A short sweet rural romance.
City girl Emma Johnson has moved out to rural Kurrajong Crossing to find a simpler life from the craziness she has left behind in the city. Bad romance? Done and over. Hectic crazy life? Not an option any longer since simple life is what is needed to heal the body and soul. Living in a place with land around it and no one nearby? Check. Lifelong fear of cows? Working on that issue.
Dr. Gabe Jameson is the local vet and also a cattleman, plus a gentleman. He is willing to help out Emma with repairs on her older in need of love house and help her get over her fear of cows. A baby calf sometimes needs some special feeding and care and who better to help the calf than Emma?
Emma and Gabe are aware of the local betting pool on which local bachelor will get the first date with the beautiful new woman in the small town. New people in a small rural town, especially single women, are always the topic du jour for a bit. And the men in the local pub have set up a betting pool as too which of them will get the first date with Emma. The betters include the town flirt and one of the older bachelors in town. Gabe though is not a part of the betting pool. Emma hears about the betting pool and decides to help set the "boys" on their bums. She accepts a date from one of the older men in the pub who threw in his name just because. She definitely puts everyone on their bum with this move, including Gabe.
The relationship between Emma and Gabe builds from friendship to trust and love. It is a sweet story set in a rural Australian town and the characters in the town are a part of the story. It is the perfect escape from a hectic day at work or to relax into on a quiet lazy afternoon.
I have found myself liking each of the novels I read written by Dakota Harrison so I look forward to reading more of her writing in the future.
I did receive a copy of this novel in advance from Tule Publishing in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.
