About this audiobook

Faith and Monty are both looking for love...in the wrong direction.

Faith Forrester is at a crossroads. Single, thirty and living on a farm in a small Western Australian town, she's sick of being treated like a servant by her brother and father. Ten years ago, her mother died of breast cancer, and Faith has been treading water ever since. She wants to get her hands dirty on the family farm. She wants to prove to herself that she's done something worthwhile with her life. And she wants to find a man...

For as long as he can remember, Daniel 'Monty' Montgomery has been Faith's best friend. When he was ten, his parents sold the family property in Merindah and moved to Perth to be closer to support services for his autistic brother, and ever since, Monty's dreamed of having his own place. So for the last ten years, he's been back on the land, working odd jobs and saving every dollar to put toward his dream. And now he finally has it. But there's still something missing...

So when Faith embarks on a mission to raise money for a charity close to her heart – Dogs for Autism – and Monty's dream property comes on the market, things seem like they are falling into place for them both. Until a drunken night out ends with them sleeping together. Suddenly, the best friends are both facing a new set of challenges...

Monty and Faith are both ready to find a life partner and settle down, but have they both been looking in all the wrong places?

Ratings and reviews

Loved it, easy to get caught up in the story. The characters are great and feel real, I can relate to the small community and living on a rural property. Can't wait to read more.

this is the first book listened too Racheal John's. I am hooked part way through. I love that she is AUSSIE, has three boys, as I do(mine grow up though) and she has a beauful furbaby (badly behaved dog, like I do) looking forward to reading/listening to all her books.
