Safe Haven at Wagtail Ridge

Reviewed by Helen
Another fabulous visit to Wagtail Ridge, this is a heart-warming and beautiful story in a lovely setting with wonderful characters, come along and meet Vet, Anna Prentiss and RFS firefighter Justin Turner, I am sure you will find it hard to put this one down.
Anna moved to Wagtail Ridge three years ago after she was badly scarred in an accident, here she starts a new life and feels OK walking around town and helping animals but she knows she will never find love but the Knitting club matchmakers have a different opinion.
When firefighter Justin arrives in town with his identical twin brother Ben to train volunteers for the RFS and help protect the town form bushfires he meets the local vet Anna and he doesn’t see her scars he sees a beautiful and caring woman, but he and Ben also run into their estranged mother, Carol know as the Koala Lady, Justin wants to mend the bridge between them but Ben is still not happy with his mother he cannot let the past go.
Justin asks Anna out to dinner and the it does not go well but there is no way he is going to give up one her and soon they are opening up to each other and getting closer, it is looking like there will be a future for them but when a bushfire comes very close to Wagtail Ridge lives are in danger as well as properties, will everyone be safe?
I did love this story I loved Anna and Justin and they both deserve love and happiness, the matchmakers in town have got it right again, MS Gover explained the way bushfires rage in the dry countryside so well, I do highly recommend this one, a truly lovely story, I am sure the reader will be left feeling very happy.
My thanks to HQ Fiction and Netgalley for my copy to read and review.
