Northern Exposure
New York photographer Wendy Walters had come north for peace and quiet, and a photograph of a rare Alaskan caribou. Nothing - and no one - would stop her. Not even the sexiest man in Alaska. One look at rugged game warden Joe Peterson made Wendy's temperature rise. But the stoic Joe wasn't about to let the sassy city slicker wreak havoc with his game preserve or his libido. She was leaving ASAP.
But when a rock slide left them stranded in the frozen wilderness, Joe and Wendy had no choice but to hike their way to civilization together. Could they find a way to safety before attraction gave way to temptation?

I enjoyed Northern Exposure, the setting was really good.
Joe works as game warden for Fish and Wildlife Protection. He's been keeping himself all secluded ever since his little sister died, who he raised. He feels guilty for not saving her. She went to New York to be a fashion model and over-dosed.
He finds someone, and thinking it's a poacher pulls his gun, that person turns out to be Wendy.
She tells him she is a wildlife photographer and he doesn't believe her and tells her to make her wasy to his cabin since it is late and he has no intention of going to her car to see her ID. Wendy, is actually not a wildlife photographer she was fashion photographer, until her life unraveled a month back and she found herself in tabloids with stories about drug use and wild sex.
She doesn't like Joe and calls him names, she especially disliked him trying to take charge. She is turning over a new leaf, for years she allowed her mentor and boss to dictate her life and because of him she ended in the soup. So, now she is trying to re-build a new life and needs no macho man to tell her if it's dangerous or what not.
Joe once he realizes who she is through the tabloids is icy to her and the next day she leaves. When his colleague calls him telling him where she is headed he goes all hot-headed to give her a dose on the dangers of it but finds that she has stamina and is more than capable of taking care of herself. Then there is also the matter of a man he has been seeing and his tracks. Joe tells her he will accompany her and for her to follow his rules, Wendy is well sarcastic to say the least.
Honestly, I enjoyed the book, Wendy was totally take-charge and capable even if she had made mistakes. Joe on the other hand liked taking care of people.
They both talk and confess their past and mistakes and even though there is chemistry between them, Wendy doesn't want to act on it, she is finding herself and has no place for a man who tells her what to do, though she does come to see that he is nothing like her ex-boss.
I enjoyed the book though the last scenes read like some movie scene to me, barely missing each other. It is Joe who realizes at first that he loves her and guess what they had barely kissed till then. I also liked how Joe finally let go of the past and came to the conclusion that he was not his sister's keeper.
The premise was good, them hiking around in not the most friendliest terrains.
Rating 3.5

Enjoyable while it lasted but I will probably forget everything about it within the month…not bad, but extremely average. Genre: contemporary romantic suspense. Tropes: forced proximity with a dash of enemies to lovers.
Wildlife photographer meets game warden in the Alaskan wilderness, then circumstances force them into a rugged backcountry hike with a mysterious bad guy tracking them down. H and h both likable enough but a bit slow on the uptake. Luckily the bad guy was pretty dumb as well.
I liked the setting. The rest was not really my thing but I would read another book by this author if I happened upon it.
