Charming the Outback by Leesa Bow
Published by: Destiny Romance
Synopsis:
When jaded city girl Maddy McIntyre packs up and leaves Adelaide for a new job in the country, it’s not only a chance at a fresh start. Six months ago, the first guy she’d ever loved shattered her heart before moving home to Broken Hill. Deep down inside, Maddy is hoping that living in the same town will give her an opportunity to prove to Luke that she’s one temptation he can’t resist.
But when she arrives in Broken Hill, Luke White is not the same guy she knew in the city. And it soon seems very clear that he doesn’t want her there. Although Maddy settles in quickly, excelling at work and partying with her new friends, she can’t understand why Luke is remaining so distant. Particularly when all her instincts are telling her that they’re meant to be together – and that he feels the same burning attraction.
As Maddy learns more about Luke’s family and background, she begins to understand that his mixed messages are caused by balancing what’s expected of him with what he really wants. Maddy gave Luke her heart long ago and, despite their differences, she knows she’ll only ever be happy with her hot country boy. But how can she convince him that she’s the risk he needs to take?

What made you become a writer?
In 2006 my daughter was
diagnosed with bone cancer. At such a stressful time I struggled to read, so I
jotted down my emotions and dreams to distract myself of an uncertain future.
Eventually the notes turned into the essence of a story.
How do you get your inspiration for the
story-lines/characters in your books?
Most of my inspiration comes
from life experiences, family and friends, though sometimes music and other
books incite ideas and characterization.
What genre do you prefer to write about?
I prefer to write
contemporary New Adult, although I have a NA fantasy/romance shelved at home. I
hope to revisit this story at the end of the year.
What are you working on at the moment and when is due
to be released?
Currently I’m writing
contemporary NA with a sport theme, similar to Winning the Player, with an
Aussie Rules football theme. It’s the third book in the series.
Who is your favourite author and your most loved book
of theirs?
My favourite author is
Jennifer Armentrout. My favourite book…
Gosh, all of them but I’m going with Wait
for You.
What do you think of Book Trailers?
Here is the link:
What is your favorite part of designing the book
covers?
My covers are designed by my
publisher Destiny Romance, an eBook imprint of Penguin Australia.
How do you come up with character names?
Some names I just love so I
use them. Other times I Google names, trends and meanings. My eldest daughter
is a teacher and I find some names I like on her class lists. Although, all my hubby
and daughters also offer suggestions.
What character in any of your books
would you say has a similar personality to you?
None and for
very good reason J
Your favorite TV show?
Game of Thrones.
All time favorite movie?
Walk the Line.
Who is your book boyfriend Crush ?
Just one…? Jamie from
Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon. It wasn’t so much his looks but his
heroism.
If a character from any book EVER could come to life
and you could meet them who would it be and what would the first question you
ask them be?
Jamie from the Outlander Series. I
haven’t finished all the books in the series as yet so any questions I have
might already be answered.
What do you love to do when you’re not writing?
Reading. Spending time with my
family or girlfriends. Dinner dates. Days at the beach.
Watching sports, especially
football. Going to the cinema. Hiking on beautiful trails.
What country would you love to visit and
why?
Brazil, as the first book I
wrote is set there, and I find the culture intriguing as well as the country.
What book are you reading at the moment?
All for This
by Lexi Ryan
