About this listen

Will facing the past bring them together?

After losing a patient, Dr Fliss Knight returns to small town Woodlea and buys a run-down farm, her confidence and city career in tatters. She intends to live a solitary life and hopes that the slow country pace will help her heal.

Pickup rider Hewitt Sinclair is no stranger to how hairy things can get in a rodeo arena. But when he can’t save the life of his twin brother, he hangs up his spurs. Determined to provide for his brother’s widow and young family, he gives himself no time to grieve. But when a motorbike accident proves he needs to also look out for himself, he accepts an old friend’s invitation to stay at an isolated property while his body heals.

When Fliss meets the cowboy living in the bluestone stables across the garden, all her hopes for a quiet and peaceful life fade. Despite his reserve, Hewitt is impossible to ignore. As they work together to care for an abandoned dog and her puppies, they find themselves drawn to each other.

But as a family secret threatens every truth Fliss has ever known, and the heavy spring rain continues to fall, both Fliss and Hewitt must face their deepest fears. Will love be enough to guarantee happiness, or will the past refuse to relinquish its dark hold?

The Red Dirt Road - so Good

I loved this book. I love Alissa Callen’s gentle realistic treatment of the characters, the outback feel - I can see the trees & the whole landscape as it’s being read, and the storyline.
Casey Wthoos puts so much feeling and realism in her reading.
I listen to them while I’m driving around doing deliveries

A lovely Aussie love story

Narrator was fantastic! Lovely story of people working through trauma and finding love. A real Aussie rural setting, the typical sense of community and Aussie spirit

Best audio

A sweet country love story with an understanding of human nature and complexities to give each character depth. There are also outside events happening that keep your interest. The best narrator I have heard, she makes each voice distinctive.

It was a struggle to finish

What could have been a good story was sadly a struggle to get through as the narration was like listening to what I imagine Cinderella or Bambi from 20 years ago would be like. If I had access to internet to download something else and move on I would have.

Tousled

The story line is boring and repetitive.

How many times does the word "tousled" have to appear in one story?

And it is "roundyard" not "round yard".
