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.

Your Place or Mine? by Portia Macintosh #Review

 

I am so pleased to be on the tour for Portia Macintosh's latest romcom, Your Place or Mine? It was published by Boldwood Books on 17th January.

Two reluctant housemates. One question: Is this your place or mine...?

When Serena is kicked out of her flat, an offer from her friend, Taylor, to house sit for her while she and her husband go travelling could not be better timing. But unfortunately for Serena she’s not the only one to have received this offer…

Enter Ziggy: arrogant, messy (and annoyingly handsome) musician, and friend of Taylor’s husband. Living with him is far from ideal, especially when he claims the best room, has loud parties - and the least said about his kitchen manner the better...

There's just one solution for Serena – drive him out of the house by being twice as difficult to live with than he is! But Ziggy knows Serena's game and as war ensues between them, being forced together under one roof may result in some unexpected consequences…


 My Thoughts

This turned out to be a really fun and entertaining read. The humour comes from the situations and the characters who react to events. Serena and Ziggy have a certain chemistry from their first meeting and I particularly enjoyed their attempts to outdo each other. When you first meet Serena, her life is at a crossroads as she seems to be in a precarious position. She strikes you as someone who is desperately looking for genuine friendship and a sense of belonging but who is quite lonely. She is a determined and ultimately optimistic person however and can keep a cool head in the most chaotic of circumstances.

    Ziggy is a bit harder to figure out but you gradually get to see his kindness and softer side. The storyline has quite a few surprises and the men who appear in Serena’s life add so much humour to the story.  If you are looking for a light and entertaining read, you will thoroughly enjoy finding out how Serena turns her life round. 

In short: laugh out loud moments and great characters
