S E Gilchrist
Reviewed by Helen
This is the start of a new series, and I love books in a series and I also love a book set in the outback, and this was a great story which acknowledges the drought and what it does to the people working so hard to make a living, to make matters worse the local cotton mill closes down and this starts a trigger for greed, danger but also love and heeling, sit back and enjoy visiting Mindalby and getting to know the people that live there as I did.
Sasha has been through a tragedy and is recovering slowly and hopes that a short stint in the country will help her but there is another reason she takes a job at the local cotton mill to investigate and try to prove that her uncle is innocent of embezzlement, but when the cotton mill closes down and is put into liquidation all hell breaks loose with accusations and insinuations, but it also brings her in contact with local cotton farmer Cole, instant attraction has never happened to Sasha before but there are things that she must keep to herself as she gets closer to this fabulous family man will he and his family be what she needs to feel happy again?
Cole is a single Dad working the cotton farm with his grandfather, times are very hard with the drought and he does some odd work at the cotton mill and when he is shut out and does not look like he will be paid the worry begins. He like most of the town attend meetings and here he meets Sasha the accountant at the mill and a lot of blame is sent her way but Cole feels differently he feels a pull towards this beautiful strong woman, but he also knows she is keeping things from him.
This story takes in the plight of depression that is a real danger in the outback these days and MS Gilchrist has written it beautifully it is a moving story that will have you smiling. I loved Cole what a hero he is so caring and Sasha what she has been through and still going through with threats against her and danger getting closer she is still strong enough to help other people no matter what is thrown at her, and through danger and hurt love shines and this couple and the town will go forward. I highly recommend this one and I am looking forward to visiting Mindalby again soon.
4/5 stars for a great story
