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.
