Summary: delightful
Review: Every now and then I feel the need to read a romance that is easy and fun to read. Macomber has written two books in one that is a double treat. They both are centered in Alaska so that one gets the additional gift of learning a little about that state. The first is about Bethany Ross who is the new teacher and Mitch Harris who is the law among other things in the town of Hard Luck, Alaska. Mitch is drawn to Bethany but fights his attraction because of the death of his first wife and he figures it won't be long before her bags are packed and she is heading for greener pastures. Bethany has come to teach, but her main objective is to find and learn what she can about a man called Ben. She isn't planning on leaving for a while, and of course she is drawn to Mitch but can't figure him out. She feels he is as attracted to her as she is to him but he acts the opposite-and then there is his daughter who tries to be matchmaker. The second story is about Matt and Karen who are now divorced. Karen grew up with a father who couldn't keep a job and the financial insecurity that resulted. Matt had begun to do the same thing and she decided she couldn't deal with it so she left him and divorced him. Matt buys and old lodge that needed fixing up and put everything into it, but he still loves Karen and she still loves him. His sister, who Karen has remained friends with, is getting married and wants Karen to be in her wedding. After getting Matt's okay that it won't bother him if Karen is in the wedding, her plans evolve. You guessed it, Matt and Karen have a one nighter and then Karen leaves. Karen finds out she is pregnant and because the pregnancy is making her ill she agrees to stay at Matt's lodge until after the baby is born, in seperate bedrooms, of course. The rest you will have to find out for yourself. If you want a nice relaxing evening reading a fun but not to strenuous book, this is right up your alley. I enjoyed the book.

Summary: midnight sons 1 2 3
Review: I have read all 3 books and was glad I had all in hand before reading, I thought the outcomes were very predictable, I was disapointed that there was not more substance to the characters. If I had not had all 3 it would have been hard to follow. Hard Luck, Alaska was a great setting for these books, life is hard and time moves slowly when far removed from cities and family

Summary: Great Book!
Review: I really enjoyed the book and couldn't put it town. I grew up in Alaska and so much of it was so true! I can't wait to read the next in the series!

Summary: A realistic look at romance in Alaska
Review: It is obvious from the start that Ms. Macomber has done her homework as far as Alaska is concerned. She has the perfect mix of characters in the small Alaska town of Hard Luck and just the right number of inconveniences that one would encounter living above the Artic Circle. The first short story about Mitch and Bethany is truly heartwarming. Equally sweet is the happy ending Bethany finds to another part of her life. That section of the book was hard to put down. The second story about Matt and Karen was good, but the constant bickering and on and offs of their relationship got to the point of belaboring the issue. I think that with one or two of their arguments omitted, it would still would have worked. It got to the point in 'Because of the Baby', that I kept reading because I felt obligated to finish the book. Maybe looking for some redeeming quality. Overall, I have to say that the book is great for some nice, light reading. They are stories with warm and sincere charcters. I have bought several more of her books, because they are well written and tasteful. And even if Matt and Karen went at each other at bit too much for me, Ms. Macomber is an author will worth following.

Summary: A series you'll want to share with your friends
Review: This second book in Macomber's "Midnight Sons" series is a brilliant follow up to her first. I'm a die-hard Nora Roberts fan, but find Macomber's books are just as dear to me, but for different reasons. Instead of the rich and famous, Macomber focuses on people you feel you might actually know. This draws you further into the story. I can't recommend it highly enough.
