Enjoyed reading this book. Made me want to go to Alaska!
This is a good romance story in the state of Alaska. It is number three in a series. It gives the reader a good fell about Alaskan life.
i loved the story. everything geographically is correct. it was funny in the right spots and scary in the right spots. I love the adventures they had in looking for the perfect place.
Such a sweet romance. I enjoyed the entire series. Perfect summer read!
A good story, good description of Alaska. Romantic, a girl searching for real love, being a single Mom to twins and trying to make a living.
I enjoyed all three books in this series.
Cute, but too many totally unrealistic scenes/plot points, like two grown adults can’t say no to their parents’ machinations to get them together? Grow up, ppl. Also, both kept secrets and that’s a relationship killer.
cute story a little head in the sand heroine, but once she got started in her relationship things got better. Her sisters were a great addition to the story:
Now I want to go to Alaska. Great setting. Good read.
Starting out, I really enjoyed this book. It immediately drew me in and I had to laugh at the shenanigans Holly finds herself pulling within the very first few pages. I liked the humor and the back and forth banter between characters. I enjoyed getting to know Adam’s character better as the book progressed and, for the most part, I really liked his character. I liked the sisters and the dynamic among the three of them.
Spoiler Alert: The following paragraphs may contain what some perceive to be spoilers. I tried to not reveal much, but as it was something big that stuck out to me about the book, I felt I needed to mention it.
I enjoyed Holly’s character at first, but I did become very frustrated with her and some of her choices as the book progressed. One of the things that contributed to my frustration with her is the trope or theme that is often used where one or both members of the potential couple have secrets that they don’t tell each other, sometimes purposefully and sometimes because they simply don’t make it a priority to talk things through. This is something that I, more often than not, find to be a hindrance to me really enjoying a book. I know how important honest communication is in a relationship, and it’s just one of those things that gets to me when characters in books I read choose not to do that. I know that not everyone will feel that way, but I do and that’s why I struggled with part of the book.
In this particular book, both of the main characters have a secret they haven’t told the other. Holly’s was a big deal kind of secret and it really bothered me that she would purposefully choose to keep it a secret. Her reasoning for keeping it a secret didn’t make much sense to me either and, quite honestly, made her come across as immature to me. Up until all of that began to be revealed, I had really liked her character, but then I lost a little respect for her when she made the decision to continue to try to keep the secret. When her secret is revealed, not because she chose to reveal it, but because she was in a situation where it was unavoidably made known, I did appreciate Adam’s reaction to it. He was cautious, as he should be given such big news, and needed some time to digest it, but he was kind and I believe handled the situation for the most part with grace. Whereas when Adam’s secret is revealed (which he had planned to tell her), Holly overreacts and runs off, not bothering to listen or talk about it with him. It all just made her character seem a bit childish which was not the way I had first perceived her as the book started. Thankfully, there are some people in her life to talk to her and help her see her overreaction.
Again, I did enjoy the humor and the somewhat sarcastic banter between characters in the book and most of the characters where enjoyable as well. Take a look at some of the other blog stops (listed below) for other readers’ thoughts on Crazy About Alaska.
