Description from the publisher:
She longs to uncover her family’s
hidden past. He wants nothing more than to keep his shameful secrets locked
away forever. They didn’t expect to fall in love… especially not with each
other.
Lauren Dalton’s world shattered the
day her father died. Now she’s willing to move four-thousand miles away from
the only home she’s ever known in hopes of discovering the truth about his
hidden past.
Shane Ramsey’s reputation says all
anyone needs to know. He’s an amazing racer, but a terrible person. When an
injury leaves him unable to work his dogs, he must swallow his pride and accept
help for the sake of his team.
Will Shane open his home and his
heart to the young woman who already shares his greatest love? Will Lauren find
her place—and the truth about her family’s past—in helping the cantankerous
Shane?
Harkening to the great literary
traditions of Jane Eyre and Beauty and the
Beast, Let There Be Love is a new twist on the most epic of love
stories. Don’t miss the chance to lose your heart to a courageous team of sled dogs
and the humans that love them in this tale set against the breathtaking
backdrop of the Alaskan wilderness. Order your copy today!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LET THERE BE LOVE is the first book
in the Sled Dog series. Each stands on
their own. In fact, I have read the
second book first.
What a cute way to retell Beauty and
the Beast in modern times. Our beast is
an Alaskan musher who has been injured in training and Beauty is an optimistic
orphan looking for information about her father’s past as a musher!
I loved that this was a clean
romance. I read a lot of racy romance
and love it too, but every once in a while it is refreshing to enjoy the purity
of clean romance. That’s not to say that
there isn’t conflict. Shane is
over-the-top grumpy, and Lauren has to deal with mourning the loss of her
father and the secrets she is uncovering about his past in Alaska.
I loved the slowly building
relationship, friendship, and finally love between Shane and Lauren. I also loved the dogs. It made me giggle when they were referred to
as “husky pucks” when they curled up after the first race.
One key to this book (and the
series) is that the author’s husband was a trainer and musher at one time and
has shared his knowledge with her to add as much realism as possible to her
stories. There is nothing to compare to
ready access to anecdotes and experience.
I’ve already read the second book,
so I’ll be reading the third book next!
I’ll start as soon as I finish writing this up.
Note: while I was given this book as a gifted ARC,
my opinions are my own and are given freely.
