I felt a hint of an emotional punch, but I didn’t feel as much as I would have liked. I actually liked the ending a lot, it didn’t end the way I thought it would! I didn’t like Jonah, though. But maybe it’s because I don’t find the bearded hulk type attractive? He seemed incredibly juvenile to me (actually, their whole courtship was very juvenile and at times I thought I was reading a YA book about high schoolers, not a 26 and 31 year old grown woman and man). Felt there was a bit of a controlling streak there, telling her she didn’t look good with makeup and literally hiding her things because apparently, she had been living life all wrong and he knew better than her. I hate that trope. And honestly? He was quite mean to her when they first met. Not my kind of guy. I didn’t feel much in terms of chemistry between the two, just that they got together because of proximity. Story is told in first person from first Calla’s mom’s, and then Calla’s perspective in first person.

HTML: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 twenty-six, 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 occasionalâ??dear Godâ??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, Jonahâ??the quiet, brooding, and proud Alaskan pilot who keeps her father's charter plane company operationalâ??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 friendshipâ??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 triedâ??and failed atâ??years ago. It's a simple truth that turns out to be not Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
