When Kate loses the last member of her family, she retreats to Farview, a cattle property on the northern tablelands of NSW Australia, to overcome her loss, to be closer to her memories and to take over where her grandmother left off.
But she doesn't expect a Jackaroo to saunter into her home late one night, where she holds him at gunpoint. He introduces himself as Ryan Cross, The Farm Sitter, who remains employed by her late grandmother. According to her will, Kate cannot force him to leave, and it is important for her to honour her grandmother's wishes.
Kate is attracted to the sexy stranger, but suspicion cocoons her. It appears not everyone is willing to admit the truth. Can she trust her confused feelings for Ryan or is he part of the danger?
The Farm Sitter Reviews
-
I like the title of this book "The Farm Sitter" it leaves the reader to wonder about the plot. At first, I wondered is The Farm Sitter a story about the farm sitter and their role in looking after a farm. However, this was not the case. The readers of The Farm Sitter will go on a rollercoaster ride intertwine with the bubbling romance between the Farm Sitter Ryan Cross and the owner of the farm Kathryn Jeffries. Also, the readers of The Farm Sitter will be unable to put the book down due to the twist and turns in the story and wondering who is trying to kill Kathryn. The Farm Sitter will allow readers to learn about undercover police work. Also, reading The Farm Sitter, you will learn about the risks that protection details for law enforcement officers who are involved. I love the way Suzanne Brandyn portrayed her characters, has a reader you feel like you are part of the story. I recommend this book.

From my status updates:
Some really weird dialogue in this book. The storyline is way too complicated with plot lines that are not concluded and one of the most inept and utterly stupid subplots I have ever read.
Kate has returned to her family farm after searching for her sister for the last six months. I couldn't understand why it took her six months? And during this time her grandmother died and she didn't go home for the funeral? What happened to her parent's house which was burned down? Who WAS shooting at her? How come there were SO many policeman there so quickly?
There were too many ??? moments. Where were her parents? (It was later revealed that they'd died years before) Why mention her abusive ex-boyfriend if he wasnt going to appear later on?? It was ludicrous to think that a man whose wife had died of cancer a short time ago previously would say "That's okay. It was eight months ago." EIGHT MONTHS??? That's like yesterday!!
There were moments where I wondered if the author had actually read what she had written. A scene where Kate is told 'Anything is important." and she reels off a list of her old friends and there is NO reason - just a list of names.
The plot was totally confusing. I had no idea whether this was about human trafficking (which was conveniently forgotten later on) or about her missing sister and the ending when the sister reappears was farcical.
And why did her sister not come home??
Simple: Because after the tsunami in Thailand her 'boyfriend' told me the world had experienced a gigantic tsunami and I was better off not seeing things for a year or so.
Give me strength - this is a mature adult we are talking about, not some small child.
Dialogue.
This is one example.
"Marg, something has eventuated. Do you mind...I mean, could you come up here, stay a while?"
eventuated (pass me a dictionary someone)
There were an incredible number of unnecessary deaths which alienated me, (the dog dies as well) and although I liked Kate and Ryan, the story line lacked any sense or structure. -
Not everything is as it seems.
Kate has no family left, and wants to be closer to her memories on a property west of NSW. I felt sorry for Kate at once, and related to her due to the loss of her sister and her grandmother.
I fell in love with the mysterious, hot Jackaroo. Even his background will have you wanting to find out more about him and doesn't he have more. The suspense deepened the further I read with quite a few twists. There was one twist toward the end which tied everything together. Talk about suspenseful. When I got to the end I wanted to keep reading. I didn't want the story to stop. This author stories are getting better with each book she writes, not that I hadn't thoroughly enjoyed her other novels. Loved it. -
Loved this. Full of suspense with an intriguing romance line. Loved how the story ends. I had my tissues out. It was a real heart stopper and page turner.
-
Tried to work through this book twice, unfortunately it was very boring and predictable. I couldn't finish it in the end, which was sad as it sounded like it would be a good read.
-
Instead of an easy to read love story this book ended up being a frustrating read instead. The story line is forced and not flowing, the tension between the main characters is not written in a way that draws the reader in. Its rather a pity, as it could have been a good idea for a book.
