The Simple Wild: A Novel

"The Simple Wild by K.A. Tucker is set in Alaska and is a beautiful romance novel that also explores themes of grief and forgiveness. It’s a city-girl vs country-boy, enemies-to-lovers story with pranks, misunderstandings and lots of banter. Calla travels to Alaska to visit her estranged father, whose health is deteriorating. She meets Jonah, a local pilot who knows her own father better than she does. It’s a slow-burn romance with heart and humour. Side characters such as Jeb are acting as the reader. They’re seeing what the reader has witnessed in their sparring matches or maybe a lingering look. The romantic leads may not have overcome their challenges or obstacles, so the side character is important in pushing them to see what’s happening in front of them and to maybe look again with fresh eyes. Is the person you can’t stop talking about really your enemy?"
