OUTBACK AFFAIR
by Annie Seaton
BLURB:
Jessica
Trent wants to be a full-time writer for Cuisine magazine, but in order to land
the gig she has to snare a one-on-one with the reclusive Alessandro Ricardo, a
man hell-bent on staying out of the limelight. The last thing she expects as
she heads to Crocodile Springs resort in northern Australia is to end up
traveling across the Outback with a rugged and far too sexy barramundi
fisherman.
Ex lawyer Alex Richards protects his privacy and his heart in equal measure. So when a Yankee bombshell in need of a ride turns up and threatens both, he decides to teach her a lesson. As they make their way through the wild country together, the attraction between them ignites. Alex must choose between his heart or letting go of his past … and will Jessica understand why he lied once she finds out who he really is?

My Review:
This story had an interesting
premise and some fun twists that I enjoyed. I liked Jessica Trent and her
tenaciousness in trying to get an interview with the elusive Alessandro
Ricardo. She meets Alex Richards and the chemistry is off the charts hot. Stranded
in the Outback, he’s the man you want, he’s super prepared for any instance.
This book flows beautifully and
watching Alex trying to keep his secret kept me entertained. I love that both
the characters are super strong and amazing characters. They’re both people I
would like to be friends with.
Overall, it’s a great read.
It’s the third in Annie Seaton’s Affair series, and I haven’t read the other
books but that didn’t stop me enjoying this story.

EXCERPT :
“May I have the check-in form,
please?”
She gasped as a large tanned
hand whipped past her arm and grabbed her keys. “What the hell do you think
you’re doing?” Jess tried to keep her voice level as he dangled the keys rudely
in front of her face.
“I’ll move the car for you. Janet here will
get you all checked in,” he said. “Which cabin, Janet?” He turned to the woman behind
the counter. “I may as well park it for the sweet young lady.”
Jess was at a loss for words. No way did she
want this unkempt hulk knowing her room number.
“Last one on the left down by
the boat ramp,” Janet called after him as he strode to the door. “And watch out
for the crocodile. There’s been a biggie hanging around the ramp all day. The
rain might get him wandering.”
“Oh, and by the way.” He paused in the doorway
and looked back over one shoulder. “Don’t look at me as though I’ve just crawled
out of the slime. The back of your pretty shirt is covered in grease.”
The door slammed shut behind
him Jess looked up at the woman behind the counter. “Are all Australian men
so…so rude?”
About the Author:
Annie Seaton lives with her
husband, and ‘Bob’ the dog and two white cats in a house next to the beach on
the east coast of Australia. She sits in her writing chair, gazing at the ocean
and writing stories. Their two children

beach and spoiling her two grandchildren. She has always been fascinated by all
things romantic and has found her niche in life writing romance novels, ranging

romance of course.
Her love of reading and history

Her working life has seen her
through several major career changes and Annie has now retired from the world
of full time work and has fulfilled her lifelong dream of becoming a published
