Sugarloaf Ridge Secrets - Jennifer Ryder

 

A town not as sweet as it sounds...

Daynah Walsh’s ticket to her dream job at Metropolitan magazine has just been handed to her—but before she can move into that corner office, she must take on an assignment in the small town of Sugarloaf Ridge and expose the town’s longest-held secret. What became of the baby that was abandoned on the steps of the bakery almost twenty-five years ago?

Daynah expects easy answers and to gain some editorial experience. What she doesn’t expect is a growing friendship with cattle station manager Finn McAllister and the tight-knit community to welcome her like a member of their family.

The problem is, no one will talk.

Three years ago, Finn McAllister was dumped at the altar. Every waking moment since he’s devoted to the family property, Banridge Station.

When the new contract editor of The Song arrives, she’s like a brilliant ray of sunshine. Daynah awakens his heart as she brings life and hope to the town. Finn’s always been one to fall fast, and before too long, he’s done for.

The problem is, she’s asking too many questions.

Will Daynah break the story? Will Finn and the town finally be the key to healing the scars of her past?

A story about identity, family and love, by Jennifer Ryder.

Sugarloaf Ridge Secrets is a charming, small town romance set in rural New South Wales, featuring Daynah and Finn, with equal parts emotion, mystery and intrigue. 

Daynah is a strong, yet vulnerable, complex and endearing character.  This reporter is driven and determined to uncover the secrets of Sugarloaf Ridge, yet she's also quite unsure of herself. 

Finn is sweet, sexy, loyal and kind farmer.  He goes out of his way to help others and is a complete gentleman.  

The connection between Finn and Daynah is undeniable, although their relationship is slow to burn. Their banter is fun, flirty and engaging. 

The side characters are not only engaging, but entertaining and add an extra layer of depth to this story.  Hopefully at some point in the future other characters will have their stories told. 

Overall this title is one of family, friendship, community and finding yourself.  For me there was an added emotional connection but I can't reveal why without spoilers, but I thoroughly enjoyed this title from start to finish.
