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.

This Year Maybe by Liz Hinds #Review #Aliss'sAdventuresBook2

I am delighted to feature Liz Hind's romcom, This Year Maybe on the blog today. Last July, I enjoyed The Dog-Walking Club so much - you can read my review here. 

 
Alison and David have been engaged for so long that even Alison’s mother has given up asking when, but it’s second time around for both of them and they’re not in any particular hurry.

That said, Alison is beginning to wonder if living with her has put David off the idea of marriage so when he suggests they set a date she is delighted. But that date is six months’ away and a lot can happen in six months – especially if you’re Alison!

 

‘My son’s been arrested, Great-aunt Millie’s fallen in love, my best friend suspects her husband of having an affair, and I still need to lose weight. How on earth can I think about getting married?’


My Thoughts

 This is a thoroughly enjoyable read with some genuinely funny parts and a range of lively characters. Alison's characters is both likeable and relatable and her family do raise a smile. There are plenty of subplots concerning her friends and family and at one point, I was left wondering just what could happen next! Alison's life is certainly chaotic and unexpected. There are some real human touches and the relationship between Alison and her mother does take a surprising turn which shows you that sometimes, behaviour is rooted right back in the past.

    I particularly enjoyed the cameo characters who came into Alison's life. The vicar's pre-marriage course made me laugh and as for Great Aunt Millie - she is an absolute hoot! David's calm persona is a real contrast to Alison's complicated life and he seems to be just what she needs. This is the second in a series but it can be read as a standalone- I did. 

In short: The road to the altar is a bumpy one, indeed!
