I'd Give It 100 Stars If There Was Room!!!

Treasures of the North was an awesome book. Don't listen to anyone who says they couldn't get into it. They must be reading an entirely different book because what I read was a thrilling fast pace book filled with romance and interesting plots. If you love historical fiction, you will love Treasures of the North. It's about a 20 year old named Grace who has to escape to Alaska when she is being forced ot marry a man who is evil and abusive, Martin Paxton. Grace escapes with her teacher who is also her best friend, Karen. While traveling there she falls in love with the captain, Peter Colton. Will she finally rid herself of the terrible Martin Paxton, and marry Peter or will she be forced into a horrible marriage? Read Treasures of the North and find out!!!!! Look at the reviews for the sequel Ashes and Ice for my review!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ignore the cynics, get this book!

I really don't understand the reviews I'm seeing here. To me this book had some great and unpredictable twists and turns. The description of the Alaskan territory makes you feel like your there (I should know, I've been twice!). You really come to love and get involved with these characters. I read the whole series, and LOVED each one! I gobble up Christian Historical Fiction, and have read both the good and the bad in this catagory. This series is DEFINATELY in the catagory of good!

Stunning!

I remember heading to the Christian Fiction Section to see if I could find some books I havent read by Lori Wick, unfortunatly I could not find any new books by her but did find this series, or rather the second and third of the series. So I went searching for the first book at other various bookstores, finally I found it. It was absolutly great, I would have read it all in one sitting except by the time I came home with the book it was 11:00. I would Highly Recommend this book to anyone!

This book is wonderful!!!

This is the first Tracie Peterson book I have read, and it was absolutely fabulous!! I was riveted by the plotline, it was full of surprises and the message of salvation was woven beautifully and appropriately throughout.This book was so refreshing, and unique! I can't wait to the read the next one in the series.
