When Jason Flores moves to the Yukon for a new job, he's not sure what to expect. His son Micah seems enchanted by the wildlife, but his recent fear of the dark means that the eighteen-hour nights in the winter will be a difficult adjustment. When Jason takes Micah to the local museum's interactive lecture series on the gold rush, it turns out to be one of the best decisions he's ever made.  Pete Odjick, a tattooed First Nations and Inuit man, dresses up for the weekly lectures as Skookum Jim, one of the first prospectors to find gold. He takes an immediate interest in Micah and an even bigger interest in Jason.  As their flirtation grows into something more serious, Jason's job at a big name oil company and Pete's volunteer work with an environmental group become a point of contention. Can they come to an understanding and give Micah a family again? Or will the drastic differences between them tear them apart? As the winter nights grow longer, Pete and Jason worry their love won't be enough to chase the darkness away. World of Love:Stories of romance that span every corner of the globe.… (més)

Set in the Yukon, Canada, this heartwarming novella about finding a home and making a family is part of the ‘World of Love’ series that offers stories of romance that span every corner of the globe. If all of the stories are as warm and heartwarming while conveying a lot of interesting details about the territory or country they are set in as ‘Chase this Light’, this will be an enjoyable series to read. Much like the sister series ‘States of Love’ has been allowing me to tour the US virtually, this series looks as though it will give me an opportunity to visit the world – even if only virtually. I have never been to the Yukon, and I think the lack of sunlight in winter would be hard to take, but the wildlife, nature, and friendly people in this story make it sound like a worthwhile place to visit.

Jason is from Pickering, near Toronto, and he has moved himself and his four-year-old son, Micah, all the way across Canada for a new, better-paid job in corporate finance. Jason is not sure what to expect, but he does know that Micah is going to have a hard time as soon as winter comes because the little boy is afraid of darkness. Among the things they do to get to know their new home is a visit to an interactive show at the local museum, and that opens up a whole new world to both of them – as well as introduces them to Pete, to whom both Jason and Micah feel an immediate connection.

Pete has been working at the museum for a while, and a big part of his job is to impersonate a historical prospector during the weekly lectures. Pete is of First Nations and Inuit descent and feels very connected to nature and his father’s traditional Native art. Pete is immediately interested in getting to know Jason and Micah. But when he finds out that Jason works for a big name oil company that Pete is sure will get into fracking, not that they have admitted it yet, his hackles rise. How is he supposed to get involved with a man who works for the sort of nature-destroying company that Pete is determined to fight?

Jason and Pete are off to a rocky start. At first glance, an oil man and an environmental activist are not a match that would work for five seconds. And even though Jason isn’t an executive and has his own ideas where the company should go, and Pete is willing to come to an understanding, other people have different ideas and when Jason’s company is hacked and all hints point toward Pete’s organization, things come to a head and both men think that’s the end of any kind of potential for a relationship. Luckily the author had different ideas, and I think the way the story develops is rather clever. Not at all what I expected, but that made it even more fun.

If you like stories about interesting parts of the world you might not have visited before, if you think that two men who seem to stand for opposite ends of the moral spectrum deserve a chance at happiness together, and if you’re looking for a read that is informative, suspenseful, and heartwarming, then you will probably like this novella.
