review 1: The philosophy of Good Riddance, Alaska: Good Riddance is where you leave behind whatever troubles you. That is exactly what Dalton Saunders did eight years ago. He walked away from his humdrum life as a CPA and his cheating fiancee for adventure as a bush pilot in a tiny Alaskan town. His new carefree, no attachments lifestyle seemed perfect until the smart and beautiful Dr. Skye Shanahan came into town and showed him what he had been missing. Skye meant for her stay in Good Riddance to be a brief two-week assignment as the town's substitute doctor while their regular physician was on vacation. Though unhappy at the direction her life had taken back home in Atlanta, Skye can not believe someone would just up and move to the middle of nowhere and start over. That is ... moreuntil the ruggedly handsome and charming Dalton makes her question what is truly important and whether she is strong enough to leave her troubles behind as well.Northern Exposure was a sweet romance filled with a cast of delightfully quirky characters. I loved the idea of a tiny town in Alaska being a place to start fresh, even for someone like the prim and proper city girl, Dr. Skye Shanahan. There is great chemistry between Dalton and Skye from the moment they meet. Of course, it begins as a love/hate relationship. Skye, the sensible doctor, is certain that an untamed Alaskan frontiersman is wrong for her, and Dalton feels the same way. Little do they know they have more in common than what's on the surface. But, their sexual tension is intense! I had to laugh at the snarky banter between them. I found Dalton completely irresistible! Once Skye did some soul searching and realized what was missing from her life, she did too. (Secluded lakeside cabin in the Alaskan wilderness + Dalton = Bliss) Northern Exposure is a quick and fun read. It ended with a bit of a cliff hanger involving the town's displaced southern belle mayor, so I'm excited to see what happens in the next book!
review 2: 3 ½ stars – Contemporary Romance This was a sweet, charming read about uptight Dr. Skye Shanahan, who comes to a quirky, small town called Good Riddance, Alaska to fill in for their local doctor for two weeks and finds everything she didn’t know she needed or wanted, in both the friendly townspeople and the hot romance she engages in with sexy bush pilot Dalton Saunders. It’s not quite as steamy as other Harlequin Blazes that I’ve read, but fans of shows like Northern Exposure, small town romances, series like Virgin River, and romance set in the wild, rugged beauty of Alaska might enjoy this. 3 ½ stars. less
