Release Date: February 15, 2015
Synopsis
Max Henry thought he’d left the dusty flats of Ballan behind, but when the past slams into his present, suddenly there is no escaping – even if he wanted to.
Melanie Sheehan didn’t set out to be a liar, but her last
lie landed her in big trouble. Now Mel must suffer a harsh consequence – she’s
not allowed out of her father’s sight.
No friends, no parties, no life.
Since impeccably good behaviour is now all she’s about, her
dad, renowned Ballan local ‘Bluey’ Sheehan, is about to finally cut Mel some
slack. The catch? While he heads out of town on business, she has to stay at
the Onslow Hotel, and he’s entrusting Max Henry, the eldest son of Bluey’s best
mate, to look out for her.
He just doesn’t know it yet.
Max, the new head barman at the Onslow Hotel, is
the one boy Mel has been crushing on since forever. At a time when Mel plans to
go on the straight and narrow, she is about to tell the biggest lie of all.
Will Max be able to handle the fiery farm girl or should he be considered the
last boy in Onslow to trust?

Review
★★★★ stars
The boys of Onslow are guys I love reading about. I've been wanting Max's story for a long time. I'm so very glad it's finally here. I always wish the stories are longer, and we get more time with them, but C.J. Duggan has a way of making short stories feel long.
I first met Max in Ringer's story. I didn't learn much about him other than he wanted out of Ballan and didn't think highly of his sister. I thought Melanie was adorable. She's had a crush on Max since she was a child. I loved how she blushed around him. Even though she'd gotten into some adult trouble, she was still innocent at heart. I loved seeing Max realize Melanie was no longer the little girl he knew. He wanted to be around her but didn't know why. He also enjoyed teasing her, which I thought was adorable.
I wasn't a big fan of the charade Melanie and Amy carried off. I thought they took it too far, and I was worried it might ruin things for Max and Melanie. Luckily it didn't, although I have the feeling if it ever comes out some where down the line, it might make trouble. I liked seeing Bluey, Sean, and the boys I've read about in other books and novellas. I'm very excited Chris's story is next! Like I said, I can't get enough of the Onslow boys!
