I absolutely loved Loretta's first to books in this series - The Girl in the Steel-Capped Boots, and The Girl in the Hard Hat - so was very excited to get an early copy of The Girl in the Yellow Vest and I was definitely not disappointed.
This story starts with a wedding in Western Australia(which is a nice follow up from book 2) where Emily Woods finds her life hitting a brick wall, her long term boyfriend has just kicked her out, her engineering job is reduced to counting cracks in the concrete and she is desperate for a change. Her best friend Will (who also happens to be best friends with her ex)saves the day with a job offer with a construction team in North Queensland, that is after he managed to convince his grumpy boss 'Caesar' to employ Emily. But being one of the few females in the FIFO (fly-in fly-out)workforce and an ex who has decided he wants her back Emily's emotions are totally confused, and her best friend being the lovely Will doesn't help.
When Emily arrives in Queensland we are introduced to another storyline which blends in well, Charlotte 'Lottie' is struggling to keep her head above water, between looking after her mum with Alzheimer's, trying to mother her teenage sister and run the resort where the Barnes Inc FIFO workers stay, including Mark 'Caesar' Crawford the obnoxiously infuriating manager. But things are never as they seem and all of us hide secrets but when they start to come out who will get their heart broken?
Girl in the Yellow Vest brings us another collection of strong women struggling to make it in a man's world, while still trying to stay true to themselves. The crazy antics of the Barnes Inc workers and a declaration of love that rivals Mr Darcy for awkward and rude this book will make you laugh, maybe even cry, and make you feel grateful for true friends.
I can't wait to read more from the fabulously talented Loretta Hill!
