Today we have the second in Karen Booth's series, Never Too Late, entitled Brooklyn Monroe Wants It All.
She can’t hit the snooze on her biological clock forever…
Love, career, kids—Brooklyn Monroe wants it all. Her beauty
company? A triumph. Her love life? Total fail. At 42, that makes motherhood her
top priority. With no man in her life, she’s prepared to fly solo, but her plan
is derailed when a mailing list mishap turns Brooklyn into a
someone-get-me-pregnant internet meme. Making her PR nightmare go away entails
a soul-baring interview on national TV. And the guy asking the questions? Her
all-too sexy ex.
Talk show host Alec Trakas is the king of bad timing. Case
in point, his heartbreaking romance with Brooklyn. Alec was all about
commitment but Brooklyn was launching her start-up, and forever wasn’t in the
cards. Now a shot at his ultimate dream job depends on convincing Brooklyn to
spill the secrets leading to her viral celebrity. It sets Alec’s star rising,
but puts Brooklyn in a sea of flirty men. Fate has thrown them back together.
Sparks are flying. But is the timing finally right? Because having it all might
not be worth the risk of losing each other again.
My Thoughts
This is a fun read which features a likeable and lively central character, Brooklyn who has reached that age when her biological clock has rung and she realises that time is running out if she wants to be a mother. Of course, although she has been used to getting her own way in her successful business, this turns out to be a bit more problematical.
Much of this story is about bad timing and how certain opportunities come up at the most inconvenient time. Both Alec and Brook have to decide where their priorities lie and to re-evaluate their friendship. I enjoyed the secondary characters, such as Brook's family and Alec's colleagues at the TV company where what you see is not necessarily what you get. Brook's business is rooted in the beauty business and it is often difficult to know who can be trusted. Although written as part of a series, this can be easily read as a standalone. It has humour and romance, a really entertaining read.
In short: Is it too late for a second chance?
