Story
As a vulnerable 17-year-old, Beth Paterson gave a fellow student private tutoring. She didn't expect to fall deeply in love with him and have her life changed forever in just a couple of months. And she didn't expect him to vanish without even saying good-bye. Now an accomplished businesswoman and doctor, Beth's life is thrown into turmoil when Charlie Campbell comes back to town to help his family. He's a big star on the alternative rock scene these days - but he remembers Beth and seems just as mad at her as she is at him.

Story
Peony flower farmer Clancy Parker was born and bred in the Australian high country. Small-town Bundilla is the only place she will ever truly belong, even if staying means remaining alone. The man she'd loved is long gone, and single men are as rare as a summer snowfall. As soon as he could, street artist Heath MacBride escaped his complicated family and traded mountain peaks for city concrete. Now a commission to paint a mural on Bundilla's water tower brings him home.

Story
Charity Farrugia is too sensible to believe she'll find love in a paddock. After all, at thirty-four, she's the one with the secure career and the mortgage. The one who took on the job of raising her two sisters when Mom got sick. Everyone knows she's the practical one. The responsible one. Yeah, the boring one. But it would be neither safe nor prudent to let Faith and Hope spend a weekend in the country without her, would it?

Story
Dolly Jamieson is not homeless, she's merely between permanent abodes. The 78-year-old spends her days keeping warm at the local library, where she enjoys sparring with the officious head librarian and helping herself to the free morning tea. It's not so bad, really. But it's certainly a far cry from the 1960s, when this humble girl from Geelong became an international star of the stage. As the acclaimed lead in the Broadway production of The Rose of France, all Dolly's dreams had come true. So how, in her old age, did she end up here?

When her father falls ill, Willow is called home to run the family property - but her vision for a sustainable organic cattle station is proving hard to achieve. She needs Tom's help, but is it too late to make amends?

Oh Willow, Willow, Willow! To cruel!
In my whole history of reading /listening to romance novels, I don’t think I have ever come across a more hopeless female half of a couple than Willow (Banjo) Paterson. It took me quite a while to decide whether I even liked her because she had been so unspeakably cruel to Tom Forrest, her best friend from early childhood.
I won’t go into the details of the novel; it would take too long to write about the disaster that is Willow and Tom's relationship but i will say how fascinating the look into life on two neighboring cattle stations in outback WA is. It is even more interesting than what one would expect because Willow is determined to have her family's property eventually registered as a sustainable organic cattle station. This is a very long and frustrating process, particularly as she has to battle against her father's scepticism and a prejudiced and dishonest assistant manager who openly scoffs at her efforts and rails against her methods.
Ultimately, Dear Banjo is a rural romance, that, though slow to take off, eventually becomes a sweet read that if nothing else, shows the power of love in the face of repeated rejection
Olivia Beardsley is an ok narrator, but she cannot do male voices. There were occasions when a whole stream of dialogue between Willow and Tom, is being narrated, i became lost as to whether he said, or she said.

Wonderful engaging and accurate rural romance.
This book captivated me and I enjoyed following Williow's story. But only was the plot well written but the story was accurate in it's depiction of rural life and farming. I can't wait to listen to the rest of this series.
