Chad Cherub has traveled to England from The Outback to look at a horse that belongs to his friend Walter Driscoll. What he did not plan on was taking one look at Seraphim Driscoll and falling in love.Seraphim  is engaged to be married to Stuffy and Uptight Englishman Barry Wellington-Worth, but coming face to face with Chad, has made her come to a quick decision. There will be no marriage at least not with Barry. You have to admire Seraphim for jumping in and taking charge of her life. She sees a chance to get closer to Chad and runs with it.Traveling to Australia with Chad, Seraphim quickly sees the differences between the privileged upper class she was raised in, and Chad who has made a life for himself and fly's in the coach section. There is a cute scene with Seraphim and some strangers while at the airport during the layover flight.You learn just how hard life can be in The Outback, but you also learn how sweet it can be to have someone you love to share that life with. I could feel the couple struggle with a love that was true, and yet a love that would not be accepted because of some prejudices from others. But I have to say I figured something was up but did not see the twist in this story coming. It was a very nice surprise in this book.The author does a really good job of describing the Settings, The English Countryside and The Australian Outback. I personally felt that more time should have been spent with the love scenes, maybe describing how each other felt. I could feel the attraction and the need to be with each other but not the passion.Some personal notes for the Author. While I found the humor of the layover flight quite entertaining, I wondered how It came to be. Unless the story transpired before security changes took place, it left me wondering how this could have happened. I personally have never flown internationally, so I don't know if it was an error or not, but I also wondered at Chad & Seraphim being separated in the airport during the layover. Are the classes kept separated? Also I  stress to the Author, please be careful with characters descriptions, especially hair color. Seraphim started out with Dark Mahogany and ended up with black. While Chad started with a brown beard which lead one to believe he had brown hair then it was crisp black hair then wavy brown hair. It just makes this reader a little confused.All in all for a first book, job well done. I look forward to reading more.4/5 Stars
