Stacy Henrie has a new historical romance out called Heart of Gold. I was really excited to read it because it features the Klondike Trail and Canada, so that was something unique!
In the book we meet Tava Rutherford who has been in love with Jess Lawmen, a ranch hand, since she was a teen. She's all grown up now, but Jess has firmly put her in the friend zone---until they receive news her father has taken ill on his trip to the Klondike and might die. Tava and Jess journey to the Klondike and meet up with some new friends along the way---including an adorable boy and his dog. But with all the stresses of the trip and being in close contact, will Tava be able to hide her real feelings for Jess? And can she reach her father before it's too late?
This was a gentle romance set against a really great backdrop. I thought the author did a great job describing the trail and the obstacles of the Klondike. I loved the adventure of it all, and after reading about it, I really don't know if I would have made it! Beyond that, Jess and Tava's romance is gentle and low tension---just a nice little thread in the big picture. This was a sweet romance and a cute afternoon read.

They'll have to conquer more than the Klondike Trail to reach her father in time—they’ll have to overcome their past too.
After months of silence from her father in the Klondike, Tava Rutherford finally receives word from him. Only the outdated letter reveals that her father is ill and may be dying. Desperate to discover his fate, Tava resolves to make the journey to the wilds of northwestern Canada. But Jess Lawmen, her ranch foreman and the man who broke her heart, insists she doesn't go alone. Jess intends to keep his promise to look out for her—even if that means traveling thousands of miles with Tava, the woman he claims to feel just friendship for but has never stopped loving.
With their own ragtag group of travelers in tow, Tava and Jess confront one challenge after another as they join the hundreds of stampeders scrambling to reach the goldfields. But as the two of them come face to face with their past hurts and mistakes in their race to reach Tava’s father, they will have to decide whether to cling to safety or risk their hearts for something even greater.

Thanks for reading and reviewing this one, Julie! I don't think I would have made it all the way to the Klondike either. :)
It was fun to read about, though! :)
