Lunacy was Nate Burke's
last chance. As a Baltimore cop, he'd watched his partner die on the
street - and the guilt still haunts him. With nowhere else to go, he
accepts the job as Chief of Police in this tiny, remote Alaskan town.
Aside from sorting out a run-in between a couple of motor vehicles and a
moose, he finds his first few weeks on the job are relatively quiet.
But just as he wonders whether this has been all a big mistake, an
unexpected kiss on New Year's Eve under the brilliant Northern Lights of
the Alaska sky lifts his spirit and convinces him to stay just a little
longer.
Meg Galloway, born and raised in Lunacy, is used to being alone. She was a young girl when her father disappeared, and she has learned to be independent, flying her small plane, living on the outskirts of town with just her huskies for company. After her New Year's kiss with the Chief of Police, she allows herself to give in to passion - while remaining determined to keep things as simple as possible. But there's something about Nate's sad eyes that gets under her skin and warms her frozen heart.
And now, things in Lunacy are heating up. Years ago, on one of the majestic mountains shadowing the town, a crime occurred that is unsolved to this day - and Nate suspects that a killer still walks the snowy streets. His investigation will unearth the secrets and suspicions that lurk beneath the placid surface, as well as bring out the big-city survival instincts that made him a cop in the first place. And his discovery will threaten the new life - and the new love - that he has finally found for himself. From Goodreads.

Yes, I liked this book but it only just sneaked up to the four Polar Bears. This is a romance mystery and I must admit I chose the book as it took place in Alaska. I have to chose some books specifically for my "Where are you reading challenge" in order to have any chance of completing it.
As soon as I started reading it I realised I had seen some of the film, luckily I had never finished the film so I didn't know the end. I liked the mystery part a lot and as always I liked it as I could not guess the killer. I also liked Nora Roberts writing style and I giggled a few times which is good.
