Summerfield Saddler
Penelope Janu
Reviewed by Helen
I am always thrilled when there is another Penelope Janu release, I do love her stories, they are filled with emotion, wonderful characters and her descriptions take to the setting and make me feel part of the story and this one is no different a fabulous story that takes in environmental issues, come along and meet Mac and Kit you are sure to enjoy.
Mary Mackenzie Henry, Mac to most people lives a quiet life in Summerfield with her beloved Grandpa, Gordon Henry working as a saddler she is surrounded by her horse and her dog sadly Grandpa is not well and is living in a nursing home at the moment, she is content with the life she has with a few friends but is mostly a loner.
When she finds out that her grandfather has put in a request to a Norwegian filming team to do a documentary on the rehabilitation of the open-cut mine that Gordon and Mac played a big part in getting closed, she is stunned this will mean working in front of a camera and with a lot of people this will take her out of her comfort zone but for her Grandfather she is willing to do it but meeting Kit Thorson, scientist, film maker and adventurer takes her breath away he is like a Viking.
Kit is arrogant, bossy and sets her on edge, but this documentary has opened up the resentment closing the mine caused and when some films that her father had taken are discovered this adds to the mystery and Mac is determined to uncover the truth but Kit is also determined to keep her safe but although vulnerable Mac is also strong and determined to ensure that this documentary goes ahead for Gordon Henry and the people of Summerfield.
Mac and Kit are so very different but the chemistry between them from their first meeting explodes on the pages of this beautiful romance a push and pull journey for them both fighting their feelings while doing their best to get this documentary done, hikes and a gorgeous setting add to the story as do the wonderful characters that make this story fabulous, I loved Henry, Keith Urban the dog, as of course Mac and Kit. Mac has been through so much in her life, will they find the love and happiness that they deserve and how will things work out on the documentary and the rehabilitation of the mine?
I do highly recommend this one it kept me turning the pages and feeling every emotion flowing through the characters, thank you MS Janu for another one for the keeper shelf. I loved it.
My thanks to Harlequin AU for my copy to read and review.
