About this audiobook
City girl, Raven, took a chance, the biggest in her life, and moved to Ben’s alpaca farm after the Royal Show. Nearly three months later, she’s trying to adjust to life on a farm and living with Ben when they hardly know each other. To make the arrangement even more tricky, his mom also lives in the same house with them. Above all, she wasn’t prepared for the feeling of isolation that comes with living on the farm.
Ben is enjoying finally being in a relationship, and better still, Raven is living with him. Life couldn’t be better, but he’s worried farm life might not be agreeing with her. The problem is his commitment to his farm sometimes has to come first. He always thought once he found his soul mate, things would be easy. It’s far from that. Will he step up to fight for what he’s always longed for?
Christmas will be different for them both this year, more than they could ever imagine with bush fires threatening their livelihood. Will it be too easy for Raven to return to the city and her family? Or will she stand with Ben and fight for a future with him?
Sometimes you need to fight for what matters in your life. No matter what.

I rate novellas differently than novels as I have different expectations when it comes to the shorter format and how I experience the writing, setting, and characters within.
When I finish a novella feeling like I've been given a good story that is decently fleshed out and that meets my genre expectations (even with the limited word count), it's a pleasure.
In some ways, the second story had a different feel from the first book as it focused more on Raven adapting to farm life, making different connections, and her questioning her ability to make the sacrifices/choices she would need to be able to live with in order to be with Ben.
At the same time, we were also invited into Ben's thoughts and were able to see that he believed in Raven, their relationship, appreciated her sacrifices, and both adored and respected her.
Along the way, I must admit that I did wonder whether the two novellas could have been worked into one novel, but I still enjoyed the duet as it was presented, as well as the narration by Bridie Lawrence.
This was an interesting look at the gifts, challenges, and hard work of the farming life, a window into the shifting mindset of the heroine as she worked through her thoughts and feelings about her new direction/life and the people in it, and I enjoyed the positive way that things worked out for this couple in the end.
