She had been through some recent traumas, including the divorce from her husband and was determined to be independent and strong. Her plans for turning Honey Hill House into a B&B had met with a positive response from the town’s committee organising the $1 per week rental of their unoccupied houses. Bea had sorted out her finances so she knew if she was careful she would manage – her venture would be making money soon enough…

Callum Mitchell, or Mitch to his friends, was the son of Evelyn Mitchell who owned Honey Hill House. He also lived next door, so it was convenient when he originally popped over with the welcome basket from his Mum and the offer of help should Bea need it. But he wasn’t impressed – quite obviously a city girl, he was sure Bea wouldn’t stay in the isolated township that he loved. Neighbourly and friendly was all he would be; and that’s all it was when he invited Bea to the local AFL game after finding out she was an avid supporter of the game, especially the Geelong Cats.

Gradually Bea came to love Dulili – the camaraderie of the townsfolk, the peace and tranquillity which was a balm to her battered heart. Caitlin, the local hairdresser was friendly and outgoing and Bea knew she’d made a friend immediately. But it was Mitch who was stirring her heart – her feelings for him confused her; she only wanted to be friends – she didn’t want a man in her life; she couldn’t get hurt again. And it seemed Mitch had his demons as well – just friends; both of them wanted only that…

Honey Hill House by Aussie author Lisa Ireland is the second in the A Dollar For a Dream series, with the first being A Heart Stuck On Hope written by Jennie Jones and the third in the trilogy The Healing Season written by Catherine Evans. A delightful trilogy set in and around the fictional rural outback town of Dulili and written by three different Aussie authors, they can all be read as stand-alone books. Honey Hill House depicts strong characters who are real and down to earth – they could be a best friend, or a sister of a friend – anyone you know. Beautifully done and very well portrayed. Highly recommended.

With thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this copy to read in exchange for my honest review.

Second book in the Last Chance Country trilogy and I couldn't put it down! Loved the story of Bea, cancer survivor and victim of a bad first marriage. Her growing relationship with Mitch was just delightful, what a great man he was. This book felt more like Women's fiction to me than rural romance but that's ok. Onward to book three! ...more
