Alexandra Scott, Alaskan Wilderness Woman. It had a terrific ring to it, but Alex felt a sudden twinge of uncertainty. She'd traded in her Wall Street job and fancy condo for a rundown cabin in the woods and a bait & tackle store. She'd wanted to escape the rat race and to go husband-hunting where men outnumbered women four to one, but was she ready for the challenge?
Then she spotted Michael Casey, a sexy pilot who was undaunted by disaster, had hero written all over him...and was a confirmed bachelor. Michael Casey was the man she had come to Alaska to hunt, and Alexandra Scott had him in her sights.

"I was very pleasantly surprised about this book. I was looking to branch out and try reading some adult contemporary. I was a little concerned at first because I was afraid it was just female porn like one of those steamy romance novels but I got into FAST. Alexandra's character was so cute and it made me think about one day just re-vamping my entire life. I enjoyed the blossoming romance between her and Michael Casey!! SUPER CUTE"
— Alexandria (5 out of 5 stars)
“In Manhunt, which is more complex than some in the genre, Alaskan pilot Michael Casey is well drawn, and although it may strain credulity to believe that Wall Street whiz Alexandra Scott would trade her life in Manhattan for a business and home in Alaska (sight unseen), Evanovich makes it plausible. C. J. Critt narrates with great spirit and strength and a facility for defining characters; she’s having such a good time that the listener can’t help but be drawn into the story and want to stride into the Alaskan wilderness…Recommended for Evanovich fans.”
— Library Journal“Pure Evanovich…Critt laughs along with the listener as Alexandra fights off mice, guns, snow, and abundant men.”
— AudioFile" First off, Alex is a dingbat (and not like Stephanie Plum, who seems like a dingbat but is actually pretty smart). And the resolution is a little abrupt. But, the tension is good, the story is cute, and it made me laugh out loud more than once, so I give it a thumbs up. "
— Jaime, 1/29/2014" This is one of Janet Evanovich's early books. Her later ones are much better. But this was a good "beach read" anyway. "
— Linda, 1/27/2014" Started out slow was about to give up but kept on glad I did. "
— Mari1424, 1/27/2014" nice, fun, light read. "
— Renae, 1/27/2014" Considering her Stephanie Plum series can be a lot of fun, I was surprised at how lame this book was. I think Evanovich needed to make a house payment. "
— D, 1/22/2014" A very quick read, and a good book. A little predictable as many romance novels are, but the story line had plenty of meat to it and the characters were well written and very likeable. "
— Michele, 1/18/2014" How could I not like this book! It had a Rottweiler in it. :) "
— Daelith, 1/13/2014" what a great and quick read!! "
— Joann, 1/8/2014" I literally laughed out loud during parts of this book. Another gem by queen of Chick Lit, Janet Evanovich. "
— Liisa, 1/4/2014" Trying to read some other books by Evanovich other than the Plum series. Not bad but somehow more implausible. The city girl takes off for Alaska with nothing but silk and the sports car. Happily she is rescued before being stranded in a no signal zone. "
— Jan, 12/18/2013" Entertaining, typical Janet Evanovich "
— Jandblock, 12/13/2013" Romance novel re-release number 4. "
— Dawn, 11/24/2013" Cute whimsical romance. One of Janet Evanovichs earlier books that was re-released. Apparently Janet Evanovich lived in Fairbanks Alaska for a year and used that to help her write this book. It was interesting to see the was she preceived Alaska life. "
— Birdie, 11/19/2013" I love Janet Evanovich, but generally think her re-released romance novels are just 'so-so'. This one I really liked though. I read it 3 or 4 times. It's a quick, easy read and the story line is cute! "
— Joan, 10/18/2013" She's still a funny writer! "
— Denise, 7/23/2013" I appreciated the correctness in Alaska facts. :) "
— Julia, 7/3/2013" Cute story and great for a change of pace. It reminded me a lot of the tv show "Men in Trees" and I kind of wondered if the show was based a little on this. It worked out well for me to have something to occupy my mind with other than the morons on the road during my commute to work. "
— Niki, 5/21/2013" Very cute. The ending was a bit rushed, so I had to knock off a star. I really enjoy these small stories by Janet Evanovich. They are silly and unrealistic! This one had me smirking through the whole read. "
— Lacy, 5/14/2013" Well if you like Mills and Boons, this is for you. Shocker. "
— Jill, 2/1/2013" Enjoyed the change of pace from her normal characters, but still left me wanting more! "
— Nicole, 1/22/2013" Very cute book. The female is a walking disaster but never a dull moment! She was very braisen when she traded her New Jersey condo/broker life to live in an Alaskan camp/hardware store. Worth checking out! "
— Gabby, 10/8/2012" Trading in her Wall Street job and fancy condo for a rundown cabin in the woods. She's now Alaskan Wilderness Woman "
— Toni, 9/8/2012" Quick, cute, easy read. It moves really fast though and definitely not as good as her Plum Series. "
— Ashley, 9/4/2012" Really enjoyed the book. But the scenery she describes is not the scenery that is visible from College, AK "
— Katelyn, 7/11/2012" So far the best of her re-released romance novels! "
— Lindsay, 6/11/2012" I like to read anything that takes place in Alaska "
— Navynursemom, 6/10/2012" Really stupid, but funny and cute and I enjoyed it. I listened to it on audio and the reader was good and enhanced the story. You don't read Evanovich for literature, but it was good escapism. I listen in the car on my commute, but would have also been happy with this book on the beach. "
— Pam, 4/19/2012" So I read this in a day. Awesome romantic comedy. Typical Evanovich. Loved it!!! "
— Danielle, 8/3/2011" I did not enjoy this book. It was a romance, but without the brains. It was a lot of silly situations and contrived scenarios about a woman trying to trick a man into marrying her when she originally told him she didn't want to be married to him. Not enjoyable. "
— Tara, 4/18/2011" Trading in her Wall Street job and fancy condo for a rundown cabin in the woods. She's now Alaskan Wilderness Woman "
— Toni, 3/29/2011" This was a cutesy pleasant little love story with a lot of funny parts. I like that the hero was often exasperated. "
— Mollie, 3/18/2011" Fun, easy, quick read. I love Janet Evanovich! "
— Julie, 3/12/2011" Quick easy read... a nice way to mix things up from my usual choice in books! "
— Shannon, 3/5/2011" So I read this in a day. Awesome romantic comedy. Typical Evanovich. Loved it!!! "
— Danielle, 12/27/2010" This is a light bit of fluff, but enjoyable nevertheless. It feels like a formulaic romance, but it doesn't follow the typical 'girl meets boy, fall in love, strike trouble, overcome it, happily ever after' line, so in that way it's refreshing. "
— Pam, 12/16/2010" I really could't get into the characters at all. They felt so fake. I was intruiged by the premise, but was just disappointed in the end result. "
— Ariel, 10/19/2010" This wasn't as good as the Plum series, but I did like it better than the first few of the Full series. A stand alone romance, with The heroine leaving behind her New Jersey life for a cabin in the wood of Alaska. Light and amusing. "
— Jan, 8/28/2010" So wrong in so many ways! This was my 1st book by the author and now i dont want to read any more of her work. "
— Mersina, 8/27/2010" I love this whole series! :) "
— Amber, 8/2/2010" This was my favorite of her Romance novels! The characters are great! Alex and Casey are soo cute! "
— Mandi, 7/9/2010" Maybe I liked this book better because it was set in Alaska, I don't know. <br/> <br/>These are "beginner" romance books, nothing explicit just gushy romance stuff. "
