A story full of humour, suspense and romance, it's amazing what can happen in a small town. I enjoyed the characters in the town and their interactions, the small town friendships and support for their own. A fun read that made me laugh and kept me in suspense at times.

Thanks to Escape Publishing - Harlequin Enterprises for a copy of this book

This is the first book from MS Jones that I have read, I do have the Swallow’s Falls books on my massive TBR pile and I do look forward to them, but I thought I would start with this spin off series and I loved the setting such a fabulous country town with a cast a characters that made me smile with their different ways about them, this is Edie Granger and Ryan Munroe’s story and it is a journey that has a few hurdles to get over before they make it to their HEA.

Edie has arrived home after a spot of bother with a big producer in Sydney she is worried not only about herself but her family as well, she is living in the house her parents have given her and has decided to put on a play that she has written and had success with a comedy Who Shot the Producer and is calling in the help of the 182 residents of Swallow’s Falls. This also means Ryan the guy she has always had a big attraction for and with danger around every corner this brings them closer together.

Ryan has left the army, it is now time to find a place to settle down he has plans to help families but for the moment he has heard that Edie is back in town so that is where he is going maybe he can convince Edie that they should be together but with the problems with the producer he is keeping her safe and getting closer that pull from their younger days has never left.

There is a lot going on in this story I really liked Ryan from the start he is a patient hero and so very protective and caring, Edie can be a bit frustrating her feelings were a little hard to pin down for me, but there where laughs getting this play together with the townsfolk and with danger and a producer who thought he could just walk all over people this added to the story. I am looking forward to the next book in this series and a re-visit to Swallow’s Falls.

I am a fan of the Swallow's Fall series by Ms Jones, so the chance to read the spin off series was a no brainer for me.

We are back in Swallow's Fall with Edie Granger and Ryan Munroe. After a failed relationship attempt a few years ago, they went their separate ways.

Now they are back in their home town and things can only be better than their parting, right?

I adore Ryan. He is all kinds of beautiful and swoony and any woman would give her left one to have him. Heck, I will take him off Edie's hands if she doesn't want him!

Now, Edie on the other hand, she frustrated me no end. I wanted to love her, I really did, but she was so wishy washy to me. Not professionally, I think she was amazing at what she does, but personality wise, nope.

I can't tell you how many times I talked to Ryan as I was reading, telling him to run run away, as fast as he could. The way she kept leading Ryan on then backing away - gah! Make up your mind woman.

But this might just be me.

I loved getting back to Swallow's Fall, catching up with characters that have come to feel like friends in the previous series, and even though The House On Jindalee Lane fell a little short for me, I will definitely be reading the other books in the series as they are released.

Edie Granger had moved back to Swallow’s Fall after some trouble in Sydney with the producer of the show she was doing, and had decided to produce her own show with the residents of the town playing the parts. “Who Killed the Producer” was something Edie had written and she was keen to have the locals involved. Ryan Munroe had also moved back to Swallow’s Fall on learning of Edie’s return – they hadn’t seen each other for three years, and their parting hadn’t been comfortable.

Ryan was in love with Edie but it appeared she didn’t return his feelings. But Edie was also in love with Ryan – their communication – or lack of it – was troubled with the pair arguing on a regular basis. But Edie was determined to have success with her little production and while Ryan was happy to help her achieve her goals, he was also frustrated by what was happening. But it was when danger approached the small town, and Edie, that Ryan’s time and position in the forces came to the fore.

What would happen when the play suddenly seemed to imitate real life? And would the two friends ever become more than “just friends”?

The House on Jindalee Lane is the first in a new series (Daughters of Swallow’s Fall) for Aussie author Jennie Jones. This one is filled with characters from Jones’ highly successful Swallow’s Fall series so it was like catching up with old friends. I did feel there was too much internal dialogue running through this one, and will admit to skimming in places. But that said, I have no hesitation in recommending The House on Jindalee Lane to fans of the author, as well as rural romance fans.

With thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my ecopy to read and review.

Ryan's character was the stand out in this read - his character was a joy to read. Edie too pulled the heartstrings somewhat in the story as well. The past characters from The Swallow's Fall series that made an appearance in The House On Jindalee Lane was a highlight in the story. An overall good read and an interesting start to the Daughter's Of Swallow's Fall series by author Jennie Jones.
