Where the Wattles Bloom
Amy Andrews
Amy Andrews is one of my favourite authors and I love that she can take me on a journey to a HEA with awesome characters and across multiple genres and I loved this one meeting Rowena and Lachlan was emotional, moving and fun.
Neonatal intensive care nurse Rowena Murray needs a break from her high pressure and stressful job in a Sydney hospital, after a breakdown and three months of therapy she is now ready to ease back into work she loves her job and wants to get back to it but a stint in the small country town of Acacia Junction is what she hopes will get her back on track. She is here for six months and six months only.
Sheep farmer Lachlan McCabe has been a police officer, divorced twice but being back on the family sheep farm Blairgowrie has suited him really well being with his grandmother Reggie and her partner Albert is the best, he has no intention of any sort of relationship again been there done that but when he comes across a woman on the side of the road into town saving the life of one of the locals then maybe life is about to change.
The pull between these two adults who have both been burnt by what was supposed to be HEA twice is something that they cannot ignore for long but a proposed one night only could be just what they need, but that night leaves consequences could Ro and Lachy find a second chance for a HEA with a miracle to go with it?
I loved this one from start to finish, it is a beautifully written story with so many fabulous characters not only Lachlan and Rowena but Reggie and Albert and then there is the close knit community that all bring this story together, yes there were tears happy and otherwise But I would highly recommend this one to any reader who loves a good rural romance, thank you Amy Andrews for another awesome read, I loved Lachy so very much.
My thanks to HQ Fiction and Netgalley for my digital copy to read and review.
