I wasn't sure I was ready to read this book in March in West Texas, because it was taking me all the way back to the chilly cold of an Alaksan winter, but fortunately this book kept me warm.

Forrest and Margot are adorable. I appreciated how they understood each other. Initially I didn't like Margot, ordering Forrest to carry her luggage, fill her ice water, etc. Just felt like big mean girl energy and it was a good portrayal of how we don't act like ourselves when we have so much going on and we've been taken out of our comfort zone. I adored how Forrest referred to his heart as a home for Margot. Getting the fairy lights and throw blankets. I internally swooned every time he brought it up.

The third act break up caught me off guard. Like, I knew it was coming because it was inevitable that if Trapper didn't have an emergency, Savannah would? But it coming so late in the book got me. I loved that Trapper took things into his own hands and helped our lovebirds fix themselves. Why do I feel like Savannah was also an unnamed accomplice in this?

Before I leave off, I feel like a mention needs to be added that while this book was not overflowing in spicy scenes. Each one was placed perfectly and holy cannoli. The scenes were so steamy (the pun MIGHT be intended) that I can't believe Alaska had any snow left in the book. Perfection.

I received a free e-ARC of this book from Atria and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you Atria for sending me the Widget, this book was everything and then some.
