What Women Want – Fanny Blake

I was sent this novel to review (how exciting!).

Here’s the blurb …

Friends forever.

Then he came along …

Bea’s contending with a new boss, power-hungry colleagues and a stroppy teen-aged son, not to mention the anxieties of returning to the dating game.

Stressed-out Kate is coping with an empty nest and the growing realisation that her marriage has lost its shine.

Finally, Ellen, who has devoted herself to her children and her art gallery following her husband’s death, is falling head over heels in love with Oliver.

They have always known they can depend on each other, no matter what. But with Oliver in their midst, will their friendship survive?

This book is exactly what it claims to be – an easy to read romantic comedy/drama. It is well written. It never had any of those clunky or forced moments. The heroines were a bit older than what you typically find in a romance novel, however, these women weren’t looking for romance. They were looking for a better way to live their lives.

I enjoyed this novel and look forward to more of her work.

Here are some other reviews …
