ARC received from Harlequin Australia via Netgalley for an honest review

I am late to the Rachael Johns train and running to catch up, and although I have not read the first 3 books in the Bunyip Bay series (which I will be rectifying!), this did not take away from my enjoyment or understanding of the characters in Outback Sisters.

I live in a small country town where everyone knows everyone's business, so I get the dynamic of Bunyip Bay. Nothing stays private long!

Frankie and Simone are as close as sisters could be, but when Logan Knight struts into town, things get strained between the two.

I felt for Frankie in this book a lot more than I did Simone - I get Simone has had a rough go of it, but Frankie is just so good, so amazingly kind hearted, I just wanted, no needed her to find happiness.

Where as for Simone, it all of a sudden just fell in her lap. Who would she choose?

I am not going to say which sister ended up with which brother, or if any of them found a HEA, but right from the start I had who I wanted together in my head and it just had to end that way. But did it?

As things progressed, I got sooooo frustrated with all 4 of the main characters. Seriously people, there is this thing called "communication"- you all might want to try and use it some time!!

I felt so many emotions whilst reading Outback Sisters. Love, laughter, hurt, anger, sadness. So much sadness amongst them all.

But most of all, there was a sense of hope.

Ms Johns swept me up in the lives and loves of the people of Bunyip Bay, and I will definitely be going back to the first 3 books very soon.
