City girl and serial non-dater, Affrica Clarke travels to Boulia, Australia, to investigate the environmental impacts of the local mining company. Unless she proves herself and wins that promotion, she’ll lose so much more than a pay rise. Yet everything goes wrong the moment she lands in the outback. With no research equipment, only skimpy clothes packed by her best friend to help her score a date, and a tight deadline to submit her report, she’s screwed. So when a sexy cowboy offers to play chauffeur, she’s all over it. But she’s there to shut down the mining activities, not fawn over the guy who’s supporting them, no matter how sizzling the attraction between them.
Billionaire jackaroo, Sam Preston tempts fate as an adrenaline junkie, living each day as if it were his last. Angry and wounded, he’s in town to sell his cattle ranch to the local mining company and be done with his past—until he meets hapless city-chick Affrica, who has no clue about surviving in the desert. Sam doesn’t know how to stop being a daredevil even though Affrica reminds him of the happiness he once had.
Can Sam let go of the past before he loses the one person who's finally breathed new life into him, or is it not possible to truly tame a jackaroo?
Affrica
Clarke is determined to prove herself worthy of a full time position as
an environmental investigator and get the promotion she needs to keep
supporting her sick father. Flying to the Outback, she's left hanging as
her equipment goes to another destination and her bag is full of skimpy
clothes her roomie packed. That's not going to stop her, though, and
neither is the gorgeous billionaire jackaroo, Sam Preston. Wanting to
forget his past, Sam is planning on selling his cattle station to the
mining company Affrica is investigating. There's something about the
city gal that hooks him in a way no other woman has. Will she be able to
tame the wild cowboy or lose both him and her case?
This debut
romance novel from Sidney Valentine is as sizzling as the Australian
Outback. Affrica has a strong voice, fighting for a promotion and the
ability to support her father. Sam is a man blaming himself for what
happened to his younger brother and throwing himself into dangerous
stunts as he plays careless games with his life. The tension between
them is immediate and is kept taut all through the story. Not only are
the circumstances of why they're in Boulia pitted against one another,
but their inner struggles increase the turmoil. Yet their desire is off
the charts!
Along with top notch romance, the reader is whisked
away to little traveled places. Boulia is a charming town rich with a
rugged flavor. Even the Bed & Breakfast Affrica stays in is unique.
Huge cattle stations and deep caves. Then add in the little mystery of
the Min Min lights, we have a magnificent setting. Plus the perfect
place for a out of this world smoking hot first kiss!
I'll definitely be picking up more from Sidney Valentine in the future.
