Before I read this book, I looked at some reviews on Amazon. They were mixed, and the one thing that stuck out in my mind was the reviewer who commented that the book had too many personal viewpoints thrown in, particularly with respect to gay men. I might not have noticed the number of times the subject of gay men appears in the book, as there is one gay character, but it did seem that it was kind of over done (and awkwardly so). I absolutely love Suzanne Brockmann's books, and I have read every single one (the TDD and Troubleshooters series are keepers and I've read them multiple times). I have no problem with gay characters and that's not why, in my opinion, this book was just okay. The story was somewhat interesting, and the characters could have been very interesting, but it all fell a bit flat. The paranormal aspect was just okay (but I caveat with the fact that I'm not a huge fan of the paranormal). The one thing that really stuck out for me was that the heroine comments several times on the hero's southern drawl (or cowboy twang). Now, I've only been to Alaska once (where our hero was born and raised), but I've never heard of anyone from that region speaking with the cowboy or southern overtones. The hero's ancestor was a wild west cowboy, but it struck me as extremely odd that the hero was billed as a cowboy.
