Book Description from Goodreads:
Sent to find a wedding party that disappeared during a hike, Alaskan state trooper Hunter McCord and his K-9 partner, Juneau, discover bridesmaid Ariel Potter hanging from a cliff. But this was no accident—she was pushed—and her hiking companions are missing. Now it’s up to Hunter and Juneau to find them…and make sure whoever wants Ariel dead doesn’t finish the job.


My Review:
Alaskan Rescue is a romantic suspense novel. It's a start of a new series that has an ongoing mystery to be solved as well as a mystery that was solved in this book. Since there were few suspects and the clues pointed strongly in one direction, the whodunit behind the later attacks on Ariel seemed pretty obvious to me (though not easily proven). I'd expected these attacks to mainly be a diversion from solving the initial attack, so I was surprised that no progress was made on that whodunit beyond the acceptance that the missing, accused person was guilty.

The suspense was created by repeated attacks on Ariel. The main characters were likable and reacted realistically to events. Both Ariel and Hunter had reasons to reject love and marriage, but these dissolved by the end of the story. Ariel was very independent but was willing to accept protection since it was needed. Hunter learned to trust and support her by the end. Hunter trusted God to keep him safe, and Ariel learned to trust God for his and her safety. Both briefly prayed for help throughout the story. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable romantic suspense.
