Taming The Outback (Australian Outback Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 1,703 ratings

Taming the Outback A single mother desperate for a second chance. A cowboy that needs her more than he can admit. One teenager out of control, a daughter terrified of anything that makes a sound, a dead-end job – how much more can this poor widow take?
Libby expects the worst when she’s called into the lawyers office but things are not what she thinks. Inheriting an outback station might be just what her little family needs. Lord knows it can’t be any worse than what they’re going through now.

What she doesn’t expect are the sparks from her new neighbor, Nathan Miller. If he had his way, she’d turn tail and return to the city, but Libby has more spirit than that. And more to lose.

He’s been hurt before so when Libby arrives, Nathan isn’t interested in being nice. Even if she’s exactly what he wants. She won’t last. City girls never do. He’d rather be a confirmed bachelor than fall for her and risk his heart again.

But Mother Nature has other plans. When she brings chaos to the station and threatens Libby’s children, he’ll either be proven right or find his barriers taken down by the stubborn woman and her adorable kids.

#1 Best Selling Author, Ann B Harrison takes you to the places she loves the best. The wide open countryside where cowboys roam free and the ever changing Australian Outback where no two days are the same.

Ann lives in the beautiful Hunter Valley where her fur babies seem to rule the roost. Life is all about the pets winning, right? We're just here to keep them happy.

Ann has finally dipped her toes into the suspense genre after years of dreaming about it and can't wait for you to meet Addison Hunter, a damaged heroine with social issues.

    Engaging story and interesting characters. A quick read. I did almost stopped reading part way through, as the male protagonist irritated me but I stuck with it and it got better, for me.

    The story is okay.
    It says first edition in 2012, but the writing style makes it seem like it was written half a century ago.

    Nathan's character is not likeable to the end.
    Libby is a go getter and much stronger character. Very likeable. If this were real life I would feel sorry for Libby for having lost her heart to Nathan.
    But the redeeming factor is that Libby is strong and will have things her own way.

    Good story but too wrapped in sex. And the story line ends too soon in sex. I would have liked to see Libby more successful on the ranch before caving into the bed with Nathan
  • Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2022
    You definitely need to read this second chance romance. You will learn about Australia and the way of life there. This book draws you in to the characters and their story! You will learn about what it's like to live on a ranch in the Outback and the problems encounter by the characters in this story but also the neighbors who live there. I would recommend this book for lovers of romance. I look forward to reading more about this Country and the people who live there! I also look forward to reading more from this author. You will enjoy this book!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Single mum x grumpy next door neighbour
    Reviewed in Australia on October 4, 2024
    A single mum trying to hold it together for her kids ends up moving to the Aussie outback station to save from a grumpy next-door neighbour.

    This was a quick easy read of Mum just trying to do her best for her kids and then the grumpy neighbour finally not being so grumpy towards her sees that she is just trying her best.

    Stars: 3.5/5
