The Twenty Dates by Ko Porteous #Review #EmptyNesters

It is good to return to The Empty Nesters series by Ko Porteous. The Twenty Dates was published by All Ways Publishing Ltd on October 8th. You can read my review of Book 1, The Freshman Parents   here The kids have left, assuming love endures. But can yours? Book #2 in The Empty Nesters Series   Claire’s marriage is in (total!) crisis. Her husband, Mark, is distracted, presumptuous, and utterly clueless - smart scales for their 19th wedding anniversary? Really? Perhaps she'd be better off alone. At least there'd be less laundry.   When Claire suggests separating, Mark panics. He asks for one last chance: twenty dates, one for each year of their marriage, to prove they're better off together than apart. What follows is a series of adventures Claire never saw coming - some mortifying, some exhilarating, and some that make her question everything she thought she knew. About Mark. About marriage. And about the woman she's quietly become while she wasn't payin...

Willows Wedding Vows by Debbie Viggiano #Review

We have another romcom today in Willow's Wedding Vows by Debbie Viggiano which was published on 28th April. 
 
Wedding vows have never been this personal…

Willow has been living with marriage-shy Charlie for more years than she cares to remember and is old-fashioned enough to want a wedding band and a loads-of-sex honeymoon before stretchmarks and nipple shields.

So when the once-wary Charlie surprisingly goes down on one knee, Willow doesn’t question why her boyfriend is suddenly so keen to rush her into saying “I do”.

The first clue comes as Willow is zipped into her Cinderella dress, the second as she bobs into the wedding car, and the third as the Roller swings towards its fairy-tale destination… leaving a shell-shocked Willow desperately trying to figure out what to do next.

A bride can do anything she wants on her wedding day, but nobody expected her to do this…
 
My Thoughts
 
 This is definitely not a book to be taken seriously! In this romcom, you will find Willow who is desperate to marry her long-term boyfriend, Charlie, who we know from the strat is certainly not marriage material! He has absolutely no intention of entering into ant form of commitment,  I did find it quite difficult to keep my patience with Willow who steadfastly pushes to the back of her mind any doubts she may have about him.
 
    You also see the story from more than one perspective. There are quite a few amusing characters in the mix and there is a mystery around the identity of one, Kev, which was a surprise to me when the truth was revealed. This is an entertaining read with some larger than life situations and a very small soupcon of romance.
 
In short:  Charlie and Willow... Love's young's dream? Hardly!
