#BlogTour-‘Bonnie and Stan’ by Anna Stuart

About the book….

‘A fresh, original love story, beautifully told.’ RUTH HOGAN, author of The Keeper of Lost Things

After 50 years together Stan still adores his wife… so why is he dating again?

Bonnie and Stan are soulmates. They met during the Swinging Sixties, to the soundtrack of The Beatles and the Merseybeat scene. Now they’ve grown up and grown old together, had children and grandchildren. They are finally building their dream home, when disaster strikes.

Stan is running out of time, and can’t bear the thought of leaving Bonnie alone. Alongside his teenage granddaughter Greya, he forms a plan to find Bonnie a new love of her life. And she must never find out…

Bonnie & Stan is a poignant, surprising love story set during the Swinging Sixties and the present day. Ultimately feel-good and full of emotion, Bonnie & Stan will make your heart sing.

Massive thanks to Tracy Fentone at Compulsive Readers for the blogtour invite and Netgalley/Orion for my ebook copy !

‘Bonnie and Stan’ is available in ebook and paperback format from 30th May 2019 wherever good books are sold.

Bonnie has finally.got the land and planning permission to build the house that she has designed and at her and Stan’s time of life,anyone would think they are crazy to start over.

Architect Bonnie sees nothing standing in her and Stan’s way,until circumstances threaten to derail what should.be golden years for them both.

Love,loss and longevity are major themes running through this story with the commonality of hope against all odds.

It is a love letter,  not just to the relationship between these two characters, but also the time they lived in.It’s a love letter to Liverpool,the changing roles of women, and a hugely exciting time of change and challenge in the late 20th Century.

As the story travels back and forth in time, you become more and more invested in the urgency of time for Stan to achieve his dream for Bonnie before it is too late.

By the end your heart is a big bit broken and you feel a bone deep emptiness where Bonnie and Stan lived inside you. It’s a beautiful and resonant story which I unreservedly recommend (alongside a large box of tissues).

About the author…

Anne Stuart is a grandmaster of the genre, winner of Romance Writers of America’s prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award, survivor of more than thirty-five years in the romance business, and still just keeps getting better.

Her first novel was Barrett’s Hill, a gothic romance published by Ballantine in 1974 when Anne had just turned 25. Since then she’s written more gothics, regencies, romantic suspense, romantic adventure, series romance, suspense, historical romance, paranormal and mainstream contemporary romance for publishers such as Doubleday, Harlequin, Silhouette, Avon, Zebra, St. Martins Press, Berkley, Dell, Pocket Books and Fawcett.

When she’s not traveling, she’s at home in Northern Vermont with her luscious husband of thirty-six years, an empty nest, three cats, four sewing machines, and one Springer Spaniel, and when she’s not working she’s watching movies, listening to rock and roll (preferably Japanese) and spending far too much time quilting.
