My Review

This is an entertaining romantic suspense that concentrates more on relationship development than action. Mara and Tanner are on their own as they travel through a snowy landscape. They periodically interact with the villains but most of the time they are talking with each other or thinking about their relationship. Mara is a strong and likable character. Tanner is a good hero and Britta the dog was great. This is part of a series but reads relatively well on its own.

This is a book for readers who like an emphasis on relationship building with periodic times of suspense.

My rating: 4/5 stars.

More from Dana

What a challenge to write the eighth book in this fabulous Pacific Northwest K-9 Unit series! Writing a continuity (linked books with an overarching mystery) with seven other authors requires us to work closely together which is a rare blessing in this solitary business. There were so many good conversations, emails and texts that went into the construction of this series. Since wilderness escape novels are my favorite, it was great fun to write Tanner, Mara and Boxer Britta’s dramatic survival story. I hope you enjoy the book and the entire series as much as we enjoyed putting it together for you!
