After months of silence from her father in the Klondike, Tava Rutherford finally receives word from him. Only the outdated letter reveals that her father is ill and may be dying. Desperate to discover his fate, Tava resolves to make the journey to the wilds of northwestern Canada. But Jess Lawmen, her ranch foreman and the man who broke her heart, insists she doesn't go alone. Jess intends to keep his promise to look out for her—even if that means traveling thousands of miles with Tava, the woman he claims to feel just friendship for but has never stopped loving.
With their own ragtag group of travelers in tow, Tava and Jess confront one challenge after another as they join the hundreds of stampeders scrambling to reach the goldfields. But as the two of them come face to face with their past hurts and mistakes in their race to reach Tava’s father, they will have to decide whether to cling to safety or risk their hearts for something even greater.

My Review 💜
You can't help falling in love with the characters in this story, the sweetness and good nature abounding, and one can't help but admire their determination to get to the Klondike Trail. Because of the nature of their journey, and the time period the story is set in, there is a touch of suspense, and a few small surprises, but for the most part the story was incredibly tame, leaving me with a feeling of wanting more.
The writing is great, and the scenery picturesque, but despite that I couldn't get past the predictability and lack of more...more drama, more suspense, more tension. Just more... All in all it is a very sweet book that I'm sure many will love, and I wanted so much to love this book, but sadly it fell flat for me.
My Rating: ★★★
