This is a good book. The two main characters are Selena and Gus. Selena is an actress and producing a movie, Gus is a sport announcer. Gus losses his job after a mess up on air. Selena loses her starring actor, and must find a replacement. The production company goes to Alaska where Gus has went to hide. Selena asks Gus to costar with her in the movie. He accepts because she said she would get him an interview with another sports reporting company. There is a mutual attraction between them, then they fall in love.

I love the Wild River Novels by Jennifer Snow and Alaska Dreams did not let me down. I was so busy over Christmas that I decided to read this book slowly so I didn't binge it all in one day and then have to wait a year for book 7! I'm glad I savored Gus and Selena's story rather than gobble it up because it had the perfect redemption arc.

Selena was back in Wild River to film a little Indie film. She was the star and her co-star was supposed to be her boyfriend Matt. Until Matt pulled a fast one and refused to honor his contract. Now in Alaska without a boyfriend or a co-star, Selena has less than a day to find someone to play her male lead.

Gus Orosco had lost everything. Not to sound like a country song but he'd lost his girl, his job, and his apartment. When his grandfather fired him from the sports desk after an emotional outburst on-air, Gus had no choice but to lay low somewhere and lick his wounds until someone was ready to revive his broadcasting career.

Then along comes Selena, and a camera crew, to disturb his peace, quiet, and brooding at Orosco Campgrounds. Their 'meet cute' was more than cute, it was wildly inappropriate, on Gus's part, but in his defense, he didn't know anyone was going to be at the campground when he opened the door...naked.

Desperate and willing to do anything to make sure the movie gets filmed, Selena casts Gus in the role of her male lead and the movie commences. It isn't long before their onscreen chemistry overflows into their personal life and things get complicated.

I loved all the new characters in Alaska Dreams, and I was thrilled to get a glimpse into the lives of the characters who came before them. Jennifer Snow is a master at telling a story that will have you laughing one minute, engaged in a sexy bedroom scene the next, and mad as heck the next. You never know what's going to happen in Wild River, Alaska and that's the best part about this series. The sweet novella at the end with Jade and Griffin was an extra-special bonus for the Christmas season. If you haven't read the previous five books in this series, that's okay, you can read Alaska Dreams and not be confused. Ms. Snow does a wonderful job of introducing you to the previous characters and not hinging the new book on the previous ones. If you're looking for a great steamy romance with heart, grab Alaska Dreams and the entire Wild River series today.
