Karly's novels are always full and rounded; reading one is like stepping into a new community for the duration and being welcomed in with open arms ... a heart-warming read that will have you flipping the pages long into the night.' Theresa Smith Writes A year after finding her husband and her closest friend in bed together, bestselling author Hayley Stevens was excited to be saying goodbye to the city and heading west to Lochway, a small colonial village sitting on the beautiful Macdonald River. Wanting peace and quiet, Hayley had impulsively bought a cosy sandstone cottage there surrounded by lush rose gardens, with a small overseer's cottage-ideal for a writer's retreat. What she didn't expect was the almost immediate 'gift' of a very noisy donkey named Errol. Nor did Hayley expect to meet her handsome new neighbour, Luke Mason, when she was covered in mud trying to drag Errol out of Luke's dam. The strange thing was though that Luke seemed very familiar to her. As Hayley slowly gains acceptance into her small community and starts writing again she becomes almost afraid of the inexplicable visions she sees. What does it all mean? And why does Luke refuse to listen to her? Written with warmth and humour, Someone Like You is an intriguing, funny and romantic story about past lives and new beginnings. 'Karly Lane's latest book is a must-read ... there's plenty to enjoy in this sweet, rural read.' Gold Coast Bulletin
