Summary: Storyline
Review: Gentlehearted Marta Jensen had come to the Alaskan wilderness to find herself, not to get involved with a bachelor dad in way over his head. So why had she agreed to care for Ike LeBlanc's orphaned niece? Because Marta couldn't refuse to help a man in need, despite her jaded heart's inclination to resist a man in demand. Now she was powerless against a man who unleashed the passion she'd kept tightly controlled. One who made her dream of having a family come true. But before the baby arrangement ended, could Marta convince this committed bachelor to make his ward's stand-in mom his own full-time wife?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Hades in Alaska?
Review: Marie Ferrarella tells a very good story, especially in a place that few of us know anything about. She made me realize that Alaska is truly a place you must love in order to survive there - even if the book was a romance set in the fictitional place of Hades, Alaska. It made me want to go there.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: SECOND INSTALLMENT OF HADES, ALASKA!
Review: Yup! the second of five stories of Hades, Alaska.
We have Sydney's friend, Marta Jensen coming from Omaha, Nebraska to finally visit Sydney and her new husband, Dr. Shayne Kerrigan.

Thinking the man accompanying Sydney was her husband, Marta enthusiastically greats him with a hug and a kiss. Much to Sydney's delight. Which Ike LeBlanc returns just as happily.

Ike has a silver tongued way of loving women. Which, of course, raises a red flag for Marta. He is too good looking and not to be trusted.

But then sorrow enters Ike's life - he loses his sister but gains a niece. Ike knows women but nothing about babies. Recognizing his sorrow, Marta offers to help Ike learn how to cope with a baby since he burned his hand. Marta maintains her stringent attitude all through the book except she falls into the hormone trap. [Don't they all]

And inadvertently saves the Salty Saloon, for Ike and Luc, when helping on a fire run. She is still determined to leave until ----
An easy read but still a bit of mush -- characterizations very good -- but the women's morals are screwed up.

Ah well - on to the next installment with Luc LeBlanc in FOUND: HIS PERFECT WIFE. Here's hoping.
