Review: The Farmer Needs a Wife by Janet Gover
Helen Woodley had taken a massive risk when she took the job of editor at large for the ailing weekly magazine, Australian Life. But Helen didn’t care about risks or pitfalls. All she cared about was proving her critics wrong by turning the fortunes of the magazine around and showing all those people who had doubted her that she is a woman to be reckoned with. However, if she wants to prove the naysayers wrong, she must first boost the magazine’s circulation and after months of racking her brains, Helen finally comes up with a foolproof campaign which will send circulation figures through the roof: finding wives for the lovelorn farmers of the Australian Outback. But little does Helen realize that this campaign will change not just the lives of the participating farmers, but also her own…
For Greg, this campaign presents an opportunity for him to inject some much needed sunshine in what has so far been a melancholic existence. Having grown up with a bitter father who had never lost an opportunity to tell his only son just how useless he was, Greg has never truly known what it means to be loved and cared for. Now that his father is ill, Greg is desperate to have somebody to talk to, but stuck in the middle of the Outback, he knows that the chances of meeting anyone are slim to none. This campaign could be the answer to all of his prayers – especially as his father’s illness means that he has to forego his dream of being a jewelry designer to take care of the family farm. But not even Greg realized just how special the person who will come into his life will prove to be!
Peter had never got over the loss of his beloved wife, Karen. But after losing her in the most traumatic of circumstances, he vowed never to get involved with another woman again. His sister, Jenny, however has got other ideas. Pregnant Jenny is determined to put a smile on her brother’s face again and when she spots the ad in the magazine, she thinks that she has found the perfect solution. However, there’s a catch: Jenny hasn’t told her brother that Donna Boyd is in fact not the new nanny for his twins, but his new bride…
Matt has no idea that his daughter, Ali, has sent in his picture to the magazine. Romance is the last thing on Matt’s mind. But will a special lady change his mind?
Finally, Leigh decides to send her application on a whim, thinking that a romance is just what she needs to get her mind off her cheating ex-fiancé and the gorgeous neighbour whom she hates…but whom she can’t stop thinking about!
Will romance blossom for these lonely farmers under the hot Outback sun?
The Farmer Needs a Wife is a fantastic contemporary romance bursting with pathos, emotion, humour and heart. Charming and absolutely impossible to put down, make sure you don’t miss Janet Gover’s irresistible debut novel!
