Don't You Want Me Baby? by Rachel Dove #Review

  I am delighted to be on the tour to celebrate the latest romcom by R achel Dove,   Don't You Want Mr Baby? which was published by  Boldwood Books on 15th November .    Amber Fitzpatrick is about to hit thirty and has achieved none of the things she hoped to have done by now. Her dreams of owning her own business seem out of reach. Her boyfriend has just dumped her and now her biological clock is clanging in her head. But maybe Amber doesn’t need a man for the next stage of her life? Maybe as an independent woman she can have a baby all by herself? There’s only one problem. Handsome but excruciatingly annoying best friend Tyler Williams. Tyler thinks Amber’s motherhood plans are plain crazy! She just needs to wait for Mr. Right to come along…and maybe he’s closer than she thinks? But with Amber hellbent on doing it alone, Tyler sets out to prove to her that being her best friend could also come with excellent benefits…if only she's brave enough to take the chance.

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for Carol Wyer's Suddenly Single. This romantic comedy was published by Canelo  on 8th April 2019. 
 
When bestselling romance author Chloe Piper’s marriage implodes a week before Christmas, she flees her cheating ex and the village gossips for the solitude of the newly built Sunny Meadow Farm and the company of her hapless dog, Ronnie.

But Chloe is soon pushed out of her comfort zone. Because with a lively development building crew – headed up by charming Alex – and a larger-than-life neighbour determined to make Chloe’s love life her pet project, Chloe finds herself in a whole new world of chaos…

This enthralling romantic comedy of self-discovery and new beginnings is perfect for fans of Kirsty Greenwood, Colleen Coleman and Marian Keyes.

My Thoughts

This story has real charm and wit. You are able to sympathise with Chloe and her difficulties, at the same time, seeing her gradually coming out of her shell, as she gets to know a few locals. Her alter ego as a best-selling author is a clever touch as she looks about for inspiration and slowly begins to find it around her. What you see with her is certainly not what you get as she proves to have a few layers to her character which needed to be explored and resources to her character which she does not realise she has.
 
The addition of the Singleton Club outings adds plenty of scope for humour and shows the strengths and weaknesses of the group of friends. Carol has created a warm and inviting world around Sunny Meadow Farm and I would love to be able to visit Sean's bookshop, it is so clearly evoked. I am rather hoping that she returns to some of Chloe's neighbours as I think that we are not finished with these group of characters yet. 

In short: Fresh starts and real laughs in this warm, charming read.
