Wind Shadow
Silky is no quitter.... This month-long bicycle trip across summertime Alaska is her chance to get Rex back. Yes, he'd made a mistake, and she'd divorced him for it. But she has no intention of failing at this marriage. Then there is the complication--the cop, Wade. When she met him she'd made a complete idiot of herself, and low and behold here he is, on the same darned vacation. Getting Rex back is her only objective. So why does she keep tumbling into Wade's arms? He's made it clear he isn't looking for anything but casual relationships. She thought she'd made a big enough fool of herself when they met. So just how big a fool will she make of herself with one man--while trying to win back another?

Going on bike rides, getting a job and finishing her education. Now Annie has them going on the Biked Alaska, a four week bike trip across the state.

I found the extreme oafishness of Silky's ex and the extreme perfection of the new guy to be too OTT to be believable. It read very much like a classic Harlequin from the early 1980s, but without the timelessness some of them have to make them still enjoyable. I got tired of rolling my eyes, so I stopped reading it.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the descriptions of the beauty and majesty of the Alaskan wilderness. I loved that the main character is a woman whose husband leaves her for another woman. Then she discovers he is single again. She now has to figure out if the love she once had was real or just a fairy tale she really wanted to believe in. Her working through her thoughts and feelings it what connect the reader to a very real to life experience.
A long bike trip is not where I would imagine romance to bloom but this story works. The characters are believable and funny. The situations each of the characters find themselves in are true to life. Often we think the divorce was the mistake but sometimes the marriage is the mistake.
Buy it and enjoy the ride.

I have been a BIG fan of Renee Roszel since the mid 80's and thought I have read all her books but this one was a surprise. This is the first time to read it for me and I enjoyed it as much as I have any of her others. It's a sweet romance with just a bit of heat to it. I don't think you will be unhappy reading this one. Please check out her other books too. I'm really hoping she will start writing again soon! Hint, hint!
