About this ebook
Disciplined and pragmatic, Mary Roberts feels she's got her life under control. She's recently moved to Hobart, she's nearing the end of her training as an emergency doctor, and she keeps a tight handle on the wellbeing of her mother and her sister back home in Sydney.
But when it comes to her long-term boyfriend, Felix, Mary's always had a blind spot. That is until she finds another woman's G-string in their bed ...
In need of a temporary escape, Mary signs up to help run a wilderness expedition medicine course. She soon discovers that rock climbing, plunging into freezing cold water, and working in the close company of a grumpy yet disconcertingly magnetic retrieval doctor is pushing her way out of her comfort zone.
Suddenly, everything she thought she knew about herself is starting to unravel. The question is, what will the fallout be? A breakdown in her relationship with her sister? Her mother's brittle mental health reaching the point of catastrophe? Or - most dangerous of all - could Mary Roberts finally be ready to fall in love?

I enjoyed the wilderness course part but after that (and there was a lot) it just felt like Mary was being obtuse and there was manufactured drama, which made it drag. Sorry, not for me. I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley.
About the author
Anna Maynard's experience as a writer had largely been restricted to medical letters and discharge summaries through her years of medical training. So after sitting her specialist medical exams she decided to turn her hand to romance.
When she's not dreaming up fictional heroines and swoony love interests, Anna can be found working in the hospital, pottering in her garden or playing songs with her pop band.
Anna lives in Tasmania with her husband and children. Anna published her debut novel, Dancing with Bees, in 2025. Flowers in July is her second novel.
