It was a delightful Christmas story with plenty of surprises and scenes with characters you’ve come to love. While, i do not recommend this story be read before the first two novels, I hope fans of the series pick it up. Of course, we will see more of them in the next book, Running Wild which will share Marie’s story. Tucker delivered all the feels and gave us a wonderful conclusion to Calla and Jonah’s story. We get a scare that reminded us all of what is truly important. I love the townsfolk they have befriended in Trapper’s Crossing, and the author makes us feel a part of the community. Tucker’s characters are realistic, fully developed and will steal your heart. I loved being a part of the festivities and seeing events unfold as decisions are made. Jonah keeps bumping heads with his mom’s husband and neighbors offer all kinds of advice for the nuptials. Both want it to take place in their home territories. I love this series from the picturesque setting to their cantankerous neighbor who has stolen all of our hearts.Ĭalla hasn’t set a date yet for their wedding and the moms have all sorts of ideas.

Both Calla and Jonah’s parents, step-parents will arrive, as well as dear friends. It's a simple truth that turns out to be not so simple after all.We are back in Trapper’s Crossing Alaska, and the holidays are upon us.

It would be foolish of her to kindle a romance, to take the same path her parents tried-and failed at-years ago. As his undercurrent of disapproval dwindles, it's replaced by friendship-or perhaps something deeper? But Calla is not in Alaska to stay and Jonah will never leave. As time passes, she unexpectedly finds herself forming a bond with the burly pilot. Jonah is probably right, but Calla is determined to prove him wrong. And he's clearly waiting with one hand on the throttle to fly this city girl back to where she belongs, convinced that she's too pampered to handle the wild. While she struggles to adjust to this rugged environment, Jonah-the unkempt, obnoxious, and proud Alaskan pilot who helps keeps her father's charter plane company operational-can't imagine calling anywhere else home. She braves the roaming wildlife, the odd daylight hours, the exorbitant prices, and even the occasional-dear God-outhouse, all for the chance to connect with her father: a man who, despite his many faults, she can't help but care for. But when Calla learns that Wren’s days may be numbered, she knows that it's time to make the long trip back to the remote frontier town, to attempt to fix their estranged relationship. Calla never looked back, and at twenty-six, a busy life in Toronto is all she knows. Calla Fletcher wasn’t even two when her mother took her and fled the Alaskan bush, unable to handle the isolation of the extreme, rural lifestyle, leaving behind Calla's father, Wren Fletcher, in the process.
