Alyeska
The Alyeska Ski Resort and Spa near Anchorage, Alaska is known for its beautiful mountains, relaxing environment, and delicious dining, but for Kayleigh Wilson, a trip to the frozen tundra was meant to offer so much more. After a past full of pain, she lived her life based on how little she had to feel, so when her brother offered a weekend trip to the resort where no one even knew her name, she jumped at the opportunity. For Kayleigh, this trip was exactly what she needed to put herself back in the game of dating and romance, but she never planned on meeting a man who could actually alleviate her past and allow her to experience every emotion she had shut off so long ago.
Benjamin Thomas, the man who awakens her heart from hibernation, is full of his own pain, but in his mind, some secrets are better left unshared. As Kayleigh faces her past and confronts Ben’s, she fights to keep herself from falling back into the darkness of unfeeling, but it may be at a price she isn’t willing to pay.

About the author
Lindsay Chamberlin

Why?
Why do authors use real locations of places they are not familiar with when they could just make up a fictional place? The location errors in this book are insanely bad, from not knowing the name of the town where Alyeska is located to not knowing the hotel at all.
This could maybe be forgiven if they writing was worth it, but this book badly needs an editor. In particular the author should look up the definition of martyr, as it clearly doesn’t mean what she thinks it does. The plot is very weak and ridiculous as well as repetitive.
The best I can say is that’s it’s a beautiful cover.

Alyeska, by Lindsay Chamberlin, is a delightful romance, with just the right amount of sizzle between a young couple meeting at a weekend getaway in an amazing setting which all takes place in Alaska. What makes the book even more magical was discovering that "Alyeska"actually is a real place which made me dream about one day seeing this amazing place for myself.
This is a great book to curl up with by the fireplace with a glass of wine and a cozy blanket.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were well thought out and the story moved along at a good pace. It was good how the back stories of the main characters, Ben and Kayleigh, were revealed bit by bit so we got to know them better and appreciate their struggles all the more.
I was fortunate to win this book on Goodreads.

Wonderful book
I enjoyed the characters. I loved how all the pieces of Ben fit together at the end. Also, to back track in the book, loved the relationship growth with brother and sister. It was an interesting and enjoyable book for me to read.

I think the book was very good and I really liked it. I just couldn't put the book down. I also like how everything works out between Ben and Kayleigh.
