One of my favorite romance books is The Simple Wild by K.A Tucker. I read it last year and I fell in love with the characters. I am very picky about which romances I like and this book for me was perfect! When I heard there was a sequel coming out I wanted to read it ASAP. I am so happy this sequel is out in the world!
This is a true sequel (you must read The Simple Wild before reading Wild at Heart) and it picks up right where The Simple Wild ended. I am always nervous about sequels and I had high expectations for this book. I’m happy to say it was everything I wanted and more!
Synopsis:
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.
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

My thoughts:
What makes this book so special? It brings me so much joy! Both The Simple Wild and Wild at Heart are books that I want go hug when I’m done reading them. That is the kind of feeling I like to get when I read a book. I believe this book was written with the Calla and Jonah fans in mind and I appreciate that so much!
Calla and Johan are one of my favorite fictional couples. There is something about them that is very genuine and real. K.A Tuker has the ability to write these amazing characters that you identify with and root for. These characters grow throughout the story, not only their romantic relationship but also personal growth and their relationships with others.
This book is set in Alaska, which really made me want to go visit! The descriptions of the scenery are on point and I really felt like I was there. I’m going to need another book in this series.
