Mindalby, the small NSW country town where Sasha hoped to find the answers she sought over the wrongful imprisonment of her uncle, was ruled by the town’s cotton mill. And when the mill went into liquidation, the people who relied on that income to live, to pay rent, to put food on the table, became volatile. Somehow Sasha found herself in the middle of the turmoil – wrongly – and she was both angry and a little scared.
Cole was a cotton farmer, living on the property with his two young children and his Pop – he was another who was owed money from the mill. As both Cole and Sasha tried to work out what to do; where to go next – strange things were happening in the town. The local police couldn’t work out the spate of crime – Mindalby was normally a quiet, peaceful community. What would the outcome be? And what was in Sasha’s past that had her ready to flee?
Cotton Field Dreams is the first in A Mindalby Outback Romance Series by Aussie author S.E. Gilchrist – a multi-authored series, all set in a fictional Mindalby, somewhere between Dubbo and Newcastle in NSW, Australia. I enjoyed the story and the element of suspense kept the pages turning quickly; Cole’s two children were an absolute delight; as was Sasha’s dad and Cole’s Pop. Well written with great characters, it’s a nice beginning to what I’m sure will be an entertaining series. Recommended.

First in a seven-book series by various authors, Cotton Field Dreams introduces the small outback Australian town of Mindalby, where the town’s existence is strongly tied to the local cotton mill. When the mill closes suddenly, the town is thrown into turmoil. The residents must band together to survive, even as tensions drive them apart.
Sasha’s a newcomer to town. Working in the mill’s accounts department, she’s the one who fills in the workers’ payslips, which automatically makes her a target for their anger and suspicion, even though she has no more idea than any of the others what’s going on. Cole, a local cotton farmer working a second job at the mill to make ends meet, seems to believe in her, at least. But when planted evidence starts pointing in her direction, will Cole stand by her, or let her fall?
This was a really good read. There’s a growing market, particularly in Australia, for romance marketed as women’s fiction - it’s even being called Akubra hat fiction for the sole woman wearing an Akubra who tends to be on the cover, and this book (and series) fit the niche perfectly. There are serious issues addressed about small country towns and how they live and die by their industries, and how farmers are dependent on many factors, any one of which failing can destroy livelihoods in the blink of an eye. Rural depression and suicide are mentioned, though not gone into in any particular detail.
Sasha, the heroine, is suffering from PTSD after being caught up in an incident in the Middle East while working for Doctors Without Borders. It manifests in her claustrophobia, to an extent that she can’t actually get into a car, and I felt it was really realistically portrayed, inhibiting and limiting her, frustrating her that she can’t overcome it with willpower alone.
The only potential issue with this book is that it might be a bit over-the-top Australian for an international readership. I’m an Aussie so I know what King Gees are, but Americans would definitely be confused. The ‘ocker’ factor seemed to be particularly prevalent in the first chapter, after which it toned down to a more manageable level, so I’d say definitely stick with it, but you might need a ‘Strine’ dictionary on hand!
A beautifully written story, this is a great starter for the series, and I’m really looking forward to more. Five stars.

This was a really interesting and well-written start to a new Australian rural romance series set in the fictional cotton-farming town of Mindalby.
The story centres on Sasha, a nurse recovering from PTSD after a harrowing ordeal caught in crossfire on a battleground. She comes to Mindalby to work in accounts at the cotton mill in an attempt to clear her Uncle's name - he's in jail - having been caught on the wrong side of the Carter clan - the owners of the mill. She is also seeking to heal her own stress and anxiety so she can return to her nursing career.
As the story starts, the mill has been put into administration and Sasha (because she is new to the town and works in accounts at the mill) cops much suspicion from the various creditors, particularly the cotton growers who are uncertain of their immediate financial and farming future.
Given all the problems and conflict, there is so much to keep this story moving forward and so much to resolve.
I like that in the over-arching storyline of this as a multiple-book series, the issues for Sasha and Cole (cotton-farmer hero) are resolved to HEA, and yet the future of the cotton mill remains unclear. It will be up to future stories in the series to work through what happens to the mill and its farmers and families.

As the first in the series, I definitely think the Mindalby series is off to a good start. When companies close, especially anything to do with the farming community, we often forget that one business can set off a whole chain reaction. In Cotton Field Dreams this topic is explored when the cotton mill suddenly closes overnight, the whole town is distraught and many are suddenly pushed into the possibility of losing the homes and more. Sasha is only in town for one reason, but she gets sucked into the maelstrom of tempers and desperation that is happening in town. Meeting Cole was not on her agenda either, but sometimes life wants us to take a new direction. Sasha is brave in many ways, but can she be brave with her heart. This story is filled with great characters, I especially loved Cole's daughter Skye and Sasha's dad Obie, they continually made me smile.

This is the start of a new series, and I love books in a series and I also love a book set in the outback, and this was a great story which acknowledges the drought and what it does to the people working so hard to make a living, to make matters worse the local cotton mill closes down and this starts a trigger for greed, danger but also love and heeling, sit back and enjoy visiting Mindalby and getting to know the people that live there as I did.
Sasha has been through a tragedy and is recovering slowly and hopes that a short stint in the country will help her but there is another reason she takes a job at the local cotton mill to investigate and try to prove that her uncle is innocent of embezzlement, but when the cotton mill closes down and is put into liquidation all hell breaks loose with accusations and insinuations, but it also brings her in contact with local cotton farmer Cole, instant attraction has never happened to Sasha before but there are things that she must keep to herself as she gets closer to this fabulous family man will he and his family be what she needs to feel happy again?
Cole is a single Dad working the cotton farm with his grandfather, times are very hard with the drought and he does some odd work at the cotton mill and when he is shut out and does not look like he will be paid the worry begins. He like most of the town attend meetings and here he meets Sasha the accountant at the mill and a lot of blame is sent her way but Cole feels differently he feels a pull towards this beautiful strong woman, but he also knows she is keeping things from him.
This story takes in the plight of depression that is a real danger in the outback these days and MS Gilchrist has written it beautifully it is a moving story that will have you smiling. I loved Cole what a hero he is so caring and Sasha what she has been through and still going through with threats against her and danger getting closer she is still strong enough to help other people no matter what is thrown at her, and through danger and hurt love shines and this couple and the town will go forward. I highly recommend this one and I am looking forward to visiting Mindalby again soon.

A promising start to a new series. The essence of small town life was captured well and the book has many Aussie references embedded to set the scene. Sometimes Australian writers tend to only give a glimpse of the Oz way of life and their books could easily be set in the USA. One of the strengths of this one is its Aussie-ness. There are a lot of interesting characters introduced and hopefully readers will meet some of them again in subsequent books. There is a good amount of suspense here and it's not over the top. Sasha is a strong character with an interesting back story. Cole and his family are delightful. I also liked Obie, Sasha's father! Looking forward to reading the series as this one was very appealing.

Cotton Field Dreams is the first in a new series centering around the outback town of Mindalby, which relies heavily on the local cotton mill for employment. Sasha is a nurse, but after an horrific incident while she was working overseas, she needs time to recuperate and regroup. She applies for a job at the Mindalby cotton mill, just doing payroll. She’s not an accountant and she’s perhaps a bit under qualified for the job but she is successful anyway and moves to the small town.
When the mill closes abruptly, Sasha finds herself squarely in the firing line. She’s an outsider and she’s the person most people believe are behind the money. If there’s someone squirrelling money away or dodgy activities going on, Sasha is going to be just about everyone’s number one suspect. It seems that only Cole, a local single dad, might be willing to give Sasha the benefit of the doubt. But Cole relies on the mill just as much as many others in the town and he has two kids to provide for and a struggling farm to keep afloat. For the sake of everyone, Sasha is determined to get to the bottom of exactly what is going on behind the doors of the cotton mill.
Recently I received the first four books in this series in one volume (featuring the cover I’ve used here). I love a series that revolves around a small town, especially when the town is in Australia. So last Sunday, I spent a large portion of the day in bed reading the first book in this series. Although the bind up is huge at 800p, each individual novel is about 200p, a perfect size for a quick read.
This first book perfectly sets up the situation in the small town – it opens with the abrupt closure of the cotton mill, supposedly due to a safety issue but when people start making noises about not having been paid, it’s clear there’s definitely something else going on. And most of them seem to be looking firmly towards Sasha for information. Not only is she the person responsible for that job, there are some rumours that she’s friendly (very friendly) with the boss and might know a lot more than she’s letting on. Sasha is actually as much in the dark as everyone else but she does have a few secrets – she’s in town to recover from her ordeal yes but she also has an ulterior motive or two for why she picked Mindalby itself.
I really enjoyed Sasha’s character. She was a very determined woman, even though she wasn’t really expecting to really get very far I don’t think. She was in town for a reason and she wanted to accomplish something – the mill closing was a bit of a curve ball for sure but it just made her even more suspicious. I liked her burgeoning friendship with Cole, single dad and farmer and Cole’s family were fun, warm, loving and quite realistic. The chemistry between Cole and Sasha was good but both of them were also a bit cautious as well – Cole has his kids to think of and also Sasha’s actions and motives to at times, seem slightly suspicious. And Sasha has a career that’s a true calling and she’s never stayed in one place for very long so to get very involved with someone might be a mistake.
I feel as though this book showcases the best and worst of living in a small town. It’s a tight knit community which is struggling and there are people who’d do anything for you but there are also a few bad apples, that make it clear to Sasha just how much they resent her and feel as though she’s got something to hide. Poor Sasha cops quite a bit of poor treatment but she manages to remain stoic and soldier on, even offering to help workers that are under financial hardship with the closure of the mill. After all, she’s faced much worse!
This was a great start to the series and I’m really keen to get stuck into the rest of them!

Cotton field dreams by S E Gilchrist.
Mindalby, a small town, a community, a home. But when the mill that supports the local cotton farmers and employs many of the town's residents closes unexpectedly, old tensions are exposed and new rifts develop. Everyone is affected and some react better than others, but one thing is certain: living on the edge of the outback means they have to survive together, or let their town die.
Sasha comes to Mindalby to recover from a traumatic event, plan her next move, and seek out information to avenge her beloved uncle – the last thing she wants is a relationship. But when she meets local single dad, Cole, she can't help but be drawn to his warmth and his humour, and his two engaging children. Cole says and does all the right things, and Sasha finds herself falling, but will all of her secrets destroy the relationship before it has a chance to begin?
This was a very good read with likeable characters. Loved Sasha character. She was my favourite. I loved how she was with Cole. Loved the ending. 4*.

Cotton Field Dreams by S.E. Gilchrist is the first book in the multi author Mindalby Outback series. The story is a sweet and emotional telling of an unexpected connection between Sasha and Cole, while each dealing with their own struggles in life and the hardships placed on their beloved town.
Ms Gilchrist has written well-developed characters and an easy to follow plot that captures the reader’s interest early on. I look forward to the next instalment in this series, and each authors take on this rural setting.

This is the first book in a series that I have just started as well a the first book by this author. I have a few of her paperbacks to read and after reading this great story will be reading them very soon.
The Town is dying only Love can save it! Well, I have hooked already.
Sasha Bernstien has come to Mindalby for a few reasons one to recover two to help and three to focus on the next stage in her life. But as we know plans never turn out the way we plan when Sasha turns up for work one morning at the cotton mill.
She meets a local cotton farmer Cole who is also a single dad that is in need of answers with the closure of the mill. The whole community is in trouble financially and they are all pointing the finger to one person...Sasha
I love the characters in this story and hope to read about more of them as this series goes along. A great Aussie outback story that will entertain you to the very end.

Sasha heads to the small town in the middle of nowhere to heal and search for evidence that her uncle is innocent. She certainly didn't plan on or look for any romantic entanglements. Then she meets Cole and he ignites her fantasies. While tensions rise in town and the threats against Sasha mount can Cole make a safe place for her? Or are secrets and threats blind to pull them apart?
*Side note, I've read several books by authors in other countries but the language difference in this one kept pulling me out if the story.*

I was drawn into the trials and tribulations of this country town as they battled the closure of the cotton mill. The hero and heroine dealt with their own very real and difficult issues as they learned about each other. The human reactions of the townspeople were brought into the equation in a believable way. Add a couple of quirky characters and evil villains to round off the story and you have a winner.
