Synopsis

Ruby Campbell isn't daunted at the prospect of working as a Nanny for the notorious Barclay Rothchester. She’s warned he’s a strict control freak, but she’s sure she can soften him up. 

Barclay Rothchester lost his wife three years ago. Of course he’s never going to find someone to replace her role, the one she did so perfectly. He’s sure its not going to be hippy dippy Ruby with her sass and rebellious ways. 

Ruby is determined to give his daughters the Christmas they deserve. Now if only she can tolerate their father long enough to make that happen. 


Are they both willing to put their stubborn pride aside, or will they risk losing the one gift that can't be wrapped: each other.

Readers can't get enough of Once Upon a Wish-mas...

My Review

A Christmas themed rom-com and I absolutely loved it. It's a bit of Mary Poppins with some Christmas fun and romance, the difference being I loved this nanny so much more than that Mary Poppins sequel!

Barclay a widower takes on a new nanny for his two cute girls and gets Ruby. Ruby omg she's a force of nature, she really made me chuckle. I did think she pushed the boundaries quite a bit for a new employee but it was needed at times and so entertaining.

The story is mainly from Ruby's pov, but Barclay gets some smaller chapters so we get his pov and it's obvious quite soon his not as cold as he first shows, just guarded. Did I mention he's a good looking man that keeps himself fit, something Ruby can't help but notice.

I listened to the audiobook and loved the narration. There were so many moments I wanted to highlight like an ebook!

The narrator defined the characters well and gave them personality and the children's voices came over cute.

A real humorous and easy listen. Trouble is you don't want to pause it when you have to go out! I could totally see this as a rom-com on the big screen.

My review of the ebook 

This book is a blast, but if you're looking for a sensible run of the mill romance this isn't it!

This book has two slightly crazy characters, Katy and Felix. They work in the same school but don't really know one another. They start the beginning of a 'friendship' when they're put in a situation neither expected. The fun and games, and accidents they have on their road trip made me giggle. I could have highlighted a funny line on almost every page but wanted to keep reading.

It's all based in good old blighty - or I could say the UK. Some of the situations are a little silly, but who cares its funny. I have to admit I found the festival very amusing and the aftermath enjoyable.

Pick this up if you like a romcom.

★*✩*★ RELEASE BLITZ ★*✩*★ Pelvic Flaws #Review #FiveStars

Pelvic Flaws
Looking for a Funny and heartwarming story? Dive in and meet Katie, a real woman and Dex a dream silver fox 
Available on Amazon: 


BLURB:
Pelvic Flaws
I’m Katie Grainger, I’m 45 years old, a divorced mother of three, slightly annoying at times, but always loveable, kids and I can wet myself at the drop of hat. Actually, it’s more like a sneeze or a cough than a drop of a hat, but whatever the reason, let’s just say I am forever grateful for the invention of the ultra-thin panty pad.
I don’t have a bad life, there’s book club where I discuss the menopause with my friends, there’s Clubbercise where I wet myself and dance like my mother with my friend Mandy and there’s my work which is pretty boring, where I get to learn a lot about reality TV from my much younger co-workers. All of which makes me content – yes, I’d like more sex, but who wouldn’t when their castle hadn’t been breached for four years. 
Do I have regrets in my life?
Yes, I do. I regret that my ex-husband, Carl, and I didn’t realise we’d grown apart sooner. I regret not trying more online dating when I first got divorced and I regret that my youngest, Charlie, feels torn between pleasing me and his dad. What I don’t regret is my bag breaking and spilling everything over the pizza place floor, the night Dex Michaels was in there ordering a 9inch meat feast.
What can I say about Dex?
Dex is the sort of man that dreamy sighs are made of. He’s tattooed, has impeccable pecs and amazing abs and has the most gorgeous blue eyes I’ve ever seen. He’s a true Southern Gentleman, with an accent that makes me want to wear a pair of Daisy Duke’s and ride across the range on stallion call Champion. Dex Michaels is 46 years old, owns his own Tattoo Studio, has no baggage and seems to think I’m cute. A match made in heaven – right?
Pelvic Flaws is the story of one woman’s struggle with hot sweats, mood swings and perilously poor pelvic floor muscles. It’s the story of Dex, who thinks all those things about Katie are funny and adorable. It’s the story of a romance that could turn into something big. It’s the story of what might be the love affair of the century, potentially being ruined by the baggage that neither of them knew existed.

ARC REVIEW


Loved it

I was hooked from the beginning, the start was amusing, book club sounded just like me and my girly friends talking 😃

Katie is a divorcee with 3 kids, she's your run of the mill woman, doesn't see her own strengths, has typical age 45+ issues, along with a very honest voice.

Okay I'm considering doctoring some of my bags if it brings a Dex into my life...... bugger I'm married so that won't be a good idea lol

Dex is the perfect silver fox and is swoon-worthy. He calls everyone darlin as he is American and damn it sounds good coming from him, but he calls Katie Kat <3 His a tattooist with good morals and is so kind and considerate and most definitely SEXY!

The story and humour made me giggle and quite a few bits made me belly laugh - especially the 'escape' when Katie and Dex are at the gym together!

I loved how real Katie was and other than the fact I'm married, I almost thought Katie was based around me. Yes Dex is a dreamboat and most probably more fantasy, but who cares I loved him.

So, if you're looking for a Funny and heartwarming story, dive in and meet Katie, a real woman and Dex a dream silver fox <3
