This story was written by Jane Evanovich.
It is the story of Alexandra Scott and Michael Casey.
Alexandra wants to escape the rat race and numbers of Wall Street. She wants to go to Alaska, where men outnumber women. So she escapes her job and fancy condo, and ends up in a rundown cabin in the woods.
Alex is in search of a husband. What she finds is a sexy pilot named Michael who is a confirmed bachelor. Michael has no intentions of getting caught up in Alex's plan to catch a husband, even though she is appealing. Alex will have to use all her skills and determination to capture him.
I enjoyed this funny, romantic book. It was fun reading about Alex and her quest to find a husband. Her adventure in Alaska has quite a few surprises and she has a lot to learn.

This was a 200 page lobotomy.
I hate to be such a hater, but it literally made my head hurt, it was that ridiculously banal and trite. I am a huge sucker for the formulaic romance and enjoy the old over-the-top fun romp, but there has to be some emotional investment in the characters for me to give a damn, and this made no effort to provide anything resembling depth. In fact, this little book seemingly reveled in sloshing through the shallowest end of the intelligence pool.
The dialogue and inner monologues were daft and woefully outdated and the characters were, at best, complete gibbering morons. How they managed to walk upright, let alone supposedly survive in the Alaskan wilderness is beyond me. This could all have been overlooked to some degree at least had there been some deliciously hot love scenes. But anything approaching frisky had all the smolder of a very wet, very dead dog, ended abruptly (forget 'fade to black'; the shutters were slammed shut so fast you had to kiss your fingers goodbye), and referred to with the oh-so-realistic trumpet of "That was glorious!" Retch.
Should you also possess the mile-wide masochistic streak I apparently do, as I read through to the end, have at it. But keep sharp implements out of reach, because eyes are handy for activities other than reading and you might forget that halfway through this delightful novel.

4 stars -- This book is good. It is not as good as it could have been because it is a 'quick' romance. There is not enough time or space to flesh out everything - characters & plot - fully. But Evanovich makes me laugh and reinforces my belief that good people - or at least good people with good intentions - 'win'. And this story checks off both of those boxes. The story revolves around (Alex)andra Scott & Michael Casey who become neighbors in/on the Alaskan Frontier. She has traded homes, literally, and has moved from her luxury condominium & her brokerage firm in NYC to a cabin with no electricity or indoor plumbing. He has both of these commodities, but while he doesn't mind sharing them, they are not hers to keep just as he is not hers. She is looking for a husband; he does not want a wife, but somehow, sparks still manage to fly!

Very typical brain-check-out book. Super cheesy. Fast read. Exactly what I expected.
The sex is overly skipped over tho, head's up. Like every time they did the do I had to reread the paragraph like "Wait what?"
Other than that, yeah, it's Janet Evanovich.
