The town of Love, Alaska, is experiencing a shortage of women. The town's elderly mayor, Jasper Prescott, has a story run on his town in which he proposes "Operation Love" inviting single women to come to Love to find just that...love. Journalist and New York City girl, Grace Corbett, sees this as her big break and heads to the small Alaskan town to write a feature on Operation Love. She plans on staying for six weeks acting as if she is there to find love, not letting anyone know her true motives for being there. Little does she expect to fall for the mayor's grandson, Sheriff Boone Prescott. She also finds that the charming village and its occupants have worked their way into her heart, as well.

This was such a wonderful book! The characters were absolutely lovable, secondary cast included. It was fun to see city girl Grace, who was clearly out of her element in Love, eventually find that she felt more at home and accepted in this small town than she ever had anywhere else before. Boone was the perfect hero for her. I loved Boone's grandfather, Jasper, who was in his seventies, and was still enjoying his life to the fullest and loved to go on adventures. The Alaskan scenery was beautiful and provided a lovely backdrop to the story--the snow, the mountains, the Northern Lights, the wilderness, the ice-skating. I hope that there will be many more books set in Love, Alaska. ( )
