Klondike Doctor

April 1, 2007
Northwest mounted police sergeant Colt Hunters latest case involves tracking down and capturing a gang of criminals stealing supplies en route to the Yukon gold fields. The only problem is that Colt promised he would take Elizabeth Langley along with him as he and five other Mounties set off for Dawson City. A newly graduated doctor, Elizabeth has several reasons for wanting to visit the Yukon, but she must first prove to Colt that she can handle the long, difficult journey. Much to Colts surprise, Elizabeth not only thrives but also winds up becoming something he never would have expected: a valuable addition to the mission and his life. Bridges excels at capturing the wild geographical beauty of Canada in her latest expertly crafted novel, and skillfully integrates a vivid sense of late-nineteenth-century history into a refreshingly different romance.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2007, American Library Association.)
