About this listen

Keeping secrets comes naturally to him...but will it ruin his chance at love?

Liam Castle knows the secrets of everyone in Bunyip Bay. As the owner of the pub, he's heard it all - from marriage proposals and farming disasters to family rifts and everything in between. The locals love to confide in him, but no one knows he's hiding a tragic past.

And he wants to keep it that way.

Agricultural pilot Henrietta Forward lives for her job, choosing work over romance. But when an incident in the air brings Henri home to Bunyip Bay earlier than planned, she finds herself questioning everything she believes about herself.

But Henri's secret isn't her only problem.

Her mother will stop at nothing to have her settled down back in the Bay, and while Henri had always known domesticity wasn't the life for her, now she wonders what her future holds. So when Liam - always the first to lend a hand to those in need - agrees to play along with Henri's scheme to ward off her mother, she has mixed feelings. What happens when a pretend romance starts to feel like the real thing?

Will Henri's demons and Liam's traumatic past prove too great a barrier to love?

A fabulous return to Bunyip Bay

I found this series earlier this year (2021) and have now listened to the series twice. I hoped for another instalment, particularly for Liam, and am delighted that there now is!

It’s worth noting that this book can be read and enjoyed as a stand alone.

Absolutely loved the return to Bunyip Bay and getting to know the reliable and trusty publican, Liam and meeting the genuine, loveable Henri. Loved revisiting some Bunyip Bay favourite residents, a couple of years down the track to see how their relationships have progressed. Loved the storyline, a little different to other Bunyip Bay books, as it’s not set on a farm but in no way was it lacking at all. Not for a second. It was a lovely change of pace and scenery but still included the familiar locations of the town.

Beautifully written, funny laugh-out-loud moments, caring and believable characters and a sweet old dog who adds to the story and adds depth to the kind publican and the spirited pilot.

Beautifully narrated, as always, with excellent flow and timing by Casey.

I highly recommend this book and this series. This might be my new favourite of the series and I hope there are more to come!

Loved it!

Have been waiting for this book to launch, loved and devoured it in a couple of days! In a world of stress and mayhem it was a fantastic escape. A perfect listen at 3am when I can’t get back to sleep and my mind needs to be distracted. A super sweet story and the narrator does a great job.

I love the characters and stories that are apart of small towns

The story line as always flows through well from start to finish I never want these stories to end I am starting to feel like these people are truly my family and friends and I feel apart
of their lives
