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.

About Last Night

 

Today's featured novel is About Last Night by A S Kelly. A  romcom, it certainly will keep you amused. 

 
Allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Tyler Hayes, and I’m a fireman.

Sorry to already disappoint you, but I’m not the person you think I am.

My charming uniform and seductive smile have caused nothing but trouble, and my not-so-honourable reputation, which I used to be so proud of, has kept me away from the one person I wanted to spend the rest of my life baking cookies for; my sweet, beautiful, slightly crazy Miss White.

I guess now I need to tell the whole story.

At forty years old, following years of self-sabotage, I’ve suddenly found myself admitting that I know absolutely nothing. Maybe my friend Niall was right when he told me to accept the process and just grow up. And now it's too late; I’ll never be able to keep her close to me. All that’s left to do is watch helplessly – but deservedly – as my world comes tumbling down around me.

My Thoughts

The two central characters of Tyler and Holly certainly dominate the action and I enjoyed how the story alternated between their two points of view. The genaral tone is humorous and I liked the banter between Tyler and his family and friends. Both Holly and Tyler are certainly very different characters. with Holly being pushed way out of her comfort zone on many occasions.

    At times I found it hard to figure out Tyler's character as he seemed to be straying towards being too overbearing and possessive towards Holly but on the whole, I had to take his family's view that he was a good guy who liked to help people out. Holly turned out to have a few surprises of her own and it became clear that she had a motive for moving to Ireland. On the whole it is a diverting read with lots of humour and a fair degree of passion.

In short: Don't take anything at face value
