Book: King of Cane Valley
First of 2013!
Summary: After her mother′s death, Rani Ashiramsi must leave her home in Bombay and join her father in the African village of Saringal. There she loses her heart to sugar cane plantation manager Willem Dewar - but Willem is married and when Rani discovers she is pregnant, she has no option but to make a new life for herself and her child. Graeme Carruthers comes to Rani′s rescue, offering a marriage of convenience and a new life in Australia on his family′s sugar cane farm. The birth of her son, Davin, helps to heal Rani′s broken heart and she hopes to find happiness with Graeme in Queensland′s cane valley. But there is one big cloud on the horizon: Eddie O′Roarke and his determination to buy up every cane farm in the area and become king of cane valley. So when Davin grows up and falls in love with O′Roarke′s daughter Moira, it′s more than Eddie′s temper that catches fire...
What I thought: This was an OK read. I much preferred her other one. But still it's nice to escape to unknown places and to learn about other countries.

Book: Outback Sunset
Summary: When English actress Vanessa Forsythe falls in love with Ben Selby, her life changes forever. Leaving behind her beautiful Belgravia apartment, she becomes mistress of Amaroo Downs, a remote cattle station in the Northern Territory. Not only does Vanessa have to adjust to the outback lifestyle, but she has to make her place in the Selby family. Ben′s brother, Curtis, isn′t too pleased to have to make allowances for the English blow-in, while his mother, Hilary, finds it difficult to let go of her hold on Amaroo, even though she no longer lives on the station. However, Vanessa′s real challenge comes when a family secret threatens to overturn life on Amaroo, and someone seems determined to bring her happiness there to an end.
What I thought: OMG, this is just like reading Di Morrissey. Very happy to have found this new author (though she has since passed away). Anyway, I did enjoy the book and am looking forward to reading her again.
