You can’t always play it safe

With four sons dependent on her, Janie Everett needs to keep her life uncomplicated. Now famous scientist Aidan Hollings is disrupting her orderly world, starting with the rescue of a…bumblebee.

Aidan is only passing through her Alaska wilderness town, and wasn’t planning to bond with her two older boys. Or become so attracted to the widowed journalist. His globe-trotting days may be be over if he’s able to show Janie that they can share the adventure of a lifetime–together.

My review of If Not for a Bee by Carol Ross

If Not for a Bee is another winner in the Harlequin Heartwarming line. I love these books because they are sweet and romantic while staying clean! This is the third in the Seasons of Alaska series, but I didn’t feel like I was missing anything by jumping in on the third book.

The characters are very well developed and though Janie was driving me crazy in the beginning, she grew on me. I’m a widow like she is, and I am sure I would have reacted the same exact way. And yeah, I drive myself crazy at times too.

You will love the way the story unfolds and how sweet the story and characters are. I will probably go back to read the other two though I already know who ends up with whom. It’s all good. If you need a quick, cute romance, check this one out!

USA Today bestselling author Carol Ross grew up in small town America right between the Pacific Ocean and the Cascade Mountains, in a place where you can go deep sea fishing in the morning and then hit the ski slopes the same afternoon. The daughter of what is now known as free range parents, she developed a love of the outdoors at a very early age. As a writer, Carol loves to breathe the life she has lived into the characters she creates, grateful for the “research material” that every questionable decision, adrenaline-charged misstep, and near-death experience has provided.

    I am excited for this book. I love to read stories that take place in Alaska. I even watch those shows on buying a house in Alaska. So interesting to live in such cold.
