Under the Northern Lights by S.C. Stephens
5.0

A sweet and endearing love story that takes place in the heart of the Alaskan wilderness. Slightly terrifying at times, heartbreaking at others, this story talks of loss, loss of a loved one, loss of faith in humanity, loss of faith in a higher power and how one person has dealt with his grief. Alone, Mallory makes her annual trip to photograph Alaskan wildlife. It's her passion. Her calling. Until the unthinkable happens and her world is turned up side down. Surviving is the only option. It's the only thing that matters. And that's what she does. Until another harrowing experience leaves her at the mercy of the very animals she adores. Her savior comes in the form of a harsh looking man that helps her and takes her to his cabin. Where she will be stuck all winter long. Other than her family thinking she is dead, she may as well make the most of it. Slowly they begin to form a friendship. That for her blooms into more. But is he evne capable, or willing to open himself up to her? Or anyone? Deeply passionate and terrifying in equal measure, this story will leave you satisfied and the vivid way Alaska and it's beauty are painted it certainly makes for some pleasant images. A well written and beautiful tale that deserves all the stars.
