Publisher Description
'To me, a mother of two and a woman of a certain age, it's so relatable and laugh-out-loud funny! I would definitely want to be friends with Lisa!... Absolutely loved it! Big fat five stars from me' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lisa Darling - high-flying TV-exec and twice-divorced mother-of-two - has enough on her plate without having to deal with the handsome New Yorker parachuted in to her best friend's job at work.
She's already navigating life with a grotty teenage son, organising a PTA cheese & wine event, supporting her oldest friend through breast cancer treatment and, since she hit 47, facing a new perimenopause symptom every day. It's no wonder she never has time for Pilates or that DIY panelling she keeps seeing on Instagram (though she'd be the first to admit she'd rather share a bottle of wine with her friends any day).
So when Lisa starts feeling overheated every time she clashes with Zach Russo, she convinces herself it will pass. Maybe her HRT just needs adjusting. Until, that is, she finds herself in a sexy - and seriously ill-advised - clinch with him. And then another...
All of which leads to one question: these long-forgotten feelings couldn't be caused by something else entirely... could they?
Fun, frank and fabulous, Lisa Darling is the romantic comedy heroine you've all been waiting for! Perfect for fans of Alexandra Potter's Confessions of a Forty-Something, Why Mummy Drinks and Harper Ford.

Customer Reviews
Relatable, hilarious and even a bit of depth.
If you’re an overworked Mum, trying to juggle kids and life, you’ll love this. If you’re also managing shifting hormones and would love a hot hunky man to lavish his attention on you, even better.
This is not an empty, middle aged rom com though. It has enough “real life” in to make it relatable, but plenty of fantasy to make it fun.
Not really perimenopause related
The story doesn’t really need the few references to perimenopause. You could basically take those out and even leave the title as it is and the story would be missing a single thing. Feels like it’s just been added to a story that was already written just to try and cash in on the publicity perimenopause is now so rightfully receiving.
There are few quips about menopause related issues and making sense or humour from them, just a few mentions of HRT and such here and there.
Hot, funny and love is always a possibility!
An absolute page turner, couldn’t stop laughing but wanting to know what happened next! Easily identifiable characters and exactly what the menopause can do to you physically,mentally and emotionally! I didn’t want this book to end and read it within 24 hours! Plus a haughty handsome hunk thrown, bliss!!!
