Wow , where to begin but to say I LOVED this book, it's funny I never used to be too much of an Australian Outback type writer but after reading North Star by Karly Lane, I became hooked -so I blame it on Karly, but then if it wasn't for Karly and all the wonderful Australian novels that she promotes on her site , I wouldn't have met Loretta and heard about her new novel "The Girl in the Steel-Capped Boots". The Girl in the Steel-Capped Boots introduces us to Lena Todd , a newly graduate with an Engineering degree. When Lena - a city girl at heart is offered a job working in the outback - Pilbara , she is in the ride of a lifetime as it opens her eyes to a whole new life , one she never imagined . Lena , though is hiding a secret - she is unsure that she actually earned her Engineering Degree fair and sqaure as she happened to also be sleeping with the Professor Kevin. Now Lena has been given the opportunity to earn her way in the Engineering world but it won't be easy as in Pilbara - the ratio of women turns out to be 3 including her to 350+men.  A fun tale which reads as Lena tosses her job back and forth , romantic  and some non-romantic gestures spark back and forth , intimidated men , foul-mouthed bosses and dark, broody ones and of course a run in her red undies is sure to keep readers entertained from the very first page right to the very end.I look forward to reading more of Loretta's future novels as she produces them.
