Helicopter pilot Ellie Porter loves her job. Soaring above the Kakadu National Park, she feels freed from the questions around her father’s suicide and the heavy loss of her beloved family farm. But when a search-and-rescue mission on the boundary of the old farm reveals unusual excavation works, Ellie vows to investigate.

The last thing she needs is her bad-tempered copilot, Kane McLaren, interfering. He's the son of the current owners of the farm, and her attraction to him is a distraction she can’t afford, especially when someone threatens to put a stop to her inquiries - by any means necessary.

Ellie must trust Kane if she is to have any hope of uncovering the truth. Between Ellie’s damage and Kane’s secrets, can they find a way to open up to each other before the shadowy forces shut her up...for good?

Review

A great read that captures the country, the people and the spirit of Kakadu in solid the characters of Ellie and Kane The Territory character and sense of humour is captured beautifully whilst politics, the ruthless deception in pursuit of power by cold characters add depth and grit to the story.

A wonderful book with all the elements combined. Not simply a romance, but a heartwarming environmental story about the Northern Territory, with suspense and political intrigue to keep the reader on their toes.

A compelling story of love, loss, ancient land, and current political issues. Told among striking scenery and woven around complex characters, "Kakadu Sunset" is a story that will take you on a wild ride through the Australian Outback. If you have ever been to the Northern Territory it will bring back delightful memories. If you have never been, it will only inspire that spark to travel the open road. So hitch up the caravan, put on your hat and shorts, drink a cold beverage and dive into Annie Seaton's "Kakadu Sunset" before the wet season and the storms roll around once more.

Kakadu Sunset by Annie Seaton is an intricate, complex yet easy to follow story with deep characters. Annie blends together very well intriguing elements of both romance and suspense in Kakadu Sunset, with the suspenseful story line leading the way. I liked that Kakadu Sunset was a multi focal story and that all the pieces fit together so well. I felt like I got a bit of everything in Kakadu Sunset...from corruption, modern day environmental issues, relationships, an evil bully, danger, sadness, and at the same time the peaceful feeling of love and caring.

Great storyline....

Reviewed in Australia on 20 March 2020

This book is a really great read. Captivating from start to finish. However the editing is dreadful.....missed words, poor punctuation, make the flow of the story difficult to follow. I was enthralled by "the plot" and pushed through to the end but believe the editing must be addressed. I will read tne next book soon.

Awesome Aussie story

I just loved this story set in the magnificent Kakadu. Ellie is a heroine who I'd love to be friends with. She's smart, capable and fearless. Kane is a good match for her and I loved how their relationship developed. It felt very natural. This story kept me on the edge of my seat and I couldn't put it down!
Looking forward to more from Annie Seaton.

I chose this book because I was interested in the setting of the novel. Being set in Kakadu was interesting and the characters was a mixture of aboriginal and Australian. It was a fast paced novel with a thrilling storyline. I would definitely recommend this author.

A simple and moving storyline. Good characters, with not too much padding put in.
I loved the idea of the timeline in the chapter headings, this showed how life can easily fit within a short timeframe.

Evocative Story Telling

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 March 2016

I loved this story...I read it in a weekend as I couldn't put it down. And after I had read it I wanted to jump on the plane and visit Kakadu for myself, although I'm not too keen on crocodiles anymore! The scene setting and story telling is extremely evocative, and the novel contains a great combination of romance and intrigue. I was particularly impressed with the way I was pulled into the centre of each scene every time. I was no longer lounging in a house in UK suburbia - I was in a helicopter above the Australian bush or riding a car past mango farms... Stunning.

filled with danger and excitement

Reviewed in the United States on 20 September 2020

KAKADU SUNSET is a standalone read. There are sex scenes but none really graphic. It is set in Australia, a rugged country filled with adventure, danger, beauty, and mystery. This for me was a very heavy read. It was way more than I had expected. A love story for sure but also includes a very wealthy man that will stop at nothing to get what he wants. There is murder, corrupt government, blackmail, etc. It was a little hard for me. I'm more use to Pentecost Island and Bondi Beach. Don't get me wrong, this is a great story but it is rough.

Ellie is a helicopter pilot, taking tourist over scenic routes. She is born and raised in Australia and she has a strong love of her country. She is a tough cookie, she takes nothing off of anyone and she is capable of holding her own. She has a lot of sadness in her space. Her beloved father hung himself in their shed. Her mother believes he was murdered. There is a lot of money in the ground below their farm and a very unscrupulous man wants it. He will do anything to get it. Murder is easily on the list. Of course he doesn't do it but he has men that will. She knows something is going on but she is almost powerless to do anything. She really has no idea what she is up against.

The hero of the story is an ex-helicopter pilot that was in the war. A terrible crash killed all his crew members and he holds himself responsible. He is suffering from a lot of guilt and not sure how to help himself. His mother has remarried to a man that just wanted her money. He blew through that and now he is on the take from anyone that will give him money. His wife is dying and he is no where near or willing to be with and help her. It is very troubling.

This story is filled with all the angst you could possibly want. The corrupt politicians and the criminal they are giving into to stay alive are just chilling. I'm sure this is not all fiction! I think it goes on everywhere. There are threats from alligators and snakes. It is full of adventure and you get a great picture of what Australia is like from its beauty to its dangers. it is a good read and I definitely recommend it.

I was not paid for this review. I am a not a writer nor do I know one. I am not kin to this author. I am a reader and this is my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. 9/19/2020

Sue's Reviews

This book desperately needs professional editing and proofreading! One very annoyed star.

Reviewed in the United States on 6 March 2021

Verified Purchase

GOOD GRIEF! Why would an author write a good story, give it a gorgeous cover, and then publish it with no professional editing or proofreading? This poor book is riddled with hundreds of grammatical and typographical errors that any competent editor would catch, sparing its readers a great deal of annoyance and distraction. You'd think this prolific, award-winning author would know how to do things right!

My reviews usually include a plot summary, but not this time. I seriously need to vent. Yes, I'm annoyed. I read and review dozens of books every year, and I especially enjoy books about Australia. In fact, some of my favorite books were written by Australian authors, and they earned my highest recommendations. When the cover and blurb of Kakadu Sunset drew my attention, I expected another enjoyable read. Ha!

There's nothing enjoyable about missing or misplaced words and punctuation, but the paragraphs were the biggest annoyance. Lines of dialogue between two people were often crammed into a single paragraph with little or no punctuation, forcing the reader to try to figure out who was saying what! To make things worse, paragraphs would suddenly stop in the middle of a sentence and start a new paragraph for no reason at all. What the heck? Does this author know nothing about proper book formatting? If that's the case, she should hire someone who does. It's neither difficult nor expensive.

As I said, this story is actually quite good, with a likable hero and heroine, a beautiful Australian setting (Kakadu National Park), and a suspenseful plot, so I ignored my urge to delete it from my Kindle and read it clear through to the end. With proper editing, this book would easily merit four stars. Sadly, in its current condition, I can't give it more than one. (A note to the author: Please respect your readers by giving this story the professional attention it deserves. Thank you.)

FABULOUS page turner.

Reviewed in the United States on 16 March 2016

WARNING: Kakadu Sunset is a sumptuous page turner that you won’t want to put down.

I read a lot of good books but every once in a while there will come a book that will make me go WOW! Kakadu Sunset is definitely one such book. The setting, the characters, the pacing, the gripping suspense, romance and friendships are all excellently done. Annie Seaton always tells a good story but she’s out done herself with Kakadu Sunset.

The setting is fabulous, Kakadu National Park. Through the eyes of her characters, Annie Seaton, shows you the sweeping grandeur and atmosphere of the land and what it’s like to live there. She also shows why people will fight to keep it safe and beautiful.

The plot is taken right from the headlines. The environmental dangers of fracking and the immense amount profits to be made on such minerals rights and the lengths some will go to get that money.

The characters are well drawn and you can’t help but care about them all. Ellie Porter sparkles and she has a lot of heart and integrity. She loves the land but is still struggling with the loss of her father and the family farm and her grief makes it hard for her to open herself to love and loss. Then there is Kane, a former military pilot suffering PTSD. He’s feast for the eyes but, despite the damage of war is still tough and honorable. War and loss has closed him off from emotion. The romance between the two is fraught with emotional and physical danger and secrets, but it’s good and it mattered to me, as the reader, that they take the chance. You’re cheering them on. Ellie’s friends and Kane’s mother were also great characters. The villain is well done and three dimensional and I not only loathed him but wanted him squashed—for him people were things to be manipulated and tossed away like so much rubbish. He did quite a bit of tossing away.

The dangerous stakes involved also made me question my own principles; how far would I go to protect my family?

The story moves fast and the tension and danger builds with each scene. The author does a great job of making the characters matter. What makes the story even better is just when you think you have it figured out the author ups the stakes and throws in a few surprises. The ending was very satisfying and well done.

If you like romantic suspense that grips you and doesn’t let go, THIS is the book to read this summer! I’m eagerly awaiting the next two!

Ellie's life had been shattered when her father died. She seemed to have lost both parents, since her mother never really recovered from her father's death. Her two sisters had left home and they hadn't been close since. Thank goodness for her father's best friend. He had encouraged her to follow her dream and become a helo pilot, and with a guarded heart, she had found happiness back in her home territory, flying hotel guests over the beautiful lands of Kakadu National Park.
After a visit with her mother, she couldn't wait to get home and back to flying, but on her way back, she watched several large trucks with huge pipes on them, turn into one of the access roads to the mango plantation depth at had been her family home. The sight sent a chill through her. Why would anyone need that equipment and what was going on? Finding out could get her killed!
