Runaway to the Outback (Welcome to Bunya Junction, Book 2) by Nicole Flockton – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Runaway to the Outback by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Having read and enjoyed the first book in this series ‘Home to the Outback’ I was looking forward to returning to Bunya Junction and was definitely not disappointed. This story centres around Bunya Junction local Jonas Carruthers (Sindy from book ones brother) and supermodel Pandora Sebastian. Pandora and Jonas meet when she takes refuge from a photoshop in the local pub and there is confusing as she’s wearing a wedding dress, and so the locals think she’s a runaway bride. Pandora decides to take a break from her high powered career and stay in the little country town with the welcoming locals, while she attempts to fix the PR mess she’s created and hopefully rescue her career. Jonas having been hurt before by relationships has preconceived ideas about the city based supermodel but soon learns that she is actually the opposite.
As romance blossoms between the couple Pandora dose not expect Jonas to support her when she has to face the press, but maybe he will surprise her and if he does will she consider a permanent move to the outback. The beautiful Australian outback setting and small town living was once again bought to life through the descriptive narrative, making me feel immersed in the story. The characters were likeable and relatable and so well defined that I felt like they were friends. I enjoyed how the relationship between Jonas and Pandora developed and their chemistry sizzled off the page. I loved ‘catching up’ with Sindy and Ryan from book one, and look forward to some of the other secondary characters having there own story in this series. An enjoyable and engaging read which I definitely recommend.
