Midlife crisis? What midlife crisis?

At forty-four, Cynthia Smart is exactly where she wants to be. Almost.

In a couple of years, she’ll be the CEO of the company she’s spent most of her adult life working in. For now, though, she’s still busy shimmying up the greasy pole of corporate business. She’s single, carefree, and independent, and nothing can stop her getting what she wants and deserves.

Until she discovers she’s pregnant.

Determined to have her cake and eat it, she’s convinced that having a baby will make little difference to her life, and that she will be one of those women who can hold down an incredibly demanding job and also be a perfect mother.

But as her pregnancy progresses and her life slowly falls apart, she has the sneaking suspicion that Max Oakland, the new guy on the block, is out to steal her dream job. That she’s terribly attracted to him doesn’t help, nor does the fact that he’s devilishly handsome, appears to be a really nice fella, and is good in a crisis.

When she gradually comes to realise that something has got to give, what she doesn’t want it to be is her heart.

Perfect for fans of Mandy Baggott, Heidi Swain, and Holly Martin.

What an amusing book this was.  Cynthia Smart discovers she is pregnant, and that she will be a single mum in her mid 40s.   She is adamant that the baby will just slot into her life, she will take two weeks maternity leave and keep working trying to get that promotion. 

Well that's her thoughts at first until she discovers the realities of being pregnant aren't quite what she anticipated and throughout you can see her mind altering, and her perspective of life changing. 

There is also a new colleague at work who is is instantly distrustful of, and reckons he is out to steal her promotion. But then Max shows various sides of himself that has her second guessing herself.  He is a fabulous man and so so caring, I loved him a lot. 

And I was eye rolling throughout at Cynthia's thoughts on all thing baby, I mean I don't have one, but I've read enough to know the reality and her guy reactions are no where near each other!! It's just a great story, and incredibly entertaining. 

I managed to read this in an afternoon in one sitting in the garden, and loved ever second of it, it had my smiling and giggling, all the way to its rather eventful finale.  Yet another truly enjoyable book from Liz Davies, that I thoroughly enjoyed. 

Thank you to the author for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
