About the author
Margaret Way
618 books165 followersMargaret Way was born and educated in the river city of Brisbane, Australia. Before her marriage she was a well-known pianist, teacher, vocal coach and accompanist, but her hectic musical career came to a halt when her son was born and the demands of motherhood dictated a change of pace.
On a fortuitous impulse she decided to try her hand at romance writing and was thrilled when Mills & Boon accepted her first effort, Time of the Jacaranda, which they published less than a year later in 1970; a feat that brought tears to her father's eyes. Some seventy odd books have followed resulting in a loyal readership whose letters provide a source of support and encouragement. A driving force in all her writing has been the promotion of her much loved country, Australia. She delights in bringing it alive for her readers; its people, way of life, environment, flora and fauna. Her efforts so far have not excited official recognition, but she expects one day she will be awarded the "Order of Australia."
Her interests remain with the arts. She still plays the piano seriously, but her "top Cs" have gone. She is still addicted to collecting antiques and paintings and browsing through galleries. She now lives within sight and sound of beautiful Moreton Bay and its islands, inspiration for some of her books. Her house is full of books, spectacular plants, Chinese screens and pots. She is devoted to her garden and spends much time "directing the design and digging and providing cold drinks and chocolates."

Looks like the author attempted a romantic suspense story but gave up halfway and then reverted back to straight "romance."
So for the first half, we have the story of an actress stalked by a crazed man. She asks her bitter ex-boyfriend (whom she jilted in favor of her career a few years back) for protection.
On the very first night the ex arrives in town to "investigate" things, because apparently he is not only a successful outback rancher but he got his private investigation degree from the Detective LaToya Jackson Online Correspondence Private Investigation College, the stalker shows up at the actress' doorstep while the ex and the actress are exchanging passionate kisses.
The stalker is wearing an all black outfit including a billowy black cape in order to set aside any doubts the reader or the protagonists would have that he is in fact a crazed stalker. LOL It's a wonder he didn't use his bedazzler to spell out the word STALKER on his chest, in black glitter beads of course!
Once that crisis is taken care of on page hundred of a hundred and eighty book, we are left with the tedious, repetitive conflict between the actress (who regrets her previous jilting and is now throwing herself at hero like a busted up OW) and the rancher (who will only take her back of she gives up any and all iota of independence, even if it is the size of a dust mite, he needs an outback wife dammit, not some high fallutintramp actress who is going to leave him and the brats to go on location).
The ending was abrupt, probably because the author finally gave up on this hot mess :(

Reunited in Love
Margaret Way always writes a tender love story suitable for all ages and a wide range of experience. Since I have visited the area where the story takes place, I enjoyed the descriptions of the country also.

Sometimes I thought that Ally was getting nowhere with Rafe as he was being so negative.
