Review

When Amanda and her coworker pitch a new story to her newspaper, Amanda finds herself heading to Sitka, Alaska to research the “bear problem.” She has a lot of work to do before the column goes live so she knows she’ll be busy collecting data but she figures she has some time to answer a personal ad. He’s a single dad who is looking for some fun himself, and just what Amanda needs to get over her cheating ex. What could go wrong with a little no-strings-attached fun that has an end date? Find out in Single in Sitka!

Amanda answers Luke’s “Single in Sitka” ad and meets up with him in a local hotel bar. The attraction is immediate and their want is palpable. Amanda isn’t looking for anything serious and Luke is only trying to get out after losing his wife so they settle for causal fun during the time she is in town.

And fun they have! They fit so well together, and even though they have different experiences with relationships it feels like they are on the same page. I believed the chemistry, connection, and feels. I could see them growing closer and I knew that hearts would be involved. They are both good people who are genuinely nice and they couldn’t help but fall for each other.

Luke is such a great dad and cares what his children think. He isn’t ready to dive into anything serious and I totally understood his conflict when his feelings start to strengthen. Amanda was hurt and needs a rebound but she never imagined falling for a single father in Alaska. She’s enjoying their fun but she finds herself wanting more when she gets to know Luke better.

I kiss him like I would if he belonged to me and I belonged to him, and when he draws away, he looks into my eyes with such vulnerability, such naked sincerity, it almost makes me cry.

I loved Amanda and Luke together and I was rooting hard for a happily-ever-after. When Amanda heads back to Seattle at the end of her two week visit, it is heartbreaking. I wanted them to be together and I know they are what the other needs even if it’s hard to take a chance.

I was excited to see them reconnect and their reunion is sweet and sexy. I loved that they find ways to spend time together, and not just the two of them.  The kids are an important part to the story and I loved that Amanda loved them too.

The long distance takes a toll on them and they have a lot to work through if they want a future together. Even with the bumps along the way, in the end, Luke and Amanda know what they want and I love that they were willing to fight for their love.

Overall, Single in Sitka is a sweet, steamy, heartwarming romance. It’s a great start to the Odds-Are-Good series and I can’t wait to get back to Alaska for more love stories that stem from personal ads in The Odds Are Good magazine!

4 stars!
