Running Wild

Simple Wild, Book 4

By: K. A. Tucker

Narrated by: Callie Dalton

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.

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.

Love the ending.

I almost didn’t finish because I felt like there was a lot of unnecessary info dump. However, I quickly realize that this information build on my knowledge and I’m grateful for the information. It took the ending for Tyler to get it together. I wish we saw more like a wedding, raising their family but I guess if there’s another book, we will get an update. Not my favorite book from the author but I enjoyed the ending.

Love this Series!

KA Tucker does a great job sucking you into Marie’s story while weaving in past characters like Jonah and Calla. This is a story that I think a lot of women can relate to. Will I or won’t I find love!?

Slow burn but overall a nice story

This wasn't one of my favourites from this author but over all it was a nice story.
Very slow burn but you felt such anticipation in the romance.
The conclusion seemed rushed though and I found myself wishing there was a grand plot line that pushed them together. Instead it was more Tyler just decided he was ready. In real life that would be the best option but reading a book I wanted more angst and chasing from him. I felt sorry for Marie that she had spend most of her life waiting for a guy and still had that with Tyler. 🌶️ was a little more than the others in this story but not a whole lot of it.

✨My Review:
I was so confused starting this book because I didn’t read the synopsis and just started listening to the book and soon realized it was a story about Marie, Jonah’s best friend, and not about Jonah and Calla. 🤪

When I stopped being confused I soon got into the story and couldn’t stop listening to it. Marie is a veterinarian who is secretly in love with Jonah and when Jonah marries Calla, Marie swears to not put herself in that position again and dives into working and taking over her dad’s Veterinarian business. She soon meets Tyler who is a musher from Finland who races dogs. Their relationship starts off on the wrong foot but can they repair it?

It really sucks that this series is over! I thoroughly enjoyed all the books and overall give the whole Simple Wild series 5 ⭐️! If you haven’t read these you should!

Love

I absolutely love K.A.’s books this series has been super great I really enjoy the narration Callie does a fantastic job it’s very catching ❤️

Good story

Fooled me I thought it was going to be the continue love story of Calli, but no it’s another romance twist.

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.

NEED MORE!!

Do not leave us just like that! This cannot be the end of the series! I didn’t like Marie at first now she is one of my favs!!

Love the love story

I just loved the modern day story line! Makes me excited for the next series
