Chocolate Cake for Breakfast

I bought this book because it had a lot of my cat nip: professional woman, rugby, animals, unusual setting-rual New Zealand, funny, and unexpected pregnancy.

I paid a bit for this book but it was totally worth it. I have order her first book already and can't wait to pass this one on to my best friend.

I love this love key romance and the heroine who is utterly compentant and also a bit of a mess. I adore all the details of her work life from co workers, to clients, the gory work of a Vet. I loved how matter of fact, attuned, and human Helen was in the world of work. She is a whole person with a great job, family, best friend, past lover and cat before she meets the hero.

Mark is such a guy. lol He is pretty taciturn and Helen talks a lot. Mark is a great guy though. Helen has a bit of growing to do in the communcation department and that makes for a belivable conflict in the book.

I love that Helen is a dirty mess half the time. I think it is great the Mark as really reflected on his old self.

The writer doesn't put a glow on the physical or emotionial side of pregnancy especially and unplanned one and while Helen adimits to not being the best at times this part of the book is equal parts great and tiresome.

I would have loved to be in Mark's head as he doesn't speak all that much. This would have made for more emotionial balenance in the book and made it a 5 star read. I would also have liked the bedroom scenes not to be fade to black. Not because I must have sex in my Romance but because for this book where the couple had a long distance relationship, it would have given me more couple time and more insight into the hero. U I felt a little llike a cat with the door shut in my face.

It was very good. I wish it were in ebook and cheaper but you can't have everything.

Totally love Danielle's writing style and the references to rural New Zealand. No surprise given I grew up in rural New Zealand. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a lovely gentle read.

Great read! I love New Zealand and this book brings you right into it and never looses your attention.

This one was enjoyable. I like an independent woman, and Mark was so sweet - most of the time.
