Book Blurb

Love blossoms in the heat and dust of the Outback.

Touring Australia before starting his life as a lawyer back in Kansas seemed like the perfect escape for James. A trip to the Mandarra Horticultural Show has him itching to work on an authentic Australian farm. What he doesn’t expect to find in the bush is a field of sunflowers and a man who makes him tremble with need.

Lachlan has resigned himself to living alone in the Australian bush. Since returning from Sydney to run the family property, he’s put his sexual desires on hold, knowing his mates would never understand. When he takes a chance and hires a good-looking young tourist to help him on the homestead, Lochie begins to wonder just how heated this year’s harvest will be. Will he be able to put his worries aside and take a chance on love?

Publisher's Note: This book is a prequel to Sunshine, Sex & Sunflowers. This book has perviously been released elsewhere. It has been revised and re-edited for re-release with Pride Publishing.

Book Review

It’s been many years since I read Jamie and Lachlan’s story, and I loved having an “excuse” to reread it in its second edition. Jamie and Lachlan’s romance is fast and furious, but there are many tender and emotional moments between them as well. The setting in the heat of the Australian harvest season is magnificent, and there is just a touch of suspense because Jamie wanting to, never mind being able to, stay in Australia is by no means a forgone conclusion.

Jamie is a young American lawyer’s son who wants to be a farmer. His father wants him to join the law firm he founded in Kansas, but Jamie is not so convinced that will make him happy. In fact he is pretty sure it won‘t make him happy at all since the only time he enjoyed growing up was on his grandfather’s farm. But Jamie isn’t even considering resisting his father’s demands until he meets Lochie and everything suddenly changes.

Lochie is an Australian ex-engineer who left his life in Sydney ten years ago to run the family farm pretty much on his own after his father passed away. He misses the company of gay men, but he has become withdrawn and gruff and has almost forgotten how to relate to others on a daily basis.

Jamie and Lochie don’t seem to have much in common at first glance – other than their love of the land and their lust for each other. But as they get to know each other, inside and outside the bedroom, the spark of lust between them begins to grow and change. Jamie needs time to figure things out though, and I was crossing my fingers the whole time! I wanted these two men to be able to fulfill their dreams – together!

If you like stories where lust grows into more, if an American lawyer in his late twenties and a fortyish Australian ex-engineer turned farmer seem like an interesting couple, and if you’re looking for a read that is as sweet as it is scorching, then you will probably like this novella.
