This is my first book by this author and the last book this author has written in the Caribou Crossing series. It is the story of Mo Kincaid’s journey back to the place he left his wife and child in hopes of apologizing for his abusive behavior of both of them and also the up and down love story between Mo and Maribeth Scott.

Maribeth is nearing 40, has dated for many years without finding “the one” and feels the need to have children with or without a husband. When she is on the verge of artificial insemination 50 year old Mo walks into her life and instant attraction occurs. Maribeth’s vision for the future may not be Mo’s leaving much for the two of them to work out before they can have a happily ever after. For some reason I did not warm up to the two as a couple and easily see them together. I did like Caruso the New Guinea singing dog and had to look the breed up online to learn more about them. Very interesting wild dogs indeed!

This was a story of change and redemption and family in a small community. Everyone in the story seemed to be related to or know one another very well. There were many people to keep track of along with their relationships to one another that might or might not have been easier to keep track of if one had read previous books of the series.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books for the copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. ( )
