Story
I ran from home to escape heartbreak, only to deliver myself into the hands of a wolf. Henry Wolf, that is. Heir to a luxury hotel chain, infamous playboy, arrogant bastard...and my new boss. Why he wants me, Abbi Mitchell - a girl who lacks experience on every front that would matter to him - as his personal assistant, I cannot fathom, especially when I keep messing up in the most spectacular way. Did I already mention he's a bastard? A beautiful, moody one, who's quick to demand, slow to apologize. And toying with me every chance he gets.

Plus, she’s stuck seeing her narcissistic ex-fiancé - a fellow VP - on the other side of her glass office wall every day.

And the moment my mother sold me to the head of the Italian Mafia, I became the one the people of Boston were warned about. The only person more feared than me in our city is the Irish Ghost.

Story
He proposed . . . and I said yes. Normally a jovial occasion for a couple in love, but this proposal has a very different feel. Because the man that I'll be calling my husband blew into town with one thing on his mind . . . to make my life a living nightmare. So why did I say yes? Well, because we both need something from each other. Namely, I want the farm land he currently owns, and he needs a wife in order to inherit his family cabin in his grandfather’s will. So as he so eloquently put it, my hand, for his land.

Publisher's Summary
City girl Calla Fletcher attempts to reconnect with her estranged father, and unwittingly finds herself torn between her desire to return to the bustle of Toronto and a budding relationship with a rugged Alaskan pilot in this masterful new romance from acclaimed author K.A. Tucker.
Calla Fletcher was two when her mother took her and fled the Alaskan wild, unable to handle the isolation of the extreme, rural lifestyle, leaving behind Calla’s father, Wren Fletcher, in the process. Calla never looked back, and at 26, a busy life in Toronto is all she knows. But when her father reaches out to inform her that his days are numbered, Calla knows that it’s time to make the long trip back to the remote frontier town where she was born.
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. While she struggles to adjust to this new subarctic environment, Jonah - the quiet, brooding, and proud Alaskan pilot who keeps her father’s charter plane company operational - can’t imagine calling anywhere else home. 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.
Jonah is probably right, but Calla is determined to prove him wrong. As time passes, she unexpectedly finds herself forming a bond with the burly pilot. 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. It would be foolish of her to kindle a romance, to take the same path her parents tried - and failed at - years ago.
It’s a simple truth that turns out to be not so simple after all.

Great story
It was a light read, I enjoyed it. I wasn’t a fan of the narrator though. She consistently mispronounced Canadian words and words in general which was a bit distracting. Not sure why they didn’t choose a Canadian narrator. Still worth the purchase, especially if you like K.A. Tucker’s other books.

Good Story, not the best performance
The story was beautifully described and written with much emotion. The performance was well articulated, but the places named in Canada were not pronounced properly. Sault St Marie is not pronounced “Salt” it’s pronounced “Sue” it would be beneficial to research places in books your performing before offending your audience.

Don’t let Americans voice Canadian books please, but the story was amazing
The misspronunciation of Loblaw was jarring enough to take me out of the story but the emotional damage this book caused made me immediately buy the rest of the series.

Pretty terrible
The narrator’s voice is grating, plus she doesn’t know how to pronounce Canada-specific words which is pretty annoying and sloppy on behalf of whoever produced this. But what is worse is the story itself. The protagonist is an absolute nightmare of selfishness and vanity, and you have to hear 500 descriptions of everyone’s physical appearance because that’s all the character cares about. I actually yelled at my phone several times listening to this before giving up 22 chapters in due to frustration. I would’ve be interested to learn more about Alaska, the father/daughter relationship, even the freaking lost hikers, but this is chapters and chapters of someone with extreme privilege saying “poor me”.

Excuse me while I book a trip to Alaska
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Wren, a charter pilot in Alaska, and big city girl, Susan, had whirlwind romance. They married and had their baby girl Calla. But her small town Alaska just wasn't cutting it for Susan and their love wasn't enough to make her stay. She was cold, lonely and depressed. Hoping Wren would follow her, Susan packed up and moved herself and Calla back to Toronto.
Calla is doing well. She has a steady boyfriend and stable career job, until suddenly she doesn't have either. Shortly after, she learns her absentee father who chose his charter company over her has cancer. No job, no boyfriend and living at home with her mom and step-dad, there is nothing stopping her from going to Alaska to get to know her father before his time is up.
While in Alaska, Calla has to get used to the simple life of little luxury while also dealing with the grumpy yeti living next door. Susan warned Calla about not falling in love with a sky cowboy from Alaska, but will she heed her mother's warning?
I loved this book. Very early on, I thought, oooh.. this is going to be a 5 star read. The only reason I took half a star off, was because I thought going into this book it was a stand alone in a series with different characters in each book - not realizing it was a duology. Now to be clear, I am NOT disappointed we are getting more Calla and Jonah in the next book. However, at the end of The Simple Wild, it did feel like their story was unfinished. I realize that is intentional to get you to want to read book 2, but I kind of wanted this book to end in a way that allowed it to stand out proudly on its own. Like, you don't have to read book two, but you want to because you can't get enough of these characters and the writing, not because their story felt unfinished. Maybe I'm being crazy and asking too much.
Regardless, I truly loved this book. Also, I have a SERIOUS appreciation for Canadian authors, because whenever non-Canadian authors write about Canadian cities or characters, they rely heavily on their travel experience or stereotypes. K.A. Tucker, made the Canadianisms genuine and seamless.
