Under The Burning Sky is a pleasant, easy read. In this first book of the series, we meet Ethan a former marine leaving Chicago for the Australian outback. Set in 1969, the story has such a nice feel to it. As I read about the place where Ethan lives amongst the men who work Stoney Creek Station, it had a feel of The Thorn Birds about it, which I liked immensely. Amarin, the girl who catches Ethan’s eye is a stunning dark skinned beauty finds herself attracted to the American stranger. Naturally, the locals are not keen on Ethan taking a fancy to Amarin. Ryder, a bully, has it in his head, Amarin is his and goes out of his way to provoke Ethan into a man to man fight.I don’t want to disclose anything else as the book is too good to reveal any secrets. I will say there is a mystery afoot which is a nice break from a typical romance. I truly enjoyed this novel and am very much looking forward to finding out where this all will lead. Great writing! 5 stars
