I have really loved this series and certainly hope there is more to come. Holly's Heart was a great read, I love knowing there's going to be a HEA in these stories whilst dealing with the conflicts that surround the couple's getting there. Holly and Ben are new characters to Wirralong and I loved their love story and the addition of them into the town.

Thanks to NetGalley and Tule Publishing for a copy in return for an honest review.

Firstly can I say how awesome this series is, I am loving these stories and this one is so very moving and heart-warming beautifully written, a heart that needs some mending and love and the perfect hero to do that and of course we are back in the town of Wirralong with all of the friends that we have made, this is another story that I just inhaled and it left me feeling so very good.

Holly Peterson grew up in Wirralong and always wanted to be a doctor she worked hard and got there then moved away to Sydney but has just lost her sister and is now mother to her six year old twin nephews and is not coping with working in the busy ER department of a hospital, the time has come for her to move back home and re-open her sister’s coffee shop in the now busy town and who should also have moved back to Wirralong none other than Dr Ben Brieley the boy she never forgot from school.

Ben has decided that it is time to move back home and open up a doctor’s office, the town has grown a lot since Wirra Station became a top wedding venue, and his grandmother is not getting any younger and the family farm Brieley Park needs some work to get it back to what it was. Ben is overjoyed that the girl that had meant so much to him in school has also moved back to town but given up being a doctor and he is determined to help her in any way he can and win her love.

This one is so very romantic and moving Holly is beautiful and so very caring but is also suffering after what she has been through, she loves her nephews Tom and Pat and is concentrating on making their world a better place, in walks Ben who goes out of his way to make her life happy and fill it with love and that spark that has been there since they were in school even though they spent years apart is still there now, more so. You are not going to want to miss this fabulous story so many beautiful emotions, such a beautiful romance in a fabulous setting thank you MS McArthur for sigh worthy story to melt my heart. I do hope there will be more books in this series because Serenity needs her story too 

Holly's Heart by Fiona McArthur a new to me author. Book four in the Outback Brides series. This was a great addition to the series. It grabbed me from the first page and didn't let go until the last page. With likable characters, great dialogue and a storyline that has two small twin boys that pulled me in.

Holly and Ben - loved them! I loved this whole series and hope we get more. Australia is definitely on my bucket list. I liked that Holly and Ben shared a difficult past related to their practice of medicine giving them something very difficult but solid to connect to. Her nephews were also adorable and formed a perfect plot twist to keep throwing her together with Ben. I was a little confused about their past because it seemed they had at least a friendship at times as youngsters but at other times it was suggested she wasn’t nice to him at all. Wish we had gotten more of the story of what his mother told her when she was a teen and having that come out in the open now. Little bit of a missed plot opportunity there though this was a chance to redeem his mother for her bad behavior in Elsa’s story!

Old school friends Holly Pederson and Ben Brieley are reunited in their hometown of Wirralong. Both are doctors, but Holly quit practicing after she lost a patient and it shook her confidence. Holly is focusing on raising her young twin nephews after her sister passed away. She has also reopened her sister’s coffee shop and enjoys working there. Ben is back in town to help his grandmother out and he is also opening his own practice. Ben’s plan was to find a wife and settle down. But when he sees Holly again, his mind turns to her. He was always in love with Holly even though he knew she wasn’t interested in him. Maybe now Ben will have a chance to win Holly’s heart.

This was a good book. It touched on all of the elements to keep my attention and keep the story moving along quickly. Of course there was the reuniting of old friends and their growing romance. But, it also has a sweet side with the boys, Tom and Pat. I also enjoyed the medical part which I usually I don’t enjoy those kinds of stories as there are too many terms and situations that I can’t relate to. But, this author wrote the scenes where anyone would understand. I especially enjoyed the camping scene where the boys came to respect Ben as part of their family. This was an all-around good book that I would recommend. It is also a nice way to wrap up the Outback Brides series.

Another wonderful book from the series, Outback Brides. Holly moves back to her small town with her two orphaned nephews. Their Mom has been dead only a short time . She opens her sister's coffee shop next to Elsa's beauty shop. One of the first people she sees is Dr Ben Brierly., who she went to school with. Holly is a doctor by profession but is not working as one at this time. He doesn't know why. He has always loved her but she hid her love from him. Now she has her nephews to take care of and doesn't need any distractions. Will she be able to accept his love and will she ever practice as a doctor again ? I received this book from Net Galley for an honest review. The opinions are my own.

The final book in this series, the story is of Holly who has just moved back to town. Although a qualified Dr, she is running a cafe, so she can look after her orphaned twin nephews. Also back in town is Ben, setting up his medical practice in town. They were at school together and although they left town on bad terms, the attraction between them is still there.
I have to admit that this was not my favourite book of the series, but still enojoyed reading it.
