from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion.
A very
entertaining romance!
When I first
received the email offer to sign up and review this book I thought of all of the
wonderful romantic comedy Christmas stories that Debbie has written. When it
arrived in the mail I started by reading her note at the beginning. She
explains that this novel is a departure from her previous Christmas stories in
that it is a simple romance without any of the comedy aspects from earlier
works. It is exactly what she said it is, a fantastic romance.
Carrie Slayton is
trapped in writing the society-page column at a Chicago newspaper. She decides
to resign from her job unless she can get a more challenging assignment for the
paper. Her editor hands her a challenge: she can cover any topic she wants, but
only if she first scores an interview with Finn Dalton.
Finn Dalton has written a best-selling novel.
He refuses to do any interviews and in fact no one has been able to locate him.
He lives in the remote Alaskan wilderness. Will Carrie even be able to locate
him much less get him to give her an interview?
Debbie has done a
marvelous job of developing these two very different characters. They are both
easy to like and understand. I was drawn into the story very quickly and was
rooting for them to be able to work out their differences and come up with a
compromise that they can both live with.
I really enjoyed your review! I've started reading a ARC copy of this book, and looking forward to reading more! =)
