Let There Be Love by Melissa Storm is an amazing story of love and redemption set in the world of Alaskan sled dogs (who are super cute even if they are working). Both Lauren and Shane have deep stories, and they developed into people I would love to call my friends.

Lauren starts out a little lost. Hating her job and not sure what she wants to do with her life. When her father dies unexpectedly, she finds out that his past (and hers) are not what she thought they were. So off to Alaska she goes – to discover her sledding history.

Seth’s story was a bit more complicated from the very beginning. And there were many times I wondered why he was such a jerk all the time. Lauren seems to thrive taking care of Mr. Grump and his team of sled dogs, but his refusal to open up drives her crazy.

She does a few sneaky things that she shouldn’t have, and somehow Seth ends up apologizing for them. Which bothered me a bit, because it should have been the other way around, but they seemed to work it out.

As Lauren and Seth start to develop a relationship, both of the pasts came back to visit in ways that I didn’t see coming. It was the perfect dose of extra drama to keep things moving along as they still fought their feelings for each other.

This was a great start to a series that I ended up binge-reading. Animals, romance, and great personalities are the perfect book combo.
