Synopsis:

A soldier has six weeks to convince the only woman he has ever longed for to take a chance on life with him in Alaska….

Sara’s letters were the only bright spot during Gabe’s devastating tour in Iraq. With each new correspondence he fell harder, needed her more, wanted to be with her. Now, after initially rejecting his offer to meet, she’s shown up at the door of his isolated cabin in Alaska looking for…what? Gabe’s not sure what made Sara change her mind, but he knows he never wants to let her go.

Major Gabe Randall is everything Sara Ryan wants but nothing she feels she deserves. A modern-day spinster, Sara hides behind family obligations and the safe, quiet life she’s resigned herself to living. But secretly, even though she may have stretched the truth about who she is in her letters to him, she wants Gabe. Will he still want her when he discovers the real woman behind the pen?

Once they meet, Gabe asks her for six weeks in Alaska. Six weeks to spend getting to know each other, and then she’ll have to decide whether they are better together or apart.

From Alaska With Love by Ally James Review

I was really looking forward to reading this story. I am a huge supporter of our military and James created a sweet, delightful story that brings to light some of the difficulties our soldiers experience when deployed and on active duty.

I love the way Sara and Gabe connected. The awkward conversations along with the letters and emails that cement their understanding, and dare they say, love for each other.

But all things are not what they seem – or are they?

When Emma shows up in Alaska, you can feel the tension and uncomfortable situation. I kept wondering in Emma will ever come into her own when her family has taken her for granted for years. I love watching her slowly grow and become stronger. You find yourself cheering her on when she takes on the “mean girls”.

The frustrating part is we have to wait until close to the end for them to finally figure it all out. A slow ride, but one filled with a strong connection and one you can believe in.

James brings a true blue Americana love story reminiscent of the old days into today’s world. Sweet and romantic. You cannot miss on this one!
