Tilly Ferguson has lived all of her life in the small Victorian country town of Rushworth, known to the residents as Rushy her family have owned and run the service station for many, many years but Tilly has always had a dream to do interior design and this was encouraged by her mother but when her mother suddenly passes away, Tilly steps up to help run the service station with her father, yes it is run down and needs a little work and Tilly does have plans but they never seem to happen, life moves along as normal, until a stranger arrives in town.

Nate Hunter arrives in town with his flashy ute and is immaculately dressed, he has worked for his grandfather’s company since leaving school and he is ready to take over the business, you see the family company plans to build a new service station right next door to the Ferguson’s but when he comes up against the very stubborn Tilly and Kevin the emu and the community that rally around Tilly, maybe it is time for Nate to re-think his life.

There is a spark between Tilly and Nate from the start but aren’t they supposed to be against each other? This is a fabulous tory that had me smiling, cheering them on and tearing up with happy tears, I loved Nate what a hero and Tilly strong determined and a bit stubborn and Kevin the emu he is so good and what can I say about the community of Rushy, Saul, Pearl they are all so good and help make this story one not to be missed, come along and see what happens with Nate and Tilly, I loved it and highly recommend it, can’t wait for book two.

My thanks to the author for my digital copy to read and review.
