Outback Baby

by Lilian Darcy

The engagement of wealthy Australian rancher Dustin Tanner is just the scoop journalist Shay Russell needs to save her flagging career. But when she races to the Outback to interview the happy couple, she finds the story's gone bust. And then a sudden storm leaves her trapped on the ranch — with a man who looks like he'd do anything to get her out of there….

Dustin's learned the hard way that urban career women and the Outback don't mix. Well…maybe they mix a little. Because Shay and Dustin, despite their better judgment, can't keep their eyes — or their hands! — off each other. They're about to learn that every action has its consequences. And their consequence should present itself in about eight and a half months….

Reviews

[Debora]

Molto carino, un po' sbrigativo, ma è un libro semplice da leggere, lei una ragazza di New York che viene mandata in Australia dal suo capo perché deve mandare avanti una rivista, lui che ha conosciuto ad un evento la sua futura moglie che poi decide di scaricarlo e lei che deve intervistarli non sapendo che la loro storia non sarebbe andata avanti, ma mentre lei dopo tre voli scende da un piccolo aereo proprio l'ex ragazza di lui ci sale, vorrebbe ripartire immediatamente, ma le recenti pioggie hanno fatto ingrossare il fiume che si trova accanto sia alla pista dell' aereo postale che altro così deve restare su quell' isola con lui, bloccata per settimane, così piano piano dalla prima volta in cui si vedono e non si sopportano a poi che cambia tutto.

This was a pretty good book. Not a lot of excitment or thrill but a regular romance with a few misunderstandings before the happy ending.
