Wish You Were Here
Karly Lane
Reviewed by Helen
Karly Lane never disappoints, her stories are beautifully written with wonderful characters and awesome rural settings and the emotions fly from the pages and this one is just beautiful, we all cope with grief differently and maybe that is what has bought Reggie and Tim together, come along and meet them you are sure to be left smiling.
Reggie was bought up on a cattle farm in the New England Tablelands in New South Wales, but farming and a farm stay business was never her dream it was the dream of her brother Brent so after university Reggie moved to the UK and was doing really well in her marketing job, but when a call comes through from Brent Reggie is on the first flight home, her family needs her after a car accident and soon the loss of her dear brother sees Reggie swapping heals for boots and loving it.
Tim has resigned from his army position, he has done a few stints in Afghanistan and he has just lost another of his mates they were like family, his only family when he takes off to the country to try and work himself out, he sees an add about cabins and fly fishing, this is something him and his mates had planned to do together maybe he will give it a go, peace and quiet and time to think. But meeting the Macleod family, especially Reggie makes him see that there is a future.
Neither were looking for love and commitment but it found them in the most beautiful of ways they talked and fell in love and overcome their grief together, I cried happy tears for them as I got to know them, as they learnt to put the past behind them and look to the future, yes there were a few ups and downs to contend with, a bit of drama, which in the end really let Tim and Reggie see their future together.
I loved this one from start to finish and I do highly recommend it.
My thanks to Allen & Unwin for my copy to read and review.
