What I liked about the book:
The author apparently did quite a bit of research about the race. I knew next to nothing about the Iditarod, and I learned several fascinating facts from this book.
The author did a great job of putting the reader in the story and making us wonder and worry about a racer getting eaten by wolves or trampled by a moose.
(This one is a bit of a spoiler. Sorry.) I liked that Rhodes and James acknowledged that although they had developed feelings for each other, they realized that they needed to spend some time together under normal conditions before declaring their undying devotion.
There was a bit of humor in the story. It wasn’t just dry facts and drama. Although there was plenty of drama.
What I didn’t like about the book:
The back story on the wolves was thrown in haphazardly between chapters of the main story, and while I could see where it was going, and it eventually tied in, it was confusing. And kind of weird, really.
The whole storyline of James and Rhodes erstwhile relationship, especially before the race didn’t seem realistic to me. I think part of it was the dialogue. I have a thing about dialogue in books. Theirs just didn’t seem right.
There were some things that didn’t make sense or weren’t wrapped up. Like who was sabotaging Rhodes’ dogs. She thought it was James, but it didn’t seem like something he would do. We’re never told what happened or where the distraction came from.
The bottom line:
This is a nice little adventure/romance if you don’t take it too seriously. You can learn a little about the Iditarod, while staying warm and cozy in the comfort of your favorite reading chair.
I received this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.… (meer)
