Summary

When Mara Gregory receives a letter from the father whom she believed to have died when she was a child, her world is turned upside down. Aaron Buchanan only discovered that he had a daughter a couple of years ago and now he's desperate to play a part in her life. In the face of her mother's opposition, Mara arranges to meet her father and his family. In a breath-taking corner of the world, amid a waterfront community on Australia's west coast, will Mara find him the disappointment that her mother promises? And when Australia brings another man into her life, she's faced with some huge decisions and some heartrending choices.

Terrible narration

Wish I’d read the book instead of listening. The story was good but the narration was terrible.

Not my favourite

I like this author but Mara drove me mad. No one could eat that much. Why all the descriptions of food?

hearts and flowers!

very disappointing not the sort of novel I expect from Anna Jacobs who is usually very punchy, silly storylines, why if you record someone threatening why not take straight to the police!! And two engagements at a funeral!!!

Small World

Loved it. How you can meet the one, when you go and meet someone you had only just been told existed.

Not up to her usual standard

Okay but a bit boring in places. I may be a bit old fashioned but I thought the characters behaved abysmally at the mothers funeral. Not the place for the husband to declare his love for his neighbour nor the daughters love for her new boyfriend. There’s a time and a place and this was in very bad taste. We all like a happy ending but this was just gross. I’m so glad it’s a work of fiction.

I like a happy ending!

I enjoyed all of it. It was interesting to learn about Australia too. I always wanted to go there myself. I like this author very much.

Disappointing as Really shallow storyline

This was a poor story not up to the standard of her normal romantic fiction and has completely put me off going on reading her numerous novels anymore. Poor narration and accents to make matters worse
