North of Love: Xtreme Ops Search & Rescue Holiday Romance Kindle Edition
A woman on the run from her stalker lands in a Christmas wonderland with the only man who can save her.
As the lead dog handler for an elite search and rescue group in the Alaskan mountains, Hunt Cason knows stress. And he’s ready for a short breather from it all by spending the holiday season in a remote cabin. Being alone on Christmas might sound depressing, except he’s got everything he needs from firewood to his best friend and K-9 partner, German Shepherd Aries. But all too soon his peace is shattered when a half-frozen and beautiful woman knocks on his door. What can he do but help?
While running blind into the snowy mountains wasn’t Freya Fuller’s best plan, luck is on her side when she ends up safe and sound with a smoking-hot guy and his loyal dog. She might be withholding secrets about her stalker situation to keep Hunt safely out of it, but she can’t hold anything back from his heated demands in between his plaid flannel sheets.
Spending a fairytale Christmas in the arms of a good woman has this confirmed bachelor believing in happily-ever-afters. But when the truth about who Freya’s running from is revealed, there’s no restraining Hunt from doing what he does best—searching and rescuing the only woman he can picture a life with.
If you love a Christmas tree lighting and building gingerbread houses, along with some scorching sexy moments with a hot rescuer, NORTH OF LOVE is the 1-CLICK for you! This spinoff of the XTREME OPS team will bring you all the holiday feels!

- Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2025Em Petrova has written another amazing book. This one has danger, suspense, steamy heat, fear, and hope. Plus she included an incredible K9. Her two main characters, Hunt and Freya, are meant to be together.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2024Full of excitement, suspense, hot love, animals and Christmas. What more could you ask for. Great story. More from this author, please.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2021A fast moving holiday romance between a Search and Rescue leader with his trained dog and a young woman they rescued on a mountain road. When strange events start to occur, it becomes apparent she has a stalker.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2022North Of Love is an excellent romantic suspense by Em Petrova. Ms. Petrova has provided readers with a well-written book populated with a spectacular cast of characters. This is a fairly quick read, perfect for those with limited time for reading. Freya has blanks in her memories being shuffled from home to home in the system. Hunt is a search and rescue K-9 handler for Xtreme Ops. When Hunt's K-9, Aries, alerts on their way to a vacation cabin, Hunt stops the truck and follows Aries to Freya. Freya and Hunt's story is loaded with drama, humor, sizzle, action and suspense. I enjoyed reading North Of Love and look forward to my next book by Em Petrova. This is book 7 of the Xtreme Ops Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliffhanger.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2021This was a fun book as a spin off from the Xtreme ops team.
Hunt just wanted some vacation and some R&R up in the mountains alone with his K9 partner, Aries. However Aries being the good trained animal that he is, he sniffs out a hurt woman.
I liked the simmering chemistry between these two mixed in with the take charge and doing everything by the book that Hunt was trying to do to make sure Freya OK.
I liked seeing Cason help Freya live her Christmas dream in this small town all the while they were falling for each other.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2022Hunt's happy for his coupled up co-workers but ready for his own HEA. He's headed to remote cabin for 3 weeks of R & R with his faithful K9 partner Aries when the dog alerts to a victim. They find Freya in the snow not far from death. His cabin is the closest warm place and they end up snowed in for several days. Despite only just meeting they quickly develop feelings. Cue the cuddling and steamy togetherness to keep the cold at bay.. Unfortunately the circumstances leading to their meeting and forced togetherness also mean danger. Hunt will fight for his woman and Freya is a survivor.
I like this series but deducted a star for a couple reasons: Aries scented Freya from inside the SUV when she was several yards from the road which seems improbable; given the way he found her which at least raised the possibility of foul play, Hunt never says anything when he suspects the danger isn't over; lastly Freya doesn't say anything despite believing she's being targeted. I get denial but after almost dying from exposure where's her sense of self preservation?
- Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2021If you are a fan of spending your holiday watching Hallmark Christmas movies; drinking hot cocoa while sitting by a roaring fire; attending town Christmas festivals in the snow; watching Lifetime movies where a psychologically deranged individual stalks a woman he has become obsessed with; love a sweet hearted, strong Alpha hot man who is trained and capable to find the lost with the help of his adorable canine partner; love reading combustible steamy sex scenes which leave you longing for more; love a happy ending... well then, my friend, look no further. Author Em Petrova's North of Love is exactly the book you have been longing for. This book was everything I wanted and more for Christmas.
One-click buy today and make all of your holiday dreams come true this year!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2021What happened to Freya wasn’t really a mystery, but if her attacker would return provided plenty of suspense to the story. She’s lucky that Hunt’s amazing search and rescue dog Aires found her. Their romance burns hot quickly, but he keeps having to leave her behind to go out of rescues and she keeps her memories and gut feelings inside instead of telling him. I was surprised he didn’t arrange to have her stay some place safer. I thought it was sweet that despite all she’s been through Freya loves Christmas.

North of Love (Xtreme Ops, #7)
by Em Petrova is another thoroughly exciting story that I read in one sitting.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hunt was headed to a lonely cabin for vacation but he found his future
Freya had grown up in the system and unfortunately attracted a stalker. Colby latched on to Freya in a foster home and wouldn't leave her alone. Hunt and his dog Aries found her on a lonely road where she would have died. The two protectors changed Freya's world for the better!
