Quick read. Uplifting. Nice story. Character development is excellent, especially considering the length of the story. Highly recommend anything by Jennifer Snow.

Short, Quick Introduction. This a short novella - just 56 pages according to Amazon - that is meant to introduce a new small Alaskan town and series. This complements the "back door pilot" from Alaska Dreams - Book 6 in Snow's Wild *River* (Alaska) series, where the Coast Guard actually played a role in that tale as well and it was clear what Snow was doing the instant it happened.
This tale itself is a solid introduction to Snow's overall style, without the 350 ish pages she normally works with. Which makes it a great first book for someone that may be wanting to try Snow out for the first time, as the time investment here is minimal - pretty sure I finished this book in under an hour, and I've already got the official Book 1 of this series - Sweet Home Alaska - on deck. Very much recommended.

Wild Coast, Book 0.5
I was going to read Sweet Home Alaska, then realized this novella was included in the back of the book as a "bonus story", and was actually written first, to kick off the series I guess. So I went to the back of the book and read it first because I like to read series in order. I'm not really a big fan of novellas, especially in romance, as the characters aren't always fleshed out as much and I'm also not a big fan of instalove. I like to get to know the characters while I watch the characters get to know each other, and there's not always time for that in a novella. Such as this one, where they know each other less than a week. So while I'm not positive they will live happily ever after (I mean it's a romance so of course they will but I was not given enough proof!), I did still enjoy the story and the characters and look forward to the next Wild Coast story.
