Alaskan Sweethearts by Janet Tronstad

Description

A Match Made in Alaska



Hunter Jacobson wants no part of his grandfather's matchmaking. The lone cowboy is certain that's what the old man is doing when he trades part of their Montana ranch for Scarlett Murphy's claim to an old Alaska gold mine. Or is he running one of his legendary scams on the sweet single mom? A trip to Dry Creek, Alaska, reveals the truth—and brings Hunter and Scarlett face-to-face with a past family feud and a vulnerable present. But surprisingly it's the future that intrigues Hunter most…if he can get Scarlett to make him her groom.

My review: Alaskan Sweethearts by Janet Tronstad

4 STARS

I have only read one other book by Janet Tronstad. I wish I could go back and read the whole series of Dry Creek books.
I have enjoyed the two that I have read. I like Hunter he tries so hard to be honest and keep his grandfather on the straight path. He is a rancher. It is a clean read. Does talk a lot about faith, trust and prayer as just part of the story.

Hunter is the oldest of the family. His parents died in a car crash when he was young and his grandfather raised them. Hunter tries to make up for his grandfathers faults. He does not trust him.

Scarlett Murphy does not trust men. She has come to Montana because Mr. Colin Jacobson had written to her grandmother to make amends for something that happened decades ago. He wanted to give them some acreage and house. Scarlett is a divorced single mother. She wants to bring her family here and work the land.

Joey is five years old and scared of a lot of things. He likes the Jacobsons. He has a teddy bear he takes everywhere.

Colin Jacobson used to be a miner in Alaska. He loved Scarlett's grandmother but she got engaged to his partner. He has lots of schemes that go wrong. He took in his three grandsons and raised them after their parents died.

I thought their would be more of the story about Alaska from the title. Their is a little.
If you have been reading this series you will see a lot of familiar faces I am sure.

The setting for most of the book is Dry Creek, Montana and Nome, Alaska.

I was given this ebook to read and in return agreed to give honest review of it from Net Galley and Harlequin.
