Fin­ished Alaskan Rene­gade by Kate Bridges. This is a his­tor­i­cal romance set in the wilds of Alaska.

Nurse Vic­to­ria Wind­haven needs a body­guard to escort her through the Alaskan wilder­ness so she can go tend to some injured min­ers. But Brant Mac­Quaid is not what she had in mind — espe­cially since he once broke off an engage­ment to her sis­ter. Now Brant is a bounty hunter who’s on the trail of a dan­ger­ous crim­i­nal who’s fled to Alaska to escape the law. Sparks fly as the two set out into the wilder­ness, but falling in love isn’t the only dan­ger that they face …

I’ve said it many times here on the blog, and I’m sure that I’ll say it again — but I’m an absolute sucker for west­erns. I just love the genre. I enjoy just about every west­ern romance that I read, and this one was no exception.

Bridges has a nice, easy-to-read style, and she really makes the Alaskan set­ting come to life. I also liked how the rela­tion­ship between Vic­to­ria and Brant grad­u­ally devel­oped, and the fact that they both gave in a lit­tle in order to get their hap­pily ever after.

Over­all, if you like west­erns like I do and are look­ing for a quick read on these cold, snowy days, give this book a try. Thumbs up.
