A great finish to the Heart of Alaska series, I’m sad to see the series end! I would definitely be on team Porter, because dogs are better than cats. Clearly the cover of the book agrees with me!

Second chance romance isn’t usually one I gravitate towards, but it’s done really well in this one. I liked it a lot!

Sweet & steamy! All my favs from the Hearts of Alaska series are here. She's practical. He's a hero. They're on opposite sides of a centuries long feud. What could possibly go wrong? And can we talk about a FIREFIGHTER with PUPPIES? I'm dead.

Return to Helen, Alaska--home to picturesque scenery, a whole bunch of fluffy huskies.... and the feud that fuels the town.

Nate Porter left Helen shortly after high school and hasn't looked back. His job as a firefighter for the Forest Service keeps him busy, but the call to adventure wasn't what drove him away from town: it was the fact that he couldn't stay in Helen knowing that the feud makes it impossible to be with the woman he loves: Lydia Lipin.

Lydia Lipin is the good girl, the good Lipin daughter. She runs the family business, she plays peacekeeper between the demanding and critical matriarch and her younger sister--who is marrying a Porter despite, well, everything--her love life is nonexistent despite (or, rather, because of) her grandmother's meddling and heckling, and she has resigned herself to this fate. That is, until Nate Porter comes back to town...

Lydia and Nate shared one, beautiful, glorious summer together--young and in love. But they both knew it could not last. Now, older, the two find each other again and feelings reemerge. But will they pick duty to family ties, or choose to follow their hearts?

The third of Martin's "Heart of Alaska" books does not disappoint! Full of heat, drama, and fluff--both the romantic kind and the husky puppy kind--"Love and Let Bark" is a phenomenal continuation of the story of Helen, Alaska and the Porter-Lipin Feud... and the children of the feud who continue to find love despite it.

This is the continuation of the Porter-Lipin feuding family romance books. Lydia’s sister is already defying the family feud and marrying a Porter. Lydia is the one who has to sacrifice everything to make it happen. She stays and worlds the family hotel. She covers for her sister. She tries to keep the tempers at bay, so this can be a celebration instead of a battlefield. When her rich ex-love interest comes back to town, Lydia thinks maybe things could get interesting. When the sparks aren’t there, things get interesting when her Porter love from high school unexpextesly returns as well. He is a Porter and they always had to hide their crush/ friendship when they were younger. Nate is everywhere and maybe she. Needs to put herself first and live a little for herself this time,

This second chance romance proves that love can win over even the most difficult of obstacles...

Why has Nate Porter returned home to Helen, Alaska after a successful career with the Forest Service as a firefighter? When Nate was a teen he was closer to Lydia Lipin than anyone else. However, a century old feud forced them to keep their friendship a secret. Could the fact that Lydia has now found someone else be enough incentive for Nate to head home and to defy both families by letting his deep feelings for Lydia known?

As far as Lydia is concerned, she spent her entire life doing the right thing, and that included pushing strong feelings for Nate as far back as possible. When Nate comes home Lydia soon realizes that those long ago feelings are more powerful than ever. Will Lydia stand on her own and defy her parents and everyone else that is trying to keep the feud going and seek her heart's goal - love with Nate?

Love and Let Bark is the third book in the delightful Hearts of Alaska series. The first two titles are Heart on a Leash and Paws and Prejudice. Whether it is the gorgeous huskies that grace the covers of each book, or the warm love stories contained within, this is a wonderful series that warmed my heart.

Many thanks to Berkley and to NetGalley for this ARC for review/ This is my honest opinion.
