 Lonely in Longreach

This is such a great story, it is fun and witty as two fifteen year old teenagers Levi and Maddie decide that it would be a good idea to play matchmaker to find love for Levi’s father Sam Costello, you will need to read this one and see how everything turns out, you are sure to be left smiling.

Maddie and Levi live on neighbouring farms and go to school together they are best friends, Maddie has plans for the future that must include Levi, but Levi is reluctant to leave his widowed father alone on the farm, Maddie comes up with this brilliant plan that she picked up watching the movie Sleepless in Seattle and decides that online dating is the way to go, surely they will find someone who is perfect for MR C and he will have fallen in love so he won’t be to angry but Levi worries all the same.

Sarah Lewis is a journalist for Sydney magazine Seriously Sydney, and is starting to feel that her nice boyfriend and she are not suited to each other, although she has always lived in Cities she has a yearning to be a country girl. She is doing a piece for the magazine about finding love in the outback and starts looking at online dating sites, she comes across the most gorgeous guy who is known by Lonely in Longreach and feels so drawn to him that she answers and they have a great connection with their emails and Sarah has decided that she needs to get out to Longreach and get her story done and meet Sam.

Sam has been widowed for eight years now and has been happy working on his farm and looking after Levi, although not looking for love it might be time he gets back out in the world, and when he meets Sarah the journalist who has been invited to talk at the school he is hit with a feeling he has never had before, like an instant joining. Levi is acting strangely these days and he puts it down to his first love interest maybe, never realizing what is happening.

This is my first Eva Scott story and wow it is a beauty, I loved it from start to finish, so well written it has lots feelings running through this one, Maddie and Levi what wonderful teenagers they made me smile a few times, Sam and Sarah well what can I say do you believe in love at first sight? Of course when the truth comes out, well things turn a little pear shaped, can Sam and Sarah work out their love for each other? This is a story that I highly recommend, a must read one for the keeper shelf.

Thank you Eva Scott and Harper Collins AU for my copy to read.
