This was a delightful tale of adventure, intrigue and romance.
With Tag and Ally, it was far from "love at first sight" but since they were forced to work together, they had to make some type of "truce".
As they got past the initial "getting acquainted", they both began observing positive qualities in the other person... But was it enough?
This is a fast-paced tale of the rescue services we often take for granted, set within the majestic land of Alaska.
Can modern techniques and ancient i=ones be blended into one?
The story was very well-written, captivating the reader's interest most of the time.

The characters and the background scenes were well portrayed, the Book Cover and Title passable. The girl's description in the story, does not fit the girl on the cover.
The ending was slightly abrupt.

This book was gifted me with no requirement of a positive review. ( )

Acquired Book By: I received a complimentary copy of "Bachelor Remedy" direct from the author Carol Ross in exchange for an honest review. I did not receive compensation for my opinions or thoughts shared herein.

I was a bit surprised Tag was interested in a political bid in the Alaskan Senate, however, as Ms Ross explains his stance and his inclination of pursuing the office, it truly fit in with the continuity of the series as this reflects the dedication of the James' family to the towne of Rankins! I love this about the series - how it isn't just the lives of the characters which is of import to the series but the towne itself. There is a strong emotional attachment to Rankins, to the natural environment which surrounds it and the honest look at life in Alaska through the pen of Carol Ross. I almost would have suspected she'd either spent a considerable amount of hours in Alaska or her passion for the state is reflective of the research she's done to enable all of us to feel as if we've lived in Rankins as we've come to know her characters as well as she has writing about them!

I had to brace myself for the depictions of what happens shortly after this story begins - as everyone whose interested in this state realises the dangers of which wild animal up there can cause the most grief for a human - grizzlies are not to be toyed with nor are they to be questioned for their need for an expansive territory. Although I've not had an encounter with a grizzly (or a brown bear in general) I did have a rather startling encounter with a mama (black) bear whose errant cubs (up a tree, no less!) gave me a bit of a re-thinking about how wildlife and mankind walk a tightrope of shared territory. I also knew I could handle this sequence of a medical emergency - not just because Tag has been the medic in the air all along in the series but because of how A Family Like Hannah's ended on a note of intensive suspense similar to the #LoveINSPIRED stories I love reading alongside my Mum! I have come to trust Ross's instincts and her method of depicting life in this Alaskan community - in other words, I might have felt slightly uncomfortable for what happened but I knew Ross could carry me through the worst bits to get to the heart of the story!

Ooh, I like this Ally Mowak! I felt an instant liking towards her - not just because she has a firm understanding of natural medicine but because she's rubbing Tag the wrong way! She didn't even do anything yet except be herself, taking charge of the patient (involved with the bear!) and asserted herself when it came time to tell him where to take his plane with them on board. It was classic really - how a woman took a bloke off-guard and how the bloke isn't quite sure how he feels about the experience? Loved too, how he underestimated both her age, her experience and her wherewithal to answer any of his enquiries! The fact she has Native American ancestry warmed my heart, too, as I was curious if Ross was going to broach the fact Alaska has a strong Native American presence and how their cultural history is integrated into Alaskan life.

I was dearly emotionally connected to this story - there is a beautiful arc within the novel evolving through traditional vs non-traditional beliefs which truly was well executed. I loved how Ross explored two strong personalities within her characters of Tag and Ally. They were wonderfully created to give you a wicked good read rooted in realistically emotional life experiences where you never felt you could 'guess' what was going to happen or how they were each going to individually react to their circumstances. It felt authentic and real - the connective feeling I have had throughout the Seasons of Alaska series as Ross roots us into her character's lives as if we're walking beside them.

I could hug Ms Ross dearly for this series!! There is something so dearly realistic about how she's written the dramatic story arc and how she's inter-connected her characters' lives! By the time I put down Bachelor Remedy my heart wasn't just full it was emotionally content!

Let’s start with the one minor, minuscule thing about this book that bothered me a teensy, tiny bit. There were so many characters! BUT, I readily admit this is the first Carol Ross book I’ve read and since there are four Seasons of Alaska books before it, I’m sure if I’d started at the beginning, this family and residents of the town would be much more familiar to me. And though it was a lot to keep track of at times, there was no question who this particular story was about.

Ally Mowak is an old soul. While she’s had some unique experiences in her life, there’s one she’s not dealt with much—dating.

Tag James has experienced plenty in his life. The ultimate nice guy, Tag’s problem is that he can’t say no and rarely puts his own wants or needs first (which doesn’t make for the most healthy of romantic relationships.

When these two meet it seems they’re not going to be the best of friends. Good think first impressions sometimes don’t stick. As Tag and Ally spend time together, they quickly grow to admire the other. And you guys, the family basketball tournament is such fun!
The combination of combustive chemistry, tormented tension, an ex-girlfriend set on getting her man back, and an abundance of opinionated family members make this book a great read
