About this listen

Seizing his one chance to escape, Ethan Hosking leaves his violent ex-boyfriend, leaves his entire life, and walks into the path of a raging bushfire. Desperate to start over, a new man named Aubrey Hobbs walks out of the fire-ravaged forest, alive and alone. With no ID and no money, nothing but his grandfather's telescope, he goes where the Southern Cross leads him.

Patrick Carney is the resident lighthouse keeper in Hadley Cove, a small town on the remote Kangaroo Island off the coast of South Australia. After the tragic death of his lover four years ago, he lives a solitary life; just him, a tabby cat, the Indian and Southern Oceans, and a whole lot of loneliness. He's content with his life until a stranger shows up in town and turns Patrick's head.

Patrick never expected to be interested in anyone else.

Aubrey never expected to be happy.

Between Aubrey's love of the stars and Patrick's love of the ocean, these two fragile hearts must navigate new waters. If they can weather the storm of their pasts, they could very well have a love that eclipses everything.

Contains mature themes.

Amazing

A beautiful love story of grief, survival, understanding and overcoming. I ended up bingeing the entire book in one go unable to put it down.

Lovely

One of Walker’s gems! It is sweet and gets a little too syrupy at the end, but it is a good plot and fab narration

Beautiful story about starting over

4/5 I listened to this on audio after having read it a couple of years ago. It’s still thoroughly enjoyable. I like Aubrey’s fierce determination even though you can see the scars that have been left of his psyche. Patrick is a genuinely good, kind individual. I loved how they connected over the stars and the ocean, the lighthouse and the penguins. I really appreciated that Scott continued to be valued and the love between Patrick and Scott not diminished because Patrick now cared about Aubrey.

Kangaroo Island sounds like a pretty amazing place, and the barter system makes me happy. I’d love to see the penguins and the seals and the Southern Lights. (I’d have to gear myself up for the gossip and nosiness, lol.) I’m glad how everything resolved, and I liked that there wasn’t too much drama within the relationship itself. There were some pitfalls with the past sometimes looming, but otherwise, they just had honest conversations, were kind and patient, and actually talked about what they wanted. It was very satisfying getting to their HEA.
