About this listen

From the internationally bestselling author of The Simple Wild comes the story of a woman at a crossroads in her life, struggling between the safe route and the one that will only lead to more heartbreak.

Veterinarian Marie Lehr knows unrequited love all too well after pining for her best friend, only to watch him marry another woman. It's a mistake she will never make again, especially not when she can practically hear the clock ticking on her childbearing years.

The trouble is, she can't seem to find anyone who appeals to her even a fraction as much as that burly bush pilot did. Competitive musher Tyler Brady certainly doesn't, especially not after the heated altercation with the handsome but arrogant, spiteful man.

Or so she thinks.

While volunteering at the Iditarod Sled Dog Race, Marie discovers that first impressions may have been false, and her attraction to Tyler is very real. But his heart belongs to someone else, leaving him with nothing to offer but friendship. Marie's been down this road before and knows how that ends. Yet, no matter how hard she works to keep from falling for Tyler, it seems she's doomed to follow her own trail once again.

Contains mature themes.

Running Wild

I did not like Marie at first, but this book changed my perspective of her. I am glad she got her happy ending.
In case you are wondering, there are several appearances from Jonah and Calla.
The narrator almost made me return the book, but I stuck it out.

Love the ending.

I almost didn’t finish because I felt like there was a lot of unnecessary info dump. However, I quickly realize that this information build on my knowledge and I’m grateful for the information. It took the ending for Tyler to get it together. I wish we saw more like a wedding, raising their family but I guess if there’s another book, we will get an update. Not my favorite book from the author but I enjoyed the ending.

Love this Series!

KA Tucker does a great job sucking you into Marie’s story while weaving in past characters like Jonah and Calla. This is a story that I think a lot of women can relate to. Will I or won’t I find love!?

Slow burn but overall a nice story

This wasn't one of my favourites from this author but over all it was a nice story.
Very slow burn but you felt such anticipation in the romance.
The conclusion seemed rushed though and I found myself wishing there was a grand plot line that pushed them together. Instead it was more Tyler just decided he was ready. In real life that would be the best option but reading a book I wanted more angst and chasing from him. I felt sorry for Marie that she had spend most of her life waiting for a guy and still had that with Tyler. 🌶️ was a little more than the others in this story but not a whole lot of it.

Loved it!

I loved getting to know Marie and really liked her! The story was realistic and kept my attention throughout.
This book really needed an epilogue though! I hope we get more books from K A Tucker set in this Alaskan world.

Loved it

I loved all of this series. I’m sad it’s come to an end. I wasn’t sure I was going to like the switch in the main character, but I really came to love Marie’s story.

This is Marie’s story. We know Marie from the previous books as Jonah’s best friend, and also the woman that was in unrequited love with him.

Now we get her story: working to get over Jonah and trying to figure out where her life goes from here. As a 38yo Veterinarian working out of her family’s clinic, she still has so much more that she wants out of life.

We also meet Tyler, who has his own baggage, and a whole team of sled dogs! I really loved all the sled dog parts of this book, especially our little peek into the iconic Iditarod.

We get family drama, more time with this fun community, and of course little bits with Calla & Jonah.

I do wish that we had gotten more time with Marie & Tyler. Honestly I was shocked with how quickly the ending snuck up on me! I just felt like we didn’t really get all the closure I would have liked from Marie’s story, but maybe there’s a chance for another book? 🥺 (A girl can dream!)

This series has just been the ultimate feel good series for me, so much so that I definitely got a bit of the blues when this final book ended. Definitely looking forward to adding these books to my trophy shelf soon.

Audiobook notes: There was a different narrator than the previous books. I did not love her quite as much, but I thought she did just fine.
