HUNT by Stephanie Rowe is a contemporary adult, stand alone novella in the author’s ALASKA HEAT series. This is former Black Ops senior Haas Carter, and his high school sweetheart Jane Callaway’s story line. HUNT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary.
Told from third person perspective (Haas Carter) HUNT follows Haas Carter as he travels the wilderness of Alaska only to come across a truck speeding violently out of control. Much to his shock, his high school sweetheart Jane Callaway will jump from the vehicle, in an effort to escape her step-sons, adult men determined to take back everything their father left to our story line heroine. What ensues is the quick rebuilding relationship between Haas and Jane as our couple fight to survive in the freezing wilderness.
HUNT is a quick read; a short story wherein Haas Carter, widower and friend to all of the previous story line couples, gets his own happily ever after. The action packed premise is fast paced; the romance is sweet ; the characters are energetic and relatable.

Short cut
I admit this Is the only Alaska Heat book I’ve read. I love Stephanie’s paranormal books, so I thought I’d give this one a try since the characters are around my age, and I was curious how she would imagine romance would play out in a generation she has no personal experience with. Basically she just avoided it. The story line and action would have been more believable for characters a decade or two younger unless they were supernatural. The characters hadn’t seen each other n 60 years and instantly are kissing each other, and within days are hoping into bed? Thankfully she spared us the sexual details.

I’ve really been enjoying this series. All of the characters are great, but Haas is special. He’s someone that can always be trusted to step up and help when you need him. He’s someone you always want in your corner, and now he gets his own story! Reunited with his high school sweetheart, Jane, Haas comes through in her our of need. The timing in his life couldn’t be better because he’s already started building a family with everyone else in the series. They’re like children to him, and Hunt lets him add someone to that family he’s building with someone to come home to.

This is a the story of Hass we met him in the other Alaska Heat books an older man who is happy with his life being a good friend to the people of Twin Forks on his way home from dinner with friends he finds a women fleeing for her life from a truck he is even more shocked to find that it is Jane his one true love who he hasn't seen in 60 years he realises his feeling are still the same, this is a sweet short story that all fans of the Alaska series have wanted for Hass to find love and a must read
July 27, 2020
With Hunt, Rowe gives fans a HEA for a really great secondary character in her Alaska Heat series. Having an older couple fighting for their lives and finding love again made for an exhilarating read. Haas is a badass and I totally want to be like Jane at that age. Heck at my age now! It's rare that you find a romance that features people over 60 or that treats them as vital and active. Sweet, exciting and sexy, my only complaint is that it was not a full length book.
July 27, 2020
I was so thrilled to be given the opportunity to review an ARC copy of Hunt. Haas is my favorite character from other books in the series. I have wanted to read his story and this love story with Jane is wonderful. On the edge excitement plus the romance is just so awesome. Being an older woman myself, I may have to read this often for inspiration. It is a wonderful edition to the entire series which if you have not read you must!!!! If you have read them then adding Hunt is a must!!!

Dependable and a good friend in his community, Haas Carter (aka Silver Fox) finally gets his story. Although a quick read, this novella is full of suspense from the beginning. Haas can't believe he is seeing his long ago childhood girlfriend but he will do anything to keep her safe. As the story unravels, you feel the love each had for the other and a possible new hope for the future. Although this is a short story and for an older person who will not be disappointed.

Haas takes his second chance with Jane, a woman he went out with in high school! Fate has a play in this story and its sets everything up beautifully. It's a short read, and I'm glad to have gotten more background on Haas as he was in the Alaska Heat Series. Loved this snippet of his life and had a smile when I finished it. Never too late for love.

Haas is a total silver-haired badass! He may be greyer than your average hero but he still gets the job done. After seeing his basement in Burn I knew that he had a story just waiting to be told!
Twists, turns, lost love, lovers reunited (admittedly a bit creakier now) and a great story to boot. The characters have a great repartee and banter back and forth. A great little gem and a perfect lunch hour filler!

You have to love Haas if you love the Alaska Heat series. Haas is everyones favorite in my opinion so it was really nice to see a book about him but I would have loved to see a novel instead of a novella but hey I will take him anyway I can get him. I read all 5 in a week so they are fast reads and really keep you intrigued and ingrossed in the story. Thank you Stephanie for Haas' story.
July 27, 2020
This was a short, but sweet novella. I loved that the main characters were in their 60’s. It was a great change of pace. Haas followed his instincts one night and came across some danger. Imagine his surprise when he recognizes who’s in danger.

After reading Burn I was hoping Haas would get his story and was thrilled that he did!! It's a fast read but well worth it. There's suspense and you get some more of his past, of course with it showing it up in his neck of the woods. My only thing would be that I wish it was longer but I bet we see more of them in future books...at least my fingers are crossed that we do.
July 27, 2020
This novella starts right off at the end of Burn. Haas is one heck of a guy. You start to fall in love with him in Burn and his actions make you fall further with this book. He reconnects with his first love when he saves her after she is kidnapped. This glimpse into his past and the ending in this story gives the reader a happy little sigh that Haas can have his HEA too.
July 28, 2020
I am so happy that I got to read Haas Carters story. The characters are well developed and engaging and the chemistry is undeniable throughout the pages. Jane is running from her nasty stepsons and while running away she gets stranded. This second chance romance offers plenty of action and suspense till the end.

So happy to see Haas get his own happily ever after. This story proves that you are never too old to find love. There was a great suspense plot mixed in with a sweet story of finding his first love again. I loved that they both still felt the same after so many years. This was a wonderful addition to the Alaska Heat series.
August 11, 2020
This is a very good, action-packed, fast-paced short with older main characters, and danger. While our hero and heroine are elderly, they are not helpless, nor are they too soft. Once sweethearts back in school, gone their own ways and reunited under extraordinary circumstances, the chemistry again takes hold, could there be a HEA? I voluntarily read an ARC and this is my honest review.

If you are a fan of the Alaska Heat Series, you have already met and fallen in love with the tough as nail bush pilot Haas Carter. If you haven’t read any of the previous books that’s ok too as this short novella reads well as a stand-alone story. This tale picks up right after the previous book, Burn, ends and finds Haas driving home on a dark road in Alaska. Listening to his inner voice he finds himself on a new adventure full of second chances written as only Stephanie Rowe can. The drama and suspense are generously sprinkled with dashes of humour and suspense. A quick read you won’t want to put down!
July 26, 2020
Omg! I love Haas even that much more! Its a great story. Sometimes you have to go to the past to find love again! It's awesome to see Haas get his love back. Jane the high school sweetheart crashes back into his life and it takes off from there.
July 27, 2020
I loved the Story Of Haas in Hunt.It was endearing and gives you faith in the signs of the universe.Was wonderful to see him get his forever after all the years alone.This is a MUST read.If you have loved the Alaska Heat series you will love this one as well....

Short, but jam packed with excitement and drama! Just as good as the other full length books in this series, it takes a great author to draw you in so early and completely in such a short book. I loved it.
