In Woman at Willagong Creek by Jessica Hart, Olivia goes to Australia to bring back and raise her best friend's orphaned son,David to her home in London but things do not go as planned when Cattle rancher Guy ,who's been looking after David since his parents death is not willing to let him go.The only option Olivia has now to stay at Willagong creek (Guy's home) and raise David and to stay she has to marry Guy to extend her visa.A marriage of convenience soon becomes something more deeper and meaningful as the days pass and with sparks flying everywhere,Guy is not ready to seduce Olivia until she asks-Now its up to Olivia to give their relationship a new meaning.Will two people completely unsuited for each other resolve their differences and become true soul mates..??Jessica Hart has written a good romance with great anticipation moments and I was hooked on the story from the beginning.The pace was fast with almost no unnecessary dragging and the romance was interesting enough with great chemistry and jealousy moments for the book to be a page turner .The characters took a lot of time for me to understand and perhaps that was because this was a vintage romance with characters having a completely different outlook and thinking than what I have.Olivia was difficult for me to understand most of the times in the story because the choices she made or the way she reacted in certain situations but overall she was a likable character. If Olivia was difficult then Guy was impossible to understand because he was a very closed off character and as the story is written in Olivia's POV, I could never get what Guy was thinking or why was he reacting in a certain way.Overall Woman at Willagong Creek is a good vintage romance. The chemistry between the characters is great and the story keeps you hooked throughout. If you like Classic Harlequin romances you will definitely enjoy this book.
