I'm also going to admit that doing this #romanceathon has really managed to broaden my horizons when it comes to romance books and I can see now that I've still held some prejudice, even though I do read romance regularly. This was definitely an unexpected romance book, so much so that I'm a little hesitant to clump this into that category. I think this might be one of those cases where people with different histories would maybe react in different ways to this plotline, but if you're a person who wasn't moved by it, I don't want to know you. I probably wouldn't have been physically able to finish this if it weren't for the audiobook. Tears and snot and difficulties breathing were involved. I'm not gonna lie, I cried pretty much though the last 20% or so of this book. But the romance on it's own was "only" a solid 4 stars. I did think the romance was fun, and I actually think it had a really good resolution for a romance story. Possibly because I went in expecting an entertaining hate-to-love romance and got something so much more. It's a simple truth that turns out to be not so simple after all. It would be foolish of her to kindle a romance, to take the same path her parents tried-and failed at-years ago. 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. As time passes, she unexpectedly finds herself forming a bond with the burly pilot. Jonah is probably right, but Calla is determined to prove him wrong. 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. While she struggles to adjust to this new subarctic environment, Jonah-the quiet, brooding, and proud Alaskan pilot who keeps her father's charter plane company operational-can't imagine calling anywhere else home. 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. 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. Calla never looked back, and at twenty-six, a busy life in Toronto is all she knows. 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. 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.
