(Which you should read before reading this one!)

★★★★★
5 Stars

From the internationally best-selling author of The Simple Wild comes the continuation of a woman’s journey to Alaska and a life she never imagined for herself.

Calla Fletcher returns to Toronto a different person, struggling to find direction and still very much in love with the rugged bush pilot she left behind. When Jonah arrives on her doorstep with a proposition she can’t dismiss, she takes the leap and rushes back to Alaska to begin their exciting future together.

But Calla soon learns that even the best intentions can lead to broken promises, and that compromise comes with a hefty pricea log cabin in interior rural Alaska that feels as isolating as the western tundra.

With Jonah gone more than he’s home, one neighbor who insists on transforming her into a true Alaskan, and another who seems more likely to shoot her than come to her aid, Calla grapples with forging her own path. In a world with roaming wildlife that has her constantly watching over her shoulder and harsh conditions that stretch far beyond the cold, dark, winter months, just stepping outside her front door can be daunting.

This is not the future Calla had in mind, leaving her to fear that perhaps she is doomed to follow in her mother’s fleeing footsteps after all.




I hope you've all read THE SIMPLE WILD! This 2nd book is a sequel - you really should've read the first one before starting this one! It's not 100% necessary, but it would just be insane to miss out on the amazing first book!!☺

WiLD AT HEART starts four days after the first book ended.
We all remember how Jonah came to Toronto to ask Calla to come back to Alaska with him.
And she asked him for some time to think.
But of course we don't need much time - we're doing this!!
We're moving to Alaska to be with our hot angry yeti!
But of course going from being a spoiled city girl to living in the Alaskan wilderness is not the easiest thing for our Calla.
Will she give up and go back home to be spoiled in Toronto by her mom and step-dad Simon?

READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT ☺



Ugh! I loved it!
I was sooo looking forward to reading this book. Even though I didn't really need it. I was pretty happy with the first book. I could've lived with that ending. But of course we always want more - I always want endless epilogues. And that is kind of what we get here. The MORE after THE END. The answers to questions we ask ourselves after almost every book we read! We never get that! I just love that Kathleen wrote this!
Only it's not this one little happily ever after epilogue. Not yet at least. We have a long way to go and lots of problems and arguments and animals and whatnots to overcome until there might be a HEA on the horizon!
But the reader loves every single word of Calla and Jonah's journey to that happy end!
I just adored this book! I felt like being right there with Calla. Decorating their house, harvesting strawberries, chasing or running from goats and dogs and bugs and bears!
But of course we also know that Jonah can't be with her 24/7 - he has a new company to run and he's gone a lot. Will Calla survive alone in a place full of bears and crumpy neighbors and their wolf-dogs?
LOL! We sure hope so, because Calla & Jonah just belong together. But we don't want either of them to give up too much of their hopes and dreams to get that happily ever after.

AMAZING ROMANCE!
It was like a Calla-diary or one of her blog posts. We get lots of Jonah & romance too, but of course we focus mainly on Calla and how she survives her new life with new challenges and new friends and frenemies.  It wasn't the Bianca-cries-all-through-the-book thingy like the first one - but I did shed some tears! ☺ Some readers might've hoped for something a little different, but I really loved reading this. It was just so very beautiful. I never wanted it to end!

OK - that's it - what more should I say?! If you read and loved the first book - you will definitely read and love this one and if you haven't read the first one...what are you doing reading this review anyway?! ☺

WiLD AT HEART was such a beautiful Alaska romance!
A  what-happens-after-The-End  kind of encore for all fans of Calla & Jonah! And I loved every single moment of it!
Run to your nearest amazon for your own Jonah - this one is mine!



P.S. ... the end of this second book ... while amazing and beautiful ... wasn't really all that endish!
I hope our darling author will one day write a third book!
The Simple Wild
Wild At Heart
Calla, Yeti & Baby = Wild³?
LOL!
I want more. It was perfect, but I still want more!
