Midnight Sun
Two months ago Frey moved to Svalbard, and Jørgen hasn't been able to stop thinking about him since. But every time he thinks about asking Frey out, the fear that fills Frey's eyes stops him. If keeping his distance keeps Frey from being afraid, then so be it.
Frey moved to Svalbard because it was supposed to be safe. He wasn't supposed to fall in love, and he definitely wasn't supposed to keep running into poachers.

The third book in the Arctic Love series is short and sweet just like Frey. We finally get to see the relationship between Frey and Jørgen develop into more than the heated glances and shy interactions that they have been sharing for since Frey moved to Svalbard.
Frey is scared all the time. Shy and introverted by nature he has become even more timid. Something has happened to break his trust in the world and the people around him. Frey has a huge crush on Jørgen and he wants to get to know him better, but he’s afraid. But slowly and sweetly Jørgen patiently pulls Frey out of his shell.
Jørgen is a good man. He has a lot going on in his life and is very close with his family and friends. From the first moment he met Frey he knew he wanted to get to know the beautiful man better. He is so patient with Frey. He knows that Frey is worth the time and the gentle wooing.
I enjoyed the slow romance and the time that the men took getting to know each other. They were so sweet and cute together. The issues with the poachers were sad and wasteful. There is no excuse for killing protected animals for sport.
I wish there had been a little more to this story. While we got to see the men spend more time together and see more of the landscape of Svalbard I would have liked to be able explore a little more of the details.

When Frey moved to Svalbard, he did so to get away from all the things that scared him the most. It would be his safe haven, his new start. He just never realized how much of new start it would be, or that he would find himself drawn to the easy-going Jørgen. But life in the cold arctic sun has a few surprises in store for both Jørgen and Frey…and not all of them are friendly.
This book would probably have been more enjoyable if I had read the two previous books in the series, but I think it did an ok job of standing alone. At least enough that I never felt too lost as to who was connected to whom. Still, if you get the chance, I would advise you read the series in order since there are several people that pop up in this book that have an influence on both Frey and Jørgen, and who seem to have played a larger role in their lives outside of what is given here in this story.
I found myself quite enjoying it, even without all the background information about a lot of the characters. It was a short read, but I loved the setting of it, and found myself quite drawn to the landscapes and small towns where Jørgen and Frey are. And it most definitely piqued my interest in the other books since I’d love to know more about these places and these people.
However since it was so short, it didn’t feel like there was enough time to build up the whole poaching sub-plot. It was clearly a big issues for the people of Svalbard, but other than the few direct confrontations with the two MCs, it didn’t seem to play as big a part as I thought it would. It was interesting enough that I wish there had been more there to read about.
The story was enjoyable, though. And like I said, I’m definitely putting the rest of the series on my TBR pile. I love the place this was set in, and while I have no idea how to make my keyboard spell half the names in this series, I think I’d love to read more about them.

This is the third book in the Arctic Nights series featuring Frey and Jorgen. Their friends/relations had been featured in the previous two books.
Jorgen came to Svalbard Island years ago to be with his BFF, and her wife. He has fathered two children with the lesbian couple, despite being gay. Frey came to Svalbard to escape the violence of Oslo, after his good friend Andreas moved there to complete his college degree. Frey's twin, Varg, also moved to Svalbard and has found himself a lover.
Frey has always been timid, though he had recently been assaulted before his move, which has rendered him incapable of experiencing touch without flinching. This is rotten, because Frey desires Jorgen and cannot bring himself to speak in his presence--he's so scared.
Jorgen is enamored of Frey; he likes how timid he is, and only wishes to encourage Frey out of his shell so he can share his feelings. Over the course of several weeks, Jorgen invites Frey on several tours of the island--in order to build a tenuous connection.
Unfortunately, while touring Frey and Jorgen witness two incidents of polar bear poaching, and it seems the second time the hunters didn't plan to leave human witnesses.
I appreciated the happy ending, but had no doubt it would end as it had.

I was actually excited for book 3, because there was something about Frey that pulled my notice and I read it before I read book 2. But the first mistake I saw was in the timeline. Frey arrived in early spring toward the end of the polar night at the end of book 1. And yet, in book two, we have Varg visiting his brother in late January after Frey’s been there a couple months. That’s a major disconnect.
I actually love that Frey ended up with Jorgen, but once again there was little depth in the story. I know – I probably sound like a broken record by now. I was sent all three books to review and they read fast enough, it wasn’t hard to read through them. But Frey had some pretty horrendous things happen in his past – horrible things he needs to get through. The book was not only too short to truly help him through those things, but the writing doesn’t really make way for it.
Lackluster sex scenes again, but overall, still a nice sweet romance.
A solid 3-stars for all three books. Cute, sweet, but I doubt I’ll ever read them again.

I received this book from NetGalley in return for a fair and honest review.
This is Frey's story - we've had Andreas and Varg's and now it's time for the 'quiet' twin. I have been enjoying this series. It's light but still manages to convey emotions and connections. I have been intrigued by Frey's story with the snippets we have already heard so I was looking forward to reading it. Unfortunately for me, this one seemed to fall a bit flat. I don't know if it's because of the short length, although this didn't seem to be a problem with the other books, or what. For me, the bare bones of the story was there but the meat was missing. It felt like the story was just skimmed over, rather than allowing the reader a bit more of an explanation and chance to digest.
I still liked the story and feel that Frey and Jørgen make a brilliant pair but I also feel a bit sorry that their story wasn't as good as I thought and hoped it would be.

After arriving on Svalbard 2 months ago, Frey has had his mind occupied by Jorgen. But Frey ran to Svalbard to be safe. Can he be safe with Jorgen??
I was given this book by NetGalley for an honest review.
This, I felt, was the weakest of the three books in this series. Frey has a story to tell, and it isn't told so well. Lots of hints as to whats happened to him, and why he ran to Svalbard, but when it comes down to it, it just sorta goes pfft.
I did like the way Jorgen dealt with Frey's history, the gentle, loving manner in which he managed to coax Frey out of his shell. But thats all I can say about it. Whether it was the length, or the delivery, I don't know, it just did not quite work for me.
3 stars

Overall Impression:
3.25* - It was good - Ok guys this one was good but in my opinion it could have been so much better. The storyline needed to be nurtured a bit not rushed the way it happened. Unfortunately I feel that T.T. didn't do his characters or this ending the time or length it truly deserved.

This story shows the author's lack of mastery of English more than some others she has written. Not sure if it is an editing issue? It is a fairly simple story, cute but doesn't really stand out
