Cynthia Smart's Midwife Crisis (Contemporary Romance Collection Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Liz Davies (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 422 ratings

A heartwarming, feelgood romance.

A baby and a career? Can you really have it all...?

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.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

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 lives on a Welsh mountain with her very patient husband and incredibly sweet dog, where she grows veggies (if the slugs don't get them), bakes (badly) and loves making things out of glitter and glue (a mess, usually). She's been an avid reader ever since she got her hands on a copy of Noddy Goes to Toytown when she was five, and she once tried to read everything in her local library starting with A and working her way through the alphabet. She loves long, hot summer days in the garden, and cold winter ones snuggled in front of the fire, but whatever the weather she's usually writing or thinking about writing, with heartwarming romance and happy-ever-after always on her mind.

She also writes romantic fiction as Lilac Mills

    5.0 out of 5 stars This is amazing
    Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2020
    I have been a fan of Liz Davies writing. All her books have that special something that is quite unique. I always get that warm fuzzy feeling, a heartfelt story with incredibly delightful characters I love reading about, and a story that makes me laugh and as always, full of heart.

    In this new book, Cynthia Smart's Midwife Crisis, we see a woman whose trajectory and path into the corporate world is a straight shot. Until, life comes along literally! A life is growing inside of her that is, which could put a damper in her career. Cynthia is not one to succumb to life's challenges. She is going to succeed no matter what. She is going to have it all.

    This is a really fun story that is a quick read and super enjoyable I read it in one sitting. I highly recommend this for a fantastic summer read. Add this to your TBR!

    4.0 out of 5 stars This book is just adorable and made me smile.
    Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2020
    This book is just adorable and made me smile. It’s the perfect rom-com without any unnecessary drama.

    The highlight of the story is the characters. Cynthia is fun as the main character who gets pregnant unexpectedly. At times, she got on my nerves, because I didn’t like the way she kept running away from Max. Even though I could understand her situation, it was a bit frustrating seeing her unable to trust anyone. However, she is also hilarious and cranky, and it was fun to see how she coped with the pregnancy. I loved Max! He is just the perfect male character. At times, I felt he was too perfect for words as he didn’t have any flaws. But I loved his relation with Cynthia, and their time together.

    Even the supporting characters are so lovely. I loved Cynthia’s mother Maggie. They both have a beautiful mother-daughter relationship where they talk to each other like friends. Maggie is also very quirky and speaks her mind openly, which was funny at times. Sally is another adorable character who I wished was more involved in the story.

    The author writes the tale in such a simple and engaging manner. Even though the story is nothing new, it feels fresh and puts a smile on your face. Also, even though Cynthia and Max are in their 40s, the author has written their characters with a touch of innocence and immaturity. Hence a person of any age group can relate to them. The pregnancy also ends in a very interesting manner that makes this book memorable.

    Overall, “Cynthia Smart’s Midwife Crisis” is a breezy romantic comedy and I enjoyed it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars SO FUN!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2020
    This was FUN! Liz Davies always writes such relatable stories packed with loads of humor and heart. Cynthia has the career of her dreams. At only 44 she is targeted to be CEO in the next few years that is until... *bum bum bum* A pink line on the pregnancy test. Determined not to let a minor thin like a baby change anything, Cynthia is convinced that she can have it ALL. Loved how real and relatable this was. I think we all idealize having a baby until that little bundle of joy finally arrives. It was so humorous watching Cynthia deal with her changing body as her pregnancy progressed. I really loved her as a character, I would have love to go to lunch with her and discuss her goings-on. I also loved Macs. He really was the nicest guy ever and still Cynthia was so suspicious of him trying to take her job. The relationship between these two was so great. Once again Liz Davies put a big smile on my face and hope in my heart. The perfect little afternoon Escape.

    The book revolves around Cynthia. A career woman who slipped up one night with surfer boy on holiday and found herself pregnant. Her route to childbirth is hilarious, sad and complicated. I couldn't put it down.

    You’ll know by now of my absolute excitement for everything Liz Davies, but when I saw this I was particularly excited- you know mom lit, an office environment and a baby, with a lead who’s more my age than a twenty something, what’s not to love!! And so I bunkered down and dived in!

    I’ll begin by saying wow to this book. Wow. Wow. Wow!!

    This is the story of 44 year old Cynthia Smart, who from the start of the book is a little bit in denial that she’s going to be a mum. We quickly see why, she’s top of her game in a job where she gets in a six thirty in the morning and is considered to be leaving early if she walks out at 5!

    Everything in this book was done perfectly, the tiredness, the morning sickness, which all lead to comedy and drama, the characters, with Sally and her mum just being soooooo lovely!! And then there was Max …

    They say about ingesting a book, not only did I ingest it, I savored it and hearted it too, and will be recommending it all over the place!!

    Beyond recommended and sealing Ms Davies as one of my top authors (Come on, we all knew she was already). Thanks so much to Rachel at Rachel’s Random Resources for the book in return for an honest review and for allowing me to be part of the blog tour.

    Rating: A million out of five!! (5/5;))
