I absolutely adored Whiteout, but for me this rom-suspense tipped over that narrow edge into being a bit too much on the survivalist/suspense side versus the romance. The action is super intense and stressful, and the two love interests having a meet disaster in Alaska as she has a stomach bug and maybe a concussion, and he thinks he's getting ambushed, made it a bit more difficult to see how these two would fall in love. I did enjoy their love story, I was just a little stressed out getting to the payoff.

Payoff it does, and Anders absolutely delivers on the emotion and heat, so that made me really happy. I was also worried about the dog a lot (it all ends up fine), and I think if I could have read the book in one sitting I'd have had a less stressful and more enjoyable time reading.

Thank you to the publisher for the ARC.
