First Impressions
The Simple Wild has been a book and is part of a series that has been all over the book community and for years I have been wanting to pick this one here but just never got around to it. I will be honest I was kinda nervous about it, however, so many have recommended this one personally to me. And finally after talking with a new bookstagrammer friend, (I blame her lol) I decided I needed to really read this and what do ya know.,…I ABSOLUTELY ADORED IT. Like honestly, I have this urge to bang my head against the wall because I feel like an idiot for not reading this book sooner. I never thought that I would love it so much, but this book was everything I was looking for and more and you can bet I will be reading the rest of the books that involve this couple this week because it was so DELICIOUS. Its definitely a book that is well worth the hype.
Summary
Calla Fletcher, was raised mostly in Toronto but her parents split up when she was just a little girl. Her mother struggled to live in Alaska and her father couldn’t leave it. So they ended up separated and Calla hasn’t seen her father since then. When she receives a call from his secretary that he has cancer, she immediately makes plans for a week-long visit and to reconcile with him. When she arrives to Alaska, she meets the big and burly bush pilot that works with her father, Jonah who is a grump and doesn’t like her much. Calla isn’t a huge fan of the prickly Yeti pilot who doesn’t own a shaver. Both Jonah and Calla don’t get off to the best start, but Calla is determined to see this through for her father’s sake. Calla is determined to rekindle her bond with her father but there are sparks that fly between Jonah and Calla. Calla knows that there is no future for them, but wants to embrace what they have. But will Calla decide where her future lies at home with her mom in Toronto or in Alaska where her heart lies?
What I Loved
There was so much joy I found in this book and I can’t believe that I just discovered it and the well-talented author. You can be assured that this won’t be my last K.A. Tucker. I was really blown away by this book and what was delivered here. I didn’t really know much about this book to be honest, and I was so nervous in reading this one, but it ended up being such a superb read that worked out so well for me. I was so drawn into the picturesque setting that is delivered and I just wanted to see where the author would take me on this one. It was such a treat to have the world-building done so well, and honestly, I am so tempted to move to Alaska because darn it!! LOL. I was also intrigued by the way that this author focused on the father/daughter relationship. I was so unsure about it, and I did feel like it crossed off all the boxes for me as I adore family relationships especially when there is healing involved. Then we have the romance that builds between Jonah and Calla which was so well done and I was impressed by its delivery. These two had me laughing all over the place while also focusing on the heart of it. I was really impressed with how balanced their romance was capitalized on and you really could feel the intensity of emotion between them. As characters both Jonah and Calla were like a breath of fresh air. They have such passion in everything that they do and believe in and its emphasized in the writing. There is such a vivid connection you bond with these characters and you just want them to reach their HEA.
What I Struggled With
Nothing!!! This book was perfect and is my favorite of the year so far!
Overall View
I found The Simple Wild to be a majestic romance that lifted my heart and stirred up my emotions. Its a story that will evoke beautiful responses within the read that captivates and stimulates joyous satisfaction. A KEEPER for any reader on their bookshelf!

They can’t sense my loneliness, or the knot in my stomach. That’s the magic of social media, I guess. But there’s also an odd comfort to hiding behind the illusion.

They don’t sell alcohol in Bangor.” “What?” I feel my face twist with shock. “You’re lying.” His eyebrows arch. “You’re arguing with me about this?” “What the hell is this, the 1920s prohibition?”

He’s not like any other guy I’ve dated or crushed on. And while he’s capable of making my blood boil like no one else, I feel a magnetic pull toward him that I can’t explain.
