Beneath Outback Skies by Alissa Callen is such a cute romantic read.  This story takes place in the rural farmlands of Australia following the life of Paige Quinn.  The way Callen describes the farmlands, the reader feels like they are right there alongside Paige while she completes her daily chores.Paige Quinn returns to her childhood home to help her father run the daily life of the farm, Banora Downs.  Her mother had passed away and her father had been injured in a farming accident that made him unable to run the family farm any longer.  Paige was the only one there to run the farm and it was sinking under from a horrible never-ending drought that forced many families to sell their farms.  That’s when Tait Cavanaugh comes to the farm as a paying guest from the city for “rest and relaxation”.  But really he was there for his own personal reasons and on behalf of Paige’s father, Conner, to write up a business plan for the farm.  Unfortunately for Paige, she was not privy to this information.  Over the next couple of days, she found herself falling under Tait’s pretty boy looks.  But why all the secrets?  Will the Banora Downs survive?  Will it ever rain!?This is such a light romantic read that you find yourself not wanting to put it down.  It draws you right in and you are constantly wondering if the drought will ever break and what Tait is hiding from everyone?  The characters that Callen creates make you fall in love with this book and the characters themselves, making you want the story to never end.  I give Beneath Outback Skies 4 stars.  I would highly recommend it to anyone that likes light and fun romantic stories.
