3.25⭐

"... When I left," Amaruq said, "you were at the forefront of my mind." With his heart in his mouth, David whispered, "Why?" "That's where you always were."

Another sweet installment from this historical romance series but this time with more angst and pining. 🤌🏻

✔️ M/M Friends to lovers
✔️ I hate you for making me chase you down in the middle of nowhere, but wait just kidding, I've been in love with you for years.
✔️ Alone in the wilderness of Northern Canada
✔️ One bed to stay toasty
✔️ Sweet wolf-doggy companion

I almost wish this one had been longer. More pining! More tension! More pretending that they aren't hopelessly in love with one another! (Also the whole backstory is very tragic)

I loved Amaruq's magic and the connection with his indigenous culture.

And I can't forget Nukka because she is a good girl 🥹❤️
