Review of "Starry Night" by 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 megabestselling 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."

I absolutely LOVED this book! It is 100% pure romance. I loved Carrie and what she willing to do for true love. I never disliked Finn even though I thought he was a teeny bit stubborn. But he's willing to do what he has to do for true love as well.

There are some minor characters in here like Carrie's co-worker, Sophie and Carries mother. Finn's mother appears in this book as well. But this story is dead centered on Carrie and Finn. Every time one of their hearts fluttered, my heart fluttered with them. I rooted for both Carrie and Finn the entire time and I could not put this book down. In fact, I read it in a couple of hours. I was entranced.

I'm currently working my way through Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove series but it was nice to take one of her stand-alone books and just enjoy it knowing this was going to just be a good romance with a happy ending. It was sweet, it was lovely and it was most definitely romantic. I wish there was a sequel just so I could read more about Carrie and Finn.

It's a great Christmas book. Definitely a book to get one into the Christmas spirit!
