I received an advanced reader's copy in exchange for an honest review

Whew. Always a pleasure to see a woman discover her own power. There are few surprises but you really do relate to Roxie as a wife and mother and feel for her struggle, and while the payoff is a bit obvious it still satisfies. 3.5 rounded up

I have read a few of Sheila O’Flanagan’s other novels and thoroughly enjoyed them. They look at families and feelings in a humorous and light hearted way and are very entertaining.
This one was a real family story. Roxy has recently lost her father and is trying to juggle between her husband and young family and her widowed mother.
One day she comes home early from her mother’s house to find her husband Dave and the next door neighbour in their marital bed.
Completely shocked, Roxy moves out with the children and stays with her mother to work out what she should do.
She had started running her father’s chauffeur business when he was taken I’ll and now she continues as she loves meeting the clients, providing a great service and she truly enjoys the driving.
However she obsesses about Dave and cannot rid herself of the image of him in bed with the neighbour. She feels hurt but he manages to turn his own indiscretion on her, saying he felt neglected whils she was helping her mother.
Roxy is a strong female character and I really enjoyed her humorous,self deprecating voice. I was rooting for her right from the beginning. She seemed very real and her struggles will resonate with many women.
Dave, however, became more and more controlling as the book progressed. He can’t see he has made a mistake and projects it all onto Roxy. She shouldn’t have stayed with her Mum so much, he felt neglected that’s why he transgressed. He hates her success in the chauffeur business and wants her to stop. In fact in some ways his character was almost too over the top. Would any man really behave like this nowadays?
Roxy has to decide what to do about his” mistake”. Can she forgive and forget or does the hurt run to deep?
I liked hearing about Roxy’s clients, particularly the mysterious Ivo, whom she starts to have feelings for as the story progresses.
An enjoyable read, perfect for the beach or holiday! If you’ve read other books by this author you will certainly enjoy this one.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for my arc in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you for the preview of this book.I think at this stage I have read all of Sheilas books and would consider myself a fan of her work and this book does not disappoint.A nice read I am recovering from an operation and have enjoyed reading this book the last few days

Even if I love this author this story wasn't my cup of tea. I found it slow and it didn't keep my attention.
Many thanks to Headline and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

A bit too slow a read for me unfortunately, so I was never particularly gripped. Well written, definitely, but just wasn’t the right style for me.

What a story, especially to read in March during women’s day. Such powerful women, Roxy ( only negative, not keen on the name but that’s my personal opinion) mother, wife, daughter and finally business woman. She was such a likeable, believable person that I needed to read on. She had the help of other strong women too, her mother, her daughter, her girlfriends and of course the women in her car all helping her with her decisions and supporting her as she found herself in the book. Dave the husband - urgh
I really enjoyed this one and highly recommend, if you have enjoyed any of Shelia O’Flangans other books this one will not disappoint.
Thank you for the opportunity to read this book.

I took awhile to get into this, but when I did I was gripped. I was eager to know what decision Roxy would make (I'm so glad she made the decision she did). I enjoyed reading about the way she built up her chauffeur business, and the conversations with her mum were good too. I can't help thinking that Dave's character was overdone. Are men really like that these days? He irritated the hell out of me. I liked the stories about Roxy's passengers. All in all, a great read, and the ending doesn't disappoint either.

As with all this authors books I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great lead character, lovely writing & a few twists along the way. I’d recommend this to anyone.

Love this author and was so excited when I was given the chance to review
Unfortunately have to say I was disappointed with the story line so much so I didn’t finish the book and I hate that
The story never really grasped my attention and would have given up sooner but tried to carry on
So sorry to say I didn’t enjoy it. I really wanted to love it

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. I could not put this book down, the characters in it were wonderful and there are quite a lot of twists and turns along the way.

A really good read. It follows the story of Roxy as she tried to recover from her husband’s betrayal. I really enjoyed this book and it’s insights into the characters although at times I felt the feminist angle was pushed hard and a bit heavier than it needed to be. A great story though

I really enjoyed this book. I love the main character and I think her husband was wrong in what he did. Through the book we follow how it affected her and her family. Everyone has it be in a relationship with a little bit of give and take. You won't be disappointed

I really enjoyed this book and I would highly recommend it. It has a great story line, excellent main characters and it is a real page turner. I read this book in one sitting and the hours just flew by!

Roxy has been happily married to Dave for 20 years, or so she thought. She returns home after her father’s funeral to find Dave in a compromising position with a neighbour. Dave swears to Roxy that it was all a mistake but it sets off a life changing sequence of events that has Roxy questioning everything about her life.

Another fantastic book by Sheila O’Flanagan. It has a great storyline with excellent characters. An entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable read which I would recommend.

It's the insights into human nature that Sheila O'Flanagan always nails. I find myself nodding in recognition of quiet truths. I rooted for Roxy from the get-go and I suspect Sheila's legions of fans will too.

Wow what a fantastic book.!!! I couldn’t put it down and could relate to all the wonderful characters.

Roxy has been happily married to her childhood sweetheart for 20 years and they have 2 children, but that all changes when she comes home unexpectedly to a life changing discovery.

With her life in turmoil Roxy throws herself into her late dads business hoping time will give her more perspective on the way ahead.

I felt so much for Roxy and understood how she had changed even though it wasn’t something she had wanted to happen. The decisions that are inevitable after trust has been broken are unimaginable difficult ! The understanding of Roxys situation was so accurate that it took my breath away.

I loved the ending of the book which left me hoping that Roxy will find the happiness she deserves. Brilliant empathetic writing from Sheila O Flanagan , definitely one not to miss!!

Thank you to the publishers and netgalley for my chance to read this page turner.

A great read with a story that flowed.
Thoroughly recommended.
Believable and likeable characters.

I really liked this book. A good solid story line and well written characters. Thanks for the chance to review.

Another wonderful book by Sheila O'Flanagan! Thoroughly enjoyed this book which is perfect for a good read on holiday! It tells of a married woman of two, whose husband has a one-off, and she starts a driving job when her dad dies and she inherits his merc and driving business. It keeps the reader enthralled from first to last page. Couldn't put it down and was very sorry when it ended.

Roxy's beloved father has just died and on the day of his funeral she returns home to the house she shares with her husband and two children. A massive surprise awaits her and it will change the way she looks at her life.
Roxy took over her dad's chauffeur business while he was ill and now he has passed away both her mother and her husband, Dave expect her to wind it up and sell the car.
Dave is particularly neanderthal about this and wants Roxy back as a stay at home mum and pregnant again. Roxy really enjoys working and the people she meets and she starts to change as a person.
Once again a great story by this author. I loved Roxy's mum and her outlook on life.
Dave drove me mad and I couldn't understand why Roxy had stuck with him for twenty years. He needed a mother,not a wife.
A few surprises in the book and I didn't know what way they were going but I'm happy with the ending.

I didn't really like the title of the book and wouldn't have been attracted to it. The author's name made me want to read it as I love her books.
