Jonah is so mean to Calla when they first meet, but he was characterized so well that I felt like I understood his motivations even before they were revealed. Though the hate to love trope doesn’t always work for me, I absolutely loved how it played out here. Tucker that were pretty forgettable, but I was in a trance while reading this one and I enjoyed every moment of it.įirst, the romance was to die for, and crafted extremely well. But this book ended up surprising me in the very best way. So, needless to say, I was a bit hesitant to pick it up, as I don’t always jive well with the romances that everyone else seems to love (re: The Love Hypothesis). The Simple Wild has been on my radar for years now, and I’ve seen nothing but great reviews for it. It’s a simple truth that turns out to be not so simple after all (via Goodreads). 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. Soon, she finds herself forming an unexpected 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 rugged environment, Jonah-the unkempt, obnoxious, and proud Alaskan pilot who helps keep 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 Calla learns that Wren’s days may be numbered, she 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. About the BookĬalla Fletcher wasn’t even 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. I was in quite the reading slump back in January, but there was still one, great read that came out of last month, and that was K.A.
