Sarah and Andrew's father passed away in the north while digging for gold. In order to pay off the financial debt he left them with, Sarah and Andrew prepare themselves for the cold and wintry Yukon.  Sarah will have to leave her fiance behind but a new guy, Nicholas, quickly has only eyes for her.  When an incident leaves Sarah and Nicholas alone to make fortune things get hot and heavy between the two.  Nicholas doesn't know about Sarah's fiance waiting for her in Boston and Sarah doesn't know about the secret Nicholas' been keeping about her father's death. Between the search for gold and trying to resist one another, will Sarah and Nicholas be able to survive the cold wilderness?
 
From the beginning I loved Sarah. She's not your typical heroine in historical fiction. She's strong and independent. The great white north doesn't scare her (I wouldn't be scared either if I had a handsome and adventurous guy like Nicholas by my side to protect me). They try really hard to ignore their feelings for one another but when the two get together things get pretty steamy!
 
Klondike Winter is filled with romance and adventure from the beginning to the end. When I thought things were going to work out between the two something unexpected came up. Right until the end the book has a few twists and turns that kept me guessing. It has to be one of the best historical romance I've read this year. No one writes romance like Jackie M. Smith does! Klondike Winter is a must-read. I can guarantee this sizzling historical romance won't disappoint.

5 out of 5 stars!!
