The premise of this book is four romances involving people who all come to know one another. Most of the action takes place in the Darling Downs area west of Brisbane. It sounds like a lovely area, very like the Canadian and American prairie. I copied this quote from the about: website
"Think fertile slopes and plains, country towns and farms, national parks, grazing land and wineries... peace and quiet... think Goondiwindi, Stanthorpe, Toowoomba... think Queensland, think Darling Downs..."

Some of the action also takes place around Sydney. So it was interesting from the point of view of envisioning a landscape similar but different from what I am used to. It was also interesting to read the different words (or different usage of words) that the Aussies use.

All four stories end up happily ever after which, of course, is what is expected in a romance and that was satisfying. What makes these romances a little different from the standard Harlequin fare is the major part the Christian faith plays in the stories. I'm not a big fan of "Christian literature" but I enjoyed this book more than I expected to. Unlike my experience with some Christians, these people really embody the teachings of Christ.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a good escape with a Christian message ( )
