I love Amy Andrews' Credence Colorado series, so was intrigued to see how her Australian stories would be. This is a fast paced quick read about two people who spent their lives feeling like they weren't good enough, because some of the people who should have loved them, failed them.

Chelsea Tanner is an emergency nurse in London; a widow who found out that her husband, a war hero, was also a hound dog and had not only been unfaithful, but left a son behind. She can no longer play the grieving widow to her in-laws and signs up for a year to serve in the Australian Outback with Outback Aeromedical. She lost her mother when she was only 4 and her father had mentally checked out. Doctor Aaron Vincent, raised on a sheep farm, decided at a young age that he wanted to be a doctor to be able to save people in emergencies. His mother had left her family when he and his sister were young, because she couldn't take the life in the Outback. Aaron is immediately attracted to Chelsea, but he vowed a long time ago not to risk his heart to someone who might leave. A nice description of how the medical system works in the Outback, of the land and the people. It was nice watching their relationship grow.

I read an ARC provided by Harlequin via NetGalley.com. this is my unbiased and voluntary review.

I just loved these two with their instant chemistry and working through their pasts. This one is short- great plot- wonderful setting- love the leads and side characters- medical side! The outback - Aussie setting was a lot of fun and really enjoyed we got some of the station life as well.

I can't wait for more of Amy's medical romance! If you like these or Grey's or medical TV shows you will love this one!

Good story about leaving the past behind and starting fresh. Chelsea left her London life behind to take a post as a flight nurse in the Australian Outback. Widowed three years earlier, she found out later that her husband had been a serial cheater. After three years of being faced with the results of his infidelity every day, she knew she had to get away. She's determined to take the opportunity to focus on healing and avoid any romantic entanglements. That vow is in jeopardy from the moment she meets flight doctor Aaron.

I enjoyed seeing the development of the relationship between Chelsea and Aaron. Their first meeting was funny but awkward when he burst into her temporary lodging, not knowing she was there. The sparks between them were instant, but neither wanted a relationship. Chelsea doesn't trust her judgment after discovering her husband's betrayal. She was also left feeling that she wasn't enough for him. Aaron has watched too many people come to the Outback and then leave after deciding it's not for them. He won't get involved with an "outsider" who may cut and run.

After an explosive kiss stuns them, Chelsea and Aaron decide they'd do better to stick to friendship. That doesn't mean either of them has forgotten the kiss, just that they are trying to resist the attraction. It takes a few days to get past the awkwardness, but they soon settle into an easy camaraderie and working relationship. It was fun to see Aaron introduce Chelsea to life in the Outback, from sheep shearing to emergency medicine. The more time they spend together, the harder it is to resist the attraction that pulls them together.

It was fun seeing them spend time together, getting to know each other. I especially enjoyed seeing Chelsea get comfortable enough with Aaron to tell him about what dove her to Australia. I loved his support of Chelsea and his utter disgust with her late husband and in-laws. I also loved the teasing Chelsea and Aaron received from their friends and coworkers, who could clearly see what was happening between them. Just as things looked very promising, Chelsea's past ran against Aaron's fears. I loved her sudden epiphany regarding the hold her in-laws had on her and what she did about it. Her emotional reunion with Aaron was outstanding as they finally put their troubled pasts to rest.

I enjoyed the closeness of the Outback Aeromedical crews. Their respect and affection for each other show in everything they do. The portrayal of the rigors of life in the Outback added depth to the story and made me feel as though I was there. I loved the vivid descriptions of everything from the sheep shearing (bloody flies!) to the wonder of the star-filled skies. The medical emergencies reminded me why they were there and the importance of the role they play.

This is a Medical Romance. This is all about the two main characters learning to move on and let go of their past. Chelsea is a nurse that moves from the UK to the Outback after losing her husband. Aaron is a flight doctor that grew up in the Outback, and he is used to women leaving the Outback because they cannot handle it. I love the romance and the medical stuff in this book. I love the characters, and I found the romance cute and sweet. This is a fast paced book, and the romance in this book moves super fast. I do think the super fast moving romance works in this book. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Harlequin Medical Romances) or author (Amy Andrews) via NetGalley, so I can give an honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

Tender, sweet story about starting over

Chelsea leaves her London life behind and starts a one-year contract as a nurse with Outback Aeromedical in the middle of Australia. Instantly, sparks fly between her and Aaron, one of the doctors she's working with.

Aaron is a local and has survived too many people leaving after deciding they're not cut out for the remote Outback, so he's hesitant to start anything with Chelsea until she figures out if she's staying past her first year. Chelsea has been betrayed and left feeling like she's not enough for the men in her life, so she is likewise cautious, not willing to risk another heartbreak.

I loved how despite their own personal convictions these two simply couldn't deny not only their fierce chemistry but also just how well they work together, both professionally and personally. That their romance proceeded faster than anyone expected was no surprise, given how delightfully in sync they were. When you know, you know, and when it's inevitable, it's inevitable.

There's just enough of a conflict at the end to answer all the outstanding questions once and for all. Their HEA was seen by everyone they worked with long before Chelsea and Aaron could admit it to themselves and each other. It's a wonderfully romantic story, and I highly recommend it. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
