Kaylin and Ethan had a passionate but casual relationship until she ended things to protect her heart. After being passed over for a promotion, Kaylin takes a cruise to Alaska—only to be surprised when Ethan joins her, hoping for a second chance.

Forced to share a suite and spend time together, they end up stranded in a small town, where a pretend wedding turns out to be real. Though they plan to divorce, their feelings grow, but career conflicts drive them apart. In the end, they realize their love is worth fighting for, leading to a heartfelt reunion and a sweet surprise.

Good second chance story. Kaylin and Ethan met when her sister married his brother. The sparks between them were instant and intense, and they had a good time giving in to them. Neither is interested in anything permanent. Ethan isn't ready to give up his bachelor ways, and Kaylin's childhood left her determined not to depend on anyone other than herself. But when Kaylin realized Ethan occupied her thoughts more than she liked, she broke things off to protect her heart.

Back on the cruise ship where she works as an assistant manager, Kaylin learns that she was passed over for the promotion she wanted. Disappointed, she takes a well-deserved vacation, a cruise to Alaska. Meanwhile, back in Florida, Ethan hasn't been able to forget his time with Kaylin. When he hears about her disappointment and her cruise plans, he decides to show up on the cruise and see if they can pick up where they left off.

Kaylin is not exactly pleased by Ethan's arrival. She has buried herself in work, trying to drive him from her thoughts. Unexpected circumstances result in them sharing a suite on the ship, and Ethan convinces her to participate in excursions with him. One excursion results in them missing the boat and being stranded in a small town. Matters get complicated when the only available inn requires couples to be married if they share a room. (Okay, that's a bit of a stretch, but it was a cute concept). Unfortunately, the wedding they thought was pretend for appearances was legit. Now what?

Though they plan a quick divorce after the trip, they spend the rest of their time in Alaska playing newlyweds in all ways. After the "honeymoon" ends, they are in no rush to end things. I enjoyed seeing them grow closer and eventually admit their feelings for each other. But Kaylin's insecurities flare up over career decisions. There is trouble in paradise when her needs run into Ethan's pride. I understood Kaylin's decision and wanted to shake Ethan for being so blind. I loved the ending and seeing both realize their mistakes. Their reunion was sweet and emotional, with a nice little surprise.

Family is a big theme in this book. Kaylin and her sister Courtney had an awful childhood, and their bond is undeniable. They have had only one another to depend on for most of their lives. I loved how they supported each other through good and bad times. Ethan's family of seven brothers are also very close. Their interactions are terrific, whether they are teasing each other or providing support.

I enjoyed it and I think you guys will too! Kaylin and Ethan had a past fling that left some feelings unresolved; Kaylin, swore off marriage and any long-term relationships due to past childhood experiences. However, when they both end up on a cruise ship at the same time, one thing leads to another, and they’re forced to share a room will her promises to herself, fly out the window?

I was originally drawn this book due to the title, Alaska is one of my bucket list places I want to visit and fun fact, I am a United States licensed captain! While this book did take me a little bit of time to get through. I did enjoy it and I didn’t realize it was part of the series so I’m interested to see how the rest of the series will pan out.

I had so much fun following their adventures through Alaska where a white water rafting accident led them to missing their cruise, forcing them to get married in order to stay at the only available lodging accommodations. I loved the way that both of their families were so involved in their relationship, not too involved where it was too much, but involved in a loving way.

Preorder your copy and let me know what you think!

This was my first experience with the seven brothers. Nice to see how those with money live. Fun to dream. Sad back story for the sisters which causes trouble for the relationship with the brother. Nice to see how they eventually get to their happily ever after. Thanks to the publisher for providing a copy via NetGalley. My review is voluntary.

I wasn't a huge fan of the second chance between ex's but the Alaskan setting and the accidental marriage part that kept me turning pages because I just had to know what happened.

This is the 2nd book that I have had the opportunity to read by Michelle Lindo-Rice. I enjoyed reading about Ethan and Kaylin second chance at romance. Didn’t really it get or care about the interactions between family members. All in all, I did enjoy the plot.

I received an ARC via NetGalley and Harlequin Special Edition and I am leaving my review voluntarily.

An Alaskan Arrangement is an entertaining romance. I enjoyed the plot and character dynamics. A phony marriage that is actually real can cause a few complications. I recommend this book.

An Alaskan Arrangement was a fun book to read. I enjoyed Kaylin and Ethan's story. A marriage that begins because of an odd Alaskan tradition at an Inn turns into just what Kaylin and Ethan need. I also enjoyed reading the various subplots about Ethan and Kaylin's family members. I highly recommend this book.

Not a horrible book. All of the characters were very unlikable the whole entire time. I didn't completely understand how siblings were marrying siblings and there wasn't some sort of rule, I guess, against it. Overall, it was a tedious book that barely spent half of its time dealing with Alaska and the arrangement that comes from that.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author, and publishers for an ARC of this book!

Although this time it is Ethan chasing Kaylin I admit it seemed more like the behavior of a stalker than a lover, but okay, de gustibus.
I probably would have been more interested in Hawk's story, but I don't think I will continue this series.

Anche se stavolta é Ethan che insegue Kaylin ammetto che mi é sembrato piú il comportamento di uno stalker rispetto a quello di un innamorato, ma ok, de gustibus.
Probabilmente mi sarebbe interessata di piú la storia di Hawk, ma non credo continuerò questa serie.

I received from the Publisher a complimentary digital advanced review copy of the book in exchange for a honest review.
