Cynthia Smart’s Midwife Crisis

By Liz Davies

Cute title and a cute book!

A book by Liz Davies is always a treat!

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 her 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.

JENA’S REVIEW

A Liz Davies’ story means characters you care about, cozy countryside scenes and a cute car! Liz has done it again with this book and Readers, this is the perfect book to read in your garden.

Cynthia Smart described her mother as a “cup half-full person” because it didn’t take much to make her happy. Well Cynthia, I would describe you as a “glass totally empty person”, because only you know how to handle your life, and everyone and everything else in it. You just persevere and fill the cup yourself, don’t you??

Don’t tsk at me Cynthia, you know that for twenty years you have focused on nothing else but climbing the corporate ladder. And just when you think you are on the top rung, ready to take over as CEO, what happens??

A new hotshot, Max, is brought into the company and it looks like he has a lock on the top job. Plus, it wasn’t perimenopause, was it? And Cynthia, you were left to moan, “Why oh why is life so complicated?”

Cynthia’s heart is right, Max really is the total package, but will her mind realize it in time? I fell in love with Max, I adored Cynthia’s mother and I rooted for them all to reach their Happy Ever After. A cute romp of a book and I thank Rachel’s Random Resources for a review copy. This is my honest review.

Get to Know Author Liz Davies

Liz Davies writes feel-good, light-hearted stories with a hefty dose of romance, a smattering of humour, and a great deal of love.

She’s married to her best friend, has one grown-up daughter, and when she isn’t scribbling away in the notepad she carries with her everywhere (just in case inspiration strikes), you’ll find her searching for that perfect pair of shoes. She loves to cook but isn’t very good at it, and loves to eat – she’s much better at that! Liz also enjoys walking (preferably on the flat), cycling (also on the flat), and lots of sitting around in the garden on warm, sunny days.

She currently lives with her family in Wales, but would ideally love to buy a camper van and travel the world in it.
