When former Olympic Swimmer, Michael Adams—now reluctantly Canada’s hottest reality TV star— insults his fake showbiz wife on social media, he escapes the ensuing scandal and jumps on the first flight to Australia. Desperate to experience ordinary life again—if only for a few weeks—he becomes “Adam”, just another tourist traveling through the Outback. But with a reward out for his safe return and his fame’s nasty habit of catching up with him when he least expects, he needs a disguise… and he’s just found it.
Sweet and scruffy British backpacker, Evie Blake, is taking a year out of her busy London life. Tired of lies and liars, she’s looking for adventure to heal her broken heart. So when the hot Canadian she meets at the campground offers to be her travel partner through Western Australia’s wild Kimberley region, she grabs the chance, unaware he’s got the world out looking for him.
He’s just a down-on-his-luck traveler, right?
From the moment I first read the blurb for this book I had a small voice in my head telling me that I would love it. Well that random voice was correct, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It has everything I want from a book, a gorgeous guy (OK he spends most of the book lieing, but with good reason), a girl who has been hurt by liars in the past, but can't help but feel for the gorgeous guy, travelling around the outback of Australia, a location I rarely see in books, a road trip, and whole lot more besides.
Any book with travelling in is an instant draw to me, and I loved getting to know a part of Australia that I know deep down I probably would never visit in real life, at least not to the extent that Evie and Adam do, due to its sheer vastness and remoteness. I loved reading about life on the road in the Outback, while the pair get to know each other incredibly closely.
Even their first meet was very memorable, featuring a shower block, a chiselled body and Evie who couldn't stop staring!
This is a book filled with adventure, great scenery and a romance where I wasn't completely convinced I'd get the ending I wanted. Easily my favourite parts were the time spent in Australia, I even enjoyed Adam struggling to work out what he could say at all times that wouldn't make Evie realise the truth.
This is a debut book and I really enjoyed the author's writing, the pacing and just the whole story. Felt a bit different to other books in the genre which I found rather refreshing, and very entertaining.
Thank you to the author for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
