Daniel Bradford was the owner of Kookaburra’s Bar & Grill; he loved the little town of Swallow’s Fall, population 97, nestled in the Snowy Mountains of Australia. Its inhabitants were eccentric, stubborn but loved by all. So how was the new owner of the dilapidated B & B just down from Kookaburra’s going to get on with the local council; a council which opposed change in the strongest way? Red headed Charlotte Simmons was already making enemies and so far all she wanted to do was change the colo Daniel Bradford was the owner of Kookaburra’s Bar & Grill; he loved the little town of Swallow’s Fall, population 97, nestled in the Snowy Mountains of Australia. Its inhabitants were eccentric, stubborn but loved by all. So how was the new owner of the dilapidated B & B just down from Kookaburra’s going to get on with the local council; a council which opposed change in the strongest way? Red headed Charlotte Simmons was already making enemies and so far all she wanted to do was change the colour of the weatherboard façade from pink to yellow…

Charlotte had come to Swallow’s Fall with a definite purpose in mind – and it didn’t involve getting friendly with the inhabitants of this backward town. She would find out what she wanted to know and be gone again; that was her plan anyway. But the best laid plans have a way of backfiring and it didn’t take long for Charlotte’s stubborn nature to come to the fore; it also didn’t take long for her to realize there was much more to Swallow’s Fall and its inhabitants than she wanted.

Quite suddenly and unexpectedly, Daniel found he had feelings for this enigmatic and prickly young woman; while Charlotte struggled with the nightmares and fears that had dogged her most of her life. Charlotte also found herself making friends with the locals – how on earth had that happened? With Ethan and Sammy, plus Julia – and dare she say it; Dan - as people she could quite easily befriend, she was confused. The only friend she wanted; the only friend she needed, was Lucy, her devoted dog. But even Lucy was making friends with the locals.

Would Charlotte find the answers she so desperately needed? And what would her future become?

I absolutely loved this latest instalment of the Swallow’s Fall series by Aussie author Jennie Jones. A wonderful plot with well-crafted and extremely real characters; the suspense and mystery woven throughout was well done. The small town atmosphere plus the countryside of the Snowy Mountains felt totally authentic. All in all, a beautifully told story which I have no hesitation in recommending highly.

With thanks to TRR and the publisher for my copy to read and review.
