Ratings and reviews

This was a polished, enticing read that I was quite excited about. Martin brought Alaska to life in a big way that really allowed me to experience it alongside her characters. It was emotionally turbulent from beginning to end. Martin developed a low-key suspense that really packed a punch. I found this novel quite enjoyable, but the pace was a bit slow. Until the end, of course, when it raced forward. It was a great read but for me was missing that ‘can’t put it down’ quality. Olivia is a very linear character who wants everything to fit into neat boxes. Life just doesn’t work that way so she takes to avoiding things that don’t conform for her. Paired with Rafe, who goes for exactly what he wants, readers are in for some intriguingly comical and extremely romantic moments. These two were actually a real joy to get to know. The parallels between Liv’s past & present lives add a lot of context to the story as a whole. Overall, this was an enjoyable read that I’m definitely glad to have read. Martin brings Alaska & suspense to life in a big way, along with some explosive romance.

Excellent romantic suspense! As with all Kat Martin's books, the writing is flawless with a great pace,storyline, and characters. The chemistry between Rafe and Liv jumps from the pages. Liv and her secrets are just some of the secrets Rafe needs to unravel. Finding a murderer is another. Definitely a great read and one I highly recommend.

This book falls right in line with all of Kat Martin's books. Excellent read.
