I loved the community and their neighbor, the curmudgeon whose story moved me. Some drama, suspense and the unexpected problems of life in the wild kept me flipping the pages. It was interesting seeing her navigate this new life, her neighbors, and seeing her find her place in this wilderness, from gardening to overcome her fears.

Fletcher is busy building his business and at first Calla feels a part of that, but she quickly learns she must find her own place in this vast wilderness. The setting and small community were the centerpiece of Wild at Heart from the woman, who is the glue to this small community, to their neighbor, whose bark is worse than his bite. They end up buying a log cabin with an airstrip, but it’s forty-five minutes to the city. She is looking at properties close to the city and he is looking for a homestead with land for an airstrip. Calla takes a chance on them and packs up her life to move.īack in Alaska, they put their homes up for sale and begin looking for a new home to share. At the end of book one, Calla returned to Toronto, and this book picks up as Fletcher prepares to leave from visiting her and asking Calla to move back. This story continues the romance and lives of Calla and Fletcher and while Tucker does a great job with backstory to refresh the reader, I believe this series should be read in order. 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. 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. 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.

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.īut 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.

From the internationally best-selling author of The Simple Wild comes the continuation of a woman’s journey to Alaska and a life she never imagined for herself.Ĭalla 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.
