Blurb

From the international bestselling author of The Simple Wild comes Forever Wild, a novella that continues the story of Calla’s journey to the Alaskan wild and a life she never imagined for herself. 

The holiday season is upon Calla and Jonah, and with the mistletoe and gingerbread comes plenty of family drama. Jonah is bracing himself for two weeks with a stepfather he loathes, and while Calla is looking forward to her mother and Simon’s arrival, she dreads the continued pressure to set a date for their wedding … in Toronto. Add in one bullheaded neighbor’s unintentional meddling and another cantankerous neighbor’s own family strife, and Christmas in Trapper’s Crossing will be anything but simple.

 


Review

5 stars!

I love this world so much, and was beyond thrilled when I learned that K.A. Tucker was revisiting Calla and Jonah with a Christmas novella, and it was everything I wanted!

This book is definitely not a standalone, and should be read after The Simple Wild and Wild at Heart.  And beware this review will contain some spoilers for earlier books in the series.

Calla and Jonah are settled in the small town of Trapper’s Crossing, Alaska, happily in love and preparing for their families to arrive for the holidays. It’s a busy time, with just as much stress as there is excitement, but it’s going to be a Christmas like no other.

“I want to get married right here, right now. In Alaska, where I met you, where I fell in love with you, where I’m building a life with you.”

I freaking love these two. I loved seeing them still so loved-up and passionate for each other. They still tease and banter, they’re blissfully functional, and there’s a beautiful chemistry between them that makes them a joy to read.

Characters that we have come to know and love in this series appear, and there is some drama to deal with, but it works to build the story and create a fantastic little read that I just adored. Roy’s story in particular was a real highlight (I love that grumpy old bugger).

It was the ending that I didn’t know I needed for Calla and Jonah, and even though I was so very satisfied with how it finished, I would have loved it to be longer because I wanted more and wasn’t ready to let go.

I am so freaking excited that KA Tucker is going to continue on in this world with books for other characters, and I can’t wait for more.

So much love for these characters, I loved this one! 5 stars!
