Publisher's summary

From the internationally bestselling author of The Simple Wild comes the story of a woman at a crossroads in her life, struggling between the safe route and the one that will only lead to more heartbreak.

Veterinarian Marie Lehr knows unrequited love all too well after pining for her best friend, only to watch him marry another woman. It's a mistake she will never make again, especially not when she can practically hear the clock ticking on her childbearing years.

The trouble is, she can't seem to find anyone who appeals to her even a fraction as much as that burly bush pilot did. Competitive musher Tyler Brady certainly doesn't, especially not after the heated altercation with the handsome but arrogant, spiteful man.

Or so she thinks.

While volunteering at the Iditarod Sled Dog Race, Marie discovers that first impressions may have been false, and her attraction to Tyler is very real. But his heart belongs to someone else, leaving him with nothing to offer but friendship. Marie's been down this road before and knows how that ends. Yet, no matter how hard she works to keep from falling for Tyler, it seems she's doomed to follow her own trail once again.

Contains mature themes.

Need more of all 4 main characters of the series!

I found myself reading this book to catch glimpses of Jonah and Calla’s post-wedded bliss. And there certainly are those. But the book centered around Marie (who had pined away for Jonah for years) moving on and finding her own way and someone that would fit into her life the way that Calla fits into Jonah’s.

The story of Tyler, a heartbreaking one, is really good and the enemies-to-lover trope of how he finds himself attracted to Marie is fabulous. It is a typical trope and one that was briefly touched on in the first book with Calla and Jonah themselves being an “opposites attract” storyline so that may be where people think it’s unoriginal. But ya know most stories are!!! People have been writing books and stories for over a millennia!

Overall, it’s a great book 4 BUT I’d say Jonah and Calla’s story over the first three books was slightly better. And if the author wants to continue with the series, I’d very much add more Jonah and Calla to them with sprinkles of Marie and Tyler.

Marriage has so many trials and tribulations that a series could continue for decades and Jonah and Calla are opposite enough to give us the best of them. And there are so many lessons to learn from such a story.

I am a director/writer/producer. I have written a bit for AAA video games like the JEDI series and The Last of Us and many more that I’ve had a very small hand in. So, I’d very much love to turn this series into a trilogy of movies. And as such I wonder who we’d love to see play Jonah and Calla???

Running Wild

I did not like Marie at first, but this book changed my perspective of her. I am glad she got her happy ending.
In case you are wondering, there are several appearances from Jonah and Calla.
The narrator almost made me return the book, but I stuck it out.

Loved it!

I loved getting to know Marie and really liked her! The story was realistic and kept my attention throughout.
This book really needed an epilogue though! I hope we get more books from K A Tucker set in this Alaskan world.

I love this world!! K.A Tucker did it again!

When I saw that this story was going to follow Marie I didn’t know if I was going to like it but the character build up was perfect. I hope we get more books in this world!

Waited so long...

I couldn't wait to continue the Wild Series, and hopefully it's not over yet ! Lots more open ends for sequel possibilities ! That said, I was concerned when I learned it was a different narrator. I was used to my beloved characters sounding the same. I was right in being concerned. Callie Dalton is great, BUT what in the world was up with the constant changes in pitch ? Very annoying and every time "Jonah" spoke all I could picture was Aiden Graves from The Wall Of Winnipeg and Me. (one of my all time faves by the way). Ugh, I did love this story though WAY more than I expected to.

Hopeful for yet another Wild series!

Good continuation of the the Wild story. Parts of this story were long but then ending leaves you with wanting more. I do miss Calla and Jonah and their story but all characters were featured. The story needs to continue!

Great story about Love, Iditarod Dogs and Alaska

Narration was really good except when they edited in add ons as Callie Dalton had a horrible cold and you could tell the difference in the segments. It took away from the timing of the narration. Couldn’t they wait until she was better?

The story was really good. I am into the Iditarod and Alaska since we did got to ride with the dogs and the Mushers while we were there. I’m sure this storyline would still be interesting even if you didn’t know anything about the iditarod.
She was an Alaskan Veterinarian so you have to figure in all the Dogs care. I really loved it all.

Great Love Story and their coming together was really a slow burn. Very true to life and real how Tyler had struggles letting himself fall for Marie.

Great ending to this series.
