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.

From Here to Nashville by Julie Stock #Giveaway #BirthdayBlitz

I am delighted to feature Julie Stock's From Here to Nashville for its 5th Book birthday celebrations, There is also a great giveaway for you to enter. Details are at the foot of this post. You can also read my review of Julie's The Bistro at Watersmeet Bridge here.


Two worlds, 4,000 miles apart. Is their love strong enough to keep them together?


Rachel Hardy dreams of being a successful country music singer in Nashville's Music City, four thousand miles away from her lonely life in Dorset. When Jackson Phillips, an independent record label owner, encourages her band to audition for a nationwide 'Open Mic' competition, she decides they have nothing to lose.

But when she starts to fall in love with Jackson, the stakes suddenly get higher and she finds herself with a great big dilemma on her hands. Should she abandon her dream and take the easy way out or should she leave the life she has always known behind and take a gamble on a man who has personal demons of his own?

Follow Rachel and Jackson as they learn to trust in love again to see whether their music really can unite them.

                                                                                     My Thoughts
This is the first in what turned out to be a series of stories around the characters who you meet in From Here to Nashville. I thoroughly enjoyed the read as the action alternated between Poole in Dorset and Nashville. You are also given the story through two perspectives: Rachel and Jackson's which adds to the interest. There is such a contrast between Jackson and Rachel's way of life.

    There are plenty of ups and downs in the character's fortunes as misunderstandings and half-truths cloud the picture. Rachel is so wary of commitment and seems to avoid talking things through. You have to have a certain amount of sympathy for Sam and like all the secondary characters, he is well drawn. This was Julie's debut novel and is full of feelgood moments and a real celebration of friendship and family.

In short: Transatlantic romance flourishes.
