Romance under Aquarius (Stargazing Series Book 1) by Danielle Jacks – Review by Shelly Kittell

Romance Under AquariusRomance Under Aquarius by Danielle Jacks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a fun romantic adventure this book is! Kasper and Maris remind me of an adult Little Mermaid (not quite so wholesome). Kasper is trying to find a way that will heal his brother’s cancer and comes across Maris, a mermaid. The two of them continue the search for the healing jug with a few misadventures. Maris’ friends try to help her but end up messing up and causing their own ruckus. This book is laugh out loud funny! My family wanted to know what I was I was giggling at. The chemistry between Kasper and Maris was so well-done. It felt so natural. Her flirting with Owen and making Kasper jealous was awesome. The sibling rivalry fun was a nice touch. Pasha and Ryn’s betrayal of Maris and further misadventures seemed just right. I didn’t see that plot twist coming. Perfect! It fit in so smooth. I would have loved to see more of Pasha’s mom’s backstory. It was so intriguing that I had to keep going and couldn’t put it down. I had to know what was coming next. An engaging read that will have you waiting eagerly for the next book in the series. A quick and entertaining read that I recommend for romance lovers.

Wraps up the series brilliantly
Loved being back in Bunya Junction and back amongst friends. I did not want this book to end as it is last book in the series. I fell in love with the Carruthers clan and the town of Bunya Junction from book 1 and have loved watching them all get their HEA. This is Yolanda and Michael’s story. It’s all about the volatility of keeping secrets and working through the hard times that can happen even in the strongest relationships. This can be read as a stand-alone but I highly recommend reading the series from start to finish. Going to miss Bunya Junction.

Michael and Yolanda Watson are high school sweethearts. They are very much in love still years later. They have an adorable toddler named Jayne and Yolanda wants another baby. Michael is very much against the idea because Yolanda had a miscarriage previously and almost dies as a result. Drs advised to be very cautious if they decide to have another baby and that she would definitely be high risk. She can’t get over the fact that he doesn’t want another baby and she feels like he puts his chef job before his family. Because of these feelings she leaves to go back to her hometown to stay with family and get away for a while. Michael is completely distraught over losing his family even for a week (so he thinks). He tries to give her her space until a week turns into two, then three and he wonders if she will ever come home. Then Michael loses his beloved chefs position because the owner unexpectedly sales the restaurant. He needs/wants Yolanda more than ever. He decides to go back to his hometown and get his family back. Yolanda is very surprised and distant when he shows up. She finds out she IS pregnant again and doesn’t tell Michael. Michael doesn’t tell Yolanda he has lost his job. They are both keeping secrets. Yolanda very much still loves and misses her husband but she is pregnant and Michael has already said he doesn’t want another baby. She doesn’t know what to do. Throw in Yolandas very protective family and it is a very stressful situation. Do they work it out? Do they decide to stay separated? What will happen to Yolanda and the baby? This book is so good and there are so many great characters. I love Yolanda’s close knit family. They love fierce and are protective of their baby sister but they do also care for Michael. He is a good man and she hasn’t told anyone why she left him so they are left speculate what has happened. The author did an amazing job of showcasing the love of siblings and true love between a husband and wife.

A realistic story of a couple working through the ups and downs of marriage. The wife working toward resolution with her husband at times felt a little forced and repetitive but not so much I wasn’t able to enjoy the story. Once the secrets were finally revealed the couple was able to have their happily ever after.

Just like the others, I read it in one sitting. This series is such a page turner. Although a work of fiction, it has so many topics I could relate to. There is a common theme among these books and that communication and trust. Although this one was about Yolanda and Michael repairing and restoring their relationship, communication played such an important role. Both let fear keep them from expressing themselves. Each assumes the other person felt a certain way or would react a certain way. I really enjoyed the direction this book took. It’s easy to fall in love but keeping it alive takes work.

Reunion in the Outback (Welcome to Bunya Junction Book 4)

What a great way to say goodbye to this amazing series and characters.  I think it was the perfect ending but will miss them.

Wasn’t sure what to expect with Yolanda since she was mentioned but not there in the previous books.  She is a great Mom and wife but definitely showed she is the youngest child.  I felt that she needed to prove she was capable and a grown-up,  but didn’t always act like one.

Michael also has a chip on his shoulder and did everything he could to show people he wasn’t his Dad and could be successful.

I really enjoyed this series and will miss this group of people.

What a treat to revisit Bunya Junction! I loved the family dynamics among the adult siblings. Readers encounter main characters who love each other but have experienced a tragedy. Their tragedy was followed by poor interpersonal communication. Will they make their way back to one another? Will the siblings learn to relate to one another as grown adults? Read to find out!

5 stars

This is the fourth book in the Welcome to Bunya Junction Series and I cannot tell you how much I loved it. The most important part, in my opinion, is that this book is able to stand alone as a strong novel on its own. I have not read the other three books in the series, but I promise that I will now as I want to know more about the characters that I grew to love throughout this story.

In Reunion in the Outback we meet Yolanda and Michael who are living their life in Sydney. They have just weathered one of the toughest trials of their marriage, and to be honest, their lives. They also managed to do this without the support of family nearby. Michael has been trying to outrun the reputation of his father while Yolanda has been trying to prove her independence from her close knit family.

When Yolanda senses changes in their lives, she chooses to run back to her family for their support. She needs space from Michael and she needs space to think. But is her family the best choice to return to.

Soon Michael is blindsided by even more change and he finds himself with the ability to run after Yolanda to try to win her back. But by returning home to Bunya Junction, he must face all that he ran from when he left and the reputation of his father. Is winning Yolanda back worth facing his fears? Will facing his fears win Yolanda back?

Both of them need to decide if they should stay apart or if they really were better together. They also must decide if what they were running away from all those years ago in Bunya Junction is really what they thought it was. Maybe their life and their home isn’t in Sydney after all.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It’s a reunion of siblings when Yolanda (also known as Yolo and Lana) arrives on her brother Scott’s doorstep with her young daughter, Jayne. We’ve met Scott, Sindy, and Jonas in previous books and we get to interact with them more with Lana’s story.

She’s yearned for another child for years but Michael, Yolanda’s husband, can’t bear to see her again the way she was earlier in the year when she miscarried. Upset, Yolanda gathers up Jayne and they return to Yolo’s home in Bunya Junction. She avoids all the questions from the family, just letting them know she needs some time away. After all, Michael will be busy at the restaurant, which is where he practically lives these days anyway.

Michael can’t figure out what he did to have the love of his live leave with his daughter. That’s issue #1. Then the phone rings added an additional layer to already mounting pile of disasters. He loves the fact that Charles gave him this opportunity to be the head chef of Charlie’s but he also realizes the time he spends there might be impacting his marriage.

Not being able to withstand the separation any further, Michael leaves Sydney and heads to Bunya Junction. After all, with his new news, he’s got the time to work on his relationship now. Will it be too late? With so many secrets flying around, is there any hope left?

This book concludes the Bunya Junction series. I’m a little sad to see it end!! I’ve enjoyed getting to know the Carruthers family and all their dysfunctions! Each of these books may be read as a standalone but I enjoyed reading them all fairly close together. I highly recommend this series to those who enjoy a good family full of perfectly dysfunctional issues to help us all feel a little more normal. 🙂

I absolutely adored Michael and Yolondas story. I read the other books in the Bunya Junction series and this one was just as great as all the others. It was equal parts heart breaking and romantic. I devoured it in just a few hours because I couldn’t put it down. It was a story of defeat and helplessness but also of courage and strength. I highly recommended if you like small town romances!

Back to Bunya Junction for the last book in the series – this makes me sad as I’ve fallen in love with the world and its characters but once again, it is brilliantly written.
This fourth book is a different kind of romance as the lead characters are married from the beginning (and not in a marriage of convenience) so that throws a new spin on things and shows the true side to all marriages – that there can still be miscommunication and misunderstandings. It also gives everyone hope that true love still exists if you’re willing to fight for it!
So goodbye to Bunya Junction, but still looking forward to future books by this author!

Having grown up wanting to be a doctor and loving new babies, this third instalment checked all the boxes, not to mention the romance one of course. I had already read the first two books in this series so it was great to return to Bunya Junction and discover what all the other Carruthers siblings were up to since I last saw them. Love the rural Australian setting as well and picturing the town and all its characters. Highly recommended!

What a delightful and emotional read!

Reunion in the Outback is book 4 in the Welcome to Bunya Junction series. I have not read the others in the series, but despite that, I had no problem following the story. I feel like it can easily be read as a standalone.

I love a really good second chance romance, and this one did not disappoint. It actually stood apart from so many others in the genre. The writer gave me something different. This is about a couple, Yolanda and Michael, who have been together for many years and were happily married until a scary medical emergency threw their marriage into turmoil. Neither she nor Michael are sure they can ever find their way back to one another.

Michael and Yolanda were wonderful characters. They were both complex and complicated. Flockton did a great job of continually adding layers to them in each chapter with both Yolanda and Michael each telling me their story. Both of them are also keeping very important secrets from each other, but that was a symptom of their marriage at that point. I so wanted them to find their way back to each other. They loved each other so much, but doubts kept creeping back in, so they would take two steps backward for each step forward. However, I was very pleased with the ending.

Flockton is a new writer for me, and I can’t wait to read more from her, especially the earlier books in the series. It was a gorgeous story about love, loss, separation, reunion, and the importance of family.

The fourth book in the Bunya Junction series follows the story of the fourth sibling and baby of the bunch. She experiences joy, love, heartache and fear as her life turns in an unexpected direction. As in previous books, the author delves into secondary characters in just enough depth to tie things together. This book had more conflict than the others but was also relatable in that conflict is real and normal.

I have read this whole series of The Outback and love it. These books can be read as a standalone series if you don’t want to read the three books before. I love that Yolanda and Michael reconnect and have chemistry. Their marriage was in shambles that left them separated from each other than reunited in the outback of Bunya Junction. This book was emotional and with a splash of drama and marriage oops but also shows that love can overcome anything if you really try. I hope there will be another book in this series. It has became one of my favorites.

“Reunion in the Outback” written by Nicole Flockton, is the fourth book in the Welcome to Bunya Junction series, but can easily be read as a standalone. Michael and Yolanda were high school sweethearts, who left their small hometown and moved to the city to start a life together. They are now married with a young daughter, but when some intense and emotional stressors appear in their marriage, Yolanda heads back home hoping to rebuild her life. Michael is determined to keep his family together and fight for his marriage. The lack of communication between the couple was very frustrating at times, but I did enjoy the character development.

Yolanda goes home to Bunya Junction with her daughter to decide what she’s going to do about her marriage. Michael feels like his whole life is falling apart after his wife leaves.

Yolanda and Michael had been high school sweethearts and had a storybook love. Lately, however, they had been drifting apart. Having eloped and leaving their quaint hometown when they were just out of school, Yolanda stayed home with their daughter and made makeup tutorials on YouTube. Michael was a successful executive chef, working his way up from dishwasher. So, when Yolanda suddenly announces she’s leaving and taking their daughter, Michael is blindsided. How could he convince his wife that they still belonged together? I thoroughly enjoyed this latest book in the series. I was drawn into the story and loved every minute of it.

Reunion in the Outback is a story about Yolanda and Michael Watson. They are high school sweethearts that leave Bunya Junction to have a better future and leave their not-so-good past behind. I thought that this book has likable characters that are well written. There is a lot of care and thought put into this story that I greatly appreciate. The characters can be infuriating because they make everything harder than it needs to be by keeping secrets and not communicating. Without this, the conflict would have been resolved within a few chapters. If you are a person that likes angst, then you will probably enjoy this story a lot. Overall, it’s a pretty good read.
