Penelope grew up immersed in legends of the yeti. Her fascination with the mythical creature was fueled and shared with her dad who, unfortunately, passed away before they could fulfill their lifelong dream of finding one together. Grieving but knowing it's time to move forward, she plans on taking that trip in his honor. Maybe it would heal the hole his death left behind.

Atticus has spent the past five years living on and caring for Aulavik National Park, including the tiny island that rarely sees visitors. A giant compared to most, abnormal looking to almost all, the solitude he's found away from civilization is his safe haven and perfect since it's just him.

Until it isn't.

This is a different kind of insta than what I'm used to reading from Ms. Hart. While the instant everything is in place, there's a little more depth and emotion here that pulled at my heartstrings and made me smile even. It was nice to read about Atticus and Penelope connecting parts of themselves before having sex. It made that first sex scene feel a little more intimate, meaningful rather than "You are mine, now I claim you!" type of scene.

I enjoyed the comparison of Atticus to a yeti. Freakishly tall, curiously pale skin, wildman type beard, it was easy to see why Penelope mistook him for a yeti on their first meeting since all she could make out was his beard. The story as a whole is an enjoyable take on the legend of the yeti. Even though Penelope never actually found one, she did find a lifetime of thrills and adventure with her very own "yeti" man.
