I enjoyed this on a number of levels. Firstly it was a nice story, with a good romance, and plenty of other action to keep me interested. Cressy is exactly the sort of female character I like to see, she runs a farm on her own, and volunteers with a rural rescue service as well. Like me she likes to rescue animals too. I have read a number of cowboy stories set in America, but this was the first one I have read set in Australia, and being from New Zealand it was good to read something from my part of the world. I loved seeing Kelpies in the book, I own a rescue Kelpie, and they are smart, loyal and affectionate, but also have a mind of their own just like Tippy in the book. The story telling was vivid, I could almost smell the steak and onions in the fair scene. The story deals with some serious issues around mental health, and I believe it is important for these issues to be brought up, in New Zealand the rates of suicide are much higher in rural areas, it needs to be talked about. I will be reading more of this author.
