Zane: The Wild One
Everything
Julia Goodwin had ever wanted was right here in the quiet little town
of Plenty. At least, that was what she thought, until Zane O'Sullivan
came home - and rocked her peaceful world to its foundations...
Yet
he wasn't the same black-leather-and-denim bad boy who'd haunted her
dreams in high school. This Zane was very much a man. But what would
become of their growing love when he learned about the child their
out-of-control passion had brought into being?
Quade: The Irresistible One
Chantal
Goodwin had always had an unsuspected weakness for Cameron Quade. And
now that he was back in town, she discovered a single glance still made
her ache like the lovesick schoolgirl she'd once been.
But
Chantal was a woman now, one could take what she wanted - and what she
wanted was a single shattering night of passion with Cameron. She told
herself she could still watch him walk away, but that was before she
learned about the consequences of their passionate night...
A Tempting Engagement
The
last time Mitch Goodwin had seen Emily Warner, she was crawling out of
his bed, and then out of his life. Six months later he was begging her
to resume her job as his son's nanny. But what, exactly, had happened
that night...?
Seeing Mitch and his little boy again reminded
Emily how it felt to want what she couldn't have. But resisting the sexy
single dad was impossible. There was only one solution: see if the
fantasy lived up to the reality.
No
Place Like Home is a Mills and Boon by request release of three of Bronwyn
Jameson’s much loved books brought together in one book.
Each
story features one of the Goodwin siblings as the main character and is set in
their home town of Plenty.
Zane: The Wild One
Proclaimed
good-girl Julia Goodwin is back in Plenty after the breakdown of her marriage.
Zane, the town’s bad-boy is also back visiting his sister, who also happens to
be Julia’s best friend. There is no avoiding each other and they are
inexplicably drawn to each other.
I
love how Julia urged Zane to show people his good side and told him until he
faces his feelings towards the town he will never feel worthy.
Quade: The Irresistible One
Quade
has returned to his parents’ property in Plenty. Both his parents have passed
and he craves solitude to lick his wounds after his broken engagement to his
career focused fiancé. The last thing he wants is his neighbour, lawyer Chantal
Goodwin, poking her nose into his life. However Chantal has been in love with
Quade since she was a teen.
This
story moves straight on from the first story. Quade and Chantal are much more
open about their feelings but Chantal still has a hard time getting Quade to
open up about his parents and his failed engagement.
A Tempting Engagement
This
story is about Mitch Goodwin. We already know a little about Mitch as he has
dropped into the first two stories. His wife has left him with their young son,
Joshua, so Mitch decides to move back to Plenty to give Joshua some stability.
He desperately wants to re-employ Emily as Joshua’s nanny but there is history
there and Mitch doesn’t quite know what has happened.
Mitch
and Emily’s story is a much more sympathetic read. Each treading lightly around
the other’s hurt. There was lots of cute flirting and Emily was a fun
character.
I
loved this compilation of three books in one as it followed the three Goodwin
siblings with each story following straight on from the last. There was plenty
of banter between the characters, some of it snarky and some filled with humour.
All the characters were likeable and highly capable yet broken and scarred.
There
is lots of heartbreak behind each character’s past and plenty of misunderstandings
to keep the reader on tenterhooks.
And
of course as with all perfect romance reads each story ends with a ‘happily
ever after!’
My Rating 4/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟
No Place Like Home is book #29 in the Australian Women Writers challenge
and part of the Book Lover Book Review Aussie Author Challenge
Bestselling and award-winning
author Bronwyn Jameson grew up on an Australian farm where she developed
a lifelong love of animals and the written word. Happily she was able
to marry the two working as a rural journalist before a magazine article
introduced her to Romance Writers of Australia and the possibility of a
new career writing the books she loved to read.
After five
years, a handful of contest wins and an equal number of rejections from
Harlequin Mills & Boon, Bronwyn received the phone call all aspiring
novelists dream of: Leslie Wainger at Silhouette Books wanted to buy
the manuscript she'd judged in the Romance Writers of New Zealand
Clendon Award.
Silhouette Desire published In Bed With The
Boss's Daughter in July 2001. Since then Bronwyn has continued to write
take-to-bed romance for Desire, winning contests such as The Aspen Gold,
The Write Touch Readers' Award and the Anne Bonney Readers' Choice. In
2006 she was a triple RITA finalist with her Princes of the Outback
trilogy and a nominee for the Romantic Times Series Storyteller of the
Year.
As well as strong Australian heroes and spirited heroines,
her stories feature all kinds of animals including an energetic Border
Collie named Mac, a jet black racehorse named Stella, an attack cat
named Gizmo, a talking pony nicknamed Mini Ed, a bitzer named Digger, a
Russian Blue named Tolstoy…well, you get the picture.
She still
loves animals and the written word. Her home is still a farm in the
Australian heartland, which she shares with her husband and three sons, a
thousand sheep, half a dozen horses, three dogs, an echidna and a
wallaby.
