A lovely anthology of stories about single dads, and them discovering love again and looking towards the future, these stories are set in beautiful small towns that are always there for each other and they are all beautifully written and are sure to please any reader.
All My Heart
Rhonda Forrest
When school teacher Tess moves to Tranquil Bay in North Queensland for a short teaching position, she never even thinks that it will change her life forever, these students are nothing like her private school students and even though they give her a hard time at first it is not long before she and them are learning together. When she meets one of her students father’s, single dad Joel and they hit it off so well and an accident brings them closer together, Tess soon discovers that being in Tranquil Bay with Joel is the place she should be.
Beautifully written, this is filled with lots of emotion as the reader gets to know Joel and Tess and the students, a beautiful town that I would love to visit.

I loved being back in Barrington, it was like coming home to family as we meet newcomer Max and his son they have been through some tough times and a new start in this beautiful town maybe just what they need.
Meggie is home from The States for her brother’s wedding, her decision to not go back is fabulous news for Angus and Rose and when Meggie meets the new locum vet Max and his gorgeous son life is suddenly making lots of sense and with so much joy.
A beautiful story, fabulous characters and a fabulous small country town that is just the place to start over.

Tina has finally returned to Australia after years in The States, this music star’s life has not been what most people would think it should be, and when she is judging a talent contest the one that shot her to fame she really starts to think about her life and future.
