Annabeth Albert has been a go-to author for me for a very long time. Her books are just great to get my mind off of things and indulge in a simple but still emotional romance.
But this one really took my heart in a special way. I love absolutely everything about this (also a huge plus that my favorite narrator did the audiobook). Definitely my favorite out of the many books ive read of hers so far 🧡

I really struggled to get into this story. That kind of kills me because I usually LOVE Annabeth's stories, but these characters...I just don't know.
I enjoyed their individual journeys, but as a couple...I just wasn't feeling it.

You never know what you are missing until it is right in front of your face. Griffin finds so much more than what he bargained for when he takes over a guide for his family's wildlife tour in Alaska. River, a former model who has turned into a travel writer sees so much more in Griff than he sees in himself. When the two connect the chemistry is so hot, but will the former military recluse come out of his shell and continue in a relationship once the tour is over? Can River finally find happiness and stop running away from confrontation? With beautifully written characters and a storyline that had me hooked form the opening pages this was a fabulous read. Once again Annabeth Albert creates characters that the reader cannot help but fall in love with.

I really enjoyed this story.
The characters meshed well for me especially because they were real.
The book didn't fly by but that was OK because insta-love is not my thing.
The setting seemed almost magical with the Alaskan landscape painting a gorgeous picture.

A beautifully and emotional adventure!
I love Annabeth’s writing and this one is exceptional. A fun-loving premise with a deep undertone of real-life issues and struggles. River and Griff are such deep and dynamic characters, I felt for both of them!! Griff struggle with his sobriety and River fights his eating disorder. Annabeth took such care with these issues and characters while keeping them so very real. If these are issues you struggle with, be warned as Annabeth’s writing is emotionally real that it could be confronting. I was moved by the reality found in these characters and their issues and she didn’t shy away from the real world environments these issues can stem from and ‘thrive’ in. The complex dynamics of River’s eating disorder are confronting at times but injected with so much emotion and truth; it is hard to ask or seek help sometimes.
This is a story of healing and dealing with your issues. They will never go away but they can be managed with the right love and supports. I liked that this story felt more real and true. It’s not a fluffy, ride off into the sunset story. It’s a real-life struggle to heal, address and manage your issues every day while trying to live your life. If you’re lucky enough to find your person along the way then you have something else to fight for. River and Griff are lucky to have found each other and I loved the very real journey to healing and happiness!! Another fantastic story from Annabeth!!
