Angel of Kindness by Joanne Rawson is a romantic Christmas comedy, a short story for that long train journey or car ride. Megan Shepherd used to love Christmas. But then she used to love her husband as well until he ran off with a cleaner. Now she faces her first Christmas as a divorcee, spending it with her hippie mother, who is also bisexual, with a twig for a Christmas tree. Her friends decide to take her on a night out to a club they used to frequent as teenagers. Now under new management, the club has turned into a swanky nightclub and, when she sets eyes on the new owner, Richie King, she is transported back to her teen years when they used to date. She knows she should walk away, but somehow she can’t. Richie sweeps her off her feet and takes her to Christmas markets, on long snowy walks and for romantic meals in front of a log fire. Has he really changed? Is he hiding a deep dark secret that he doesn’t want her to know?
Angel of Kindness is another stunning short story from Joanne Rawson, the queen of short story romance. Quirky romance is the theme here and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It drew me in and gave me a real holiday feeling. Joanne Rawson really thinks about her stories before she writes them and it shows. Lovely entertaining story, great story line and an all-round hit again. I love Joanne Rawson’s books and will keep reading them as long she publishes them.

Learner Mum by Joanne Rawson is a hilarious look at motherhood from the point of view of someone who doesn’t want babies. Polly has a very successful job as a freelance writer and journalist. She has been living in sin with her boyfriend Steve for 8 years and her parents are disappointed that there is no sign of any wedding or babies in her life. The thing is, Polly doesn’t like babies and has never been tempted to even think about having one of her own. Things look set to change all that when she and Steve are asked to spend a weekend babysitting her little nephew. Hilarity ensues as she and Steve get to grips with motherhood. Will this confirm her thoughts that she never wants children or will it change her mind forever?
Learner Mum by Joanne Rawson is one of the funniest books I have read in a long while. It was too short – I could have easily read a full book on this. Even so, I really enjoyed it, laughed out loud in a lot of places and found it highly entertaining. An excellent story that should be read by any mother to be, or anyone who says they don’t want kids. To read about struggling with choices and Polly’s fears of tying the knot and having children was highly entertaining as well as sobering – it’s a real story cloaked in humor – and I was sad when it ended. Bring out more books please, I love reading these.
