Publisher Description
Loretta Hill's bestselling debut is a delectable story of red dust and romance, and of dreams discovered in the unlikeliest of places...
Lena Todd is a city girl who thrives on cocktails and cappuccinos. So when her boss announces he's sending her to the outback to join a construction team, her world is turned upside down.
Lena's new accommodation will be an aluminium box called a dongar.
Her new social network: 350 men.
Her daily foot attire: steel-capped boots.
Unfortunately, Lena can't refuse. Mistakes of the past are choking her confidence. She needs to do something to right those wrongs and prove herself. Going into a remote community might just be the place to do that, if only tall, dark and obnoxious Dan didn't seem so determined to stand in her way ...
Customer Reviews
Memory Lane
I so enjoyed reading this book as it reminded me of the best of my experiences of working in the Pilbara as a Graduate Geologist. Whilst Lena and I are quite different in our love of restaurants and shopping, I found that the culture shock of working in a male dominated community also to a bit of adjustment. However, a hard work, respect for workmates and a sense of fun led to some wonderful experiences and friendships.
I also loved being able to read a story set in an iconically Australian setting, may more be written.
Loved it!
This is a fantastic story that had me caught in it from the first page. In some parts I laughed as hard reading the story as I would have seeing/living it. A well written all Australian story with a good measure of romance. Loved it!
Very enjoyable!
I read about this books release and couldn't wait for it to be released via iBooks, I didn't stop reading once I started, very enjoyable indeed!
