Henriette – :
Small town Australia with hearts full of love
Toolbelts and a cute handy-woman plus an icey big city-girl adds up to – so I thought – an easy, entertaining romance for a rainey autumn day.
And I was right, at least partly. It was an entertaining read and great storyteller that she is, Cheyenne Blue gave the story quite a twist which added depth and grit.
Far from glossing over what it truly means to have lost a leg Cheyenne really lets us delve into Hazel‘s life and I loved how she effortlessly educated me as reader. And anyone who ever wanted to succeed career-wise in the good old boys world knows how Imogen feels – again no black and white. Imogen is far from perfect, but Cheyenne really hits the proverbial nail on misogyny. The grumpy dog: I so enjoyed this perfect play on the trope of cute dog. Not Chippy though, Anklebiter #1. And care for our seniors? More food for thought!
To sum it up: in perfect rhythm and well written Cheyenne had me explore so many themes which were woven together into a thought provoking and captivating package.
I received an ARC via netgalley. The review is left voluntarily.

4,5 *****
This is a sweet enemies-to-lovers, opposites-attract, smalltown and age-gap romance.
An unusual romance.
Not unusual because Hazel only has one leg and has had to learn to deal with it in life and prove herself again and again.
Not because Imogen is a rather sober, complex and infuriating Ice – Queen who, however, feels a lot of warmth and affection for the people she loves and who are important to her.
She just can’t show it very well or needs a lot of time to do it.
What is unusual is the development and rapprochement between the two.
Which is constantly ups and downs throughout the entire book.
They have to overcome many small and large hurdles, overcome misunderstandings and overcome their opinions and prejudices.
I just would have liked more warmth a little earlier in their romance.
Because when the time finally comes, they are incredibly gentle, tender, sweet and understanding towards each other. Especially Imogen regarding Hazel’s amputation.
All I can say is that I really like the unusual and with George and especially Chip as part of the story it was an extremely fun romance!
