On top of everything else, she has to deal with the obnoxious, bush pilot who works for her Dad.Īlthough adjusting to the simple life is more than a bit difficult, Calla slowly sees the kindness and loyalty that embody the Alaskan people.

Since her schedule is now wide open, she decides to take a short trip to Alaska to see him for the first time since she was two.

Calla unexpectedly finds herself without a job and learns her estranged father has cancer on the same day. The Simple Wild by K.A Tucker is a contemporary romance novel set in Alaska.

The Simple Wild Summary But that’s nothing compared to how much I enjoyed the book.*Disclosure – I earn a small commission on any products purchased through the links included below at no extra cost to you. I was hoping for more from Jonah before that last scene. The only complaint I had from this book was the culmination of Jonah and Calla’s romance. I also loved Calla’s interactions with her family, especially her step dad and Wren. Jonah and Calla’s chemistry was off the charts. And he’s exactly what Calla seems to need to open up to her dad. He’s a bearded “yeti” when we first meet him. Jonah, the main pilot of Wren’s company has a big hand towards that.

But slowly and surely, she starts to loosen up and be comfortable in her skin, literally. I liked Calla’s growth and evolution throughout the book. With her 2 large suitcases and even larger prejudices. She gets a call that her father is sick right after she gets fired. So, despite the love between these two, they are separate.Ĭalla is now 26 and hasn’t met her father once since her mother left with her when she was just 2. He’s also a closed book and inexpressive. But she feels stifled and suffocated there and not long after, decides to move back to Canada., hoping her husband will follow. Her mother married him and out of love moved to the middle of nowhere. Tucker was a master in detailing the settings which were not paragraphs upon paragraphs of prose but still enough for the readers to visualize the places.Ĭalla’s father is a bush pilot in the wild of Alaska, a dangerous job. It’s always frustrating for me to not be able to envision the settings when I’m reading a book. When I read the book, I could exactly envision the Alaska the author described. The town of Bangor, Alaska became a character in itself. And then there are settings and places that take form of a physical character themselves. There are real physical characters in a book.
