4.0 out of 5 stars Humorous and romantic 2 Aug 2000
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I am not a fan of the traditional romance books, just not my genre. But I loved this book. It's not what I would call a romance, though the plot is Ruby and Jack's relationship. This is good fiction. The main characters are fiesty and strong, you genuinely want them to win, namely each other. They are created as what actual people might be, not some farfetched fairy tale. Bowman shows himself to be adapt with phrasing, with parts that made me laugh out loud: Jack's demolition of Ziggy's car and Jack's dialogue with Hamish after the buck night were particularly funny. Also, contains depiction of the outback, a treat for those away from it. A solidly happy book, read for good feelings. Wish I could see the film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Light, realistic romance novel. 7 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
While I am not a reader of romantic novels other than what is available to me in the States, I found myself wishing to read this novel in one sitting. The way the author writes makes me want to visit the outback,experience one of those sunrises Jack so loves. The characters in this novel seem almost to jump off the pages and get you involved with their story. I throughly enjoyed this book. Bravo to Mr. Bowman.
