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.

One Moment in Time by Shari Low #Review

 

Today we are featuring another uplifting read by Shari Low. One Moment in Time which was published on May 2nd by Boldwood Books. 

 
Sometimes the best surprises reveal the most shocking secrets.

After three decades of marriage, Brenda Jones has decided to leave her husband, just as soon as they both return from a mystery trip with their daughter Zara. But she has no idea that Zara is flying them to Las Vegas to renew their vows.

Zara Jones has recreated almost every detail of her parent’s original wedding - now her only challenge is tracking down the two friends who were pictured with her mum and dad back in 1993.

Aiden Gregg is dealing with his own relationship woes when he receives an unexpected message from a complete stranger. WIth the help of Facebook, Zara has tracked him down and is asking if his parents are the other couple in the old photo? And if so, could he bring them to Vegas for a surprise reunion?

What Zara and Aiden don’t know is that thirty years ago, One Moment In Time changed everything.

Will rewinding the clock right the wrongs of the past?

Or are they all counting down to a rendezvous with disaster?


 My Thoughts

This turned out to be an entertaining read with misunderstandings and deeply buried secrets from the past littered throughout. The two sisters, Zara and Millie are quite different in personality but share a close bond and a deep affection for their parents. Millie provides most of the humour for me, as well as everyone's reactions to her wisecracks. Zara seems to have to fulfil the role of grown up between them but she is aware that her life could do with a kickstart  where her long term boyfriend is concerned.

     It is pretty obvious from the start that the sisters' plans to surprise their parents are going to lead to some awkward moments. There are plenty of humorous moments and some touching ones too. The dynamics between Aiden and Zara's mothers are quite surprising and both of them are at a stage of their lives where they are questioning decisions they have made in the past. There are some interesting friendships but most of all it is the family ties which are centre stage.

In short: The best laid plans...
