Appraisal:
This story is book four in Ms. Barbour’s Holiday Heartwarmer Series. When a small Cessna has to make a
forced landing during a freak snowstorm in northern Alaska wilderness, Terry Carlton,
the pilot, and Hali Gibson, reluctant passenger, have to go into survival mode.
Hali is on a mission to deliver her cousin’s ten week-old Samoyed
puppy to his new owner in Juneau, Alaska. Having yearned to visit this area of
the country she sees this as the perfect opportunity to spend Christmas closer
to Mother Nature in the far north. After getting bumped off the final leg of
her trip she is able to find passage on a private aircraft into Juneau.
Terry is a confirmed bachelor and an introvert who purposely lives
miles from town to enjoy his privacy. After barely being able to land the plane
on a small frozen lake he must now find a way for them to survive the blizzard.
Will he be able to count on this red-headed woman from the big city to listen to
him and follow his orders? Is this even a challenge he is up to with a raging
infected wound on his arm? He is about to find out.
Frosty
the Snowman is an adorable story that stole my heart. Not only are Hali and Terry
pushed to their limits trying to survive but they have to deal with a bundle of
energy covered in white fur. It doesn’t take too long for Hali to whittle away
Terry’s macho-man attitude with her can do spirit and fortitude. The surprise
twist at the end was priceless and totally caught me off guard. This story will
leave a smile in your heart and on your face.
