Everything in Angie Edmonds life is perfectly content, she has a job she loves, a home in a town she loves, and a peaceful life she loves... then Liam Smythe happens. As soon as he walks through her vet clinic door her heart skips a beat, he is just as gorgeous as he was when he was hers, but she isn't about to let him see that he still has that effect on her, he broke her heart and she is determined to not let it happen again. So she tells him a little white lie in hopes it will keep him at a distance and her heart intact...
Liam Smythe never expected to run into Angie again, and now that he has he can't seem to get her off of his mind, she is just as beautiful as she always was, and he can't help but get a little caught up in the memories of their past. She was the one he let slip away, and he'd give anything to have a second chance with her... problem is he just found out her heart belongs to someone else. Or does it?
Her Outback Surprise is a charming little read that is sure to leave readers heart overflowing and have them smiling... I know I am! This was my first visit to the series, and I have to say I really enjoyed my visit, the story line was filled with moments that made me smile, moments that made me tear up and moments that made me blush... it was such a great read! The story line was engaging, the characters were well drawn, and the setting was blissful, at times I literary felt like I was there! Highly recommend this sweet little read, it's sure to take you on a enjoyable literary escape!

This is my first Annie Seaton book, and I really enjoyed it. I don't find many romance stories that don't have a good dose of hot steamy sex that keep my interest, so I was pleasantly surprised when I got to the end of Her Outback Surprise. Loved Liam and Ange as a couple, the chemistry was definitely there, they just had to come clean with it. Willow was adorable. I think the book could have had less of the continual repeating of what went on between them in London, that definitely got old, but overall I really enjoyed it. Loved the ending, actually brought a tear to these old eyes, very romantic, really pulled at the heartstrings for me. Liked that the author put the Glossary of Australian Terms in the book so you could refer to it to find out the little references to words we here in the states haven't heard of, but would have liked to see that in the front of the book instead of the back. Will definitely read Jemima's story when it comes out.

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.
I am tired of books where the entire conflict is based on assumptions and could be solved by the two main characters having a ten minute conversation. I found most things about this book under developed but it was a fast read and I weirdly enjoy reading books set in Australia.
This book starts out with the heartbreak of Angie and Liam's relationship ending when she must head back to Australia and he stays in London. Well over a year later we catch up with this two who are now- unbeknownst to both of them- living in the same town. Angie is the local vet and Liam is rescuing a pup and needs help- well shocked is the least you could say about this encounter.
While Angie is still stewing in her hurt and anger that she wasn't enough for Liam to either love or make the bold step and choose her and going home to Australia over a big job and London, Liam is hurt and disappointed that Angie moved on so quickly and is living with a man. But you know what they say about assuming things... Every time Angie tries to let Liam know that she was at a friend's house and the boyfriend belongs to that friend she is interrupted. But really, she thinks it probably doesn't matter because she will never be enough for Liam and he is quickly headed back out of town in a few weeks.
Liam can't get over his attraction to Angie and realizes that he probably let the best thing ever go when he didn't follow Angie home or at least tell her loved her. How can he get her to trust him, his word and his love? It's a tall order to fill when he still thinks she has a boyfriend. Navigating around each other and finally finding their true north was very entertaining and heartwarming.
This was a good read. I missed out on the first book in this series and it says a lot about how good a book is when you want to go back and read the others in the series- Lucy and Garth's story. Looking forward to the other books in this series.
