The first book, Topaz, was one of those Jewels Cafe books just feeling perfect for this stressful time. There was only a little drama in the plot and most of it was just cute and fluffy and heartwarming. So when I started this story I was actually hoping for more of that. I like a good plot. I like dark themes. I like angst and drama. But right now I mostly wanna be reminded that there is good and nice and kind in this world.
And luckily for me this book almost follows the same concept as the first book! About 20% of the plot is dramatic and a little angsty. The other 80% is just cute fluff, three guys who love their girl an awful lot and a girl who loves all three of her guys an awful lot. The other, less dramatic, part of the plot is also cute and quite predictable. But that didn't matter, because when I reached the ending I had this huge smile on my face because I enjoyed this so much.
I really love the relationship between Topaz and her guys. I love how they have figured out how to share her, how to be a family and how to function. I also love that they are not secretive about it. When people ask about it, they get the answers. They're not ashamed of their relationship or what they are and it's nice and refreshing to read about that. To see that it functions and works, without all the drama and the jealousy.
And last but not least: I loved how much of Australia we got to see in this book. I've never been there and at the moment traveling doesn't seem like an option, but reading this book felt like a trip, like a holiday. The descriptions of Australia were really vivid and I loved all the shifter creatures we got to meet and how this book really explored what would make the Australian shifter community so different from the American one.
Thank you so much for this cute and sweet little holiday from home!

The Silversprings world is a fun place to play around- these books are mostly light hearted fun- fun and light and sweet, with a small dash of drama- and they are normally pretty quick and steamy reads- a perfect reprieve from a angsty TBR or just the drama of day to day life.
In this second Topaz story, she’s heading out for some vacation to Australia with her guys. And they are pretty adorable. They’ve hit their stride as her harem- a functioning unit and devoted to one another. I love that about this story- the drama really isn’t relationally centered- we have a solid ground, limited angst- and the drama all comes from the situations they find themself in after crossing paths with some shifter strangers.
If you need a fun, laid back read with a smidge of action but mostly just a light and cute RH situation- this is for you. Nothing too intense-nothing too deep. Not to mention- its a bit of a love note the beauty of Australia- makes me want to go there.

Loving the Jewel's Cafe series, and after just the first I rushed to buy them all (and two other Silver Springs collections).
Topaz is a tiger shifter, also a bit of a loner. Her birthday celebration are hijacked by the pack leader bethrothign her to his son - her school life enemy - and she runs... not far though, just to Silver Springs, and a magical coffee later ends up with a delightful three very buff, yet very different mates.
Got to be the hottest, fast burn of the series so far - like wow. I've had several reasons to be jealous of tigers, ferocity, fight, orange-ness... now I have several more lol.
Bets summed up by this line of the blurb ' I’m not about to write my life off to be the mate to some egotistical, self-centered asshat'. Such wit and funny writing I have promptly bought more books by the author. I'm so broke now. Not sorry.

Wow!!! What a great read! I love how down to earth it was. I felt like I was Topaz on vacation in Aussie land and I loved it! Of course Tyler would be the one to go MIA and Topaz and a couple of new friends work together to find him and then you also get a little Lucas cameo for all of you Corviticus fans. But let’s just get to the point, if you loved Topaz’s first book, you’re going to want Topaz Goes Downunder. It was like the world’s best epilogue. Seriously, you know how when you get to the end of a great read, you read a little glimpse into the future and you think “man, I wish I could see more of that snippet!” Well this is like that extended version and it was just lighthearted and fun and leaves you with a happy heart for this fun little family.

I loved this series and Topaz Goes Downunder is so good. So what could possibly happen to Topaz and the guys while they are on holiday. You would think that they would not get into any kind of trouble being in another country. Well Jackson, Darcy and Tyler are excited to meet new people however you know Topaz is not big with crowds. She does listen to her instinct though. They meet new people and run into a bit of trouble. During this time there are injuries obtained and that nearly wipes Topaz out. It takes her a long time to recover and she is still tired. Hmm, anyways this was a great book to read.

This was a very good read that had me hooked from the very first page. I could not put it down and finished it in one sitting. It moves along at a pace that makes for an enjoyable read being neither too fast nor too slow. The characters are so real that you feel like you know them and no matter you want to see them overcome whatever may get in the way. The story will keep your interest and turning pages all the way to the end. I cant wait to read more about these amazing characters in the future.

Yay! Topaz finally gets to travel although is it everything she ever hoped it to be? This adventure brings unexpected shenanigans that throw the characters for a loop but bring them even closer together. This was such an adorable and heartwarming book to read. There were some sweet and tender moments between T and the guys, and you can truly see how much the feelings have developed since the last book-and organically! Everyone is much more comfortable with one another, and it's great to see Topaz's story end on such a happy note.

I have been following this series of books plus Josie Cluney and thoroughly enjoy both. This book is a follow up to Ms Cluney's Topaz and I was thrilled to find a slight cross over with a couple of characters from the Corviticus University series, although it might have been nice for the two groups to get together, or Topaz and Ali forming a friendship discussing their unique situation and bonds. Absolutely loved this book it was worth reading, great humour in situations. Read this in one sitting eagerly waiting for Josie's next book.

I am so glad we are getting sequels to the first books of the Jewels Cafe compilation! I was looking forward to seeing more adventure with Topaz and her men from the first book. This addition in the series really gave us an opportunity to learn more not only about Topaz, but also Jackson, Darcy and Tyler. I was hooked from page one and thoroughly enjoyed the wild ride of their first holiday together. I hope we get more stories with these characters.

It is quite evident how confident the author is in portraying Aussie life - especially since she's an Aussie herself and writes about her own backyard. :-) I quite enjoyed seeing the Aussie spirit reflected in the story....the story itself was full of adventures, drama and sweetness.
Not going to spoil it for everyone else, you'll just have to read the story for yourself to find out what Topaz and her guys get up to during their holiday adventures.

This book is so sweet it gave me cavities and I love it! After the chaotic situation of the first book, things have settled down for Topaz and the guys, and we get to see what their happily ever after looks like. Of course there's adventure thrown in, as well as some cameos from J.E. Cluney's other series Corviticus University, and a surprise revelation that warms the heart. It's honestly an adorable book, with plenty of spicy scenes!

All tho I found the story a bit slow at first I did enjoy reading this with the same lovable character form the first book.topaz always dreamed of travelling when her three shifter mates tyler,Jackson and Darcy surprise her to a trip to Australia.just as they are settling in things start to happen but with the help of new friends made along the way thing start to turn around.this book makes you smile and feel happy when reading.I just wish this story was a bit longer and could have read more

This was a cute follow up to Topaz. T and her mates take a vacation to Australia and they get into a little trouble, meet interesting locals and overall have a good time. If you've read Corviticus University, then you will see two familiar faces, also there is a surprise at the end that we couldn't be happier for.

This is a really great read that is captivating with Topaz and her men that were introduced in Topaz. This is a page turning read that is well written and has a fantastic storyline. This has just enough drama and surprises. This is a really enjoyable and easy read. I am voluntarily leaving an unbiased, honest review.
April 15, 2020
This was a completely adorable sequel! Full of feel good moments. Topaz's relationships with all the guys is sweet but their relationship with each other is heartwarming. I enjoyed the story very much and really got a kick out of the zoo scene since I could totally relate to that kind of excitement. All in all it's a fun read and well worth the pick me up.

Loved this sequel to Topaz!
On vacation in Australia. Wow! Renting a camper and staying on the beach seemed an ideal plan. They meet some local kangaroo shifters and even a great white shark shifter. Big cat shifters are rare in Australia, so of course someone takes advantage. Quite an adventure for Topaz and her mates, ending with a surprise!

Josie you’ve done it again! Another great book. I love how you always manage to breath life and magic into the Sunshine Coast and the hinterland.. as a local it’s awesome to read! A nice easy read.. great for those days you don’t want to think too much. Loved it!

Topaz goes Downunder was such a great read. If you’ve read the first book of Topaz then you’ll definitely want to read this one as well. It was fun, sexy and had just the right amount of drama with her guys. You won’t be disappointed.

This was such a good book, and if you've read Topaz, you won't want to miss out on this book. And if you haven't read Topaz, you really should! Such great books, as are all of this author's work. Take the time to check it out!

Super cute read with topaz and her guys taking a much needed trip to Australia. They come across many new shifters some nice and some not so.
I really liked that we got to see some characters from her other books and some others were mentioned as well

Can't go wrong with anything by JE Cluney
Too freaking cute! A wonderful followup to Topaz. It was a blast to see her and the gang get to travel. And the shark shifter named Bruce! I cracked up.

Did I just write super good? Lol. But it was. Exciting drama and a little suspense and plenty of steam. And its also sweetly romantic and touching. Love the surprise ending. Great sequel with a whole new world to explore down under.

Topaz Goes Downunder
Topaz and her mates have earned a vacation. And she's always wanted to go to Australia. But little did she realize that winter time for the States is summer time downunder!
