This was such a sweet story. I really connected with Franceen, having gone through what she went through and fighting for “normal”…I like how both Franceen and Scott let the attraction build. This book makes a very sweet, moving afternoon read.

I love this series! Doctor in the Outback did not disappoint!
Franceen and Scott are two broken souls, and because they are broken souls, they are two doctors who work too much. This is their story we are navigating. The author does a wonderful job bringing these two characters together.
Are they able to heal one another?
I will also say that the bombshell at the end has me excited about what book 4 can bring.
This book can work well as a standalone novel, if you haven’t tinkered into this series at all. You don’t need to read the others for this to make sense. Even though that’s exactly what I would encourage you to do. To read all of them. This is book 3, books 1 & 2 are well worth it!

Having not read the previous two books in this series, I picked this up for a quick read and found the story works as a standalone without feeling like I’ve missed out on anything. This is a slow sizzle and burn between a doctor who’s looking for a fresh start away from city life, Franceen, and her boss, Scott, a doctor and hospital administrator who has seen people come to the rural area but ultimately leave after missing the city. Both feel like a relationship with the other is a bad idea for several reasons, despite the obvious chemistry that keeps pulling them together.
I really enjoyed the author’s depiction of the scenery and the complications and benefits of small-town/rural living. I found both of the main characters’ protestations to getting into a relationship a bit repetitive; while it wasn’t far-fetched to imagine them having such reservations, they both seemed to recite the same things to themselves whenever the attraction was kicked up a notch with new interactions. When they finally give in to their mutual attraction, a sweet relationship ensues, but I found it a little bit lacking that they didn’t really communicate those reservations they had to begin with. Like, both characters just looked for context around them to accept the obstacles they envisioned might not really be obstacles instead of talking to each other about those things.
It was a pretty good story, overall, though, with lots of sweet points along the way – some of the patients Franceen encounters, Scott’s interactions with his sister and her babies, etc.

Another great addition to the Welcome to Bunya Junction series. This book follows Dr. Scott Carruthers, who is running a busy small town hospital. He has recently hired Dr. Franceen Lewis as an obstetrician, a woman who is fighting a horrific loss of a child and faces her demons daily with her choice in profession. They both have immediate attractions to the other but the work dynamic poses some complications. Scott and Franceen are lovable characters and their chemistry is beautiful. Scott is an admirable man who shows Franceen that there are men in the world willing to open up and care without hesitation for true love. Their story is wonderful and focuses mostly on their dynamic with a sprinkling of the other great characters of Bunya Junction that we’ve met along the way with this series. I definitely recommend Doctor in the Outback for a quick romantic read.

What a sweet story! It easily kept me interested and I enjoyed meeting(seeing again)Scott and Franceen. They have that instant connection and ups and downs. Getting to see some of the previous characters was nice. Especially his sister and her husband. This story tied nicely together theirs.
I thought this might be the last but I see one more is coming. I look forward to seeing everyone in there.

This book wiggled its way into my heart and I’m so glad I found it. Scott and Franceen pulled me into their world and I just couldn’t find the will to leave it until the end came. I instantly felt a connection with Franceen I really like her story and character. This story is sweet and a bit emotional but so worth it. It will definitely pull at your heart strings. It’s well written and paced nicely with characters you just can’t help but connect with. I’m excited for more from this series. Five stars and highly recommended!

Nicole told us a tale that I personally hoped would never end. A book that truly was such a joy to read! My emotions swirled from laughter to tears to sheer happiness and it really was a love story one could wish for on a star. The authors plot flowed so beautifully and I read every page as quickly as I could. A perfect book to fill your proverbial cup with and reset. Can’t wait to see more from this author!

Doctor in the Outback (Welcome to Bunya Junction #3) by Nicole Flockton
Another great read by the author. Welcome to the Bunya Junction Series keeps you wanting more. Doctor in the Outback is a great read and I can’t wait for the next book.
Scott is now running the hospital and is experiencing his twin sister’s pregnancy symptoms. He has a thing for the new doctor, but doesn’t want to make a move on her. Afraid his past is catching up with him again. When he takes a chance it goes fine until he catches her in an act he can’t seem to let go of. The quote I chose for Scott is: “Then I’ll go to this person too. We can make this work, Franceen, because I don’t want to not try.”
Franceen loves her job although it takes a piece of her heart. Delivering Sindy’s twin girls makes her emotional wall crack. Her own past coming back to bite her in the butt. The quote I chose for Franceen is:“Two days later. Apparently that afternoon he’d gone away with friends and had left his phone in his car. He hadn’t even told me what he was doing. I admit I was absorbed in doing everything I could to keep our child safe, but I didn’t expect him to actually go away.”
Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

This book gave me all the feels. It has two amazing characters that have been through some things in their past. It is because of these things in their past that they are hesitant to move forward with love. They then decide to face their pasts and move forward with each other. They are finding their place together when someone from one of their pasts shows up. This pushes them to decide where they are going and what they are doing together. This book has a HEA and is a quick read. I highly recommend getting lost in the Outback of Australia where all the doctors seem to be hot and there is no lack of steam. Romance, character growth, drama, trauma, and hot steamy scenes make this book a 5 star in my opinion.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Dr Scott Carruthers is overworked and needing some help in the local hospital in Waratah but when Dr Franceen Lewis arrives to help and carry some of the load all his rules are starting to go out of the window.
Dr Franceen Lewis is wanting to escape the divorce and tragedy that has happened in her life in the big city, moving to the small local hospital will help her refocus on her career which out the distraction of her Ex, but as she meets Scott, she cannot deny the instant spark that happens between them, but she has sworn off men for the time being.
Can Scott break through the walls that Franceen has built, and can he break his own rules regarding work colleagues’ romances, you will have to read to find out.
This is the third story in the series and finally tells the story of Scott one of the Carruthers twins, you have seen glimpses of him through the first two books but at last he is here, and this story does not disappoint. The chemistry between the main characters is brilliantly written. The character of Scott has always intrigued me and finally we see into his life and the pressures he is under with running the hospital.
Franceen’s character shows warmth and empathy to her patients and with her history she is more determined to go above and beyond. The true character is seen in this book and when they finally decide to make the most of the relationship it is brilliantly draft and a pleasure to read.
I can’t wait to read the next instalment in this wonderful series.

Franceen comes to town to assist a doctor who is a little overwhelmed with the caseload and escape her demons of a failed marriage. While there is instant attraction between the two, they must figure out how to work with each other in a new capacity. This book had many twists and turns while they figure out how they fit together and has a wonderful ending. I cannot wait to see what other amazing books this author has in store.

When Jonas meets Pandora dressed in a wedding dress in the bar, he is entranced by her and wants to know more. Pandora is on the run and is wanting to hide in the one place that she thinks no one will find her. This book had many twists and turns that had me captivated. I could not put this book down.

Doctor in the Outback is the third book in the Welcome To Bunya Junction series by Nicole Flockton. This is a sweet contemporary romance, set in a small town in the Australian Outback. The story is wonderfully woven with heartwarming emotion, humour, some drama, chemistry, and family dynamics. The series follows the Carruthers siblings, who each get their own book- Sindy (Book One), Jonas (Book Two), Scott (Book Three), and Yolanda (Book Four). This is Scott and Franceen’s story, and is one on my favourites of Ms. Flockton’s books, so far.
We have met Scott in the previous two books, being the twin brother of Sindy. He is the Doctor in charge of the only hospital in the nearby town. He’s been kept so busy running the hospital that he has very little time for anything else. When he finally gets some help, it comes with different complications- the sexy alluring kind that he can’t seem to keep his mind off.
Franceen Lewis moved to the outback for a fresh start after tragedy struck, and then her marriage failed. She just wanted to focus on her career and rebuilding a life for herself. She was totally unprepared for the intense attraction to her new boss, or the chemistry between them. But having experienced so much pain in her past, will Franceen risk it all for a chance at love again? This wonderful story is well worth the read to find out….
As always, I can count on Nicole Flockton to deliver a captivating story as I was pulled into another engrossing story that wouldn’t let me put it down till I had read every last word. Another winning recipe!
Happy Reading!
Thank you, Nicole Flockton!

This was a great read! A great continuation of this series. It did take me a bit to get into, because I had to go back and remember some of the characters mentioned from previous books, as it has been a while since I’ve read them. This can be read as a standalone but you get more bang from this book when you read the other books first. This was entertaining and enthralling with a great storyline. I was immerses from the first chapter and really enjoyed being on the journey with Scott and Franceen. It was just an all around good read. I can’t wait to read the next one soon!

This contemporary romance was so beautifully written that I couldn’t put it down. Our main characters both show so much emotion, that you can’t help but relate to them, both have been hurt before but can they open themselves back up to love again? This story was so full of emotion, births, accidents, serious obstacles that you can’t help but feel like your on a roller coaster ride that’s full of wild twists and turns. Will put characters open themselves back up? Could a happy ending be worth risking a heart break again? You’ll have to pick up a copy of this book to find out for yourself!

Sweet romance
What an introduction to the town of Bunya Junction. I really loved meeting the locals and following Sindy and Ryan’s journey. The setting is awesome being from Australia myself, and it felt like I was there. This was a very sweet but mature romance which had its fair share of drama and misconceptions. The writing is easy to read and the story draws you in. Absolutely brilliant series starter.

Better and better
I just love Bunya Junction and the Curruthers family. The third book in the series is Scott’s book, Sindy’s twin brother and a doctor with a lot going on. He meets Franceen and sparks start to fly. This is another brilliant addition and I just love the Aussie flavour. There were laugh-out-loud moments, especially with the twin bond between Sindy and Scott. So happy to see there is a fourth book with Yolanda’s story.

This Story focuses on Scott the gorgeous Dr who’s story has been teasing us up till now and Franceen, the new Dr in town. Their attraction to each other is instant but given they work together and he is her boss, they fight it until it becomes way to hard to resist. With matters from the past coming back to stir things up their road to their HEA isn’t always smooth but it is 100% a road worth taking!!!
I just love Bunya Junction! This 3rd book in the Welcome to Bunya Junction series focused more on the two main characters, as it should I know, then the town but you still get a feel for this wonderful little town and it’s gorgeous people. I just want to live there!!

A sweet romance set in the Australian outback. This is the third book in this small-town romance series. You can’t help but fall in love with the wonderful characters. It is an enjoyable read where there is heartbreak, loss, pain, but there is also laughter, fun and family.
Dr. Scott Carruthers is the third sibling in this series, and he gets his story told in this book. When a new obstetrician comes to town there is instant attraction but a real slow burn as they work through their own painful pasts.
I also love the connection of twins between Scott and his sister Sindy and laughed as the poor man had some of his sister’s experiences whist pregnant.

This book is an romance that will touch your heart. Touching on a sensitive topic or two, this author writes in a way that speaks to your both your emotions and your heart. The two main characters are both dealing with rough times in their pasts. The question is can they move past those to be together? Or can they work together to heal? It looks good for them but you must read to find out. This author is one of my favorites because her plots feel realistic. They are made from things that people have gone through which makes everything pretty relatable. I have never been to Australia but her descriptions in the book make you feel like you are in the story. She is a wonderful author and I look forward to reading more from her. I would definitely give it more than a 5 if I could. Highly recommend. You should read the whole Outback series.

This is the 3rd book in the Welcome to Bunya Junction series. I have loved all of these stories. The author does and amazing job with her characters so that you feel every emotion that they go through from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows, you feel every emotion along the way.
This story is is about Franceen and Scott. Both are doctors. Both work hard and love their patients. But they can’t deny the strong chemistry between them. This story is so strong, emotional and heartbreaking at times as we leave of their pasts and how it effects them in the present.
However both have been hurt in the past and this past pains keep popping up between the couple. Things aren’t helped when Franceen sees pregnant women and babies everyday knowing that is the one thing she wants but can’t have.
Scott is a huge family man and his connection with his twin sister is so special and unique.
Can this special couple work through all the pain they have suffered in their pasts so they can have a future or will they be too scares by past pains to allow themselves to fall again.

Although the characters had an instant connection I loved that it felt like it developed over the course of the book. It had quite an easy writing style about it. The story was paced well and written just right. This was a great book that I thoroughly enjoyed.

This is a lovely sweet contemporary romance novel. I felt a connection between the characters.l especially Scott. Franceen is a great lady and I love the way she is portrayed. Past failures make them a bit very wary of relationships neither wanting to be hurt. Scott is very dedicated to his work and doesn’t have much of a personal life when Franceen walks into his life. Great job in the build-up of this relationship.

Even though they have these walls built and try to keep their distance, they both feel drawn to each other. They take a chance and grow closer as they both realize the depth of their feelings for each other. They have so many demons to face and roadblocks that try to stand in the way of their happily ever after.

This is the third book in this series which I enjoyed. I have enjoyed this author’s books from the first one I picked up. This is a series that can be read as a standalone but I highly suggest reading the two previous books to help your enhancement of this author’s writing style. This is a well written romance story that has characters that pop off the pages. They are connectable and truly made the story for me. I enjoyed the chemistry between Scott and Franceen. They are great characters that are strong and looking for a second chance at love. Their growth throughout the story made the story easy and entertaining to read. The author’s use of details gave the story a realistic feel. What happens between these two I highly recommend reading this book to find out if overcoming the past is in the plans. This is a great pick up for sure.

This is one where I was falling in love over and over again. I was so happy just reading it. It brought on moments that made me smile, cry and all that jazz. The story was well made together. And everything fell into place as I read, really loved this one!
Personally, I loved the connection that was between Franceen and Scott. They both had similarities, but also differences in different ways. They both were doctors, and I found the book did a wonderful insight into what the world of doctors are and their heavy schedules, and how it truly affects their relationships. What I really loved, was what was and became between Franceen and Scott. Two souls who had a past, especially Franceen. They were afraid of that leap of finding true happiness because life is well, scary.. As said, the story was a nice flow and gave you time to know and love the characters. Loved it!
I always read all books by their amazing author. I can never get enough of their work. I highly recommend reading the Outback series if you have not read any before this. They are standalones, but really beautiful stories. Thank you once again to an amazing author for a wonderful story. Highly recommend!
