A dilapidated house, a city girl looking for a tree change, and a rugged vet with a past. Just another day in rural Australia…

Just ten days after her fresh start in the isolated Snowy Mountains, Samantha Walker trips over a three hundred pound pig and lands in the arms of Dr. Ethan Granger – and the firing line for gossip. It was hardly a 'date' but sparks of the sensual kind are difficult to smother in a community of only 87 people. Now there's a bet running on how long she'll stay and what she'll get up to while she's in town.

Ethan has his own issues – Sammy's presence in his childhood home brings with it painful recollections of family scandals and a bad boy youth. When the gossip around them heightens, his life is suddenly a deck of cards spread on the table for all to see. Then Sammy's past catches up with her... and it looks like all bets are off.

About the Author

Jennie Jones loved everything with a romantic element from an early age. That's why she became an actor before she started writing, touring the UK's grand old theatres, becoming someone else for two hours, eight performances a week, and loving every second.

She's been an Aussie with Welsh roots for over twenty years and wouldn't have it any other way. She's been writing for six years and says she can't imagine writing, like acting, will ever get boring.

Jennie currently lives in a small country town in Perth, Western Australia with Jonesey the boy cat and Zena the warrior girl cat. Plus Churchill the 50 kilo rescue dog, and the occasional sighting of her twenty year old daughter.

Enchantment and Igniting Passion.

Reviewed in Australia on 22 February 2015

Verified Purchase

YES ! Definitely deserving of 5 STARS...
How many of you Ozzies know that dreamy television vet, Chris Brown (Bondi Vet) ??
Well, I saw him in every scene of this story....
Ethan is a gorgeous, tall, well muscled and all man! He is also the local vet who falls head over heels for a stranger who is new to his country town.
She doesn't know what she is in for, and if he thinks the going will be easy, he's in for some shocks of his own.
For any us who have experienced true love, then the old saying, "true love never runs smoothly" is realised in the pages of this story.
Humans are strange creatures. We often know what we want and yet, beat around the bush always trying to get it right and yet, somehow managing to mess things up.
Ethan and Sammy are no different and at times I wanted to yell at them to get on with it, because both were smouldering underneath a faÃÂ§ade. You FEEL their passion and love and the strong pull of their in-tuned hearts. I don't wish to ruin the story by giving away anything accept to say, this would make a wonderful movie not unlike Clancy of the Overflow.
With the back drop of the beautiful snowy mountains in Australia (so different) it MAKES picture perfect.

Aussie-style Mills and Boon

Reviewed in Australia on 17 November 2015

Verified Purchase

I bought this book without realising that it is basically Aussie-style Mills and Boon. I nearly gave it up after the first chapter, after reading the sickly sweet descriptions of the main characters and the improbable first meeting, but I had paid for the book so I didn't want to give up.

It did get better. When the author focuses on progressing the story, rather than silly descriptions of glimpses of skin etc, this is not a bad story. There is way too much emphasis on physical attraction, at the expense of real emotional intimacy. The characters are believable, if a little superficial. By far the best part of the book is the author's ability to capture the Australian small town.

So, in summary, not a bad storyline, but too much Mills and Boon physical descriptions and superficiality.

I am a little disappointed in this book as the beginning would turn most readers off for its silliness. I was relieved that it did improve a tad, but to be honest, it reminded me of a Doris Day movie - just a bit empty!

Light, loveable and Aussie

Reviewed in Australia on 16 February 2014

Verified Purchase

I admit that I'm a sucker for a good escapism romance every now and then. Preferably one set in the beautiful Australian Bushland where many tales are made but too often lost. I loved the setting and I thought the characters were perfect for this plot. The end did get a little dramatic and messy but I really enjoyed the description and local history woven through. I even had dreams about the house on Burra Burra Lane after it came alive with intricate details.

Very much like a "penny" love story with the trials and tribulations ...

Reviewed in Australia on 3 May 2016

Verified Purchase

This book is very light reading and is definitely fictional. Very much like a "penny" love story with the trials and tribulations of a small town and the gossip within it. Plus the love story in between. I have read all five books in the series and they are all the same. Same town, same story line and the same happy ending, just different people who have come and gone from Swallows Falls. You get bored reading them and have a tendency to skip pages. Would not recommend as intelligent reading

I loved this book

Reviewed in Australia on 30 November 2015

Verified Purchase

I loved this book! A real pager turner! The suspense was built up and the conflict between the characters kept me wishing they would get over it and stop being so frustrating! All the elements of a good romance. Just not enough! So I have brought the next one and hope to meet these characters in some form here too.

Reviewed in Australia on 23 February 2015

This was a lovely, simple story - easy to read but with enough going on to keep me wanting to find out what was going to happen next. Liked the mix of dialogue and descriptions, and the easy transitions between the thoughts of the two main characters.

Happy endings is one of the reasons we as readers ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 September 2014

Verified Purchase

No matter whether one sees the writing on the wall or knows what the outcome, there is always something lurking that may make you think otherwise. Happy endings is one of the reasons we as readers take joy in reading to the very end and getting that 'feel good' feeling that alls' well with the world. Jennie Jones in her debut novel does all of that and more. A delightful read and I look forward to her next novel set in Australia.

Very disappointing book. Very rarely do I give up on a book as I choose carefully but this one is not well written and the characters are one dimensional. I gave up after several chapters and it is consigned to my Kindle - Not very good file!!!!!!!!!

A really good read

Reviewed in the United States on 11 June 2013

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed this book from the first page to the last as I read well into the wee small hours to finish it in one sitting.

Jennie Jones does a great job of encapsulating the joys, the triumphs and the tribulations of small, rural town life, where everyone knows everyone else... she creates memorable characters from Ruby the pet pig, to Ethan, the hunky vet with a shadowed past who moonlights as a carpenter in his spare time, and Sammy, the new girl in town, and all the townsfolk who run a bet on how long this city girl will hack the slow pace of Swallow Falls. This book is so full of detail that by the end you feel you've vicariously lived these people's lives, quirky humour, pride, faults and all.

In my opinion this book would comfortably sit on the bookshelves alongside and compares very favourably with great authors like Debbie Macomber, Sharon Sala, Nora Roberts and Susan Mallery. Jennie Jones has a real gift, she brings rural town Australia, with all its quirks and foibles, into vivid life.

This is one book that I will go back and read again so I can savour the detail and colourful array of characters all over again...from Ruby, the pet pig, to the wise and far seeing Grandy, the patriarch of Swallow Falls.

My favourite quote... " though why they call him junior has me beat, he must be at least sixty years old." To me this sums up the flavour of this book, and I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Aussie rural romance

Reviewed in the United States on 15 June 2013

Verified Purchase

This was such a wonderful, warm-hearted book. Jennie Jones captures the country of the Snowy Mountains beautifully. Dreams have been fought for there, lost and recovered. Ethan is a strong hero whose vulnerability is believable. We've all settled for self-imposed limits and thought we were being wise. Sammy, the heroine, is instantly likeable. She has courage, even if she doesn't think so, and her enthusiasm and energy sparkle through the story.

All of that said, it's the ending of the story that really sold me -- and which I can't share with you because of spoilers. A believable, enveloping, yet real ending. Loved it.

*I'm another Escape Publishing author, I've met Jennie (who is a sweetie) and we're both members of the Romance Writers of Australia. So that's full disclosure. And I really did enjoy "The House on Burra Burra Lane".

The House On Burra Burra Lane by Jennie Jones was a phenomenally turbulent, emotional read that beguiles the reader with it's passionate characters, sizzling chemistry and boundless community spirit throughout the book. Surprises aplenty all through the story and many loveable characters make for a tremendously impressive read and entertaining story from the start of the book right through to the finish. Be drawn to the captivating characters of The House On Burra Burra Lane and the many challenges they face throughout the story. Ethan and Sammy shine through the pages with their sentiments, reserved emotions with a showdown that swill surprise the reader. A beautiful story with equally beautiful characters.
