It’s about survival, and enjoying the company of the people that surround us. Up here it’s about having enough food to eat, and enough heat to stay alive through the winter. Water runs out pipes freeze engines won’t start it’s dark for eighteen, nineteen hours a day, for months. “Life up here may be simple but it’s not easy, and it’s not for everyone. KA Tucker paints a breathtaking picture of the wild untamed beauty of this land and at times I could really imagine myself traversing and living there. In fact I joke with my sister because whenever I come across a fun fact about Alaska I say reason 6757383 why I need to move to Alaska. I must admit that certain elements in this book took me by surprise, for one setting is not important in a romance novel but somehow I did not only fall in love with the characters but also with Alaska.

It’s a simple truth that turns out to be not so simple after all. It would be foolish of her to kindle a romance, to take the same path her parents tried-and failed at-years ago. As his undercurrent of disapproval dwindles, it’s replaced by friendship-or perhaps something deeper? But Calla is not in Alaska to stay and Jonah will never leave. As time passes, she unexpectedly finds herself forming a bond with the burly pilot. Jonah is probably right, but Calla is determined to prove him wrong. And he’s clearly waiting with one hand on the throttle to fly this city girl back to where she belongs, convinced that she’s too pampered to handle the wild. While she struggles to adjust to this new subarctic environment, Jonah-the quiet, brooding, and proud Alaskan pilot who keeps her father’s charter plane company operational-can’t imagine calling anywhere else home. She braves the roaming wildlife, the odd daylight hours, the exorbitant prices, and even the occasional-dear God-outhouse, all for the chance to connect with her father: a man who, despite his many faults, she can’t help but care for. But when her father reaches out to inform her that his days are numbered, Calla knows that it’s time to make the long trip back to the remote frontier town where she was born. Calla never looked back, and at twenty-six, a busy life in Toronto is all she knows. So I settled for the Simple Wild by KA Tucker which my sister has been begging me to read.Ĭalla Fletcher was two when her mother took her and fled the Alaskan wild, unable to handle the isolation of the extreme, rural lifestyle, leaving behind Calla’s father, Wren Fletcher, in the process.

They just have not been hitting the right spot for me this and I was beginning to wonder if it is just me or what? I did read Changing faces by Amy Harmon which is right there with my best of the best romances but I wanted something recent to spur me on and make me excited about romance again.

I must admit I feel so disappointed by the romance genre lately.
