We are delighted to welcome back Nic Starr to Sinfully today as she celebrates the release of her new novella, Runaway. Go check it out and don’t forget to enter the giveaway.
A big thank you to Sinfully Gay Romance Book Reviews for hosting me today as I celebrate the release of Runaway.
Runaway is my latest release. It’s part of the Dreamspinner Press World of Love collection. The World of Love stories are “contemporary romances spotlighting the unique features, qualities and attributes of a specific country as well as the universality of love wherever it’s found.”
The story of Nate and Damien takes place in the Australian state of New South Wales, starting in a small country town on the north coast, followed by time spent in Sydney. To celebrate the release of the book, I thought I’d share some of my beautiful city of Sydney with you all.
So far on this blog tour I’ve spoken about some Sydney icons, Bondi Beach, drinking wine on an island in the middle of Sydney Harbour, being part of a ferry race and bushwalking through the suburbs. Today I’m heading to the north side of the Harbour Bridge to Luna Park!
Here’s the smiling face at the entry to the fun park.
I’ve been going to Luna Park since I was a kid. There are the usual rides and sideshow games, but it all takes place right on the edge of the harbour. This means the view from a lot of the attractions is amazing. I’m not so much into the rides any more – not that I ever really was because I get sick on anything that spins around quickly LOL – but have discovered a new way to enjoy the park.
For a period in the warmer months each year, the Ferris wheel becomes a restaurant! Each gondola is set with linen table cloths and flowers to become a private dining setting. A three- course meal is served and then enjoyed while circling about the park.
Here is the view from the gondola, a photo taken while my hubby and I were enjoying a romantic night out.
There’s a webcam at Luna Park that overlooks the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and Opera. Click here if you want to take a live peak at the action (make sure you check it out in Sydney day time as well as night).
I hope you liked seeing a little piece of my city and enjoy experiencing a little more when reading Runaway.

Synopsis
Dr Nathan Powell is ready to settle down near his family, and hopefully find the man of his dreams. He returns to the small coastal town where he grew up, but while life is simpler than it was in the city, there are also complications—like patients’ reactions to an openly gay doctor. And like running into Nate’s first love, Damien, an out-and-proud local business owner who is unwilling to be any man’s dirty secret. The reunion reignites old desire even while it stirs up Nate’s guilt over the way things ended with Damien.
When Nate’s nephew runs away, Damien accompanies Nate on his mission to find the young man. The drive to Sydney, and the search of the city, gives Nate time to reconnect with Damien—and to wonder if he made the right decision years ago—when he determined a future for them was impossible. Is a fresh start realistic for two men in their forties? But before he can ponder the second chance they’ve been given, Nate must locate his nephew.
World of Love: Stories of romance that span every corner of the globe.

DeleteThanks for sharing your little bit of Australia - I hope I get to go one day but all the lay-overs and long plane rides (and the cost) so far have scared me away :)
