It’s been awhile since I read The Simple Wild and the two books that followed, but I discovered that my love for the remote Alaska setting and its fictional residents hasn’t diminished one bit. The previous books (all 5-star reads for me) feature the romance between Calla and Jonah. Running Wild is all about Marie, the veterinarian who secretly loved Jonah. It’s a heartwarming story that doesn’t disappoint.Determined to never be the victim of unrequited love again, Marie has shied away from men, choosing to focus her energy on her struggling veterinary practice instead. She’s a strong woman with a soft heart—compassionate, assured, and supremely competent at her job. I admired how unwavering she is in her dedication to animals. Although there’s animosity between Marie and Tyler when they first meet, it doesn’t take long for them to realize they share the same devotion to dogs. Tyler is a musher—a person who drives sled dogs for sport. He’s passionate about raising and training healthy and happy huskies for dog sled racing.I’ve never given much thought to the Iditarod to be honest, but it was wonderful to be immersed in the world of dog sled racing. I was fascinated to learn just how grueling the Iditarod is and the amount of work it takes to maintain a competitive team of dogs. The dogs are basically secondary characters with individual personalities. I loved them!Despite their magnetic attraction and ease with each other, Tyler is determined not to let his friendship with Marie turn into something more. I loved how honorable and tender he is, but Tyler has issues he’s working through. It’s heartbreaking and frustrating, and I felt bad for Marie’s already bruised heart. Between the back and forth with Tyler, financial problems, and the contentious relationship with her sister, it’s amazing Marie can hold it all together.I know I’m a greedy reader, but I feel like the ending gets cut short right at the best part. An extended epilogue would have left me more satisfied, but I’m grateful for the big smile that lingered on my face. This book can technically stand on its own, but it’s more enjoyable if you’ve read the previous books. Being reunited with Calla and Jonah was an added treat. Running Wild is a winning addition to a phenomenal series.Recommended for fans of:DogsAlaskaThe IditarodVeterinarians *I received an early copy to voluntarily read and review by K.A. Tucker
