This is such an awesome story, it is funny, heartwarming, emotional and has the best characters, real people that I loved getting to know and I loved the setting, come along for a fabulous journey to a HEA that is sure to leave you smiling.

Joey Miles has returned to his home town of Clarence, it is time for a change after what happened in the city, time to start afresh and farming is the thing that he is sure will help, he is close to his family now and it is a big family. He is working hard on his farm planting trees, mowing and setting up some old cottages as farm stays things should run smoothly provided he can financially get back on his feet.

Kirsty Fox is a pilot who has led a nomadic life growing up with her mother who taught her that the Fox curse would always be there, do not stay in one place too long and when needed run, after a crash and the arrival of her mother with a letter, Kirsty is off to uncover a family and secrets that she knew nothing about, but will she find that staying in Clarence might just be what she needs to end the curse.

Kirsty is in Clarence to uncover information about her great grandfather and is World War two history nothing more but when she meets Joey after discovering an old plane in Joey’s old cowshed that used to belong to her family the attraction between them rockets but staying in Clarence is not on the cards, that is maybe until the local committee organising the Annual Clarence River Bush Poetry Muster decide that another agenda needs to be added and that is finding Mrs. Farmer Joe.

I loved this book so much, I laughed out loud and smiled all the way through, Joe is the best guy and just who Kirsty needed to make her life complete and Kirsty what can I say she is strong and vulnerable at the same time, finding love was just what she needed, they make the best couple even if it took them a bit to work that out, Now the other characters in this story added so much to it, The Miles family I loved eight year old Amy the witty banter between Joey and his siblings and then the animals Gus the dog, I love him, you need to read this book it is a must read and bring on Daisy’s story I can’t wait to return to Clarence. I do highly recommend this one.
