Series ✦ Penny’s Take
Her Alaskan Family
Heidi McCahan · 2024
72/100
👍 Worth It
McCahan delivers exactly what Love Inspired readers come for — a clean, faith-forward romance with genuine emotional stakes wrapped around a charming Alaskan small-town setting. The fake-relationship premise is well worn in the genre, but the foster-daughter subplot gives it a little more heart than average. The fact that a second series book followed is a good sign that readers connected with it.
