Fiona McArthur
Reviewed by Helen
Fiona McArthur has taken me on another fabulous trip to Lightning Ridge for a story that is moving, heartfelt and awesome, such awesome characters a story line that has everything, romance, suspense and mystery and is a must read.
Dr. Bella Grey is heart-broken after the death of her twin William and when her older brother Dr. Konrad Grey asks her to takeover the OPAL medical entre so as he and his wife Riley can take their overdue honeymoon, Bella is more than happy to do so she needs a change and just maybe this might help her investigate what happened to William in the months leading up to his death because he was in Lightning Ridge when he went missing, can she get some answers?
Lightning Ridge is very different from her home town of Port Macquarie and her city roots but she feels welcomed as soon as she arrives, meeting The Lightning Ridge Ladies and Meesha opal jeweller who she becomes friends with very easily and then there is TJ the man in black he is gruff and big but Bella finds out that he was a friend of William’s and she is more than determined to ensure that she gets under his skin until he answers her questions.
Bella does what no one else has and that is get close to TJ and together they are soon searching for answers about William and the more time they spend together the more TJ is opening up to Bella about his tragic past, could this be a turning point in both of their lives, could they find a HEA that is what they both deserve?
I loved this one so much, it truly has everything in it friendship, there is nothing like a friend to help you through tough times and Meesha and Bella have each other’s backs and the other Lightning Ridge Ladies are there as well and then the romance of what a gorgeous romance TJ is the best and Bella she shows such strength and courage throughout this story and never gives up, it is witty and had me laughing and smiling all the way through as well as tears, I highly recommend this one, a fabulous story a fabulous setting and such awesome characters, don’t miss this one.
My thanks to Netgalley and Penguin AU for my digital copy to read and review.
