Reviewed by Helen


I have been looking forward to catching up with the fabulous characters I made friends with in The Long Way Home who live in Brockenridge, a small country town in Victoria and Nicola Marsh did not disappoint at all, I do love that in this series we get two romances at a time, this time we get to see Tash get a second chance at love and Jane reclaim her reputation and find love. I do hope that you come to Brockenridge and get to know these lovely characters.

Natasha Trigg grew up in Brockenridge with very hard parents, she left to go to university in Melbourne to study nursing, she meets musician Kody Lansdowne it was love at first sight for the shy country girl and Kody the confident musician. When the rock band that Kody leads is offered a touring contract in LA Tash finds herself pregnant, she dumps Kody although it broke her heart and moved back home and had to find her own way with a beautiful daughter Isla, she is working as a waitress in the Watering Hole Roadhouse and doing well.

Kody left Melbourne thirteen years ago when he was dumped by the love of his life Tash and the band made the top travelling the world for years hit after hit, but when there is a tragedy Kody needs some time out and the band returns to Melbourne and Kody takes off to the country to recuperate, but his life is going to be turned upside down when he finds that he is staying next door to Tash and the daughter Isla he never knew he had, needless to say he is not happy but is prepared to work with Tash but that means realizing that he had never stopped loving her.

This is a beautiful romance with heartfelt emotions that flow so beautifully Kody and Tash are really awesome people and deserve such happiness with their daughter but there are a few hoops to jump over first but when they do that, wow what a HEA,
Jane Jefferson has been having a tough time for many years, she has done some things that she is not proud of and a lot of the town does not think that highly of her, but can she have a second chance at making friends again and finding love and respect from Mason Woodley someone who she went to school with when he returns from Paris to help his mum and open up a patisserie?

This is a story that I highly recommend, so well written with wonderful characters that are easy to make friends with I do love a small town romance, secrets are hard to cover and keep and memories last a long time. Three of Brockenridge’s well- loved residents find love and happiness and that everyone deserves a second chance even if there is a bumpy road to get to their beautiful HEA’s. I loved this story, thank you Nicola Marsh for another keeper.

My thanks to Harlequin AUS and Harper Collins AU for my copy to read.
