Summary
He’s not made for relationships。 Especially not the kind she wants…
Mason Parker doesn’t believe in love。 Sure， he cares about people。 His younger brother， for example。 That’s why he’s bringing him all the way to an abandoned cabin in the mountains to straighten him out。
But love？ That’s for fairytales。 And people who haven’t had the hope knocked out of them。
People like his brand new Little-Miss-Sunshine neighbor with the golden hair and unwavering smile。
Alaska Winter is a pure romantic。 Her silver linings always outnumber the clouds。 So when two hulking brothers move into the abandoned shack next door， she puts on a smile and introduces herself。
And gets knocked back。
That’s okay。 She’ll just be neighborly from a distance。 She won’t notice the way Mason’s muscles flex whenever he uses an axe， or the way his eyes are like flint whenever he looks at her。
And he won’t notice the way she plays with her dog in the snow when she’s only wearing skimpy pajamas。
Neighbors。 That’s all they’ll be。 What could possibly go wrong？

The truth of Alaska's disappearance as a child is finally revealed and she gets to emerge from under the shadow of being seen as fragile by her family。 Though this series hasn't avoided emotional topics this felt heavier than the previous books， with both Mason and Ty's childhood experiences。 Despite this， or maybe due to this contrast， the HEA feels more deserved。 The truth of Alaska's disappearance as a child is finally revealed and she gets to emerge from under the shadow of being seen as fragile by her family。 Though this series hasn't avoided emotional topics this felt heavier than the previous books， with both Mason and Ty's childhood experiences。 Despite this， or maybe due to this contrast， the HEA feels more deserved。 。。。more

This is such a wonderful series， and this book has only made it even better。 I was excited that this book was about Alaska as in the previous books her past comes up quite often。 This does end up being explained and I thought the way Carrie wrote this part was not only shocking but I thought it was done so well。Mason was such a great partner for Alaska。 The whole grumpy/sunshine personalities of these two characters had me eager to see how them coming together would play out。 Needless to say I w This is such a wonderful series， and this book has only made it even better。 I was excited that this book was about Alaska as in the previous books her past comes up quite often。 This does end up being explained and I thought the way Carrie wrote this part was not only shocking but I thought it was done so well。Mason was such a great partner for Alaska。 The whole grumpy/sunshine personalities of these two characters had me eager to see how them coming together would play out。 Needless to say I wasn’t disappointed。 Mason came out of his shell more and more as the story unfolded， but the conflict part of the story had him taking a hundred steps backwards。 By the end of the book he totally stole my heart and I was a bit deflated that it actually had to end。 Now I have everything crossed North’s book is next as I honestly can’t wait to read it。 I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book 。。。more

I've got to say I'm in love with this small town - the way everyone is in each other's business is seriously funny for me， since I would go absolutely mental in a place like that。 That is the reason I could connect to Mason on so many levels。 He's come to one place that holds a small piece of peace and happiness he remembers before everything went to hell for him。 He wasn't prepared to meet someone who would show him that letting people in， is not as scary as he thinks it is。 Alaska is trying so I've got to say I'm in love with this small town - the way everyone is in each other's business is seriously funny for me， since I would go absolutely mental in a place like that。 That is the reason I could connect to Mason on so many levels。 He's come to one place that holds a small piece of peace and happiness he remembers before everything went to hell for him。 He wasn't prepared to meet someone who would show him that letting people in， is not as scary as he thinks it is。 Alaska is trying so hard to prove to everyone she is strong and capable of taking care of herself without everyone looking out for her。 She can't help but want to see Mason and his brother feel welcome。 The more time she sends with Mason， the more the connection grows。 But neither one of them expected just how much their pasts were intertwined。 The story has many ups and downs， but it was funny， healing and left me feeling like everything is alright in the world。 I'm hoping the next book is about North because that man needs someone who will put him in his place。 With love of course :） 。。。more

I'm not sure what the title has to do with the actual story， but I loved this warm， emotional， wonderful romance by Carrie Elks。 Alaska is the fourth Winter cousin to find love and this book might be my favorite in the series so far。 I was completely wrapped up in Alaska and Mason's story。 It was a beautiful thing to watch the aloof Mason and defensive teenager Ty open up in response to Alaska's caring heart。 This is such a great story。 I couldn't put it down。I received a free copy of this book I'm not sure what the title has to do with the actual story， but I loved this warm， emotional， wonderful romance by Carrie Elks。 Alaska is the fourth Winter cousin to find love and this book might be my favorite in the series so far。 I was completely wrapped up in Alaska and Mason's story。 It was a beautiful thing to watch the aloof Mason and defensive teenager Ty open up in response to Alaska's caring heart。 This is such a great story。 I couldn't put it down。I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more
