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 Island in Bramble Bay by Victoria Walker #Review #PublicationDay

 

Do you fancy some summer sunshine? Victoria Walker's latest novel, The Island in Bramble Bay is published today, April 23rd by Ever After Books. 


Welcome to Bramble Island! Find breezy, sunshine-filled days, shaded woodlands, glittering sea and a summer of love…

Maggie Cassidy is the new park manager of Bramble Island in Dorset. A job on an island where she is the only year-round inhabitant is the perfect fresh start for her. But when she’s torn between the job she came to do and the island she has grown to love, can she hang on to her perfect new life without compromising her dreams?

Charlie Mackenzie is the forester on Bramble Island. He is a loner full of secrets, burnt out by the life he left behind in San Francisco. When his past catches up with him can he finally face what he has spent three years running from without jeopardising everything that healed him?

Bramble Island lulls them both into an idyllic existence but when the outside world bangs on their door, is history about to repeat itself for both of them?

 My Thoughts

The setting on Bramble Bay is gorgeous and completely in synch with the story. Bramble Bay is almost like a character within the story. It is the magnet which brings Maggie there and where Charlie has found a measure of healing. The trees and Nature are a healing influence. This is an entertaining story with some likeable characters and a variety of secondary characters who could you could imagine being at the centre of their own stories.

    Maggie emerges as an unselfish and generous character. There is a strong thread of romance throughout the story which gives it an escapist feel. You soon realise that there is more to Charlie than his work as a forester. Ultimately, you see that the sides of his character have to make peace with each other as he has to decide what is really important to him. 

In short: lovely characters and a big dollop of romance

About the Author


Victoria Walker has been writing romantic fiction since a visit to Iceland in 2014 inspired her first novel. As well as writing, she spends her free time dressmaking, knitting and reading an inordinate amount of contemporary romance, occasionally punctuated by the odd psychological thriller and saga.

In the past she has worked as a cinema projectionist, a knitting and sewing tutor and has owned a yarn store, all things which will no doubt appear in her books if they haven't already.

Victoria lives in the Malvern Hills with her husband and two teenage children.
