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.

Summer Nights at the Starfish Cafe by Jessica Redland #Review

 

Jessica Redland's Summer Nights at the Starfish Cafe is the latest of her novels to be set in or around Whitsborough Bay. It was published by Boldwood Books on 6th April. 

 
Welcome back to The Starfish Café for a glorious summer, but with a few dark clouds on the horizon...

A new beginning...

As her summer wedding to Jake approaches, Hollie is excited for their new beginning as a family. But when some unexpected news threatens the future she and Jake had hoped for, Hollie will need to find the strength to overcome heartache once more.

A fragile heart….

Single mum, Kerry, loves her job at The Starfish Café, but behind the brave smiles and laughter with customers there is a sadness deep within. So when someone from her past re-appears in her life, Kerry can either hide away or face her demons and try to finally move on from her heartbreak.

A summer to remember…

For Hollie and Kerry it promises to be an emotional rollercoaster of a summer, but the community at The Starfish Café will always be there to help them through - after all, with courage nothing is impossible…

Join top 10 bestseller Jessica Redland for a wonderful summer at the seaside, full of love, friendship and community spirit.


 My Thoughts

This is the final visit to the Starfish Cafe series but I hope that there will e the odd visit there within some new books set around the area. Family and friendship is central to the story as ever and adds a real feeling of warmth and emotion to the story. There are some difficult themes behind the story and you really feel for Hollie and Jake as events unfold. Nevertheless, there is always the feeling of hope and that better times will come.

    Alongside Holly’s and Jake’s story, we are invited into Kerry’s life and see how she manages to juggle her demanding family with personal issues. She emerges as an independent and likeable character who has many vulnerable moments but who never loses sight of the importance of her children in her life. The Starfish Cafe with its feeling of community is always there in the background as a place to get strength and friendship. This has been a lovely series within the Whitsborough Bay family of novels and highlights courage and working for others through the inspiring Lifeboat Service.

In short : Family, friendship and community
