Helpful Score: 2
This book was okay. It was a silly romance. And I didn't care for C.J. Critt's voice.

Although this book is an earlier work (1989) than most of the 12 novels/novellas in Evanovichs early career, it seems much better than most. First, no cars explode. Second, it takes more than 10 minutes for the couple to fall in love with each other!
Third, this story isnt just fun-and-games in the bedroom; there are serious issues each must grapple with before committing to each other. Dont get me wrong, it has plenty of hilarity and cute nonsense.
Alexandra Scott has reached the tipping point in her life; her biological clock is working overtime and she doesnt see a way to meet eligible men because she works so hard in Manhattan. Alex decides that she has to do something different if she is going to meet a marriageable partner in her lifetime.
After some research, Alex realizes that men seriously outnumber women in one state Alaska. On a whim, she exchanges her Princeton condo ($400,000) for a cabin and small business in Alaska sight unseen! You know she is in trouble now right? Things get progressively worse but Alex is an unfailing optimist who refuses to be cowed by a few disasters and herds of mice.
Alexs next mile neighbor is Michael Casey, a pilot and partner in a thriving business. He is not interested in marriage but he is very interested in a short-term romance with Alex.
This is a very quick read with several laugh-out-loud moments. The story is predictable but not as mindless as most of Evanovichs early novels. Enjoy!

This was a fantastic book! I enjoyed every minute of this one.
Alexandra leaves her life in New Jersey & heads for Alaska. Will she find the man of her dreams? Another great Evanovich story!
Alex and Casey. Not a whole bunch of depth, but a really cute book. Reader was easy to listen to and I didn't want it to end!
It is light-hearted, easy to follow, typical ending. Not outright sexy but imbedded into the story. Good for young girls through maturity.
My favorite of all her books so far and I have listened too or read many of them. I am not passing this on right now. I have listed to it 4 times.
Simple, but cute. Enjoyed it.No surprises.
Manhunt wasn't funny. It was poorly written and had nothing to recommend it. I'd say it was actually un-listenable (since this was an audio book). Couldn't even get through the first CD because it was just so boring.
Her later work (Stephanie Plum series) is much better. Stick to that.

Alexandra Scott, Alaskan Wilderness Woman. It had a terrific ring to it, but Alex felt a sudden twinge of uncertainty. She'd traded in her Wall Street job and fancy condo for a rundown cabin in the woods and a bait & tackle store. She'd wanted to escape the rat race and to go husband-hunting where men outnumbered women four to one, but was she ready for the challenge?
Then she spotted Michael Casey, a sexy pilot who was undaunted by disaster, has hero written all over him...and was a confirmed bachelor. Michael Casey was the man she'd come to Alaska to hunt, and Alexandra Scott had him in her sights.

such a great author!
I am woman hear me roar! If you enjoyed watching the TV series 'Men in Trees' you'll enjoy this.
Love this book! Easy reading and relaxing!
Cute, predictable story. Easy to listen to while driving.
I like most Janet Evanovich books, they are generally very entertaining. This one was not her best effort. Too bad I can't send it back!
