Wildly, Boldly: Return to Culloden Moor Book 4
Sophie Marlow believes in ghosts. Wyatt Boone believes she’s out of her mind.
When Sophie lands in Skagway, Alaska, to chase down ghost stories and prove her theory that the aurora borealis is basically a paranormal hotspot, she expects a few bumps along the way. What she doesn’t expect is Wyatt—a park ranger who’s about as warm and welcoming as the glaciers. Wyatt has exactly zero patience for Sophie’s ghost-hunting antics or her belief that his neighbor, Darrow O’Reilly, used to be a ghost (even if Darrow swears it’s true).
Wyatt thinks Sophie is eccentric at best, delusional at worst. Sophie thinks Wyatt could use a lesson in lightening up. But between northern lights, ghost tours, and a few too-close-for-comfort encounters with Alaskan wildlife, their mutual irritation starts to thaw into something they’re both reluctant to attraction.
She’s chasing ghosts. He’s avoiding feelings. But in Alaska, anything can happen—including love.
Wildly, Boldly is a heartwarming, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy that proves love can be as wild and bold as Alaska itself.

Great main characters BUT....
Diane Darcy is slipping in the details.....
Amazing mainline story, but this is a spin-off!! It's not about one of The 79 but one of his wife's brothers. She also kept referring to Darrow as IRISH?!?!?! Ummm, Excuse me, but the Culloden Battlefield is in SCOTLAND, and the warriors are all Scottish!!! Darrow even discusses growing up in SCOTLAND!! How did none of her team catch that detail??? I have read both of her books in this continuation and have not been impressed. LL Muir's are much better.

Another delightful romance
I've been to Skate at and it is as beautiful as described. I've been rereading the Culloden ghost story associated with these new tales. The story plot and writing pretty much follows the original. Names and occupation are changed to protect the story. 😃
The ghost angle and pod casting was a clever twist.

Wildly, Boldly: book 4
A ghost Hunter and a nonbeliever saw spirits dancing in the northern lights in the aurora season. As much as they were not to be compatible somehow they sure fell in love.

Great
I loved this story. Though it technically has one of the 79 featured in the storyline, it's more about two people who meet, fall in love, and marry to have their own future play out in Alaska. Wonderful.

Heartwarming
Such a lovely romance. The setting in Alaska is wonderful. I found myself reliving my own Alaska vacation and the absolute beauty of the country. Alaska is a picturesque state full of wonders and old folklore.

Good read from Diane Darcy. Kind of like this revisiting of the 79, although these stories aren't really about them. I liked these characters and the plot. Looking forward to reading more in this series.

enjoyable
A fun and entertaining story. A great idea to have the “79” interact with new characters after they “started living” again.
