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 at the Santorini Bookshop by Rebecca Raisin #Review #PublicationDay

 

 Happy Publication Day to Rebecca Raisin! Summer at the Santorini Bookshop is published today by HQ Digital in April 11th.

A Greek island holiday. A fake-dating pact. A chance at true love?

After losing her job as a book scout, hopeless romantic Evie needs a fresh start. So when she hears that her eccentric grandmother has just taken on a small bookshop in Santorini, Evie jumps at the chance to visit her.

But life on the island is not as idyllic as it first seems. Gran has a tempestuous relationship with her landlord and he’s threatening to take the bookshop away from her. So when Gran asks Evie to fake a romance with her landlord’s Greek God of a grandson, Georgios, to keep the family on side, she reluctantly agrees.

As the sun sets on Evie’s Greek holiday, can she save the bookshop – and fake date her way to love?


 My Thoughts

This is an ideal romcom for a summer holiday read. Mostly set in Santorini, you breathe in the glorious Greek sunshine. It is a light-hearted, fun read with more than one fake friendship going on. Evie's affection for her unconventional grandmother is deep rooted and she feels caught between her mother and sister on the one hand, and her grandmother on the other. Add her family seem to have a headstrong streak and think that they know best. You do hope that Evie can assert her own independence and follow her own path.

    There are some larger than life characters in the story. This even extends to the lovable rescue dogs who her grandmother decides to take in. Only Evie and Georgios seem to have a filter and you discover, share some similar character traits. Georgio might look like a stereotypical Greek Adonis, but you soon pick up that there is a quieter, deeper side to his character. For an escapist read, you won't go far wrong with this one!


In short: hot summer days and plenty of humour
