Fearless in Alaska

by Izzy Ballard

Get out the bear spray . . . double up on the vodka . . .hide the Glock, and be prepared for anything. It’s Valentine’s Day in Alaska! Rule #1: You live in Alaska, you don’t back down when the going gets tough. Enter Abigail Alaskan, independent, ready to take on anything. An outraged grizzly? No problem. Clinging to the side of a mountain at -40 below. Done. Being reluctantly clairvoyant--not so easy. Still, she’s definitely not about to freak out over a vision about getting married on February 14th --at 2:46 to be exact. Her escape? Abbey’s old friend, a British MI6 operative, calls in a “Keep my batty brother, Ben, out of trouble on his trip to Alaska.” Only who’s going to keep Abbey out of trouble? Because when Ben and Abbey get together, it’s like Lara Croft meets Batman (or more like Maxwell Smart meets Agent 99). And before you can say “Holy Moose Nuggets, Robin,” they have a hit and run driver, burglar and kidnapper to deal with--all while keeping Abbey’s on-again, off-again boyfriend, Mac, at arm’s length so she can avoid a Valentine’s Day nightmare of the wedding variety. Unfortunately, one thing she doesn’t have a handle on is love. So when it’s starting to look like Ben may be “the one,” and Mac isn’t about to give up (oh, and the bad guys, too), she’s just hoping for the best. Too late. Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and one thing is clear, Abbey needs to do whatever it takes to make it to February l5th. No wedding ring. No casket.

After enjoying "Alaska Virgin Air" I was very disappointed in the second book in the series, "Fearless in Alaska". Abbey came off as wishy-washy and a hypocrite. Her fear of marriage to Mac was silly, because you can't get married if you don't want to. And the inclusion of Ben...was he really necessary to illustrate Abbey's fear of commitment? I guess having the book begin 1 year after the ending of the first novel didn't help. It took me a while to figure out who Tony was. I just didn't find this installament very enjoyable...I was waiting for the book to get better...but it didn't
