Maggie's Run

Outback Brides, Book 1

By: Kelly Hunter

Narrated by: Amy Soakes

Maggie Walker has never called Wirra Station home. Orphaned as a child, she spent more time at boarding school and then working in the city than she ever spent on the edge of the outback. But when her great aunt dies, Maggie inherits everything and reluctantly returns to tidy the place up before selling.

Ambitious cowboy-next-door Max O’Connor has the means and the desire to buy Wirra Station outright and return it to its former glory. But first, he wants elusive Maggie Walker to know what she’s giving up. He challenges her to live at Wirra Station for three months - with him as farm manager. Just one season - and if she still doesn’t love the place, he’ll gladly pay up and she can be cashed-up and careless, with no ties to anything or anyone.

Three months. Two hearts. One summer. Roll on.

More Than A Neighbor’s Wager

When Maggie Walker inherits a country property from her aunt, she plans to repair Wirra Stage to make it more appealing to sell. Max O’Connor who is her next door neighbor posses a wager to have Maggie stay on the property for three months prior to selling while he promises to manage the farm during that time. If after three months , this city gal does not find a place for Wirra Station in her heart, then Max will assume the property outright allowing Maggie to return to the city and her former life. That being said, Wirra Station is not the only thing that works it’s way into her heart...

The story’s dialogue flowed well between characters making it easy to discern each. The narrator used proper voice inflection based upon the emotion and occurrences in the book at that given time. She employs natural pauses that contribute to the story’s description and details. The dialogue presented was conducted in such a fashion that her voice made it possible to produce a visual image. Her performance enhanced the story and created the atmosphere for this audiobook to be enjoyed and appreciated.

I received a free copy of this audiobook however, the review is given honestly and voluntarily

Love found in the outback

When Maggie returns after her aunts death. She must decide what to do with the land, the house and the boy that is now a man. Can she find a way past her demons and nightmares to find her happy ending with her childhood friend. Can she deal with all she uncovers about her aunt.

Sometimes going home is the hardest thing to do.

Sometimes going home isn't all that it's cracked up to be. This is even more so for Maggie Walker, who does not consider Wirra Station her home...even though this is where she grew up after her parents were killed in a car accident. Orphaned at a young age and sent to live with a resentful great aunt, Maggie has a difficult time considering the sheep farm 'home'. Besides, the place is in dire need of some TLC...and cash for that TLC is not available. Maggie decides to sell! Max O'Connor is Maggie's childhood friend, the boy who literally saved her life by pulling her from the accident wreckage. However, Maggie still harbors resentment towards Max, believing that he should have also saved her parents. When Maggie approaches Max about buying Wirra Station from her, he believes that she's making a mistake by selling her heritage. Max convinces Maggie to stay at Wirra for 3 months, with him as the farm manager, before she makes the final decision. Over the summer, Maggie's outlook slowly changes towards both the property and its manager. Is there an HEA for Maggie and Max?
