Montana and Eddie's story was such a tearjerker as they found their way together but I loved the little bit of suspense and drama on top of the personal emotional turmoil. Looking forward to more in the series for sure.

I was beyond pleasantly surprised with how great the disability rep was in this book with BOTH main characters faced with mid-life disabilities. Montana is faced with a traumatic brain injury that affects her ability to parent her young daughter. It takes her years of therapy and treatments to learn to cope with her condition and try for a second chance with her now ten year old daughter. She ends up falling hard for local lawman Eddie, who has his own tragedy involving a shooting incident that leaves him partially paralyzed. Together, these two will learn to love again and take a chance on what could be instead of staying mired in the past. Great on audio and highly recommended especially for those that enjoy a high level of emotion depth to their feel-good, small town, Hallmark style romances!!

Montana is a adrenaline junkie, but after a accident she had to give it up. Even her kid. Yes that was pretty heartbreaking. Her brain took a hit that sometimes she just has these blackouts, so she spent 10 years with her parents instead.
Now she is back, starting a new career, getting to know her kid. It also seems I missed some drama in the previous book when she came back to her ex and his new girlfriend. Maybe for the best . I still do not understand the whole giving up for 10 years, I mean couldn't she have lived in the same city and had visits with her daughter that were supervised?
Anyway she is back, building a life. Trying to connect with her hunky neighbor Eddie.
But then there is some drama, and Eddie is hurt. I liked Eddie, he was such a good man, and now his life is totally different because of an act of violence.
Sweet story.
Good narrator. I liked her voices and she set a nice pace and tone to the story

Sweet Alaskan Fall | Jennifer Snow
5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The third novel to the Wild River Series, Sweet Alaskan Fall continues the story of some of our favorite characters. I loved continuing Tank and Cassie's story with following Montana. She blows into Wild River and just fits right in. I love that this book took some turns that were unexpected. A great addition to the series.

Loved the romance and familiar characters! My only minor quibble is that Kaia was really way too young for the issues they had her dealing with - that part just pulled me out of the story a bit.

Hmm...what to say about this one. Well...the cover is not remotely what you get in this book. Takes place in Alaska in Fall...and...yeah. But...I was happily surprised that there was some great disability rep in here. Unfortunately...I feel like the author bit off more than she could chew because this book felt all over the place to me. None of the many many ideas in this book are thoroughly explored and given the attention they deserve...so none of it quite worked for me. We've got someone with a new disability, someone who has been struggling with a traumatic brain injury for years, coming back into your child's life after years of being absent due to said injury, a drug plot, parent issues, naked skydiving, addiction...I'm probably missing some things but I think you get the idea. Definitely wasn't the sweet Fall romance that the cover seems to indicate. Not a horrible book...but not great either.

A Sweet Alaskan Fall was such a sweet installment. I will be honest I grabbed this one up because it has such a nice fall looking cover and was looking for some autumnesque reads for the season. I also wanted to do a second try at a Jennifer Snow. While I enjoyed this, it still had some problematic aspects that did keep this from a 5 star read. I will say that the major aspects of the story were really well done from the character building to the development of the romance and the sexy times were much steamier than I expected from this author (definitely plus in my book). I will say that there were some elements that felt unbelievable at times. There is an element of nude skydiving, I am not sure if thats a thing haha but I am not sure why it would be. I mean (ouch) but its fiction so you just go with the flow. And it does have ghosts in this book, it doesn't deliver on a creepy vibe or anything, but kinda weird as you don't go into this type of contemporary expecting a ghost element to the story. The other issue I had was with the heroine. I am probably the only one with this issue, as I couldn't see this in other reviews, however, I really struggled in seeing why this heroine didn't break things off with a guy she wasn't interested in especially when she was really into someone else. Or why she didn't stand up for herself or who she wanted to be with. I really felt bad for the hero in this one who was so a good hearted man, and he deserved to be treated right and just wasn't and quite frankly way too forigiving on the heroine who hardly had to grovel and she needed to do more sincere groveling. Now that being said, there are some other great elements to the story. I really enjoyed the fall themed aspect to the story, I loved seeing the disability come into play and how it developed the story, the romance for the most part was solid in how it conveyed really strong emotion. I also liked seeing the family aspect to the story. The audio narrator was done very well and I would like to listen to more of this author's work. Overall a solid story despite its negative aspects.
