Consequences by Gillian Wells is a story about family, love, heartache, loss, abuse and determination to overcome the challenges life throws at you.
Consequences is the second book in the series. We follow Rachel and Mike from the first book “Alone.” The first chapter fills you in on everything you need to know about Rachel and Mike’s history.
Rachel and Mike have been married for 5 years. Mike has been left an inheritance which he invested into Rachel’s property, which makes it now their joint Braham Cattle Stud. They have restored the old homestead into a plush holiday let and their business is a success.
Rachel has a wonderful relationship with Mike’s two children Emma and Ben. The two children spend school holidays with them, learning and loving all things related to the farm.
Finally, life is perfect for Rachel. She has a husband and stepchildren who love her, and a successful business.
Of course, Rachel and Mike are busy people with all the normal problems of running their own property.
When Rachel meets Mike’s ex-wife, Clarrie, she liked her straight away. But, she instinctively didn’t like Keith, Clarrie’s new husband.
Step children and teenage years can be challenging. However, Rachel senses there is something quite serious happening to make Emma behave the way she is. What can she do about it, as after all, she is just the step mum?
Mike has his own problems with his own family. They have been most welcoming to Rachel, but now they are dragging them into their issues. Unwell and aging parents, plus three brothers and families all living and working on his parent’s property. Things are not running smoothly. All are having a say in the running of the business.
Twists and turns from Rachel’s own past arise, with a surprise that shocks her. She has some tough decisions to make as this could change the future for both her and Mike.
Together Rachel and Mike work through these and more challenges they have been dealt.
All Rachel really wanted was a quiet life!
There are many twists and turns and surprises. What are the consequences for Rachel’s future if she fights back?
Gillian Wells takes some sensitive issues and deals with them in a realistic and sensitive manner.
It is a great read, one you can’t put down.

I love to read, any book on any topic. I now love ebooks as they are easier to store, I was running out of bookshelves! My other interests are family, gardening and our beautiful King Charles spaniel dog who is my reading companion.
I hadn’t read Alone before reading Consequences however this did not matter. The book was great as a standalone too
I really enjoyed reading this book and the authors writing style. It was an easy read and I will be reading Alone too
Thank you for the opportunity
Thank You for allowing me to read the follow up book to Alone. Consequences didn’t disappoint either. Just when Rachel gets her life back and gets her man and a family there’s always someone to rock her boat. It helped knowing Rachel and Mike’s back story but not essential. I would highly recommend this book it’s something I felt we can all relate to in some way or another and you just want the best for someone who’s had it rough. Very good story
