Posted: July 21, 2013

’Tis the season for romance, second chances, and Christmas cheer with this new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber.

Carrie Slayton, a big-city society-page columnist, longs to write more serious news stories. So her editor hands her a challenge: She can cover any topic she wants, but only if she first scores the paper an interview with Finn Dalton, the notoriously reclusive author.

Living in the remote Alaskan wilderness, Finn has written a mega bestselling memoir about surviving in the wild. But he stubbornly declines to speak to anyone in the press, and no one even knows exactly where he lives.

Digging deep into Finn’s past, Carrie develops a theory on his whereabouts. It is the holidays, but her career is at stake, so she forsakes her family celebrations and flies out to snowy Alaska. When she finally finds Finn, she discovers a man both more charismatic and more stubborn than she even expected. And soon she is torn between pursuing the story of a lifetime and following her heart.

Filled with all the comforts and joys of Christmastime, Starry Night is a delightful novel of finding happiness in the most surprising places

MY REVIEW:

I have to say I loved the Midnight Sons series to begin with so when this said it had Sawyer one of the mountain men in this, not even for a minute did I wait it was good for me. Sawyer is a friend of Finn, who is an author who does not want to be none to the public. He just wants his message to be out about how cool it is to be outdoors again for kids and adults alike. Especially Alaska where he lives, because when he was a kid he was outdoors all the time. Now kids are indoors all the time on computers and game boxes or watching TV. So this was his way of telling them his stories of when he was a kid and giving them useful lifesaving skills on top of it. One day Carrie, who is a journalist on the society page for the Chicago Sun-Times, standing at another event all dressed up and thinking to herself this is it tomorrow is the big day. Can you guess what that big day was? She was putting in her notice to resign, because after two years she had not advanced like she had been told she would be, to a writer with meatier pieces. The next morning comes and before she knows it she was given the challenge to try and get a story with guess who? You got it, Mr. Alaska himself. One small problem, her boss tells her that no one has seen a picture of him, knows any info on him, or where in Alaska he lives or where he come from. So, maybe that is more than one thing. See, what a problem, EEK! She is determined to do it and goes for it and is on the hunt and finds his estranged mother and she gives him something to give to her son when she finds him and to let Sawyer know she is for real. So, now she has an in if she can get Sawyer to believer her. This is where you the reader comes in because I leave you hanging now...because you have to read this book. I enjoyed it. It is was a total Debbie Macomber fun story. It is an e-book so about 140+ pages PROVIDED BY NETGALLEY
