Klondike Doctor by Kate Bridges
Hadn’t she defied upper-class conventions to become a doctor? And now a troubling secret would send her north in search of answers and adventure with the exasperating Colt Hunter. Everything he said made her blood boil…yet everything he was made her heart race!
Mountie Sergeant Colt Hunter had sworn to protect, and he’d never met a woman more in need of protection than the headstrong doctor. Why couldn’t she understand that the untamed wilderness of the Yukon was no fit place for a genteel lady? Together they traveled a dangerous road where duty warred with passion, and even Colt couldn’t foresee which would win out….
If you are wondering what in the heck the title of this book means (that could have just been me) it comes from the setting. Kate Bridges takes us back to the Klondike Gold Rush.
The author recently visited the Yukon Territory in Canada, and Alaska to do research for the book and has pictures up at her website. I am wondering if it will be books since it is a “a troop of six Mounties”. Hey I can hope! Harlequin Historical is one of the few publisher (although I have my fingers crossed Berkley is gonna catch up) offering us a western setting.
Kate is the only author I can think of offering us a setting in Canada. She is some what hit or miss for me but I soooo want this to be grand.
I just read this! My favorite romance of the year, so far.
I just recently read this too. I rated it a b/Hot. I found the level of sensuality surprising since this is a Harlequin Historical. I liked the characters and thought it had an interesting plot.
