Marina di Maggoli knows exactly what she wants in a future partner. After years of failed matches, it’s time to look for the right kind of man to take his place beside her in Kurrajong Crossing society. Besides, with all her former friends settling down and starting families, Marina is ready to compromise on finding love for the sake of ending her unbearable loneliness.
Briar Appleton has no intention of ever having a relationship or children. He lost his mother and grandmother far too young to cancer and refuses to pass that risk onto a future generation. Teasing and tormenting the snarky, uptight Marina is something he is up for. They’ve been circling each other for years—long before he started delivering organic produce to her mother when he was a teenager and caught her looking down her nose at his recycled vintage clothing.
When the teasing turns into something more, Marina and Briar have to make choices they never planned on and take risks they always shied away from. Can they find a way to be happy together—for the sake of their new family?
My Review:
A heartfelt romance.
This story had a lot of emotion written into it. Marina and Briar are total opposites and Marina’s mother doesn’t approve of Briar because of where he grew up, in a hippie commune. Marina was raised to be prim and proper in a well-to-do neighborhood. But the heart knows what it wants and Marina wants Briar. When one wild night leads to a pregnancy, the secret has to come out. Love always seems to win and for Marina and Briar love definitely wins, but it took a while for them to get there. I enjoyed everything about this book. I just wished it was longer. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to these characters and the little town in Australia.
