Butterfly Hunter by Julie Bozza
4.0
A definite 4.5*, a definite reread. Loved this story of Nicholas and Dave - gentle Englishman and outdoorsy Aussie.
It is a gentle story in that there is no angst, just a development of the relationship between the two men from client/guide to friends to being together to being in a relationship and in love. I loved the prose - 'His penitent hands' standing out amongst some lovely phrases.
The outback is not over played but is a key part and the mysterious waterhole is a bit mystical and fits the Dreamtime elements. The secondary characters were very good, though of them all I didn't get a good feel for Denise.
Off to read the next book immediately!
