I just finished reading yet another amazing book by local author @donnadmunro. Congratulations on yet another great read. I found myself thinking about the characters as if I knew them personally. I didn't want the story to end. Can't wait for your next book.
If you love a romantic story mixed with adventures, I highly recommend all 3 of Donna's books. The Zanibar Moon, then Kendwas's secret and finish off with Elephant Creek. You won't be sorry. ❤

I loved her latest book Elephant Creek. It is set in Currumbin, so that makes it extra special for me, but as usual Donna has romance, intrigue and a bit of sizzle too with lots of twists and turns. If you haven’t read The Zanzibar Moon and Kendwa’s Secret, read them first and then grab this one. Guys a great idea for a birthday pressie too!!!
Every girl should do themselves a favour and read the three books, they are definitely a nice way to spoil yourself and take some time out to let your mind wander…

“LOVED IT!!! The Zanzibar Moon takes you on a journey from the familiarity of the Gold Coast to an exotic world far away. You never know what lies ahead or what’s right in front of you! Congratulations Donna on a fabulous novel. Today I thought- today is the day I’m going to sit down and read I couple of chapters in the sun. I was up to chapter 13 and was beginning to think I’d never finish the book (too many interruptions). 21 chapters later and I’ve gone through a roller coaster of emotions today. I’ve laughed, cried, empathised, cried again – seriously Donna, I normally don’t cry that much!!! I was so invested in these characters. Congratulations on a fabulous book. I can’t wait to tell all my friends and family about the journey it took me on. Now I have to get back to reality and cook dinner. Again well done – I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!”

I recommend Elephant Creek for an exciting romance and entertaining holiday read.
The story is set around paddle-boarding an inshore creek at an idyllic Australian beachside. The plot has complications with three generations of family members, an electric romance that overcomes dramatic obstacles, climaxing in a helicopter search and rescue.
Emma had started making out with a Tinder date when she met the man of her dreams. Her difficulty in getting rid of the first man and taking up with the second is told by author Donna Munro in this charming novel. Emma is beautiful, smart and loving with a strong interest in pecs, abs and quads.
The story sequels Munro’s book ‘The Zanzibar Moon’. Emma’s mother Ali and her sister continue. Elephant Creek again reveals Donna Munro’s affection for and understanding of Africa and pet animals.
The triumph of this book is her portrayal of Hope, who has Downs Syndrome, who is her hot man’s daughter. Although Hope is disabled, Munro’s story embraces her and she is respected by the other characters for what she is: a lovely young girl.
Because this reviewer is male and enjoyed reading Elephant Creek, it seems more than chic lit. There are critical feminine perspectives on relationships and just the right amount of sizzling love-making. The book chronicles happiness and heartaches in a close family, like Home and Away, with endearing characters whose interactions are closely observed and authentic.

This was a most unexpected story. I found the beginning slow so I had my doubts. Then somewhere around chapter three the story kicked off and what a story it was. The author had a distinctly Australian voice which I loved. The story had so many elements, so many complications. I found myself unable to stop reading. The pacing was terrific and the plot was multifaceted and every storyline was intriguing. Yes, this is a romance but it’s also a story about families and their loving complicated relationships. I loved that it was set on the Gold Coast. I could see every scene clearly, almost had me tempted to return to live on the coast ( nope never going to happen). I enjoyed the back story of the elephant. Noah and Emma were a great couple. ❤
