The last thing Jack Spencer wants to be is a fishing guide for rich tourists. But with a sister in need of help and nothing but a rusty fishing boat to his name, he takes a job at The Wild Eagle Lodge, Alaska’s newest luxury resort.

When a scandal rocks his career, movie star Damian Marshall feels like the whole world is watching his every move. That is, until he meets a gruff fishing guide who doesn’t seem to know who he is. Desperate for escape, Damian grabs at the chance for anonymity with both hands.

Away from the pressure of studios and the media, Damian and Jack grow closer. But as sparks fly and scandal follows Damian north, Jack will need to decide if he can love a man he hardly knows, or if this brush with fame is too hot to handle.

Up North is a 77k contemporary MM romance novel. It features a movie star on the run, a fishing guide who has never been anywhere, and bears of all sorts. HEA guaranteed.




My Rating - 4.5 Stars!

God. I love Allison Temple's Up North. The first book in the Compass Stars series, this looks like it will be a fabulous series. 

I love everything about this story. The opposites attract factor is fabulous, with Damien a famous movie star, and Jack the fisherman who doesn't even know who Damien is. 

Stories like this always warm my heart. I love when a famous person can connect with someone who doesn't know who they are. The relationship naturally develops as the two are so good together. 

Of course, Damien's identity, his whereabouts, and the fact that Jack doesn't know who he is, creates tension that looms throughout. So good! 

Both men are at a crossroads in life. One's hiding out. The other's stuck in a situation he didn't choice. Both have their futures to deal with. I enjoy the way this is similar for both, and the way everything unfolds for them. 

Up North is a fabulous comfort read. This Allison Temple read is perfect when you're in the mood to sink your teeth into a warm hearted romance.
