So, I live on acreage between Cairns and Mareeba which is around where Magro also lives and [sort of] set this novel, and why I was eager to give it a go. However, unfortunately, it just wasn’t my cup of tea.
I think my biggest issue with the book is that it lacks plot. I’m afraid nothing really substantial happens which really affected any enjoyment I might have gained from reading it.

This is a fabulous story it has everything that a romance reader looks for, a little suspense uncovering secrets that had been kept for many years and a gorgeous second chance romance that had me cheering Nina and Logan on, it is moving and emotional and the setting is wonderful, it was really hard to put this one down once I had started it.

Riverstone Ridge by author Mandy Magro captures tragedy, suspense, heartache and second chances all in one read. A story with some stand out characters and moments that will pull at the heart strings. Readers cannot help but be caught up in the escapades, memories and dream moments of Logan and Nina. Tangled webs throughout the narrative that held more than one story arc. Another good story by Ms Magro.

Riverstone Ridge is a story packed with emotion, regrets, tragedy, and finally hope. The author has penned a truly passionate account of life in a small town, the demons that often follow us through the years, and how a common goal can bring two broken souls together to mend and find love. I found myself drawn to these characters and the inner turmoil they battled, along with a mysterious foe, to find their HEA. Riverstone Ridge is a heartfelt, captivating and satisfying book, and look forward

I have always enjoyed Mandy Magro's books and Riverstone Ridge did not disappoint. Mandy has the ability to capture the feel of a small town and the Australian Countryside and always writes about relatable characters. I do love a Romantic Suspense and I recommend it anyone that loves this genre. Thank you to Harper Collins and NetGalley for the chance to read this book.

Finding yourself after feeling lost for a long time and realising true love never dies. Loved this book.
