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.

Long Time No Sea by Portia Macintosh #Review

 

It is a real pleasure to be on the tour for Portia Macintosh's latest romcom, Long Time No Sea. It was published by Boldwood Books on 6th July.

 

There’s trouble in paradise...

Moving home in her 30s was not the life plan Jas had in mind. So when her best friend gets in touch to say she's arranging a long overdue reunion with their high school friends, Jas is very much up for the escape. Oh, and it's all expenses paid to Italy - so that's a bonus!

But while being whisked away to the beautiful Italian coast may seem idyllic, Jas has to come face to face with not only her ex-boyfriend, but the one that got away too!

It's a week of sun, sea and unravelling secrets, and as the love triangle from the past starts to develop once again, this trip is not panning out exactly as Jas imagines...

Should the past be left where it is, or could there be a second chance at love on the horizon..?

Join top 10 bestseller Portia MacIntosh for a sun-drenched, laugh-out-loud love triangle romantic comedy!


 My Thoughts

When a group of friends from school are reunited, they fall back into their relationships easily. There are a few issues from the old days to work through but by and large, all the dynamics between them all have survived and there is plenty of unfinished business to work through.  This is a light hearted and entertaining read throughout with plenty of laugh out loud moments. 

    Friendship is very much at the centre of the story. The group’s relationship with Clarky is the most interesting as they all can see how irritating his behaviour is and yet they accept him, warts and all, just as they did when he joined the school years ago. In a way, friendship emerges as a non judgmental thing although Clarky’s actions push its limits to the edge. Jas finds herself back in a love triangle just as she was in her teens and has to decide how to make her feelings clear. Humour runs through every page and makes for an enjoyable read from the very start.

In short: friends and lovers reunited
