Running Wild

I love the KA Tucker's writing style, and I immediately fell into the Alaskan world of dog mushing! Marie, the local vet, is getting older and after a long time love of her best friend, realizes time is ticking away. Little does she realize that her time may be just around the corner. Tyler recently moved into town, the rookie dog musher and when a dog is brought into Marie's office, she is ready to tear his arms off! This dog is the epitome of poor care, and she is ready to let him know what she thinks. Until she meets him. And sparks fly. Our story begins at that point, a slow burn, a difficult past, a goal to win, family drama, you name it, Tucker brings it all together and let me fall into their story. From start to finish, I was captured, learning about the sport and enjoying the dogs! I love getting to know Marie's family along with the sibling drama, the family business and where the future may lead. The small town gossip, and the jealousy that builds between competitors also added a layer to the story. It's an amazing listen and with the incredible imagery, I could see myself right there with all of them, living in Alaska! Callie Dalton is a fantastic narrator, and with the many characters she has in this book is able to create a world that is easy to enjoy. Going from male to female and giving each person their own voice is daunting, but she does it with ease, giving all the feels and a town that is packed with all kinds of personalities. I enjoyed her performance and am always excited when I see she is narrating!

I found this to be a really good listen. It was a little hard for me to get into in the beginning, but once the plot really started going I enjoyed it. It's very angsty and you really feel for both the FMC and MMC. I only wish there was a little more romantic interaction between them!
