Evan And Darcy, Melanie Coles

What's the book about:

Jane Austen gets a little dusty in this outback retelling of a beloved story about a man who learns that first impressions can be wrong when you’re looking for Ms Right.

Wheat farmer Evan Bennet is happy being single until his brother falls for the new girl in town, wealthy hotel owner Claire Bingley. Suddenly finding a girl seems more appealing…unless you’re talking about Claire’s best friend, pretentious lawyer Darcy Fitzwilliam. Her cold manners have Evan seeing red, and when a cute girl with links to Darcy’s past catches his eye, he’s even more determined to dislike her.

When a startling revelation turns Evan’s world upside down and he unexpectedly crosses Darcy’s path again, he’s forced to reassess his opinion of her. But just as he starts to open his heart, a crisis engulfs his family, threatening to destroy any hope of a future with Darcy.

With a cloud hanging over his family, Evan knows his chance of winning Darcy’s heart is gone… until some surprising news and a generous gift leave him wondering if her heart might be his after all.

My thoughts on the book:
Evan is a simple country boy who is helping on his family farm since he was six, he loves what he does but he has another passion and he keeps that close to his heart as well. When Claire, Darcy, Jemma and Cara walk into his town and into his family lives things start to change. Will he be able to find love and follow his heart or will he be left putting the family back together when one of them causes the family name into question? 
Darcy has always came from a lifestyle where you don't have always wonder where your next meal is coming from. She is a hard working attorney and making a name for herself when her best friend drags her to this backwards town she doesn't make the best impression on everyone. Her family has there own set of secrets and when they are called into question she wonders if she need to look at herself and the way she was brought up and change things. Will she be able to get the answers she's looking for before its to late or will she loose the one thing she's just found and knows she wants like nothing else? 
I really enjoyed this book while it was slow at some points and transitioning seemed to be frustrating at some points it did not take away to much from the over all story line. The book captures your attention and keeps you wanting more to see whats going to happen it keeps you completely drawn in. I really enjoyed Jamie and Evan's relationship and Claire and Darcy's, it seemed like one of these did not fit but as you get more drawn in it just seemed to work perfectly.  The only thing I felt if I could have changed anything is I would have loved to have Darcy's thoughts and play in the book more I think it would have allow me to connect with her more. 
Over all I would have to say I rate this book a 3.5/4 stars it was enjoyable and completely worth the read.
