5 Stars
I’m pretty sure the last time someone was as shocked as I am about a newfound love for Alaska was when Pharrell met Maggie Rogers . . . .
(Is that reference too obscure? Probably. Here’s a little Boob Tube Clickity Click so you can see what I’m talking ‘bout (it’s real long so skip the first couple minutes).)
2019 is the year Kelly has the Pharrell face because this is the THIRD book I’ve read based in Alaska. If you’re keeping tabs, they have all been winners and all from different genres. I highly recommend The Great Alone if you’re looking for a deeper storyline or The Smell of Other People’s Houses if you’re a fan of great YA. The Simple Wild is getting all the starzzzzzzzz because I wanted a romance (but not necessarily something porny), I wanted it to be different than others in its genre and I wanted it to completely suck me in and help me pass the time while doing housework and laundry *barf*
The story here is about Calla who has returned to Alaska after 24 years upon hearing her father is battling cancer. Calla’s life has always been in Toronto so she’s not so keen on spending more than a week or so with dear ol’ dad . . . . .
Her beliefs are solidified upon meeting her dad’s douchey right-hand-man Jonah . . . .
Who is the epitome of everything her momma ever told her about Alaskan “sky cowboys” . . . . .
Of course they fall in love, right? Right. But they do it in such a great hate to love trope that I couldn’t stop smiling . . . .
“So, if you’re charming, what would Bobbie consider an asshole?”
“There’s one right now.” I follow his nod and find a reflection of myself in the mirror.
Why don’t I read more K.A. Tucker? I think this is the third book of hers I’ve picked up and I liked them all. Why does Atria continually torture me and deny me their ARCs knowing I have a failing brain and won’t remember to request them from the library on their release date? Inquiring minds want to know.
