Award-winning author Patience Griffin has been writing and sewing her whole life but didn’t discover her love of quilting until her late thirties. She decided the best way to acquire her first quilt was to make one for herself. At nearly the same time, she started commuting three and half hours a day for her dream engineering job. To pass the time on the long drive, she got hooked on audiobooks—especially books with love stories. Within a couple of years, she was writing stories of her own. It was no surprise to her family and friends when she combined her love of quilting, her small town roots, and her obsession with Scottish romances into novels. She has gained some recognition with her September 11th Story Quilt which has toured the country as the property of the Pentagon. Her first book, To Scotland with Love, received a Publishers Weekly *starred reviewed, won the New England Readers’ Choice award and Golden Quill for best first book and was also a double RITA® finalist. Patience’s Kilts and Quilts series takes place in small town Scotland and set around a group of quilters. She loves to write about home, heart, and community.

Synopsis: Two sisters from Texas find themselves exiled to Alaska . . . and thrown into the arms of two very different men.
Tori
and McKenna St. James have been living comfortably on their trust funds
in Dallas. But their uncle Monty, keeper of the purse strings, decides
to push them out of their comfort zones by requiring them to spend one
year in Alaska or lose their inheritance. Initially the sisters are
stunned, but they aren't willing to back down from the challenge.
Tori
is sent to a primitive homestead outside the tiny town of Sweet Home.
She had been prepared to forego fashion magazines and lattes, but not
electricity and running water! Will her rugged wilderness guide, Jesse
Montana, teach her to survive, or send her fleeing back to civilization?
Meanwhile, outdoorsy McKenna is stuck within the concrete walls of an
Anchorage bank. Her sexy boss Luke McAvoy is tasked with teaching her
the business but what he’s really doing is tempting her. Not that she’s
the type to fall for a stuffed suit like him.
Tori and McKenna
find much needed solace with Sweet Home’s Sisterhood of the Quilt. Will
this crafty group of women be up to the challenge of teaching two
outsiders how to sew—and perhaps how to love? (Synopsis from Goodreads)
My Thoughts: As soon as I saw the cute dog on the cover, I wanted to read it. The whole premise of it grabbed me even more. I thought this was a cute book and I enjoyed reading it.
We get two sisters in this, which means two romances. I wasn't expecting that when I picked it up.
I enjoyed watching these two rich girls having to "rough it" in Alaska. I mean, Tori has to do a little more roughing it then McKenna. Then we get the two men who are going to teach them how to survive their new situations.
I just thought this was fun. It was a quick read, and I enjoyed it.
Thanks so much for checking out my Blog Tour Stop for Once Upon a Cabin by Patience Griffin. Thanks so much to Berkley and Patience Griffin for letting me be a part of the tour. If you're looking for something cute to read, I'd definitely recommend picking this one up.
