Danger and survival while outsmarting a madman
Trapper: A Fight for Survival in the Alaskan Wilderness by Roland Hulme is an action-packed read that takes these characters full circle in an amazing and wild setting. There is a great deal happening in this action-adventure romance so there really never is a dull moment. The characters are highly engaging, even when they annoy each other. In fact, these interactions are often a bit on the humorous side (especially for the reader!).
I really enjoyed the way the characters are developed along with the plot that includes the relationship. These two are pitted against nature and health concerns which changes the dynamic significantly, but not quickly! Oh, no. Trapper and Layna have no love for one another upon their first meeting and it’s takes multiple close and dangerous calls before a truce of sorts is called. Communication leads to understanding and acceptance of their situation and the daunting tasks ahead. There are risks taken (most often by Layna) that further deepens the care, concern and like into love between Trapper and Layna.
Overall, what starts out as just survival becomes a desperate mission. A mission of not only surviving, but bringing justice to the peaceful and beautiful natural wilderness in Alaska. Once all is said and done, for Layna and Trapper, it’s really just the beginning.
I read an ARC of this book and voluntarily share my review.
