Running Wild by K.A. Tucker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Summary from GoodReads
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.

REVIEW
I received an e-ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.
I really loved going back to Alaska! Well...through the pages of a book at least and especially to revisit the amazing characters of K.A. Tucker!
We finally get Marie's story and through her voice, we found a deeper meaning to her feelings and how she actually felt through the different books. She is a vet and loves dogs but mostly she has a kind heart. When new musher Tyler comes to town to participate in the annual musher marathon they will start to get closer to each other and also deal with Marie's troubling family dynamics and Tyler's past.
I am a sucker for second chance stories and especially for characters who feel like they do not belong anywhere and fear they will be alone. In Marie's case, she spent yeat pinning over someone who never loved her more than a friend and now with Tyler she hopes that she'll have this chance.
This was a beautifully written book. K.A. Tucker knows how to make you travel through her books and I loved every second of reading this small gem.
