Calla Fletcher wasn't even 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 Calla learns that Wren’s days may be numbered, she 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 occasional—dear God—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 rugged environment, Jonah—the unkempt, obnoxious, and proud Alaskan pilot who helps keep her father’s charter plane company operational—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. Soon, she finds herself forming an unexpected bond with the burly pilot. As his undercurrent of disapproval dwindles, it’s replaced by friendship—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 tried—and failed at—years ago. It’s a simple truth that turns out to be not so simple after all.

     I have been wanting to read this book for a while and I am kicking my own ass for not having picked it up sooner.

     Calla's story was one full of heartwarming and heartbreaking moments that had me glued to the pages from beginning to end. I was surprised by many things and not so by others but I enjoyed every minute of this book. I love the writing style and characters.

     Calla and Jonah were hilarious a lot of the time and I felt the awkwardness and the bonding process between Wren and Calla. I really have no proper words to describe how much I enjoyed this book and I wish I can forget it just so I can read it all over again and experience the emotions like the first time.

     I will be definitively looking for more of this author's work and I highly recommend that you pick up this book.
