Ann B. Harrison | TAMING THE OUTBACK
November 25, 2012
I love a feisty women, one who isn't afraid to stand up for herself and take
what she wants. One who starts off a slightly timid and grows into a character
with backbone makes me go all warm and fuzzy inside too. That is how I see Libby Holland, my heroine, in TAMING THE OUTBACK. Libby is a widow raising two kids with a mortgage that is getting too much and a
job that is going nowhere. Out of the blue comes a letter from the solicitor.
She has been left two country farms and the requirements of the will are that
she live there and turn a profit within two years. Not too difficult you might think? But when you take into account the Australian
outback and the harsh conditions you could be forgiven for jumping the gun.
Throw into the mix Nathan Miller, her arrogant and lust worthy neighbor and you
see just how much Libby has to contend with. But not one to sit and simper over what can't be done, Libby gets her hands
dirty and learns to run her farm. The city barmaid who was used to pouring a
beer now has to learn how to fix a fence, castrate a lamb and contend with a
bunch of hungry shearers. Unfortunately for Libby, the lack of sex and well built neighbor has her lusty
genes working overtime and it isn't long before he is something she needs to
overcome. Libby sets out to seduce Nathan with the help of the elderly farm foreman as her
conspirator. Sex with Nathan is wonderful, his attitude is something else and
she walks away convinced that she is over him now she has had him. But the laws of nature make that more a thorn in her side. When the wild weather
threatens her farm and her family, we find out what makes both her and Nathan
tick. Do you like a feisty heroine? One commenter will win a copy of TAMING THE OUTBACK. Ann B. Harrison Visit Ann Facebook | Twitter | website

A strong feisty woman willing to take on what others said she could not accomplish is a real page turner for me. Many times I have found myself in this same position. Mind set and a willingness to roll up ones sleeves gets the job done every time.

A feisty heroine is a must - especially if she's feisty in a humorous way. I like heroines who muddle their way through, whose inner dialogues paint a completely different picture to the outward confidence they show.
(Michelle Donaldson 7:57am November 25, 2012)
I must have that in my books. I hate one who is willing to sit back and let everything happen.
(Debra Guyette 8:04am November 25, 2012)
This sounds like a book I'd love to read!!! Thanks
(Bonnie Capuano 9:50am November 25, 2012)

Hi Ann! Taming the outback looks and sounds like a fun read. I love feisty heroines.

Feisty... yes, I like heroines that are feisty... they add so much to a story with their personality.
(Colleen Conklin 12:56pm November 25, 2012)
Feisty is a good word. Yes I like feisty heroines, but not those who are overly
pushy and too sure of themselves. I like them to retain a certain amount of
vulnerability.
(Patricia Barraclough 1:11pm November 25, 2012)
I do enjoy a feisty heroine---no simpering misses for me.
(Sue Farrell 1:28pm November 25, 2012)
I love a feisty heroine. She has to be feisty against an arrogant hero, otherwise she won't be able to stand up to him.
(Kai Wong 1:36pm November 25, 2012)
Feistiness makes me want to try out some of the same techniques on people I know.
(Alyson Widen 1:50pm November 25, 2012)
I like a feisty herorine, one that doesn't like to get pushed around, I'm alittle feisty for I don't like a guy to push me around, like to get the job done...love to read this b.ook
(Carole Fiore 2:14pm November 25, 2012)
The only type of feisty woman that I prefer is one who can either make a name for herself professionally, or one who can stand on her own two feet, and can make a life for herself, without being bossy or showy about it. There are still ways of being a lady, yet being a woman of the world. The haughty ones are a bit of a turn-off for me.
(Peggy Roberson 3:01pm November 25, 2012)
Sounds like a delicious read. Feisty heroines are the best!
(Monica Vargo 4:15pm November 25, 2012)

(Wilma Frana 4:58pm November 25, 2012)
I love a story with a feisty heroine which makes it a real page-turner. Nothing wrong with a bossy, pushy woman! Love the storyline for this book already...can't wait to read it!
(Linda Luinstra 5:00pm November 25, 2012)

(Christine Mead 11:10pm November 25, 2012)
I too like a feisty lady and by reading the comments, I see that I am not alone. A lady can't always depend on a man to get things done but they sure are nice to have around.
(Kathleen Yohanna 11:51pm November 25, 2012)
A love a feisty heroine. I love her independence &
intelligence & wit.
(Mary Preston 4:00am November 26, 2012)
Of course we like a feisty heroine, who wants to read about a shrinking violet! I enjoy tales where a heroine who may never have had to depend on her own resources is put in a position where she has to fight (in some way) and stands up to the challenge. That inspires us all to keep going, even when our own challenges may be a lot more domestic.
(Clare O'Beara 8:41am November 26, 2012)
i love to read about a feisty heroines. They are always page turners for me especially if they are strong to there beliefs
(Danielle McDonald 9:30am November 26, 2012)
I love nothing more than the development of a female that gathers her strength from within, no longer a cub but a true lioness. I think that in most cases that is how it is in life - women, I believe are more resiliant, have more strength that can come upon our shoulers.
(Carla Carlson 9:35am November 26, 2012)
Sounds right up my alley. I love strong willed women who
aren't afraid to go out and make their own destiny.
