This book was written in 1982 and because of that the reader will find things a bit primative - namely no GPS, no cell phones, and no mention of global warming. The story is set in Alaska when Shannon Hayes receives a one-way plane ticket from her fiance. No letter, no phone call, just the ticket. She packs her bags, tells her parents the wedding is that weekend and flies off to the Last Frontier. Upon arrival, she doesn't find her fiance; there is no phone number, no one has seen nor heard from him in 2 weeks and Shannon is stuck at a nice hotel. Obviously, she has unlimited resources because she offers to pay for a search party to fly around looking for him when it is discovered that he has crashed in the wilderness. During the search, she meets Cody Steele who in one look captures her heart. Really? The man is a rogue. He pursue her relentlessly and tells her he always gets what he wants. Husband material?
The book was short and I finished it in a couple of hours. It did keep my attention more because I wanted to find out if the fiance would be found alive or not. I guess I'm older and more cynical or times have really changed, but Cody Steele didn't steal my heart.
A Renaissance Woman's quest to live a clean, green, intellectually stimulating life. Starting over and doing it right. Plus - the snippets of life that make me so totally unique
