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.

The Village of Lost and Found by Alison Sherlock #Review #RiversideLaneNo2

 


Welcome to The Village of Lost and Found by Alison Sherlock. Published by Boldwood Books on 9th March, it is a really heartwarming tale!

Scandal hit party girl Lucy Conway needs to leave London fast, so she packs her bags and escapes to the sleepy village of Cranbridge to take care of her beloved Uncle Frank.

But the country village isn’t quite as idyllic as she remembers. To make matters worse, her Uncle’s pride and joy, The Cranbridge Times, is close to going out of business.

Editor-at-Large Tom Addison is having a crisis of confidence and needs help if the newspaper is going to survive.

With time on her hands, can Lucy work some magic and together save the family newspaper?

Over a long, hot summer, friendships are made and hearts begin to heal. And, with the help of a stray dog, perhaps Lucy and Tom can find their very own new beginning...


 My Thoughts

I was delighted to be back in Cranbridge to meet up with some familiar characters and a few new ones. It is a great little setting and the community shines through, as before. Neither Lucy nor Tom are quite the people some may take them for. Lucy is written off by some as a goodtime girl, just out for entertainment. Tom is using humour to cover up his doubts and insecurities. This is a heart=warming read which shows how they gain the confidence to be themselves. 

    There are some real gems of characters. I am sure that several of them could star in their own story. Lucy finds true friendship in the village and the pub is such a focus for different people to meet. I enjoy the humour to be found there and I am sure there are untapped depths for future books. The benefit to every one of using their local resources is evident and everyone pulling together for the greater good makes for a comforting read. Keith the dog is gorgeous and as you soon realise, you can gauge a person's character by how they treat him. This is a great read, full of warmth and humour.

 In short: village life to savour
