The story engaged me, helped along by the romance of the setting in a tiny outback town.
The love story was no more - or less - than the attraction of 2 sets of characters, all of whom needed saving in their own way. It was very Hallmark - I don't think there was a kiss till the very end and then it was not part of the storyline or reader's experience.
It was a little too obviously tied up in the last few minutes of the novel and I always find that a cheat - it's what comes after, that creates a more intimate kind of challenge for the characters. The HEA seems so manipulated and formulaic at the end that if I were a cynic I would say it was only there to qualify the novel for a romance classification, to capitalise on the biggest selling book category.
This is the story of Adam and Jess, and Jack and Ellen. They are all well drawn, likeable and deserving of a lucky break in the happiness stakes.
I enjoyed the trip to the Birdsville Races, which I've never been to and am quite happy to attend only as an armchair traveller.… (altro)
