Super easy read-written just like a chick flick, but it would be a perfect book to read on the beach and just what I needed this summer.

As Alex gives up city life for Alaska, she discovers who she really is while discovering living in Alaska isn’t quite what she expected. She is looking for a husband since Alaska men outnumber women. She ends up being helped along by her confirmed bachelor neighbor as she learns the ways of the land. Quick moving story!

Romance in Alaska. Typical humor laden Evanovich

Manhunt is a stand-alone pre-Plum romance novel by popular American author, Janet Evanovich. Alexandra Scott had swapped her fancy Princeton condo and her life as a corporate high flier for a cabin in the Alaskan wilderness and a run-down hardware store. She was headed there in her candy-apple red BMW sports car with her grandfather’s Rottweiler, Bruno. There were plenty of single men in Alaska and Alex wanted a husband.

The swap was, undoubtedly, less that equitable: the cabin was run-down and very basic; the hardware store, much the same. Michael Casey had already encountered the ditsy female when he tried to rescue Bruno from drowning off the Juneau docks, so he wasn’t pleased to see Alex moving in to the cabin down the hill. But somehow he found himself helping her out anyway.

As a romantic heroine, Alex maintains her silliness throughout the book. Michael seems like the right guy for her Happily Ever After, but he has his own baggage to deal with. This one is a bit slower moving than the Stephanie Plum books, and the premise is really too silly to entertain, but the result is amusing enough to persist to the HEA.

Really like these books.glad I found it

Cute little book, I guess it's a love story but, not in an annoying love story way.

A sweet quick read about a city girl who tries to put down roots in Alaska. Anything can happen.....

It's a cute and funny book but I think it would have been a better book if it was longer. The two main characters were put into some pretty funny situations but I would have enjoyed it more if there was more detail behind them.

Picked this up off a hotel book swap shelf bc it was the only one in English. So terrible! I wasn't going to add it to my Goodreads but I thought it was slightly amusing that I read it at all.
