I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

Cora Cabot’s life is falling apart. So when her Australian friend announces she’s secured an internship in the States, Cora has a brilliant idea: house swap! Small-town Australia sounds like the perfect getaway. Only, when she gets there, the house isn’t empty. Turns out her friend’s hot Australian brother is staying there, too—and he doesn’t look happy to see her.

The last thing Trent Walters needs is a roommate for the summer. Especially an American who immediately floods the house and single-handedly destroys the family project his sister created for their parents’ anniversary. Now, not only does Cora insist on helping fix the house, he needs her help re-creating the family scrapbook. And glitter is not his forte.

But between late nights cooking, pints at the local pub, and competitive matches of cricket on the beach, Cora starts to break through Trent’s defenses. Too bad Cora made a promise to return to working with her father at the end of the summer—a promise she can’t break—because this holiday is starting to feel like one she never wants to end.

An utterly delightful meet-cute lays the foundation for love in our second visit to Patterson’s Bluff! With an adorable house-swap foundation Stefanie London entices her reader into Cora and Trent’s story HER AUSSIE HOLIDAY and it’s sure to please. Both characters are attention grabbing and have colorful back stories to hold our attention as their daily snark turns into foreplay that warms up the Australian summer more than ever!

Cora Cabot is adorably sweet and pretty irresistible. She’s a wanna-be novelist who listens too much to those around her instead of to her own heart, but being a people pleaser is all she’s ever known. She may be tempted by all that Australia is bringing to her otherwise boring life, but she knows in a month’s time she’ll be back in New York hard at work for her father.

Trent Walters is a doll. He’s gorgeous, he’s hard-working and he adores his family. What we don’t know is what the secret is that’s controlling the decisions he makes day in and day out. He’s got the world at his fingertips, but chooses to put it on hold time and again.

I highly recommend this story as well as the earlier book in the series to anyone who loves a romance filled with fun characters, sexy connections and so much heart you can’t help but smile throughout. I’m anticipating my return trip already!
