About this eBook

Moving to this small town might just be a huge mistake.

City girl Emma Johnson moves to Kurrajong Crossing determined to escape her troubled past and forge a bright future filled with new friendships, experiences, and even a pet cow. When the town starts a bet to see which of the many eligible bachelors around town will take her out first, she plays along. They’ll figure out soon enough that she isn’t interested in romance or relationships. Not now, not ever.

Country vet and cattleman Gabe Jameson knows the gossip surrounding pretty newcomer Emma will taper off eventually. In the meantime, he’s willing to lend a hand and help with emergency repairs to her rickety old house. It’s not as if it’s a date, or that he wants it to turn into something more. Pretty women are trouble, and Emma is stunning. Besides, he’s sworn off love forever.

It seems they might have something in common after all…

Ratings and reviews

Emma has moved to Kurrajong Crossing for a new start in her life, finding a man is last on her list. With an abundance of single men in this town, that will be hard to do. Gabe, the town veterinarian is not interested in dating either. Both come into this relationship with baggage from previous relationships, but they can't deny the sizzling chemistry between them. This is a story full of family, friends and small town romance. Loved the dialogue between Emma and Gabe. Ralph the calf, added many chuckles. I'm so hoping Darby and Ryan will get their story. This is the second story in the series but can be read as a stand alone.

First let me say it is so great to get a wonderful series set in Australia so many authors even Australian authors only set their books in the USA and this is a wonderful series with many of the quirks that make Australia what it is. This is a free flowing fun romance that will have you engaged until you turn that last page Emma has moved to Kurrajong Crossing to leave her past behind her She may be stunning physically but she is a sweet girl at heart When she hears the rumours of bets been placed on which local bachelor will snag her she just smiles to herself after all she is the one that knows she has no interest in romance. Gabe is the local part time vet and cattle farmer he forms a strong friendship with Emma but he knows it will never develop into more after all he has had his heart broken and doesn't trust beautiful women he has sworn of romance But with a town playing matchmaker can they stay as just friends or will it become more between them You will have to read to see how this romance unfolds

A great addition to With Love, From Kurrajong Crossing series. This is the second book in the series, The Talk around Town by Dakota Harrison. I loved everything about this book the setting, characters, storyline, and dialogue. A possible romance with secrets. This storyline kept me reading. I can't wait until the next book comes out in this series.
