About this listen

Welcome to Sutton Station: one of the world's largest working farms in the middle of Australia - where if the animals and heat don't kill you first, your heart just might.

Charlie Sutton runs Sutton Station the only way he knows how: the way his father did before him. Determined to keep his head down and his heart in check, Charlie swears the red dirt that surrounds him - isolates him - runs through his veins.

American agronomy student Travis Craig arrives at Sutton Station to see how farmers make a living from one of the harshest environments on earth. But it's not the barren, brutal, and totally beautiful landscapes that capture him so completely.

It's the man with the red dirt heart.

I am so happy to have finally found an Australian book series that actually gets the facts, language and our culture correct. This book was great, I loved the romance between both men and like how the book understood the struggles same sex couples face in the Australian outback. This story is a must read...

Loved this story..

This might just be my new favourite series from NR Walker! As usual, her extensive research makes for such great writing. I loved the details that made up with world she created and all the complexities in these characters and their relationship. So real, so passionate and such a fascinating insight into the harsh life of Outback Australia.
Joel Leslie was yet again a master narrator and did a great job of the Aussie and American accents.

Just perfection!!

An okayish narrative for the characters for an American and Australian characters voices. As I listened I had difficulty distinguishing between Charlie's and Travis vocals.
3.5 Stars 📘 An okay start as Charlie's and Travis get to know each other during the twilight hours of their down time off. Charlie's adoptive mum is a bit of a matchmaker although Charlie wasn't sure about Travis's sexuality. I was partly put off with these scenes because they automatically assume Travis is gay. This being an audio I had troubles who's POV was speaking but I thought Charlie being the main character. I couldn't connect to Travis in this story at all without his thoughts.
A story to enjoy for Charlie owning a ranch and being the only gay man around. A good ending but its not without a drama and Travis deadline drawing closer to leave for America.
