Home to the Outback by Nicole Flockton is the first book in the Welcome to Bunya Junction series. This is a really enjoyable story that I found myself easily swept up in. I really loved the characters in this book. They felt so real right from the word go, probably because you could see that they each had flaws. This author really does know how to create easy reading, romance stories that are worth every minute of your time. I always love to sit down with one of her books, this one being no exception. A great story yet again and one I would definitely recommend.

Home to the Outback (Welcome to Bunya Junction #1) by Nicole Flockton
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by Flockton. Flockton has a way of writing any of her books that capture the attention real quick. Home to the Outback is a wonderful start to a new series.
Sindy is a nurse and has to make a difficult call when it comes to losing her boss. When Ryan comes back to town her heart starts feeling things that it shouldn’t. When she realizes that a panic attack is sneaking up on her, Ryan steps up. The quote I chose for Sindy is: “Really? You think? I seriously don’t. The townsfolk expect to be able to go to their local doctor. They’ve done it for the last however many years. They don’t want to drive one and half hours to Waratah River. Not to mention the people in the towns surrounding us who looked forward to Colin’s visit. They’re not going to be happy to find out they no longer have a doctor who will visit them. That’s what’s going to happen if Ryan doesn’t stay and we can’t get a new doctor. Someone isn’t going to want to buy half a practice. They’d want to buy me out and they probably wouldn’t want to keep me on as well, so I’d be out of a job too. So, no, I don’t think Colin knew what he was doing.”
Ryan doesn’t want to move back to Bunya Junction, but does after his mentor dies. Meeting with Sindy and finding out that she now owns part of The Practice. Falling in love was never on his agenda, but it happens. The quote I chose for Ryan is: “Sindy, I don’t know what’s going on here. Something is bothering you. I can see it in the tenseness of your shoulders. I’m sorry that you had a boring day today. But I don’t know what else you want me to say or explain.”
Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

Home to the Outback is book one in the Welcome to Bunya Junction series by Nicole Flockton. I just love an Australian love story. Nothing like a story from home to keep me up all night reading. It is so nice to be able to relate to the content and know where places are and the slang sometimes used. I just loved everything about this story. From the blurb, to the characters, to the ending and everything in between. The layout and execution was on point and there was really nothing I don’t like about this story. I love a good dr/nurse romance and this one contained heat, dramatics, uncertainty, surprise and completeness. Sindy and Ryan held me captive and hanging from every moment and every word. Impossible to put down. Impossible to forget. 5 stars

I really enjoyed this story by Author Nicole Flockton. Ryan is a very successful plastic surgeon and wants to be part of something more and parts ways with his partner, whom is all about money and greed. When Ryan gets a phone call that his adoptive father, Colin, was in a very serious accident, he heads back to Bunya Junction. Sindy Carruthers went back to Bunya Junction after her relationship went wrong. Sindy ended up working for Colin as a nurse and thought highly of Colin. When Colin passes away, Ryan and Sindy find out they are both half owners of his practice that he is leaving behind. Fate brought them together, can they both heal and love. This is a great contemporary romance and I loved the setting in Australia. I cannot wait to dive into book 2 :).

Home to the Outback is a starter novel to the Welcome to Bunya Junction series. It’s a small-town romance between two adults. Ryan has recently dissolved his partnership with who he thought was his good friend. When his mentor passes away, he moves back to his small hometown where he reconnects with Sindy, his old friend’s sister. This book reminded me of the TV show, Hart of Dixie, if it were set in Australia.

I really love this author – her stories are so easy to read and really enjoyable. I really liked Sindy and Ryan, they were both really lovely characters and I loved reading about them. The authors way with her characters makes them really likeable and relatable and I found that to be the same in this book as previous ones. I felt the heartbreak of the characters and I was definitely rooting for the two of them the whole way through. They seemed to have a genuine connection which felt real and not forced! I would definitely recommend this book and as always, I look forward to more from this author again in the future.

Home to the Outback is the first in the Bunya Junction book series by Nicole Flockton. This was a sweet story of returning to your hometown and finding all that you actually needed in life was there for you. At first, Dr. Ryan Flanagan seems like he will be full of arrogance but the more we are given into his character, he becomes a very loving and caring individual. I like how he grew into who he became. Most often, plastic surgeons are portrayed as indulgent and snobbish, but this is not the case with Ryan. Sindy Carruthers is the nurse that steals Ryan’s heart and is overcoming her own demons that had her return to Bunya Junction 2 years prior to Ryan’s return and working alongside Ryan’s father figure in the local medical practice. I would absolutely recommend this read. It’s a very easy to get into and short enough that I found my afternoon swept away by the characters. I will be looking out for the next books in this series.

I can always count on Nicole Flockton to deliver an enjoyable story as was swept along on another wonderful read! This story definitely had all the ingredients to hold my attention- right from beginning to end. I enjoyed the story so much I read it in one sitting. Home to the Outback is the first book in the Welcome To Bunya Junction series by Nicole Flockton. This is a contemporary romance, ’my best friends’ sister’ type story with Ms. Flockton’s own unique touches. There also plenty of emotion, drama, some danger, and secrets- all set in a small country town called Bunya Junction in the Australian outback. Sindy Carruthers returned to her hometown three years earlier, when life got ugly. She has made a new life for herself managing the local medical clinic and feels like she finally has her life back on track. But with the death of the local doctor- life once again throws her a bit of a curve ball- in the form of Dr. Ryan Flanagan who arrives to attend the funeral of his friend and mentor. Then to make things even more complicated, they find that they have both been named in the will. Gaining a half share in the medical practice. Add a little danger, secrets, drama, and angst, and we have a captivating story. A great start to this new series and I am really looking forward to reading the rest of the instalments!

Home to the Outback (Welcome to Bunya Junction Book 1) by Nicole Flockton is a beautiful and sweet contemporary romance. It is an emotional story and a great start to a new series. Being set in the Outback of Australia makes it easy for me to imagine, being from Australia myself. With bad relationships behind them and after being attacked they are both still facing the battle scars as they return home to their childhood small town. There they are reunited by tragedy, and they find the one thing they hoped for but didn’t think they would find. I’m eager to get my hands on the next book.

This is a cute romance story that I enjoyed from beginning to end. This is not a new author for me and this is one of my favorites by her yet. This is a well written story about Sindy who has to return home a little broke and takes up practice as a nurse. She is doing great on her own until he pops up in her life again. Ryan has come home only to find that he has been given half of a practice, the other half is owned by her. He has no intentions of staying all that long but will he change his mind? These two never expected to be thrown together in one practice nor did they expect what happens to their hearts. I enjoyed the growth of these two and what they brought to the story. They are connectable and really just made the story for me. I also enjoyed their chemistry together. I found myself hoping that they would get a happy ever after at the end. This is a fun, entertaining, engaging story that I had a hard time putting down. It was a great afternoon read. I highly recommend this book.

This book brought a lot of emotion on for me, but in a good way, it really was enjoyable in more ways than one. I really connected with the characters, especially as I went through learning about them and the events that made them who they were to where we are at this point in time. It was hauntingly beautiful at times, and the story itself brought on more emotions for me, but in a good way I would say.
Sindy and Ryan were two souls, who basically have their life’s set, and the choices they made defined them. In truth though, were these choices ones provided by longings of their heart or just what their brains may have have thought best suited for them? Through a wake of sadness, of a character that had passed, that really helped define Sidney and Ryan, brings them both together, there may be some unexpected occurrences brought on by this. They inherit a late doctors business. To one character he was their true father figure, and to the other they were a employer as well as a good friend, The pain and loss brings on a lot of emotions and not understanding how Sidney and Ryan came to gain this business.
Through their time together, there were moments of where they seemed to be fed up with one another. Other times, they opened up and about their pain and suffering and where they came from, and I felt for them both separately . If there was not enough going on, Sidney has to deal with her past again in a bad way, trough this lets say suspenseful time, it brought these two souls together and they really for one another. Realized its not just chemistry that this perhaps could be the best thing that ever happened to them, only if they allowed it and fought for it. Sometimes you get called home, not because you think tis a good idea, because sometimes the best things can be found where your life first began. Watching them grow closer was beautiful in many ways, and I loved how the story went for sure!
The book made me feel many thing as I said. The warm soothing feelings it brought, as well as the tear falling moments. All in all, we can not deny this is an wonderful book to read, and its a book I will defiantly will re read again. I would want to revisit this town and characters again with no doubt.. The author did an wonderful job of the character development and all the surrounding components. Really enjoyed reading! This is one, I think all of us need to read, its not one to be missed and that’s a fact.

Three years ago, nurse Sindy Carruthers returned to Bunya Junction wounded, wary and shamed by a relationship gone wrong. Welcomed home by her family and supportive community, she now manages the local medical practice and enjoys her newfound confidence. She’s perfectly happy on her own, until a blast from the past in the form of Ryan Flanagan appears.
Dr. Ryan Flanagan—renowned plastic surgeon to the stars—heads to Bunya Junction to pay his last respects to the man who opened his heart and house to an abandoned boy. Ryan’s no fan of Bunya Junction or the harsh judgments of some of the townsfolk, so he’s stunned to discover that his old mentor has bequeathed him half a general medical practice—hoping he’ll stay on and serve the community. The other half of the practice now belongs to the beautiful Sindy Carruthers, his closest friend’s twin sister.
Sindy knows Ryan will never stay in Bunya Junction and become her business partner, and that’s a good thing. Otherwise she might just lose her heart to him.
