Blurb:
Brielle Ives prefers dogs to people, and who could blame her? Her sled dogs are loyal to a fault, trust her implicitly, and couldn’t care less about the scars that mar her face. The only human who’s never disappointed her is her mentor, Dr. William Hunter. When his plane goes missing in the remote Alaskan wilderness, Bree will do anything to find him . . . even if it means turning to a frustrating, irresponsible, and too-sexy-for-his-own-good California boy for help.
When Ellis Hunter enlisted in the Army at eighteen, he put Alaska—and his womanizing drunk of a father—in his rearview mirror. He promised himself he’d never return, but even he can’t resist Bree’s panicked plea for help. If she’s hell-bent on trekking into the bush to find his father, then he's determined to go with her. But Ellis isn’t the only one shadowing Bree’s rescue attempt…
When the search for answers leaves Ellis and Bree trapped together in the wilds of Alaska, they’ll have to put aside their differences—and an attraction hot enough to melt glaciers—to survive the elements. Because someone dangerous lurks in that icy wilderness—a killer desperate to keep Dr. William Hunter's secrets buried deep in the snow.

My review:
Northern Escape is the first book in the new and exciting Northern Rescue series. This author has become one of my favorites and this book reinforced why. The plot was packed with intrigue, twists, danger, humor, family complications, and emotions. The characters were easy to relate to and the dogs were delightful. The author’s wonderful details of each dog’s characteristics and their unique personalities brought them to life.
Brielle “Bree” Ives had moved to Alaska to get away from people and their hurtful comments of her scars. She loved the life she had built there and her dogs. Her mentor Dr. William “Dr. Will” Hunter was the only person who had helped her when she needed it. Now he has disappeared, and she knows he is in danger but no one will believe her.
Ellis Hunter had left Alaska and his family when he turned eighteen. He never wanted to return to Alaska, but he could not let Bree endanger herself looking for his father, Dr. Will. Ellis and his brothers had given up on their father and his dissolute lifestyle. Can they uncover Dr. Wills secrets before a dangerous enemy stops them?
I was captivated by the book from the beginning and was on the edge of my chair from all the intrigue. The ending was surprising, and I was glad to see the brother’s relationship improve. It was not perfect, but they were able to come together and save Bree. The book leads us into the next one which is Nate’s story, and I cannot wait for it to be available. It sounds like it will be just as wonderful and full of more intrigue.
