The Australian
Diana Palmer
Harlequin Book so we know the formula, OK Timewaster.
Begins with Priss being picked up at the airport after five years away at college by the "neighbour boy" she left behind her when she went off to Hawaii to live with an Aunt. He is performing a neighbourly duty with cool, almost cold efficiency.
Chapter two jumps back to the day Priss left for Hawaii and John drops in to give her a petting session that goes all the way to third base and an orgasm without hitting a home run. This is a romance novel.
Chapter three sees her in Hawaii.
Finally by chapter 6 we get back to Aussie. Since his mother moved out on him John has moved the widow next door in to cook and give him comfort breaking Priss' heart. No wonder that ride home was rather icy.
But this is a romance and it demands an HEA so the second half will concern the reconciliation and the love fest. John may even finally make the home run. The pair have already had two make-out sessions to titillate the reader. Will the epilogue feature little uns.
What a Georgia Peach knows about fair dinkum is open to question. Dropping a few colloquialisms hardly qualifies as local knowledge.
Of course we repeatedly hear about Priss' beauty and Jake's powerful legs, narrow waist, six pack, muscular chest and broad shoulders. And he's blonde.
