Die Reihe hat was, dass man sich jedesmal wohl fühlt und es wie nach Hause kommen an fühlt.
Tank und Cassie haben mir beiden gut gefallen, man hätte sie nur gern zwischendurch schütteln mögen. Zu wenig Kommunikation an manchen Stellen, aber okay als Leser/Hörer braucht man dann starke Nerven halt.
Man hat die Anziehung zwischen den beiden gespürt und es war manchmal echt zum verrückt werden.
Ein wenig der Part mit der Ex Frau nicht gefallen, keine Ahnung, mich stört es immer irgendwie.
Ansonsten hat mir der Verlauf im Großen und Ganzen ganz gut gefallen und ich bin schon auf den nächsten Teil gespannt.

Man muss ihm verfallen
Es handelt sich bei „Single-Dad zum Verlieben“ um den zweiten Band der Alaska Love Reihe von Jennifer Snow. Die Bände können jedoch gut eigenständig gelesen werden.
Single-Dad Tank Weeler hat sein ganzes Leben nach seiner kleinen Tochter ausgerichtet und traut sich daher nicht, den eigenen Gefühlen mehr Raum zu geben. Denn eigentlich ist ihm und seiner besten Freundin Cassie durchaus klar, dass es mehr sein könnte zwischen ihnen. Als die Gefühle bei einer Geburtstagsfeier hochkochen und ein heißer Kuss alles zu verändern scheint, taucht jedoch plötzlich Tanks Exfrau wieder in Alaska auf und bringt das Leben von Tank und Cassie mächtig durcheinander.
Der Roman ist ein überraschend aufregender und tiefsinniger Roman, der mehr bietet, als man zunächst vermutet. Die Geschichte ist aufregend, was durch Tanks Job und das Hobbie seiner Ex gegeben ist. Aber auch die emotionale Seite wird sehr gut beleuchtet, wenn zwei Menschen in einer sicheren Freundschaft verharren und sich nicht trauen, den nächsten Schritt zu gehen. Aber man muss sich etwas trauen im Leben, auch auf die Gefahr hin zu scheitern in vielerlei Hinsicht. Tank und Cassie sind beide zudem sehr faszinierend Charaktere. Tank als super sexy und bodenständiger Vater, der alles tut für seine Tochter und sich immer an zweite Stelle setzt. Man muss ihm einfach verfallen. Cassie begeistert durch ihre Eigenständigkeit und Entwicklung, die sie im Laufe der Geschichte macht.
Ein sehr schön runder Roman mit einer sexy Liebesgeschichte mit toller Entwicklung der Charaktere, spannenden Wendungen und tollen Naturerlebnissen. Es wird von allem etwas geboten, sodass man nach dem Lesen des Buches begeistert und zufrieden verbleibt und auf weitere Teile der Reihe hofft.

Solid Romance. This really has everything most people want to see in a MF romance novel. Lead characters with interesting jobs (bar owner/ search and rescue dog trainer, adventure tour operator), simple yet meaningful backstories (kid, daddy issues), hot sex, awesome scenery, several sub plots, even a hint or two of danger. All in a best friends to lovers trope series romance. If romance novels are your thing, you're going to like this one. If they're not, this is a fun one to take a chance on. Very much recommended.

Under an Alaskan Sky by Jennifer Snow is a wonderful addition to the Wild River series. While it can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend readers begin with An Alaskan Christmas (Wild River, #1) because it does a great job of setting up Cassie and Tank's romance. It's also an amazing novel, so go read it!
For five years, Cassie has always been there for Tank and his ten-year-old daughter Kaia. Tank knows Cassie wants more but he's always been hesitant to take their friendship to the next level. He has Kaia to think about and the last thing he wants to do is risk losing his best friend. But one steamy birthday kiss changes their relationship forever. Unfortunately, his ex-girlfriend and Kaia's mom Montana chooses that moment to re-appear in his life after nearly 10 years absence. Montana's re-appearance throws Tank's life for a spin and shakes Cassie's confidence in her bond with both Tank and Kaia. If Tank can learn to put himself first and Cassie can learn to trust her own worth, the two just might have a shot at a happily-ever-after.
I didn't want to put Under An Alaskan Sky down. Jennifer Snow has a really great writing style that makes her novels so easy to read and keeps you glued to the pages. I loved watching Tank and Cassie fight for their much-deserved happily-ever-after. I fell hard for them when I read An Alaskan Christmas and was so happy to see they were the couple in book #2 of the Wild River series. I also enjoyed following along with both Tank's and Cassie's journeys of personal growth - Tank as a father and Cassie as a business owner.
I recommend Under An Alaskan Sky and the Wild River series to fans of contemporary romance with an edge of adrenaline thanks to the search and rescue aspects of the series.
Thank you to NetGalley, Harlequin and Jennifer Snow for the digital ARC!

Originally reviewed at Books Etc.
Back in December I read a holiday-ish novel, An Alaskan Christmas (review here). I was completely enthralled so I was really happy when I realized Jennifer Snow would be writing it as a series. Under an Alaskan Sky published earlier this year and I read it at a time when I needed to go back to a place that was lovely and familiar and get caught up in another love story.
I'm not really a big fan of love triangles so I was a bit worried about where Snow was taking the story when Tank's ex came back to town. Without giving much away, I really liked how the story played out. Montana says she's coming back for her daughter but you gotta believe she wants another shot at Tank. She could have been painted as a totally evil witch-with-a-b but Snow manages to portray her so, so well. Which I'm thankful for because the next book in the series will be about Montana and someone else in town.
The other reason I was so wary of Montana was because I had already fallen in love with Cassie and Tank in the first novel. Their solid friendship was so lovely but you absolutely knew it had to eventually become much, much more than a friendship. While it's admirable to think of the child in the relationship - Cassie had become like a surrogate mother to Tank's daughter - if the pair had been open with each other, they could have avoided a whole lot of heartbreak and slammed doors and runaway daughters. But where's the fun in that, right?
I adore Cassie. She is small and spunky and with a heart of gold that is head over heels in love with Tank. I admired her entrepreneurial spirit and how she worked so hard to do the very best for her business - even when it was hard and made others question her decisions (and really, they were only questioning them because they loved her so much and wanted to keep her safe).
Tank was such a great father - which was refreshing to see in a romance novel. I think the single dad trope is getting stronger so we'll probably start seeing a few more out there. It's not one I'd normally seek out, to be honest, because single parent stories just aren't my jam. (I'm childless for a reason and know what I like when it comes to romance novels. And it doesn't include babies.) But. I liked Tank. Even though he needed to give his head a shake and realize that keeping things buried and Cassie at arm's length was not helping anybody, especially not him.
All in all, Under an Alaskan Sky is just what I like in a romance novel. Jennifer Snow's novel swept me away and I enjoyed every second I spent with Cassie and Tank in Wild River. I'm really looking forward to the third novel, A Sweet Alaskan Fall, so I can get back to the small town to see how everyone is doing.

Special thanks to Harlequin for providing our copy in exchange for an honest & fair review.
Jen Snow does it again! After reading and loving An Alaskan Christmas, I hesitated to dive further into this series on the of chance I wouldn't love book 2. Well, I was wrong. It's great to be back in Wild River, Tank & Cassie & their friends to lovers relationship work great. I loved the addition of Montana & the story just works for me. I'm excited to continue the series and the audio is great!

We follow Cassie and Tank, they have been best friends forever, but there is little something else brewing between them. There is a lot standing between them, like his ex and his family live, and Cassie's business. It a slow brewing romance, with a whole lot of obstacles. I liked Cassie, but Tank was not my favorite, by far.
I wanted to love the story because the premise sounds right up my alley. But I could connect with the story, it just wasn't the best fit for me.
