Home to the Outback is a starter novel to the Welcome to Bunya Junction series. It's a small-town romance between two adults. Ryan has recently dissolved his partnership with who he thought was his good friend. When his mentor passes away, he moves back to his small hometown where he reconnects with Sindy, his old friend's sister. This book reminded me of the TV show, Hart of Dixie, if it were set in Australia.

I really love this author – her stories are so easy to read and really enjoyable. I really liked Sindy and Ryan, they were both really lovely characters and I loved reading about them. The authors way with her characters makes them really likeable and relatable and I found that to be the same in this book as previous ones. I felt the heartbreak of the characters and I was definitely rooting for the two of them the whole way through. They seemed to have a genuine connection which felt real and not forced!
I would definitely recommend this book and as always, I look forward to more from this author again in the future.

This is a nice story. The two mc haven't seen each other for years and he is her brother's bestie from years ago. Those are some of my favorite tropes to read. While I enjoyed this story I didn't love it. All the elements are there other than the narrative. There is a lot of thinking in their heads even while having conversations. So a couple pages could go by before one would answer the other. To be honest I just started skipping to the dialogue so I could stay in the moment.

I loved the idea of a small town in Australia. It's different but yet the same and we meet some wonderful characters. Her brothers are great and I could see stories being built here.

Overall its nice, lighthearted and fun. I will check out others in this series.

This is a cute romance story that I enjoyed from beginning to end. This is not a new author for me and this is one of my favorites by her yet. This is a well written story about Sindy who has to return home a little broke and takes up practice as a nurse. She is doing great on her own until he pops up in her life again. Ryan has come home only to find that he has been given half of a practice, the other half is owned by her. He has no intentions of staying all that long but will he change his mind? These two never expected to be thrown together in one practice nor did they expect what happens to their hearts. I enjoyed the growth of these two and what they brought to the story. They are connectable and really just made the story for me. I also enjoyed their chemistry together. I found myself hoping that they would get a happy ever after at the end. This is a fun, entertaining, engaging story that I had a hard time putting down. It was a great afternoon read. I highly recommend this book.

This book brought a lot of emotion on for me, but in a good way, it really was enjoyable in more ways than one. I really connected with the characters, especially as I went through learning about them and the events that made them who they were to where we are at this point in time. It was hauntingly beautiful at times, and the story itself brought on more emotions for me, but in a good way I would say.

Sindy and Ryan were two souls, who basically have their life's set, and the choices they made defined them. In truth though, were these choices ones provided by longings of their heart or just what their brains may have have thought best suited for them? Through a wake of sadness, of a character that had passed, that really helped define Sidney and Ryan, brings them both together, there may be some unexpected occurrences brought on by this. They inherit a late doctors business. To one character he was their true father figure, and to the other they were a employer as well as a good friend, The pain and loss brings on a lot of emotions and not understanding how Sidney and Ryan came to gain this business.

Through their time together, there were moments of where they seemed to be fed up with one another. Other times, they opened up and about their pain and suffering and where they came from, and I felt for them both separately . If there was not enough going on, Sidney has to deal with her past again in a bad way, trough this lets say suspenseful time, it brought these two souls together and they really for one another. Realized its not just chemistry that this perhaps could be the best thing that ever happened to them, only if they allowed it and fought for it. Sometimes you get called home, not because you think tis a good idea, because sometimes the best things can be found where your life first began. Watching them grow closer was beautiful in many ways, and I loved how the story went for sure!

The book made me feel many thing as I said. The warm soothing feelings it brought, as well as the tear falling moments. All in all, we can not deny this is an wonderful book to read, and its a book I will defiantly will re read again. I would want to revisit this town and characters again with no doubt.. The author did an wonderful job of the character development and all the surrounding components. Really enjoyed reading! This is one, I think all of us need to read, its not one to be missed and that's a fact.

This was a very heartfelt novel. The author brings the past and future together for both Ryan and Sindy to life with tenderness. They have damaged pasts they need to heal from, making trust a huge issue for both.. Ryan is a prominent plastic surgeon in the big city of Sydney until he is blindsided. Sindy is a nurse for the local doctor. Due to unforeseen circumstances he is rushing back to Bunya Junction at lightning speed. Sindy and Ryan cross paths for reasons they both can not comprehend. Life is about to take a turn for the two of them. Looking forward to book 2

“Home to the Outback” was a fantastic read. Sindy Carruthers and Ryan Flanagan had an undeniable chemistry on-page, and the story was stunningly well-crafted. Even the background characters were written well. I enjoyed every word that I read, from the beginning event to the sweetest ending. Finishing the book left me with the desire to read the next (and as many as Nicole Flockton writes in the future). I truly recommend this book to anyone looking for a sweet, easy yet engaging read.

I can always count on Nicole Flockton to deliver an enjoyable story as was swept along on another wonderful read! This story definitely had all the ingredients to hold my attention- right from beginning to end. I enjoyed the story so much I read it in one sitting.
Home to the Outback is the first book in the Welcome To Bunya Junction series by Nicole Flockton. This is a contemporary romance, ’my best friends’ sister’ type story with Ms. Flockton’s own unique touches. There also plenty of emotion, drama, some danger, and secrets- all set in a small country town called Bunya Junction in the Australian outback.
Sindy Carruthers returned to her hometown three years earlier, when life got ugly. She has made a new life for herself managing the local medical clinic and feels like she finally has her life back on track. But with the death of the local doctor- life once again throws her a bit of a curve ball- in the form of Dr. Ryan Flanagan who arrives to attend the funeral of his friend and mentor. Then to make things even more complicated, they find that they have both been named in the will. Gaining a half share in the medical practice. Add a little danger, secrets, drama, and angst, and we have a captivating story.
A great start to this new series and I am really looking forward to reading the rest of the instalments!

Thank you, Nicole Flockton!

I liked this story. It was cute and had it’s steamy moments. I wish there was more Collin stuff. His heart seems so pure. Maybe a prequel to the series?

I loved Ryans growth in the story. I thought everything about his character was realistic. From his fear of rejection to getting beneath the shield he wore to his true self. I want to know more about his family and the decisions they made for him.

Sindy was likable and encompassed a small town girl next door feel. Family oriented, Sweet, but tough.

Home to the Outback is an adorable story about fate, forgiveness, love, growth and healing. If you’re looking for a feel good happy endinddg then this is the book for you.

Home To The Outback is the first book in the Welcome To Bunya Junction series by Nicole Flockton. I have read a few books by Nicole Flockton and have always enjoyed them, so was looking forward to reading some more of her work. I’m really glad to have read Home To The Outback as I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Home To The Outback is a great contemporary romance where we get the story of Cindy and Ryan. Cindy moved back to Bunya Junction 3 years previously after a disastrous relationship and is not the nurse at the local doctor’s practice. Esteemed plastic surgeon Ryan returns to Bunya Junction to attend the funeral of the doctor of the practice who had brought him up. So how will things pan out when the deceased doctor leaves Cindy and Ryan half of his practice each? To add to the mix, Cindy is the twin sister of Ryan’s best friend Scott.
I really enjoyed reading Ryan and Cindy’s story. The author grabbed my attention at the very beginning and I was excited to read what was going to happen next. I do love a small town romance and this is a great example of that. You can really see the camaraderie and kinship of the locals.
I would say that I can’t wait to read the next book in this series but I’ve already devoured that, right after finishing this one.
This is a fantastic series and I’d definitely recommend it to others.
