Today I am featuring another romcom by BR Maycock, Anything You Can Do, which is number two in her Riverside Series.
What would you do if the stars aligned to put everything
right in your home?
If Roles Were Reversed ...
Caroline and Noel Morton are two people who need a change.
One wants to escape the rat race while the other hopes to join it!
When Noel is asked to begin working from home he's quick to
say yes. More time with his three children? How could he not? Meanwhile
Caroline is considering starting a new job. How amazing would it be to hit
goals and targets and have people actually thank you for a change? And when she
receives an offer from the failing Eden Street box company, an organisation in
chaos, she's ready to change the world!
But is an organisation brimming with employees who are
tired, disillusioned and waiting to be let go what she really needs? And can
Noel work from a chaotic home with three children, an obsessed work colleague
and a disillusioned mother ready to thwart his plans at every turn?
Join Caroline and Noel as we return to Riverside to see if
everyday changes can guide a relationship back to solid ground or if they'll
further tear it apart!
For fans of Fiona Gibson, Christie Barlow and Tracy Bloom
this is a laugh out loud comedy you won't want to miss!
My Thoughts
This is full of the day to day dynamics of the family. From losing sight of romance in a relationship, to dealing with the needs of children, the story goes at a pace and takes you along with it. You see the story through the eyes of both Caroline and Noel as they adjust to the changes in their lives. Caroline is caught between wanting to be there for all her children and returning to work. Noel finds himself working from home. It doesn't work out quite how he imagines. Real family life gets in the way.
You also get to see how Caroline and Noels' friends, extended family and co-workers impact on them. I was particularly amused by their mothers who appear during the day, looking for their own respite. Noel realises that his friendship with his co-worker, Sian, may have been misinterpreted by other people and that some of his assumptions have been spectacularly wrong. There is plenty to make you smile in this story of role reversal, with lively characters and fun episodes.
In short: friends, family and fun
About the Author
Hi Readers, I’m Berni and I’m a rom-commer!
My start: Enid Blyton, Roald Dahl and the entire contents of
our local library, then Sweet Valley High, Point Horror, Babysitters Club and
The Saddle Club before drifting into adulthood where I found Jenny Colgan,
Marian Keyes, Patricia Cornwall, Stephen King and John Grisham.
I am now an absolute chick lit, rom com, and thriller addict
and former book blogger (you might know me from B R Maycock’s book blog).
My goal is always to give someone something they can settle
down with for a bit of escapism and a laugh with small town series, ‘mom lit’
books and sparkly standalones.
Then there’s the official line...
B R Maycock (Berni to all you lovely people!) writes
romantic comedies that are warm, sparkly and fun. She can be found in Co.
Westmeath, Ireland with her brilliantly out there husband, Keith, their four
epic little men, and four cats She has one goal and that’s simply to make readers
smile and/ or laugh (a splutter rates highest;)).
