Gum Tree Valley

 Gum Tree Valley

Mandy Magro



Reviewed by Helen


I do love a good rural romance and this one is so good, Mandy Magro does them so well and this one packed with so many emotions, filled with heartbreak, it is also very heartwarming, when Sammie ran away to England eleven years ago to start a new life, she never thought that she would return home after all these years and find that friendships are still strong, but how will her life turn out now after everything that has happened?

Samantha Evans is a totally different person than the one who fled tragedy and heartbreak when saying goodbye to the people she loved, she is now a business woman and just about divorced after more heartbreak, but when her bestie Shea wants her to return to Gum Tree Valley and be her maid of honour she cannot refuse.

It is not long before she is falling into her old self but meeting up with Connor Gunn sets her heart pounding, he is even more handsome than when she left and there is a spark but there is also a lot of water under the bridge between them, could there be a future for them?

Connor has never forgotten the love of his life Sammie, a lot was left untold when she ran all those years ago and there are some things that Sammie needs to know about the past and things that may affect the future, but he wants her so badly will they be able to overcome the past for the future?

This is a beautifully told story, it is very emotional and there is a lot to work out between Sammie and Connor before they get to their HEA, I loved the setting there is nothing like being on a rural property and besides Sammie and Connor the other characters in this story add so much. I do highly recommend this one, there were sad and happy tears from me 

My thanks to Harlequin AU for my copy to read and review.
