"Can they overcome their past to find love and each other?"

Fresh Fiction Review

Romance Western | Romance Contemporary

A life full of nothing but heartache and no love has a profound effect on a woman. He wants to overcome the past so they can have a future. MAGGIE'S RUN by Kelly Hunter is an emotional story of how the past can influence your future, and it's up to you to change things to help you heal. Maggie has inherited the family sheep station from her great-aunt. She doesn't know if she wants to keep it because of all the memories in her small town. Maggie is the only surviving member of her family after her parents died in a car crash when she was twelve. Max was there that day and pulled her out of the car. He's always had feelings for Maggie and has been protective of her. They meet again when she goes to town with a question for the local feed store. They go to lunch and Max offers to buy her farm if she'll stay for an allotted time. He wants to get past their painful history but doesn't think Maggie is ready. Maggie and her friends come up with an idea to turn the farm into an event center, and she's willing to sell her family home to pay for the renovations, as well as including the rest of the town in the planning process. Meanwhile, Max takes over fixing things for the sheep. He also helps Maggie with her self-esteem, and the two begin seeing one another, even if Maggie is a little reluctant at first. As things continue to develop for the event center, Maggie plans a grand opening ball. Selling her family home to pay for the renovations. But when Maggie and Max share one passionate night together, she runs away and Max is hurt in the process. Will they be able to work through their pain? The Outback Brides series follows the lives of Maggie and her friends as they work together in her event business, and MAGGIE'S RUN is a wonderful start. It brings together a community and shows a woman that she can be happy and have love even when she's hardly had any and that she can trust someone with her issues. I look forward to reading the next book in the series as well as the others.

SUMMARY

Maggie Walker has never called Wirra Station home. Orphaned as a child, she spent more time at boarding school, and then working in the city, than she ever spent on the edge of the outback. But when her great aunt dies, Maggie inherits everything and reluctantly returns to tidy the place up before selling. Ambitious cowboy-next-door Max O’Connor has the means and the desire to buy Wirra Station outright and return it to its former glory. But first, he wants elusive Maggie Walker to know what she’s giving up. He challenges her to live at Wirra Station for three months—with him as farm manager. Just one season–and if she still doesn’t love the place, he’ll gladly pay up and she can be cashed-up and careless, with no ties to anything or anyone. Three months. Two hearts. One Summer. Roll on.
