'A family for keeps
Time with his son is precious to surgeon Nick Devlin. He knows he hasn't been there enough for his boy, but going to Crocodile Creek Kids' Camp will change all that.
The last person Miranda Carlisle expects to see at the camp is Nick. Their one passionate night together in medical school left her brokenhearted. She's determined to keep her distance, yet watching him struggle to bond with his child tugs at her heartstrings.
She knows she can help Nick be a father to his son, but opening her heart to him again will take courage. Luckily, the warmth of Nick's smile is making her feel brave....' (Publisher's blurb)

The Wide Brown Land and the Big Smoke : The Setting of Australian Popular Romance
2012
single work
criticism
— Appears in: Sold by the Millions : Australia's Bestsellers 2012; (p. 82-95) 'People (90% of them women) often read romance novels to learn about another place (see Radway 60-61). We will consider this with reference to some Australian romance novels published in the last decade. Readers with an interest in those published between 1950-2000 are invited to consult From Australia with Love (2004). Australia's romance novelists know that the vast majority of their readers live outside the country and they take pride in accurately describing both it and 'typically Australian' characters. This chapter will examine how far their portrayal of the natural or built environment reflects Australian reality, although any generalisation is unreliable. There are several dozen Australian currently publishing romance novels. Over the years there have been dozens more. Harelequin Mills & Boon, on whose output this chapter is based, published fifteen titles by Australian authors in February/March 2010 alone and there are of course other publishers.'
