ok.
I love Miranda Nations readings.
Rachel treasure loves a B&S ball, brotherly sacrifice and Ag college.
Loved nelly, didn’t much care for Kate.
Mostly i enjoyed her descriptions of the landscape.
Solid car and brushing teeth readings.

This is another one that I read ages ago, maybe even before I actively started using GR. I love Rachael Treasure books and I love how they're set here in Aus. I feel that I can connect to her characters and I always enjoy her novels.

Ok, I really wanted an easy marshmallow read and I got it. This one is romance with cliches galore, with our hero, Kate Webster described as a loveable larrikin who among other things get's involved in 'one of Australia's wildest rural social events - a Bachelors & Spinsters ball'. Good little page turner, although I suspect it will be quickly forgotten.

I wasn't going to write a review but I can't shake the desire to. If only to vent. As someone who knows people with FASD the inclusion of a pregnant woman binge drinking with no educational moment is reckless. Coming from a small rural community I see kids with FASD every day. The throw away line about city people being PC? As a country person I can tell you there is nothing wrong with being PC, caring about others and making sure not to alienate them? That's a good thing. The phone call when she 'pranks' someone by pretending to be a Chinese person? Racism. Oh and the scene in which felicity is sexually harassed at the B&S? That's not ok. That's 1980s bodice ripper material. Having another woman basically defend that behaviour? Not ok.
Seriously. Good work painting country people as backward.
