ALASKAN DATING SITE/PERSONALS ADS ROMANCE ALERT!!!! Not only do we get the beauty of Wild Alaska, and all of the elements and wonder (and shock and awe on first visit to this wonderful and sometimes unforgiving area), we get a dating site!!!!! And that brings on a whole slew of trepidation, blind-ish dates and maybe even a little drama. 😉
P.S. I loved the first book in this series and need to jump into the rest!! Here’s my Book Review of Single in Sitka by Katy Regnery
Maryse: I had so much fun (and feels) reading this one. Pure sweet (yet steamy!!! HOLY MOLY!!) contemporary romance, with just the right amount of angst to keep me concerned about how it would end. And a cop-romance which I’ve obviously got a thing for. YAY ME!!
Nancy: I liked it, too!
Michele G: Over the weekend, I read an ARC of Katy Regnery’s Nome-o Seeks Juliet. It’s the second one in the Odds-Are-Good series and I’ve enjoyed both of them. They are all standalone books with the common factor being that they are tied to personal/classified ads being placed by men from Alaska. This one had a little bit of the Vixen and the Vet feel to it (just a little).
The titles and covers are light and fun but the books really do involve serious issues, have steamy scenes and sometimes heartbreaking decisions. I 5 starred this one and 4 1/2 starred Single in Sitka – which was the first one in the series.
Denise: Ohhhh! Sounds so good. Can’t wait to read it
Debra: I read the second and third too, so so good
Teresa: Love this series ❤️
About book #1
A single Dad. A personal ad. What could possibly go wrong?
When Seattle journalist, Amanda McKendrick, pitches a new story about the increase of bear attacks in Sitka, her newspaper sends her north for two weeks. While there, she answers the personal ad of single dad, Luke Kingston, looking for a little no-strings-attached fun to pass the time.
But the sweet, widowered father of three–who just happens to be a smokin’ hot state trooper–turns out to be a lot more than Amanda bargained for. As the days go by, she wonders if it’ll be possible to return to Seattle without leaving her heart behind.
