About this listen
When a plane crashes in the Alaskan wilderness, the best place to land is in the arms of a younger man…
Hotshot attorney Reuben Graham has finally agreed to take a vacation, when his plane suddenly plunges into the Alaskan wilderness.
Just his luck.
But his frustrations have only begun as he finds himself stranded with the injured, and superhot, pilot, a man who’s endearingly sociable - and much too young for Reuben to be wanting him this badly.
As the sole provider for his sisters and ailing father, Tobias Kooly is devastated to learn his injuries will prevent him from working or even making it back home. So when Reuben insists on giving him a place to recover, not even Toby’s pride can make him refuse. He’s never been tempted by a silver fox before, but something about Reuben is impossible to resist.
Recuperating in Reuben’s care is the last thing Toby expected, yet the closer they become, the more incredibly right it feels, prompting workaholic Reuben to question the life he’s been living. But when the pressure Toby’s under starts closing in, both men will have to decide if there’s room in their hearts for a love they never saw coming.
One-click with confidence. This title is part of the Carina Press Romance Promise: all the romance you’re looking for with an HEA/HFN. It’s a promise!
Contains mature themes

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 301
Ex-military mountain man Griffin Barrett likes his solitude. It keeps him from falling back into old habits. Bad habits. He’s fought too hard for his sobriety to lose control now. However, his gig as a wildlife guide presents a new kind of temptation in super-hot supermodel River Vale. Nothing the Alaskan wilderness has to offer has ever called to Griffin so badly. That can only lead to trouble....

Mack Garrett loves the rolling hills surrounding his Northern California dude ranch. Leading vacationers on horse trails with his two best friends is enough - romance is definitely not in the cards. When a sexy tourist shows up at Clean Slate, he's as far from Mack's type as can be. So why is the handsome city slicker so far under his skin in less than a day?

After trading the barracks for a fixer-upper rental, navy SEAL Zack Nelson wants peace, not a roommate—especially not Pike, who sees things about Zack he most wants to hide. Pike's flirting puts virgin Zack on edge. And the questions Pike's arrival would spark from Zack's teammates about his own sexuality? Nope. Not going there. But Zack can't refuse. Pike Reynolds knows there won't be a warm welcome in his new home. What can he say? He's an acquired taste. But he needs this chance to get his life together. Also, teasing the uptight SEAL will be hella fun.

I’m a SEAL. Or rather, I was. Retired at the grand old age of 38, I’m at loose ends. My best friend wants me to join his security team. I’m not sure I’m bodyguard material, but he needs someone to protect his kid brother. How hard can spoiled brat duty be? Somehow, I missed the part where former child star Danny Love went from dorky TV darling to all grown up and disturbingly attractive. All the gossip about his wild ways fails to mention that he’s trying hard to clean up his act.

Conor: It starts with a drunken text pic. The kind I would normally never send. Only, instead of it going to the flirty hotel bartender, it goes to some random stranger who actually responds. Wells: The first thing I notice about Conor Newell when he sits down in my high-rise conference room is how delightfully nervous he is. Then I see his tie. The same geeky tie that’s held hostage on my phone. The one that belongs to my anonymous late-night texter. And it changes everything.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 555
When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

Good story, Worth the listening
of this series, this is as almost as good as Arctic Heat, one of my faves. Iggy Toma's voice has grown on me more each chapter. Though both male characters sounded a LOT like the two in Arctic Heat!! I fell in love with Quill and Ruben's sexy tones.
This has been a good ride with Annabeth's stories. Good writer, good characters, good stories. Kudos all around.

Great story line with tasteful wording due to 14yr ILD daughter present.. addresses the complexities of life’s situations .
Very well written and the narrators voices did the story justice. Interesting listen ... shoeing the complexities of life and the communication and emotions that have to be dealt with.

Story4 out of 5 stars
This was a little different from my usual reads
Arctic Wild was a little different from my usual reads and I'm curious as to how many readers can say that. We have all read books with an age difference I'm sure, even some where they outright call the man a silver fox but can you say that you have read one about a silver bear? Or what about religion, I don't think it's mentioned in the majority of books I've read and I honestly can't remember the last time I read a book where the main character was Jewish. So yes this book is a little different because Reuben Graham is both a silver bear and Jewish. ;) He's also a lawyer who works crazy hours, divorced, the father of a teenage daughter that he just doesn't know how to connect with, and about to embark on the trip of a lifetime without his two friends that were supposed to join him.
Tobias, Toby, is a tour guide in the beautiful state of Alaska. He takes care of his ailing father and is raising his two younger sisters. If I said he had a lot on his plate that would be the understatement of the year, but he works hard and is doing everything he can to make sure his sisters finish college and his father is taken care of. His pay helps but his tips help even more so when he finds out that two people of his three person tour has cancelled he's not happy but is committed to make the tour the best one possible so maybe the lone tourist will leave him an even better tip.
What neither Reuben nor Toby expected was the attraction they would feel toward the other, or the way meeting would impact either of their lives.
I enjoyed the slow burn between Reuben and Toby, watching them progress from tour guide/client to friends and then to lovers. I also LOVED a couple of the secondary characters, Reuben's daughter Amelia and Toby's sister Nell, for me these two young ladies added a lot to the story.
I listened to the audiobook version of this book and I have to say that the narrator did a wonderful job with the different characters. I never had to guess who was saying what at any point because each of his different voice inflections were very precise and held true throughout the book.
Arctic Wild is the second book in the Frozen Heart series but can easily be read as a standalone. I would recommend this to any one that is a fan of Annabeth Albert's work, and if you haven't read any of her books before this is a great place to start. If you enjoy MM Romance that has a slow burn, a silver fox/bear, or low angst I would recommend this book to you as well.
Happy Reading!!!

📖 Story comment: Good pace, likeable characters, nice flow.
I liked Ruben and Toby's characters, that they're a bit older, aren't perfect and know who they are. I also enjoyed watching Ruban's daughter go from surly teen to someone ready to stand up for what she wanted. I liked that this book was more about the story and less about the sexy times.
🎧 Narrator comment: I enjoyed Iggy Toma's narration, he suited the characters, has good cadence, inflections and intonations and it's easy to distinguish the characters from each other. Overall an enjoyable performance and he bought the book to life.

Real story
Characters well drawn and realistic and their interaction moving and engaging, often capable of causing tears—a characteristic I cherish in romances. And performance topnotch.
