The third book about the brothers from Brigadier Station, set in the Australian outback, is another heartwarming story. The characters are well rounded and engaging. The storyline flows quickly and smoothly filled with twists and turns and romantic drama. The story centres on the eldest son and a nurse, both of whom have to deal with difficult pasts and present obstacles placed in their paths. They had a lot to overcome in order to find happiness. I like the fact that the previous couples stories continue in this book. The character interaction and dialogue are well written. I enjoyed this book and the previous two.
Love Australian stories. Wonderful characters, little Hannah is so precocious and adorable! Great second chance story. Really good!
This series is my first read by this author and I enjoyed all three books. I like the casual writing style blended with the good choice of characters and the interesting storylines. I always love when I can find a writer that transports me to their country as if I’m there in person. The fact this series is set in Australia grabbed my interest. The culture and customs and livestyles of this part of Oz was interesting.
The Brothers of Brigadier Station #1 – The story of Lachlan and Meghan and his brother Darcy, which also builds the history and foundation of Brigadier Station and the McGuire family. 4*
The Sky Over Brigadier Station #2 – With Meghan’s wedding approaching, brother Noah is unwilling returning to Brigadier Station after leaving ten years previously. This is his and Riley’s story, which shares more of the McGuire past. I find the work of Australia’s stations interesting, just as I do about American ranches, but was intrigued about another job that is not commonly written about in either country. 4*
The Legacies of Brigadier Station #3 – This story starts almost eleven months after Sky ends. It is Abbie’s turn to find a McGuire to love. This is my favorite of the series, where a lot of the past, the present and the future come together. Terrible things happen, but so do many wonderful things.
While all these books can be read on their own, start with the first story and see the McGuire history unfold. I found this author on Booksprout. 5*
Love blooms like a field of new clover in this beautiful romance!
Lachie has faced his demons and come to terms with his past, just in time for sweet Abbie and her fatherless daughter, Hannah. A cleverly-written twist of fate completely rewrites everything for all three, forcing Lachie and Abbie to reconsider everything they thought about each other, and about themselves.
This is a delightful story of small-town love and redemption, first impressions and second chances, and the triumph of family over adversity. There are a couple scenes that will tug your heartstrings, so keep the tissues handy. I loved this story, especially after getting to know Lachie and his family in the previous two books. Each of the brother’s books is a standalone romance, but I highly recommend reading them together to really get a sense of the family dynamics. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Lachie’s sober, but has a medical problem and needs surgery. Everything goes as planned, but the doctor won’t let him leave because he lives too far from the hospital (just in case). Abbie – the nurse – offers to have him stay with her. She’s a single mom to Hannah, an adorable little girl and the light of Abbie’s life. They begin to spend time together, and seem to enjoy each other. But who is Hannah’s father? Can Abbie and Lachie find enough common ground to find their happy ending? I love this book. This was life exactly how life is – pain, love, suspense, community, family. I read it in one sitting, and am looking forward to this author’s next work.

Lachie wasn’t a good guy in the first two books because he was a drunk. But he sobered up at the end of the second book and he’s become hard working and caring about others. There is an immediate attraction between him and the new nurse Abbie after she takes care of him after his recovery from surgery. And he loves her little daughter Hannah, who loves him right back. But will they take a chance on a recovering alcoholic who didn’t lead a very good life previously? Sad moments and secrets are revealed in this outback romance.
Abbie is a single mother and moves from the big city to the outback where she is a nurse and is raising her daughter Hannah. Lachie is a recovering alcoholic and he and Abbie have some neutral friends. When he needs surgery Abbie steps up to help and they begin a friendship but they both want more but are afraid to make a move. Abbie does not know who Hannah’s father is but when she finds out she is totally surprised and if you want all the details you must read this lovely book.

This is the second book I have read of this series, and I find it a pure delight. The author has done such a good job giving a strong sense of place. I have never been to Australia, but with her descriptions of the land and the use of language, I felt like I was right there. (I even had to look up some Aussie slang.) I really enjoyed this story of Lachie and Abbie’s relationship. Lachie is trying to set himself to rights as a recovering alcoholic; he wants to be a better man than his father was. Abby is a nurse and a single mother to a young girl, who is completely adorable. I am an RN myself, and I did see some issues with the medical parts of it. For instance, they would need to operate on a strangulated bowel coming through a hernia not because of the patient’s pain but because of the potential problems for ischemia (lack of blood flow) and subsequent death of bowel tissue. I can’t quite imagine, too, that it is ethical for a nurse in Australia to take a patient into her home after a hospital stay. But this is fiction, and I won’t give too much of a quibble.
The characterization in this book was excellent as well. You can get a strong sense of both the hero and the heroine, and I love the extended family of Brigadier Station. I love books that realistically portray what it is like to be in a loving, though sometimes too involved, family. While you don’t need to read any of the previous books as this one does stand alone very well, reading other books in the series will give you a firmer sense of place, this family, and all the difficulties they are facing in the Outback. Another exceptional story by this author and in this series.
This author paints a very vivid & true to life picture of the current situation for farmers in the Aussie outback. However some issues are discussed which may disturb some readers.
This is Lachies story where he meets a nurse Abbie & her daughter Sarah all due to incident with him requiring medical attention. There is an instant attraction to the other & Lachie bonds with her daughter. Of course I suspected something & was right however we’re only given tidbits along the way. With Lachies issues involving alcohol & his late father its a long journey for them to find their happiness.
This is another good tale in this series.

All I can say is Wow
It’s great that things have started turning around for Lachie. After hearing what his mom told him about the abuse she and her brothers dealt with from their dad he decided it was time for AA. He was a friend’s birthday party when he had a hernia year & needed surgery. Thank goodness for nurse Abbie. She & her daughter Hannah took him in when he first got out of the hospital. But there is much more going on.
The Legacies of Brigadier Station is the third book in the Brigadier Station series, but reads well as a stand alone. Lachie and Abbie first meet at a picnic when Lachie gets hurt. Abbie’s a nurse and after emergency surgery, she offers her place for him to stay and recover. There’s a familiarity and attraction between them, but Abbie has to think of her daughter. Will Lachie and Abbie figure out their connection and find a future together, or will the secrets and guilt keep them apart?
I really enjoyed reading this book! There’s a lot of real life that can be found in these pages, with difficult times, overcoming your past, striving to be your best, family issues, facing your future… all of that could be found in this book, and I loved that this made the book so relatable. Lachie used to be an alcoholic, but is trying his best to be his best. I loved how well and quickly he responded to Hannah, I loved how he was willing to do anything for his future with Abbie, and I loved the steadiness of his character. Abbie was independent and a protector, but sometimes that went against what her heart wanted. I loved Lachie and Abbie together, I loved their passion and their sweetness, even their arguments, and I loved the time spent with Hannah! This was my first book by this author, and I definitely look forward to reading more!
This is an enjoyable, well written outback love story.
The story highlights the amazing life on the land but also handles the harshness and tragedy that can and do exist.
They are challenged with ups and downs and a past that might bring them together or force them apart.
Having spent time in and around where this story is set it is great to read a story where the outback is shown in is beauty and harsh reality.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book from Hidden Gems in return for my honest review.
The characters were all well done.
The story flowed through a range of emotions, all fitting together well.
The dialog seemed natural (although this California girl needed to look up a few Aussie terms).
I loved this story. In under 200 pages, I got a rich and full experience with lots of feels. I couldn’t stop smiling as the story progressed and truths were revealed. The pacing was nice and the romance was perfect. Replete with a sweet six-year old who loved abundantly. There were some heartbreaking moments, as well, but nicely balanced with the heartwarming. While Legacies can stand well on its own, I think it was a much more rewarding experience to have met Lachie in the previous Brigadier books and to have witnessed the evolution of his character. Overall, a wonderful addition to this series.
I’ve enjoyed reading this series. It eye-opening, heartfelt but most of all happy. You get to see how life is like on a station and realize how hard it is to have a social lifr. Abbie and Lachie discover the truth after 7 years and fight to keep it. Through the struggles they find the love that they want and deserve. That’s what makes this story so good. I hope we get many more reads just like this one. I give it 5 stars. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book as an Advanced Reader’s Copy
Fantastic characters in an amazing outback setting. The Brigadier Station series just keeps getting better and better!
