This was such a cute story! Makes me want to visit Alaska.

Cute quick read that is quite the escape from reality. 29 Year old Alex trades out her New Jersey Condo for a cabin in the woods, and a cute hardware store all the way out in Alaska. For Alex this is the perfect escape for her mundane lifestyle, and where better to pursue her hunt for a husband then out in Alaska?

Characters are likable and well described and overall the novel is a cute little romance however, for me the one thing that's missing was a deeper connection between the two main characters, as it seemed that they just saw each other and boom fell in love. Even though some of the more defining characteristics of a Romance novel were missing I still really enjoyed this book. Great for anyone looking for a short humorous pick me up.

Cute, funny romance. If you're looking for something light and sweet, this will hit the spot. Alexandra Scott is tired of her fast-paced life in New Jersey and is looking for a lifestyle change. She wants to find love and get married and her job just isn't allowing her the time she needs to pursue this goal, so she quits her job, dumps her condo and heads to Alaska to a cabin and a hardware store business she found on the internet. Reality in Alaska is a vast difference from what she saw on the internet. The store is dismal, and the cabin is occupied by vermin, but she is now Alaskan Wilderness Woman and nothing is going to stop her, especially after she gets a look at her hunky neighbor, pilot Michael Casey. He is never going to see it coming.

A woman with a talent for numbers, Alexandra Scott wanted to escape the rat race and go someplace where the men outnumber the women. Trading in her Wall Street job and fancy condo for a rundown cabin in the woods. She's now Alaskan Wilderness Woman. It isn't long before she finds exactly what she's looking for#58; one sexy pilot named Michael Casey. But this confirmed bachelor has no intentions of getting caught in any woman's crosshairs; especially a hunter as appealing as Alex. It'll take skill, determination, and a little romantic persuasion for this big-game hunter to bag her prey.

This is a cute story about Alex who leaver her upscale job and condo and trades it for a cabin and a bait store in Alaska. She is convinced her biological clock is ticking and she thinks she'll have a better time finding "the right man" in Alaska. When she meets her neighbor Casey. Casey does everything he can think of to get her to go back to "where she belongs." Alex digs in and tries to stay but when her outhouse goes up in smoke, it all gets a little overwhelming for her. Then she meets Bubba who teaches her about dogs, dogsleds, and mushing and she grows to love Alaska all over again. Only Casey gets extremely jealous and a fist fight ensues. A fun story.

Cute quick read about Alex, who leaves the NYC work grind & NJ condo for a shack with some property and a "hardware store" in Alaska. Her main goal is to find a husband, but getting away from the rat race comes in a close second. She meets her neighbor, Casey, who is not looking for marriage, for reasons we find out in the middle of the book. Alex is in it to win it and Casey is fighting a losing battle!

Cute, fun, quick read!

Omg I wanted to climb in the book and hit Casey myself. Loved the book. But Janet Evanovich doesn't right any bad stories.

Was Escape but not a good one....

This book was ok. A lot of fluff, not much substance.

This book was funny and good.

3.5

2.5 stars.

Look, usually these Janet Evanovich romance novels make me super ragey and I end up throwing them across the room because they're squicky and misogynistic. In contrast, this one was totally cheesy and totally predictable but actually not that terrible in comparison??

Essentially, a 29 year old woman is sick of her corporate life, and somehow ends up deciding to do a swap with some old guy she barely knows. He gets her $400,000 New Jersey condo, she gets his Alaskan cabin and hardware store. Which is CLEARLY a terrible deal. She takes her dead grandfather's enormous, overweight Rottweiler with her, and obviously meets a cute guy when said Rottweiler dives for a doughnut on the ferry and ends up in the water.

Cute Guy turns out to be her next door neighbour, and has a house with all mod cons, which is super convenient because the cabin she bought turns out to have no electricity or running water, it's infested with mice, and she manages to burn down the outhouse.

Of course, there's obligatory romantic tension in the form of her having moved to Alaska to find a husband and him being all "EW, MARRIAGE? NO THANK YOU."

So yeah. Totally cheesy. Totally predictable. Definitely had moments of "........NO, STOP". But far less than a lot of Evanovich's other romance novels. So essentially, it wasn't great. But it could have been so much worse.
