The Art of Husbandry

A Mackenzie Country Story

De: Jay Hogan

Narrado por: Gary Furlong

When life drowns you in lemons, to hell with making lemonade. I wanted to burn the whole world. But eighteen months from the day my life was torn apart, I’m tired of the anger. Tired of the nightmares. Tired of putting one foot in front of the other just trying to survive. Three months on a high country sheep station in the middle of nowhere is precisely the reboot I need. A chance to break free. To breathe again. To find a way forward.

I put my entire life on hold and head south to Mackenzie Country. But falling for the captivating young station boss was never part of the plan. Holden Miller might be smart and sexy and push all my dusty buttons, but we come from two different worlds. I’m not looking for a relationship. I’m not interested in love. I’m done with all that.

But Holden doesn’t care about my rules. Nestled safely in the arms of the spectacular Southern Alps, on an isolated sheep farm at the top of the world, Holden begins knitting my battered heart together one careful stitch at a time. And with every pass of the thread, every braid of the river on our doorstep, I catch a tantalising glimpse of something I’d almost given up on.

Happiness, and maybe even love.

If I have the courage to reach out and grab them.

Author Content Note: This book contains references to the past death of a child and PTSD.

The Art of Husbandry. Another Hit by Jay Hogan!!

Loved this book. It's Romantic, funny and a little sad. (With a Happy ending) The characters were all people you would love to meet. Gary Furlong is an awesome narrator, listening to him brings the story life. On my way to book 2.

A wonderful realistic story

Really enjoyed the story and the simplicity of the storyline. I was surprised but really enjoyed it!

beautiful story

love listening to Gary Furlong. love all of Jay's stories and can't wait for book 4

Healing

Be prepared with tissues. This story has more than one emotional punch. Gil lost his daughter in a car accident while he was driving . His PTSD had tanked his life. So coming to cook on the sheep ranch seems like a safe place to reset. Holden is facing running the place on his own after his grandfather’s dementia cost them an important contract. And it doesn’t help that the same grandfather calls on the regular just to tell him how worthless he is. But through all this these two men connect on a deep level. But it isn’t just these two who make the story so rich. There are plenty of secondary characters who have their own stories and pieces of these stories are allowed to build in this book. Love the depth of this story.

Wonderful story and I LEARNED things!

Learning new things is always a huge plus for me (Kea parrot 0_o) and being able to google places etc is the best part of reading now! I have looked into Dark Skies parks in the US but was very happy to see one in NZ. The story is wonderful as usual, which is why Jay Hogan is an automatic buy for me! I really could listen to Gary Furlong read a recipe ....listen to him all day and night. His character voices are the bomb. The respect for all the characters and between each other is refreshing and her dialogue is a treat. Buy this and all her books-you won't be disappointed.
