I bought this book because Alaskan author Tam Linsey ("Botanicaust") recommended it. For the view of life in Alaska, and the pilot's routine, it's a great story. The romance was predictable, along with the trope of the rich city boy who's certain to flounder in the rough life of rural folk, but our hero rises to the occasion, and I wouldn't have it any other way. If he couldn't hack the snow and cold and went back to the city, sniveling and turning up the thermostat, I'd say good riddance.The characters are fun and they sound authentic. I learned that it's not unusual for Alaskans to order groceries and have them delivered by U.S. mail. The things we take for granted!No new literary ground is covered here, but genre fiction is known for that. Romance fans count on buying a happy ending, and this novel delivers.
