The exciting novel follows a girl named Maddie whose father works as the secret service agent for the president of the United States, and Logan, the son of the president. When a kidnapping attempt takes place at the White House, Maddie and Logan are separated and Maddie is forced to live in Alaska with her father, isolated from the world. Years pass by and Maddie and Logan are 16 years old without having spoken to each other for years. Logan is sent to Alaska and the greeting isn’t as warm as he hoped. First, Maddie who tends to act bitter towards Logan, angry Russians and then the cold temperature and snow of Alaska.
This book has great humor delivered by Maddie and Logan. Personally, I loved getting to see Maddie and Logan’s relationship evolve throughout the book as they face life or death situations. Their romantic spark traps any romance-loving readers. The only thing that I disliked about this book was the idea that a Russian would specifically target and follow the president's son into Alaska and risk his life in the freezing temperatures. I think any teen who loves romance and adventure would enjoy this book. If you have enjoyed past Ally Carter books, I also suggest this one as it is thrilling and a quick read.
