I am a huge Mari Carr fan and this is my first Lexxie Couper story. Lexxie has a new fan now!Mari Carr and Lexxie Couper had me hooked instantly, jumping right into the story. I admit though, I was panicked when I started this book.  I thought, Oh no! What are they doing??!!  How is this going to end happily every after? But, oh how it did!Annie is a young woman with an interesting life. She has a very wealthy father, but she is determined to stand on her own two feet. She is uncomfortable in the position of rich socialite that her sisters adore and fears that she appears ungrateful in her father's eyes. Even though she lives and works in the city, she's not really comfortable there. She has found dating to be nearly impossible with so many men who have more interest in her family's wealth than her.  After making a twenty-first century Australian pen pal (email pal) she wonders if she's finally found someone who is immune to her family's celebity and wealth.  After some miscommunication, she finds herself on a cattle station (not ranch) in the middle of Australia, without her pen pal.Enters HAWT Hunter.  Hunter finds himself immediately attracted to the American woman that showed up unexpectedly, but out of respect, keeps his hands to himself.  Unlike his brother, who is willing to travel half way around the world to meet a virtual stranger, Hunter prefers to stay right on the station (not ranch).  He likes the quiet, stable life that he has in Australia, and doesn't understand his brother's need to explore all that is out in the world.  Hunter and Annie immediately have a bond, and attraction.  They have similar personalities and wants in life.  Problem??? Yeah, that whole pen pal thing...I love this book and all the hot and steaming sex scenes. I am so excited that this is the first in a series and I cannot wait to see what is in store for Dylan. Hopefully no Vegemite.This book was very well written and I am impressed with the flawlessness that Mari and Lexxie wrote this without any noticeable switch from one author to the other. If I had to guess, however, Lexxie was probably the one saying "station, not ranch" a lot. ;)
