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.

 My Thoughts


 Of course, this is the time of year to try to kickstart some good habits so I was really interested to read Pilates Express and to see how accessible it was to me, a complete beginner. I did not find it too daunting. In fact, it is a great mixture of information, advice, encouragement and at times, inspiration. You are taken through the different exercises in detail with easy to follow instructions. The part I found the most useful, is the illustrations which accompany the exercises. You can see what you should be aiming for!


I also like the amount of control which you have over the content of the workout. There are mini workouts for different times of the day, morning, noon and evening which reflects a realistic approach to what is possible for the average person. Different people will take different things from the book. Some will be looking to lose weight whilst others will want to improve their fitness. Both can relate to its message. With clear illustrations and straightforward text, it gives you a common-sense entry into the subject.

In short: Informative and accessible
