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 gorgeous 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 is hard to ignore. 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?
Annie Seaton's writing is delicious but it is her wonderful characters that will draw you in time and again. They are real and honest and their witty repartee is completely engaging. You can read the stories of Alex's gorgeous older brothers in Holiday Affair and Italian Affair too. This series has been wonderful. Susan Rees. FIVE stars

I haven't read the other books in the affair series so it was good that this can be read as a standalone. It has made me want to read those so they're going on my TBR list.

Being a City Girl myself, I had to take a "double take" at Jessica's character and laugh! OMG! She was definitely in for the time of her life in the outback in her silk blouse. Her determination to finally be independent of her father and her upbringing really comes through as she decides to pursue ...more
I so enjoyed my journey to love in Australia with the lead couple, "Miss America" and her "Outback Hero"! I was entranced in the first chapter, and my love for them kept strong the whole book. Kudos to Annie Seaton for her ability to make such likeable characters come to life. The sparks that flew, ...more
It was fun and a thoroughly enjoyable. Jess was a hoot, especially when she first met rude, smelly Alex and she’s practically rain drenched, when he moves her rental car because it was blocking his way so he can make his deliveries to the loading bay. You rooted for Alex and Jess to be a happy coupl ...more

Thanks to netgalley.com and the publisher for a copy of this book.
This was the best book in the Affair series. The unpreparedness of Jess during this outback adventure was so funny. Alex and the way he treated her during this adventure was so silly. He was guarding his heart because he knew he could ...more
So thanks to the other two in series this author got me to quickly dive into this one also. The characters have careers that are going or have gone somewhere but they have something missing I would say as the two in this one-Jessica and Alessandro. This one is in a place where my nephew lives with h ...more
