Synopsis
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 price—a 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.

Review
A few reviews I read mentioned they didn’t think Wild at Heart was necessary after The Simple Wild, but I loved it.
Calla is back in Alaska with Jonah. I love these two together. They define opposites attract. I felt like, even more than in the first book Calla was put to the test. I felt like Jonah strong-armed her a little in this book. While it was for her own good, I thought he expected too much of Calla. I felt like she was making way more sacrifices than he was.
As with the first book, I did enjoy all of the side characters in this book! They were such a great addition to the story and certainly added some comic relief to the story. I also liked how they helped Calla find her place in Alaska.
Though I was a little mad at Jonah, this was a great read, and I loved revisiting these characters!
