Alaskan Holiday
Author: Debbie Macomber Genre: Fiction / Christmas Publisher: Random House Publishing Group, 2018 Pages: 256 Rating: Recommend Synopsis: Before beginning her new job as sous chef at one of Seattle's finest restaurants, Josie Stewart takes on a six-month position cooking at a lodge in an Alaskan lake town. It's only temporary - or so she thinks, as she becomes a valued part of the community, failing in love with the people who call Klutina Lake home. But on Alaskan man, in particular, stands out among Josie's new friends: Palmer Saxon, a quiet, intense sword craftsman, who very existence forces her to question whether her heart wants to return to Washington at all - or make Alaska her home. Review: It's a Hallmark movie in hardback! The character of Jack was a little overdone and his antics were eye roll worthy, but Palmer and Josie were cute enough to compensate. I wish I had met them earlier in their relationship in order to have a stronger connection to them. This novel was exactly what I expected: light, cute, and a quick read. Alaska has always fascinated me, but even more so since reading The Great Alone. It was fun to read another in that setting.
