Right Here Waiting by Michelle Sass AlecksonMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
It was so lovely to return to Deep Haven. This is the final book in this Deep Haven collection, but hope it won't be my last visit to this lovable town. Even though this is a collection/series, and the characters we've met throughout the series makes appearances, you can read this as a stand-alone. But I will recommend reading the whole series (and in order - but I'm OCD with reading series in order.)
Nick was one of those characters where everyone can see how great a person he is, except for him. He has such a big heart, and who can not help and love a hero who has a soft spot for dogs! Jae had a lot to learn as well, and her learning had more physical and serious consequences.
I loved how the author smoothly used the physical and emotional challenges of these characters to bring the characters (and reader) to learn deeper lessons in their spiritual journey with God.
“Faith is not about being strong, having all the answers, or having our act together.”
Oh, and if you have some of an obsession with Star Wars, you will love Nick and Jae.
Highly recommended of fans of Susan May Warren and anything Deep Haven.

About the book:
He lives in a world of winter.
Sled dog musher and outdoor adventurer Nick Dahlquist doesn’t mean to be a loner—he just feels at home in the woods, with his dogs, and also online in his vlogging world, where he’s amassed nearly a million viewers. But he’s just a simple guy, with simple goals—care for his dogs, teach people how to survive the cold, and run the Iditarod. Unfortunately, life turns cold when his lead dog is injured, and he’s low on funds. Good thing he has LadyJHawk to chat with. She’s become an online friend he can turn to, and he’s starting to need her more than he’d like to admit. But the last thing he wants is for some random woman to show up on his doorstep…
She doesn’t belong in his world.
Chopper pilot and Texas gal Jae Lynn Washington has been following Nick’s DogQuest videos and Get Lost in the Woods vlogs since she inherited her deceased boyfriend’s military working dog. Three years later, his encouragement and help as online chat buddies have made her wonder if he could be more than a friend. What if she moved to Deep Haven? Would that be considered stalking, even if she had a bonafide job on the Crisis Response Team?
But she’s determined to try…
When Jae shows up in Deep Haven—and on Nick’s doorstep—he’s not at all the man she met online. The last thing she’ll do is tell him she’s really LadyJHawk. And when Nick is tapped to train the Crisis Response Team, he’s pretty sure that petite, summer-loving Jae won’t last a moment in the brutal cold—a fear he pours out to LadyJHawk. As their training takes a personal turn, their chilly start begins to thaw. But is he ready to shake off his online relationship for the one in real life? And if Jae tells him the truth, will it spook him back into the woods?
When a blizzard strikes, and the CRT is called out into the storm, it might be too late…
Cozy up to this delightful, wintery twist on You’ve Got Mail set in the snowy escape of Deep Haven.
