The concept of this 'Alaska is its own country' in a romance novel is really interesting. It might offer a different perspective on both the place and relationships. If the author manages to create vivid characters and a captivating plot within this unique premise, it could be a very enjoyable read. On the other hand, some readers might find the false geographical concept a bit hard to swallow. But overall, it could be a great addition to the romance genre for those who like something out of the ordinary.
Well, it depends on your taste. If you like unique settings like Alaska being somewhat misrepresented as its own country in a fictional sense and enjoy romance, it might be. But if you're a stickler for geographical accuracy in your books, it could be off - putting.
