sister's death she figured out she couldn't give both her
job and the twins the attention both needed and picked the
twins.
More of this series PLEASE!! I have really enjoyed the Outback
Brides series but was disappointed that there wasn't a
book about Serenity who works with Elsa and also Isabelle's
sister in law who was moving to the area. I'd really like to
see more books in the series as Wirralong grows and more
people move to town and the wedding business continues to
flourish. Also I'd love to hear about what might happen
between the Brierly housekeeper and Al. I hope this series
will continue in the future.
