Playing Dirty in Alaska by Samanthe Beck
5.0
Playing Dirty in Alaska gets five enthusiastic stars from this reader! I loved how Archer and Bridget found their way back to each other. I love the town of Captivity and it's residents and hope that there will be many, many more books to come.
Archer and Bridget's story hit all the high points of the very best second chance romances for me. From the very first interaction, they lit up the page with their chemistry and great banter. Archer's determination to prove that Bridget was his number one priority—and his willingness to accept that he needed to make amends for not prioritizing her four years prior—is what makes him one of my favorite types of heroes. He's got a goal to win back his place in Bridget's heart and he will do whatever it takes to make that happen. I definitely swooned over his level of commitment to his plan.
Bridget's a heroine you'll root for from page one. She's smart, she's always up for a challenge, and her loyalty and love for her friends and family are abundant. Given her recent grief, and the stress of working to cover the family business, it's understandable that her walls—where Archer is concerned—are thick and wide. Bridget's cautious, but she's not petty. She accepts Archer's help—knowing he has an ulterior motive—and is willing to see how things play out so long as it's at her choosing.
The romance between this couple was satisfyingly sweet and sexy. I adored their banter just as much as I loved their quiet moments together. The ending...sigh. I had tears in my eyes and felt as though my heart might jump right out of my chest. It was so perfect. I'm really looking forward to seeing this couple again in the next book of the series.
