I'm so glad I picked this book up at the library. It's my first book by Fox and I wasn't disappointed. I was torn between 3 and 4 stars. Again wishing for the half star. This is probably closer to a 3 1/2 star, but is getting the round up since I loved the women in this book. They are strong, witty, and loyal.
Sloane was a great lead. She didn't take any crap and was ready to fight for her friend and once the romance picked up herself. She didn't let anyone walk all over her More...

My Review:
This isn't a holiday book per se, but it does take place in snowy Alaska during the holiday season, so I snuck it into my holiday read pile. This book was a really good contemporary romance. It is the first book in a trilogy and you get to see glimpses and see the beginnings of all three romances that the series is going to follow. This book is about Sloan & Walker.

This is a pretty cute little romance set in the snowy town of Indigo in Alaska. Sloan is a very middle class New Yorker who, much to the horror of her mother, is over 30 and as yet unwed.
Her friend Grier has gone to Indigo to resolve an inheritance issue with the Father she never knew and calls on Sloan to come and visit her. Sloan agrees and her and Grier befriend Avery who works in the local hotel/bar. These 3 girls will feature as the heroines of the 3 novels (so far) of the Al More...

I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this contemporary romance from Addison Fox. The premise, which is that a trio of Alaska grandmothers hold a yearly competition where bachelorettes compete for the honor of dating their grandsons, could have been too twee for words. But it was just a hook for what turned out to be a fun, and pitch perfect tale about friendship (both male and female), family, and falling in love. There were several relationships threaded throughout the story and I worried th

This is a well written start to the Alaskan trilogy, albeit a trite and somewhat over written/done idea. Unfortunately there is so much going on and with so many couples that the author at times, shortchanges Sloan and Walker. Their story took short shrift and I found that to be annoying as well as distracting from what a trilogy could have been.
I read a lot about Alaska and was thrilled to see a romance centered there, yet the nature of the area barely played into the sto More...

Here's a new author-to-me and I was impressed. I saw a review on this, it grabbed my attention, and with one-click, it was mine! Another series set in a small town but a little different because of the Alaskan setting. The characters are what made this one a hit with me. If you're looking for something fun, light and romantic, I recommend it. I particularly enjoyed the big splash of sizzling heat -- maybe it has something to do with the change in the weather, or maybe something else entirely!!

Way to go, Addison Fox! This debut of the Indigo, Alaska series is a refreshing, fun, youthful read that will appeal to the Nora Roberts fans out there. The characters are all likable and their continuing stories will be welcomed as the series moves forward. On a cross country plane ride, I finished the book in one sitting and wish the next one was available for the trip home. I've already given this book to 3 friends and the reviews were equally as glowing. With this new series and the Warrior

I really enjoyed this story - I just wish that it would have followed up with each of the three couples and not make us wait for the next book to finish telling their stories. I'm guessing that the author's intent is to spin off a new book for each of the couples - but I enjoyed the story so much, I didn't want to wait to read about the conclusions of the other couples. I felt as if I were kept hanging. I would still recommend it, though.

I've realized that with romances, I'm all about setting and the women characters. This book takes place in Alaska (in winter!), and involves some great (though fantastical) women relationships. So I loved it. The story isn't great and the romance is too easy, but it has great dialogue and intriguing characters. There are clearly going to be more books around the other characters and I will read those, too.

I liked the premise of this book, (and I love the song that it's titled after) so I was really primed to like this book, but after more than a third (38% to be a nerd about it), it's just not grabbing my interest. There are way too many stories being established, and some of them seem like obvious sequel bait. No individual character is getting enough development to be intriguing. I give up.

I enjoyed this story but at times felt that to many of the characters had story lines going. Of course the upside to that is that I'm looking forward to the next one. Even though this story starts after Thanksgiving and goes into the Christmas season, but it doesn't focus on Christmas. A enjoyable story.

What a fun book to read! Great fluff and relaxation but a fabulous story as well, set in a place I hope to see someday :) While reading, I kept getting flashes of a Nora trilogy, all rolled into one. I'll definitely be reading the next in this series!

This is the first in a new romance series by Addison Fox. It was a quick and delightful read. The characters were interesting enough to keep you riveted. There are definite parallels to a "sex and the city" aesthetic. But this is not a bad thing :)

This was surprisingly good for a little fluff novel. I want to read the others in the series. There's a strong female lead who isn't a whilting flower as well as good female friends and meddling grandmothers :). Nice to have a novel of this kind that doesn't have the main couple banging in the first 30 pages.
