Industry Reviews "Jack London, move over. The Queen of Romance has you in her sights....Original characterization, brisk pace, and a great feel for the grandeur of the setting--not to mention a fabulously tough young heroine who puts her vapid chick-lit sisters to shame--add up to a wonderful read. Romance will never die as long as the megaselling Roberts keeps writing it." (starred review) Kirkus (09/01/2004)
"[A] richly textured novel that captures the intimacy of smalltown police work, the prickliness of the pioneer spirit and the paradox of a setting at once intimate and expansive, welcoming and hostile, indisputably American and yet profoundly exotic to those in the lower 48." (starred review) Publishers Weekly (09/06/2004)
"The awe-inspiring Roberts picks the breathtaking and unforgiving backdrop of Alaska for her newest romantic thriller....Meg and Nate are two extremely complex and captivating characters." Romantic Times BOOKclub - Jill M. Smith (10/01/2004)
