When Jenny and Dan meet, sparks fly and they can't get enough of each other. What they can get enough of? Sneaking around and hiding their relationship from their kids...

Divorced, single, and ready for another shot at love in their forties, what they didn't count on is how hard second chances can be.

When Jenny gets some unexpected news, suddenly navigating exes and step-children becomes even more important...

For fans of Jules Wake, Kristen Bailey and Helen Whitaker, Just the Six of Us is an uplifting and heart-warming blended family romcom.

A brilliant story about trying to create a new blended family. 

Jenny has two sons, Dan has two daughters and they are both single parents, after divorcing their partners.

They meet at a school event, and sparks fly and between some snatched moments, and making out like teenagers in the back seat of a car, well Jenny discovers she's pregnant. 

Only it was never meant to be anything more than just fun, and now we get to see how they attempt to deal with their current children, getting them used to the idea, and working out how to navigate their relationship with a baby on the way. 

There are so many fabulous moments in this book, as we watch the four children who all have rather different personalities try to well get used to the situation, while also scheming for their own purposes.  

I loved seeing how all of this develops and I also loved  Jenny's job as she runs a cake making business.. and there is rather a lot of cake!

A really enjoyable story, featuring a very modern family set up.  I loved it a lot. 

Thank you to Orion Dash and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
