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.

New Beginnings at Wildflower Lock by Hannah Lynn #Review #TheWildflowerLockSeriesBook1

 

Today I am delighted to feature the New Beginnings at Wildflower Lock by Hannah Lynn. The first in The Wildlower Lock series was published by Boldwood Books on July 14th.

 
New starts and hopeful hearts...

At 25, Daisy May’s life is not living up to expectations. Her childhood dreams of being an artist feel as unachievable as a committed relationship or managing to save enough money for a deposit on a house. But a surprise inheritance could change all that.

After Daisy learns she’s now the new owner of a forty-foot narrow boat, she sets out for Wildflower Lock, where the fresh country breeze and the calm water is enough to assure her everything will be okay.

With the help of the ruggedly attractive, yet grumpy riverman, Theo, she begins to work on her new home, the September Rose. Can she breathe new life into the old boat and learn to navigate not only the canals themselves, but also the people who live there? Or will the whole venture pull her under?


 My Thoughts

The first in a new series, this does a great job of setting the scene and introducing a range of characters. Daisy is the centre of the story and you feel throughout that she is looking for somewhere to belong. There are secrets from her past which lead her to reevaluate her childhood and her relationship with her mother. She has never really settled at work and flitted from job to bob with a feeling of disappointment in how her life is panning out.

    Family and friendships are at the heart of the story and of Daisy's life. She obviously has talents and has to learn to accept help from her friends. When she meets Theo, she realises she has a lot to learn about Wildflower Lock. He becomes a good friend and together, they set about sorting out her inheritance. I was taken by surprise at the end which felt rather abrupt but I can se how the story is going to develop. Daisy's decision came a little out of left field but there is plenty of potential for more in the series.

In short: starting over
