The Twenty Dates by Ko Porteous #Review #EmptyNesters

It is good to return to The Empty Nesters series by Ko Porteous. The Twenty Dates was published by All Ways Publishing Ltd on October 8th. You can read my review of Book 1, The Freshman Parents   here The kids have left, assuming love endures. But can yours? Book #2 in The Empty Nesters Series   Claire’s marriage is in (total!) crisis. Her husband, Mark, is distracted, presumptuous, and utterly clueless - smart scales for their 19th wedding anniversary? Really? Perhaps she'd be better off alone. At least there'd be less laundry.   When Claire suggests separating, Mark panics. He asks for one last chance: twenty dates, one for each year of their marriage, to prove they're better off together than apart. What follows is a series of adventures Claire never saw coming - some mortifying, some exhilarating, and some that make her question everything she thought she knew. About Mark. About marriage.

Today I am delighted to feature the fifth in the gentle romance series, The Holly Berry Sweet Shop Series: Sunny Days at the Sweet Shop of Second Chances by Hannah Lynn. It is published today, Septemver 1st, by Boldwood Books.

 
A getaway to remember...

It’s Holly’s best friend’s hen do and the plan is a week away in the South of France.

With little Hope still so very young, it’s going to be difficult for Holly to tear herself away, but Ben is the perfect co-parent and her own parents are just down the road, so – Holly decides – there’s really nothing holding her back, is there?

Will the sunshine and sea air help her get back to who she really is? Or will this be the perfect distraction, a chance to have a holiday fling?

Bask in the sunny skies of France with everyone's favourite sweet shop owner - because everyone deserves a break, don't they?


 My Thoughts

In this romcom, Holly is taken out of the village and away from her family to spend a few days with her friends on a joint hen and stag do. Staying at a beautiful villa, she finds the life of luxury she has been dreaming of, but of course, misses her baby terribly. There are plenty of laugh out loud moments in this gentle romance, with a fine bunch of varied character and a couple of would-be suitors for her to choose from.

    Of course, romance is the last thing on her mind, Holly tells herself.  She is a likable and relatable character who can hardly near to relinquish control of her baby to Ben and her mother. However, with encouragement from her friends, she does her best! Holly has some choices to make in this story and surprises herself at some of her accomplishments. I did find the account of the flight out hilarious as no matter how hard she tried to appear cool and sophisticated, fate had other ideas. This is a light-hearted read which has you rooting for Holly all the way.

In short: love and laughter in this escapist romance
