Definitely The Best One Yet!
great adventure, beautiful Australian setting, endearing characters, sweet romance, deep emotions, paranormalish mystery !
I enjoyed the first and second installment of this series, but this feels somehow.
. . I don't want to say different, but perhaps richer , more intense, more fulfilling! Maybe because things slowly fall into place
Im so thrilled that we got to see everything from Marks POV!
The first two installments were from Jims POV.
Its a great, much needed and anticipated change,
Oh. I absolutely love Mark.
Also, we finally get to hear about Marks past, and how he perhaps isnt human,
All is still a big mystery though! And the next part promises to get really interesting :
I'm anxiously waiting for the next, perhaps longer and final installment! Sequel to Walkabout
Bushrangers: Book Three
A novella from the Dragonghosts of Viscaya Universe
New South Wales, Australia,.
As captured outlaws, Jim Kelly and Mark Turner face the gallows, Help comes from an unexpected quarter, but their hasty escape goes wrong and now Jim's life hangs by a thread, Mark is driven by desperation to form an alliance with an infamous bushranger who may hold clues to his mysterious past, But as Jim and Marks relationship intensifies, it is also tested, Their secret is discovered, tempers fray, and jealousy flares, An excellent third installment. This is not the end of the seriies, Please Jack finish the next book, I love books set in the Australian Outback, and to combine that with my love for historical settings, this one is a winwin for me.
I really enjoy the tension and danger theth century brings to a story, especially one in this genre, I mean, seriously, the Outback is perilous enough, but to add to it the possibility of Mark and Jim's relationship being discovered Not to mention they're not exactly good at keeping it on the down low, if you know what I'm saying.
In Dingo Run, Mark and Jim find themselves facing certain death on murder charges until a turn of events has them on the run.
I enjoyed the action and adventure Byrne infused into the story the sense of desperation and urgency these guys feel is palpable.
It's always great when an author achieves just the right balance of romance and action, and I feel Byrne got it just right in this one.
He even manages to throw in a couple of steamy encounters that really heat things up, I think our excerpt is proof of that,
The Bushrangers series is a string of novellas, but don't think that means it's short on story or details, If anything the shorter nature just adds to the draw, since you're getting a great story with a pretty minimal time commitment.
It's easy to get lost in the pages and before you know it, the current installment is drawing to a close, Byrne does an excellent job connecting you to the characters, their surroundings and their predicament, It's definitely worth checking out,

This story opens inNew South Wales and tension is already running high.
Also jumping off from page one are the lovely juxtapositions Jack Byrne manages to make a part of his stories: fear and major uncertainty mixed with quiet tenderness.
Sucks me right in every time,
Mark and Jim's personalities are becoming more and better defined, refined really, in this third installment of the Bushrangers series.
I found myself smiling, I just couldn't help it, They both have their moments of consternation with the other and it feels natural as written,
We also have a mystery on our hands though, it turns out there is more than one, along with one character being reintroduced and a brand new one who seems to hold some secrets, or maybe the secret.
Yeah, there's one of those, too,
The focus of this story is the relationship that continues to build between Mark and Jim, Time has allowed their feelings to not only grow but wind their way around each of them, They're finding it difficult to be separated at any point and miss each other when they are, It's new territory for them both, As are the worry, emotional ups and downs, and the sense that doors they didn't even know to exist have now been thrown wide open.
Yep, I'm going there: not even the huge expanse of the Aussie Outback can contain these two,
I had to!
Ahem, now then, moving on,
Back to the supporting characters I alluded to above: logically, I understand each of their roles and the possible future uses for them, but it added a disjointed feeling to the story for me during some of those scenes.
It's like I was missing certain pieces of the puzzle, concrete pieces that do indeed exist but weren't in the box, I know, I know, what's with the lame metaphors Anyway, you all know that I like surprises in my books, I like to not be spoonfed the obvious, but that wasn't really the case here.
What I do know is that my trust that I've put with this author has been proven an enjoyable investment, even with a choppy flow here and there.
There's something about this story, the writing, the characters, . . I can't quite put my finger on it yet, It's sensual and rugged and hot and tense and tender, So despite any imperfections, I simply find myself feeling relaxed and satisfied when reading all of the stories so far in this series.
The closest I can come to explaining it is this: the settings and characters are so richly layered and intriguing to me, it feels like they're being shortchanged in a novella as opposed to a lengthier work.
The writing talent is undeniable in my book and deserves to have all of the space and time in which to properly and deeply wallow around in a story rife with potential like this.
Maybe if Byrne will write more, I'll be able to figure it out Ya see what I did there, don't ya.
Hmmmm, well this was a bit different, In this book we switch to Mark's POV rather than Jim, who was the narrator of the two previous books, In the review for sitelinkWalkabout I noted that Mark was acting strange and that Jim didn't know quite what to make of him.
Here we begin to realize that all is not as it seems with Mark and that his story will take us down that alternate universe path that the books' subtitle has hinted at.
But those strange tales are mostly left to the novel the author has said he is currently writing, This book is about the escape from jail and the hanging scheduled for the following day, Mark realizes just how important Jim is to him and how far Jim will go to protect Mark's life as well,
There is no cliffhanger at the end of this story, rather a sense of purpose Mark has I enjoyed the story, and the two guys do get closer as Jim learns more about Mark's background, Mostly it seems like a short respite while we wait for the coming book, and it whetted my appetite for more, sitelinkBlog Tour, eARC : Dingo Run by Jack ByrneFree eBooks Giveaway!

Usually it is difficult to get your bearings straight while reading a book that just happens to be the third book of a series of novellas.
Somehow, though, I did not have a difficult time at all, In fact, read as a standalone like I did, this was a totally enjoyable read, As for the back story, I had no difficulties for the author inserted the information here and there and frankly, I did not even miss it.
I just loved reading about Jim and Mark's adventures about running from the law and trying to survive the outback without much means of medicines and fresh food!
Now this is an cowboy adventure story that took me a bit by surprise especially when coming across lines like "preternatural hearing" and "unnatural strength.
" Then there was the scarred ears of Mark which obviously depicted a painful cutting off of the tips, These parts of the story really intrigued me while the rest of it was just part and parcel of the cowboy love story set in Australia.
Aside from the paranormal twist, the romantic interludes and the morbid curiosity and hinted resistance to a same sex relationship were very much expected.
What truly got my attention was the descriptive way this was written that even those who may never have been to the outback could clearly visualize the panoramic scenes as written by the author.
Visual reads are irresistible to me for that makes me 'see' the unfolding of the story in my mind's eye, telling me the author is really talented.
Although, it made my feet tingle a bit when the descriptions went further into the blood exchange scene, That just. . ugh I could imagine my medical technician friends shudder at that, . . although frankly, that is how they did go about things during those times good thing it freaking worked! Sorry, but when medical stuff are part of the story I manage to focus on those scenes :D
As for the rest of it Well, things are going a different way and Mark is just about thinking he may finally get the answers he'd been searching for a very long time.
How it unfolds in the later installments, well, I guess we better follow this series, right,
