Super Read, 2008-04-05
Even if you haven't read the earlier titles in the series, Debbie gives enough background so you will not only enjoy reading and learing about Alaska, but want to read the previous titles.

Fun Read, 2001-11-19
I really liked both of the stories in this book. I liked that MacComber developed the father/daughter relationship between Bethany and Ben as much as the romance between her and Mitch. I really got to know and like all of these characters. The only criticisms I had was that I wish that there was dialogue written for Susan and Chrissie as they did their matchmaking and between Bethany, her mother, and Peter Ross.I enjoyed the Matt/Karen dialogue as well. You can feel both of their pain because they divorced even though they still loved each other. You root for them throughout the whole book. I especially laughed at Scott's "advice." It was great comic relief for a serious subject.

A feel good novel, 2000-08-31
The storyline in this series of books revolves around the efforts of one family trying to inject some new life into their small community in Hardluck, Alaska. The brothers run a small airline service (mail, people, deliveries), and employ a team of pilots. The community is heavily male oriented and in an attempt to get more females into the town, they run an ad for female staff offering them each a small area of land upon completion of a year long contract. This book comprises two novels (one pilot per story).
I had not read anything from this author prior to this work, but I found these two very enjoyable. The plot was lightweight, but the characters were sweet and innocent (compared to some of the darker, tortured heroes around these days). I went to bed with a nice glow after the requisite happy ending and look forward to receiving the others in the series soon.

The Last Two Bachelors, 2000-07-20
It wasn't a surprise that Christian was not able to function without thinking about Mariah after he stop being so stuborned. I knew all along that he would eventually admit that he was in love with Mariah. Nice to be able to dream of such romantic times and put yourself in their place for a time. Debbie Macomber's books keep you reading on and you do not want to stop reading once you start, but must, sigh!

great wrap-up, 2000-07-04
This book was great! It wrapped up all the happenings in Hard Luck, Alaska. It also rapped up all the characters live's. This series left no loose ends. I liked this book because all the characters from the previous two books were brought back in and had a part in the story. This book showed the bond between all the people of Hard Luck. This was an easy read. You will want to keep reading to find out how everyone's stroy ends. This book continued the bond between the three brother's Christian, Swayer, and Charles. The idea of bringing women to Hard Luck worked out for all involved. This book finally finds Duke Porter, Midnight Son's best pilot falling in love. Debbie Macomber's books are always well written, if you have enjoyed any of her other books, this series is a must read. Unlike some other series, this one left no loose ends. This series was one of the best I have read. By the end of this book I wanted to live in Hard Luck and find a handsome man. While reading this book you feel like you know everyone personally. Abbie and Sawyer's son, Scott, ends the book for us all by telling how everybody's lives have settled into place. You will enjoy the great advice of this young boy as he helps, and watches the people of Hard Luck fall in love. It was a great way to end the book. This is a must read!
