Fresh Fiction Review

HOLLY'S HEART
Fiona McArthur

Reviewed by Kim Roller
Posted August 19, 2018

Romance Western

HOLLY'S HEART is the fourth book and so far the final one of the Outback Brides series which tugged at the heart strings and made you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Fiona McAuthur combines a very relatable world and shows how unique a family unit can be. Whether it's a single parent or a couple, she portray that you can overcome your fear if you have the will and time plus how love can help heal wounds you thought couldn't be healed.

Dr. Ben Brierly has just returned to his hometown to open a general practice when he sees coming down the street the woman he's loved since high school but who didn't return his feelings. Holly has returned to Wirralong with her twin orphaned nephews to raise them and run her recently deceased sister's coffee shop. She's upset when she runs into Ben the first time and flees. He has to know what upset her so he googles her. He sends a big container of daisies which lifts her spirits. He comes to the park to see her and meet the twins and they make plans to get together as friends. He starts coming into the coffee shop during her slow period and they are able to get reacquainted. Ben realizes early on that he's still and always has been in love with Holly but so as not to scare her off goes slowly. Holly is also a doctor but after a very bad incident shortly after her 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.

SUMMARY

Doctor Ben Brieley is keen to settle into life as a small town general practitioner and help his grandmother run Brieley Park. The city life was never for him. He’s finally found the peace he’s longed for, until the arrival of that one woman he’s never been able to forget, threatens to shatter it all. No way is he revisiting that road of unrequited love...except Holly Peterson seems fragile and in need of saving, and Ben’s never stopped being Holly’s white knight. After losing her sister and her faith in the world of medicine, Holly Peterson moves home to Wirralong along with her two nephews. Determined to rebuild her life and create a loving home and sense of belonging, she opens the Outback Brides Coffee Shop as her new vocation. When she learns that Ben Brieley, the man she said no to years ago is home to stay, Holly fears she’ll lose her heart and her focus on her nephews if she lets him in. Will Ben be able to break through Holly’s fears and barriers or will history repeat itself and destroy him once again?
