Jennifer Gilby Roberts is unleashing the second book in the fabulous Parker Sisters series!
She will be doing the rounds with this soul-searching romance, which will bring you reviews, guest posts and a gorgeous giveaway!
Early last year, I read ‘The Dr Pepper Chronicles’, which is the the first in the series, however this book follows a different Parker sister (DPC you read about Mel and this book follows Brittany), so you don’t need to have read this book before you read this one, however I thoroughly recommend you do as I really enjoyed it.
I absolutely adored Brittany. She had a big heart and you can see she adores James, and puts all her effort into making her marriage with Philip work, despite his distant persona. She is such a strong woman, never giving up and made some tough decisions throughout the book, which is very admirable.
This book is funny and heart felt, with a positive message through running through the whole book. I really felt for Brittany and the dilemma she goes through. A page on however and you are laughing, especially when she is talking with her colleague Abby, who is really ditzy, but all the more loveable for it.
I also really liked Carly, not your typical nanny. I loved reading scenes between her and Brittany, seeing their friendship grow. Lauren, the other nanny in contrast seems a right terror. She is incredibly forthright which often comes across as rude, however, underneath it she seemed to have a heart of gold, and her clashes with Brittany were amusing to read at times.
Overall this book was a really good read. The food in the café sounded delicious and as delightful as all the characters working there. Easy to read in one afternoon, preferably with a cake of your own.

Author Bio:
Jennifer Gilby Roberts has a degree in physics and a postgraduate certificate in computing, so a career as a chick lit author was inevitable really. She was born and grew up in Surrey/Greater London, but now lives in Richmond, North Yorkshire with her husband, small daughter, two middle-aged cats and a lot of dust bunnies. She can be found getting red-faced at zumba class, reading historical porn (as her husband calls it – Regency romance to the rest of us) and humming nursery rhymes while going round Tesco.
