Stone Cold Kiwi by Rosalind James
5.0
Once again, Rosalind James has captured her readers hearts and imagination with Stone Cold Kiwi, bringing to life her love and appreciation of New Zealand, the customs and culture in a 5 star story, set in the beautiful South Island of Aotearoa. The story of Poppy and Matiu, one a mother of 2 beautiful children (baby number 3 is about to make an appearance) and the other a doctor working in a busy hospital, Stone Cold Kiwi starts just as Poppy’s life changes, discovering her husband’s affair just after giving birth to their third child ... outside the hospital, on the grass, with Dr Matiu Te Mana quickly summoned to give a hand. What follows is an emotionally uplifting story that readers of contemporary romance will enjoy. Stone Cold Kiwi has drama, it has fun, it has love and romance, it has obstacles and dilemmas in the way of a happy ever after, and it has delightfully real and loveable characters. From
Matiu, who is deemed a player, to Poppy who has so much to give to the right person and of course the scene-stealers, Poppy’s children, Hamish who is somewhat reserved and a very responsible big brother, Olivia who is quite sassy, yet hilarious and of course new little baby Isobel. Rosalind James always captures the essence of children and how as secondary characters, they really add positively to the whole story, with their relationships with the adults in their life often a vital part of the book, and a part that I’m sure many readers can identify with and laugh out loud to, as well as well empathise with what’s going on in their heads.
Stone Cold Kiwi is ultimately a romance, a love story and its beautifully written, with both new and familiar faces making an appearance. It’s a definite 5 star read from me, as it is full of hope and persevere, of battling the odds with some steamy moments and of course some sweet moments too. Recommended for both new and familiar readers of Rosalind James books, you’ll just love this latest trip to New Zealand and all it has on offer.
