ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: Right Here Waiting
Series: Deep Haven Collection #6
Author: Michelle Sass Aleckson presented by Susan May Warren
Publisher: Sunrise Publishing
Release Date: November 9, 2021
Genre: Christian Contemporary Romance

She doesn’t belong in his world—but she’s determined to try.

Sled dog musher and outdoor adventurer Nick Dahlquist doesn’t mean to be a loner—he just feels at home in the woods, with his dogs, and online in his vlogging world, where he’s amassed nearly a million viewers. But he’s just a simple guy, with simple goals—care for his dogs, teach people how to survive the cold, and run the Iditarod. Unfortunately, life turns cold when his lead dog is injured, and he’s low on funds. Good thing he has LadyJHawk to chat with. She’s become an online friend he can turn to, and he’s starting to need her more than he’d like to admit. But the last thing he wants is for some random woman to show up on his doorstep… 

Chopper pilot and Texas gal Jae Lynn Washington has been following Nick’s DogQuest videos and Get Lost in the Woods vlogs since she inherited her deceased boyfriend’s military working dog. Three years later, his online friendship has made her wonder if he could be more than a friend. What if she moved to Deep Haven? Would that be considered stalking, even if she got a bonafide job on the Crisis Response Team? 

When Jae shows up in Deep Haven—and on Nick’s doorstep—he’s not at all the man she met online. And when Nick is tapped to train the team, he’s pretty sure petite, summer-loving Jae won’t last a moment in the brutal cold—a fear he pours out to LadyJHawk. As their training takes a personal turn, their chilly start begins to thaw. But what will happen if he discovers that Jae and LadyJHawk are one and the same? 

When a blizzard strikes, and the CRT is called out into the storm, more than just their relationship is at risk… 

Cozy up to this delightful twist on You’ve Got Mail set in the snowy escape of Deep Haven.

My Review 🖤

I have truly enjoyed the Deep Haven series thus far, so I was a little surprised that the beginning of Right Here Waiting was lackluster to me, but when Jae and Nick meet for the first time, in the most disastrous way possible, I was hooked.  It is because of this first meeting that I wasn’t too fond of Nick’s character, but he did redeem himself as the novel went on, and I was able to see his heart and motivations.  Jae I instantly adored, though I will say she is stubborn to a fault, and it’s her stubbornness that really gets her into trouble.

Nick and Jae are two flawed individuals who’s eyes are opened to the truth that’s been there all along, but it takes tough times, and rough circumstances for them to see it for themselves.  Sometimes that’s what it takes for all of us, a good, long look in the mirror when life gets tough.

Right Here Waiting has a wonderful pace, with the exception of the beginning being a little on the slow side for me, but the middle and ending more than make up for that small detail.  The writing is on point, and the imagery truly puts you into the middle of the action.  Seeing Nick and Jae together is so heartwarming, which is why the main conflict was hard for me to deal with at times.  I wanted nothing but the best for these characters, and truly craved that happy ending!

I adore this series so much!  The overwhelming love of community, family, and each other in Deep Haven resonates so strongly with me that it makes me want to pack my bags and brave the icy tundra that is Minnesota myself!  We need more towns and more people like this in real life!  People who would do whatever it takes to help someone in need or to boost someone into realizing a lifelong dream.  So utterly heartwarming and the perfect escape from reality.

My Rating: ★★★★★
