Book Summary

Love & Laughter (and other disasters), is a closed door, clean romance with sweet intimate moments.

Life just got a whole lot more romantic in the village of Pelican Cove. Meryl has to choose between suave, ‘Captain Underpants’ and ‘Gardening Pop,’ each with another admirer of their own.

The story revolves around a group of midlife yogis who become entangled in each other’s lives. While they question the morality of falling in love ‘at their age,’ the author looks at aspects of vibrant, later-in-life relationships, with a dollop of humour thrown in.

My Thoughts

A very light-hearted, easy book to read. A feel-good romance with a little comedy sprinkled in. I would have liked to know what Meryl had said ‘Oh!’ about at the end of chapter 2. Maybe Elora can let us know on social media (wink, wink).

I enjoyed the way Elora describes everything in the story. It gives flight to the imagination. I must say, all these ‘seasoned’ ladies seem very sprightly haha! They are all still very active for their age which is great! What a lovely story of finding love at any age and still enjoying life even if you’re older in life.

I had a giggle at how these older people broached their new relationships like a bunch of teenagers, which just goes to show that it really doesn’t matter how old you are, you can still act like a lovesick fool and it’s okay.

I loved the storyline and would like to take this opportunity to thank Elora for sending me the ARC to review. It was a fun read. It took me a few hours to read and was a pleasant way to spend my afternoon relaxing and immersing myself in someone else’s world.

You will love this book if you enjoy romcoms that are clean and those that enjoy reading about mid-life romances. This book is being released today, so do yourself a favour and go and get it for yourself. I have included the link above but you can also click here.

I also have an interview with Elora Canne which I posted last week. If you want to know the author behind the book, then go and have a look at that post.
