Calla Fletcher returns to Toronto a different person, struggling to find direction and still very much in love with the rugged bush pilot she left behind. When Jonah arrives on her doorstep with a proposition she can’t dismiss, she takes the leap and rushes back to Alaska to begin their exciting future together.
But Calla soon learns that even the best intentions can lead to broken promises, and that compromise comes with a hefty price—a log cabin in interior rural Alaska that feels as isolating as the western tundra.
With Jonah gone more than he’s home, one neighbor who insists on transforming her into a true Alaskan, and another who seems more likely to shoot her than come to her aid, Calla grapples with forging her own path. In a world with roaming wildlife that has her constantly watching over her shoulder and harsh conditions that stretch far beyond the cold, dark, winter months, just stepping outside her front door can be daunting.
This is not the future Calla had in mind, leaving her to fear that perhaps she is doomed to follow in her mother’s fleeing footsteps after all.
I fell in love with a sky cowboy from Alaska.
The Simple Wild was one of my favorite romances of 2018 and when I heard there was a sequel coming out, I was thrilled. I couldn’t wait to get more Calla and Jonah and I hoped I would love it as much as the first. Well, I did. It was different than the first book in a lot of ways, but I loved revisiting the characters we know and love as well as meeting some new ones.
Calla and Jonah move to their own piece of paradise in a small Alaskan town. It’s perfect for Jonah. It has an airstrip, it’s in the state he loves, and he’s with the love of his life. He couldn’t ask for more. Things aren’t as easy for Calla, at least not at first. Alaska is not where she saw herself, but she can’t see herself without Jonah so it’s an easy choice.
I loved the setting of this book. The new cast of characters introduced were amazing. Each one had so much to contribute to the story, and played an important part. This story made me laugh, made me cry, and made me smile so big. I truly felt for Calla and admired her for all she went through. Her life is a far cry from how it was in the first book, but she takes it in stride.
This book had so much growth in it. I loved watching Calla change and grow. I loved seeing how real she was and watching her and Jonah’s relationship go through hurdles, but only strengthen with time and dedication. This couple is so in love and truly meant for one another. This truly was the kind of sequel we never knew we needed.
KA Tucker is an incredible storyteller and reading this book made me feel like I was there in Alaska with Calla and Jonah. This story is a romance, it’s an adventure, and it’s flawless. I adored every page and can’t recommend it enough.
“I need you in my life like I need to fly. Like I need this Alaskan air. More than I need this air.”
