Clare's Review
Tessa, desperate to escape the troubles or the past runs from New York as far as she can get. She takes a job as a nurse on an Australian station in the middle of nowhere. Things get off to a bad start when she mistakes BJ - the owners son - for the manager. There to care for the owners dying wife, Tessa slowly falls in love with the station and the annoying BJ. BJ finds Tessa’s city ways and fear of everything outback amusing and takes pleasure in winding her up. However with the station in deep financial trouble, the growing attraction between them is threatened.
A charming story with a setting so vivid is whisks you away to the Australian outback. The characters leap from the page, pulling you in. The time jumps, however, threw me and I flicked back several pages thinking I’d missed a crucial part of the plot. I knew that part was coming, but to be cheated of it like that robbed the story of something and left me disappointed. The end too, seemed a slight cop out almost as if it was oh I reached my word count so lets wrap it up.
All in all a good read. Lots of action from calving and bull riding rodeos, to city girls thrown in at the deep end. If you like cowboy stories, this is one not to miss.
