Absolutely got swept away in this gorgeous debut. I l don’t think I’ve read anything like it. I loved Beth, adore Noah and Ellie, really appreciated the craft group…I was just absolutely there for this finding yourself/ discovering your place in the world story. It’s also made me think differently about disability diagnosis…aren’t we all […]

Absolutely adored Cockatoo Cove. Loved Fergus and Maggie, loved the small town, the farms, the horses… the everything about it! Perfect. Every Maya Linnell seems to be my absolute favourite. I just loved getting Fergus’ story in this one, he’s been a side character in the Limestone Coast novels for too many and I knew
What a great read. I loved this one. I love early colonial stories! Love learning about our early colonial past via a story and this one had me travelling down the Murray, riding to Echuca, fleeing from flood and a violent husband..what a great tale! So much damper and tea!! Loved learning more about the

A Penelope Janu is an autobuy for me. I love her rural fiction; so much more than romance (although there’s plenty of that…) I love the strong female characters, the small town communities, the environmental issues, the mystery to solve, the nuanced family dynamics….they are the whole package for me and I love them. The Summerfield

I always knew I was going to love this one; I am such a Penelope Janu fan…but I’d accidentally been saving Sunshine through the Rain for a rainy day,..Penelope Janu is an auto buy for me and I have no regrets; how silly that library books should be the priority…I knew I’d love Primrose and

So so so grateful for Harlequin for an ARC of Head for the Hills..of course it’s wonderful! It’s small town, it’s got so much great South Australian eating, a cast of interesting characters that I loved from the outset, it’s got a planned new hotel that may or may not be good for the town..it’s

Perfect case of right book right now…This was exactly what I felt like reading, it is a rural romance full of wonderful small town personalities and all the adventure you can expect from a palaeontologist and helicopter pilot love story. I loved that Jo is a single mum, I loved that Hux had a whole
I am a huge Leonie Kelsall fan, I know I have said it before, but I just love knowing who it is who will be working at the local IGA, what the names of the businesses are, who these characters neighbours are.. and even whether they’re getting along with them at the moment or not…I

I was lucky enough to volunteer alongside Liz at the NBRF 2022 festival. I knew even then that she would be a great author; I could feel it in my bones. So when she said she had written the Good Woman’s Guide to Making Better Choices I was so excited to read it! I had

I LOVE Eva Scott’s rural romances, I was ecstatic when I received an early copy of Home to Echidna Lane in the mail. I immediately settled on in and devoured it. It’s not just the armchair travel (I’m yet to travel to Tasmania, but am definitely going now I’ve read this novel) and it’s not
