Summary: I LIKE ALASKA BUT ----
Review: Can there be such a rating as a 4 minus.
I enjoyed the story and I liked the characters of Brian Kennedy [loved the cover - need more blondes] and Malinche Adams.I was holding my breath when they found themselves on the ice floe but tell me, do they have to have sex to fall in love when they express fear of commitment?? I don't understand this. Villian was almost powerful enough and I was glad to find out the reasons behind Dimitre's death but eventually I was left with a feeling of incompleteness?? disatisfaction? something left out? Ah well, I am glad I read the story anyway. Form your own opinion as that is the only true test of a story.

Summary: A Time and Money Waster
Review: Did anyone actually read this book before they published it? The plot seems solid: Malinche Adams travels to Alaska to investigate the death of the brother she'd never known. She turns to the man who found the body, Brian Kennedy, and of course, they soon find their lives in danger, with no one to turn to but each other. The execution could have used some work, however. How many times could Malinche and Brian repeat the same arguments over and over? Brian doesn't want to get involved with Malinche, because he "knows what rich girls like her were like." 200 pages of that argument grew old real fast. And if Malinche bemoaned how she never fit in just one more time... I really have to wonder if anyone edited this book, because the repetition that goes on to drag the book out of 250 pages is ridiculous. I couldn't believe one glaring example: On page 61, Malinche says to someone about her brother, "You must have known him very well." The man replies, "As well as anyone, I guess." On page 62--THE VERY NEXT PAGE!--Malinche asks the exact same man, "Did you know him well?" The man answers, (surprise, surprise) "As well as anyone, I guess." Don't you think, if we're shelling out hard-earned money for a book, the author and editor could at least attempt to make it look well-written? There are a few positive points: there are some good action sequences where the heroes have to get themselves out of a jam with sheer resourcefulness, and the revelation of the killer (and motivation) was pretty good. Cunningham also fills the book with a lot of interesting details. She obviously did her research. Too bad she didn't spend some of that time honing her writing on this one.

Summary: Romantic Times Review
Review: Harlequin Intrigue #492 Under the Midnight Sun Marilyn Cunningham 11/98 STORYLINE:A geologist working in Alaska was shocked at finding a frozen body while alone in the tundra, but figured once he turned it over to the authorities, life would return to normal. What he didn't figure on was the beautiful young woman who claimed the body he'd found was her brother, and asked for his help at finding the truth. Marilyn Cunningham does an admirable job bringing readers into the story in UNDER THE MIDNIGHT SUN.
