Reckless Fortune by M.M.Crane

 

💖💖💖💖💖

I loved Autumn and Bowie’s amazing opposites attract romance, forced proximity reality TV, in Reckless Fortune by M.M. Crane, book two in her Fortunes of Lost Lake series.  This story had lost within their stories, and not able to put this book down, as I drank in each page. This quirky, funny, snarky, steamy, and totally enjoyable tale, takes the reader on a journey to an off-the-grid, small town in the middle of Alaska; a town that makes you feel as if you are family.

 

As an ex-marine and now bush pilot, Bowie Fortune is an adrenaline junkie. He has never turned down a dare, and when his sister, Piper, challenges Bowie to join a promotion for Alaskan Tourism where a fake mail-order-bride would come to their tiny hamlet of Lost Lake, he accepts against his better judgment. Bowie is a love them and leave them guy but one look at Autumn McCall, his “wife” for the next three months; he knows his life will never be the same. Autumn is determined to win the contest, as she needs the money to pay off some family debts. She grew up on a Montana ranch, a caring person who took charge of her younger sisters and father after the death of her mother, since she was fourteen; neglecting herself.  Autumn travels to Lost Lake, to immerse herself in the pioneer lifestyle; but what she finds is a group of people, who treat her like family, as she discovers how much she is enjoying this small town. As Autumn and Bowie get to know one another under the pressure and forced proximity of living together in Brady’s home, they each take the time to assess where their lives are going.


What follows is a wonderful delightful adventure, with Bowie taking Autumn to different sights, and when a fun camping trip into the heart of the Alaskan wilderness goes wrong, they become stranded. Bowie knows they are in danger, as once summer is over, the snow and cold will come; making him wonder if they will have a future together considering their magnetic attraction, let alone the chemistry sizzling and sparking off them.

 

Ms. Crane wrote an intense, emotional and love story rich with sizzling chemistry, magnetic attraction, wonderful dialogue, and a rugged community of characters along with vivid descriptions of the intense weather and beauty of Alaska. This story grabbed me and did not let go until I reached the end.  I highly recommend Reckless Fortune to other readers and look forward to the next book in this series.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
