What I love about them though is that there was actual COMMUNICATION between them. There’s plenty of steamy moments, but it’s one of a couple expressing love to each other and holding on to the connection they know they share. There’s not the romance in this book that you’re expecting. I love both of them opening up about their struggles of figuring out life in the wilderness together. He was much more open and had more emotions on the surface that I was SO HERE FOR. Yet I got to see a whole new side of him. Jonah was still my favorite gruff bush pilot. I really felt and understood her emotions. She had a lot to go through moving to Alaska and being by herself (yes, Jonah is there, but it’s still far away from family/friends) for the first time. I loved her arc from book one and really loved this one too. 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.Ĭalla was still a great character. 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.
