Carrie Slayton, a big-city society-page columnist, longs to write more serious news stories. So her editor hands her a challenge: She can cover any topic she wants, but only if she first scores the paper an interview with Finn Dalton, the notoriously reclusive author.

Living in the remote Alaskan wilderness, Finn has written a megabestselling memoir about surviving in the wild. But he stubbornly declines to speak to anyone in the press, and no one even knows exactly where he lives.

Digging deep into Finn's past, Carrie develops a theory on his whereabouts. It is the holidays, but her career is at stake, so she forsakes her family celebrations and flies out to snowy Alaska. When she finally finds Finn, she discovers a man both more charismatic and more stubborn than she even expected. And soon she is torn between pursuing the story of a lifetime and following her heart.


I read this in one sitting a lazy Boxing Day morning. Love December 26th with absolutely no plans :-D

Not really my usual fare. I tend to stay away from romance novels that are labelled as such. But this came highly recommended and was cheap! so I thought I'd give it a chance.

I ended up really, really enjoying it! It's fluff to be sure (and not really all that Christmassy, to repeat my usual refrain), but it was sweet and enjoyable. Highly improbable, but engaging and fun. Of course, the only problem is that I now want to read the book constantly mentioned! :-P
