Book Information

When successful business-owner Kate Shaw realises she is pregnant, after a fling with a previous lover, she has life-changing decisions to make. She needs to be in control of her life. Pregnancy in her fifties was never part of the plan. It becomes her secret.
The risks of having a baby at her age are clear but she struggles with the idea of an abortion. No-one understands her increasingly erratic behaviour as the preoccupation takes over her life.
Her marriage is precarious; the relationship with her former lover uncertain.
Is this the way to madness?

This is a gripping story about dark choices, gnawing discontent and the uncertainties of love.

My Review

4☆ A Compelling and Quick Read

I had the pleasure of reading the first book in this series... A Taste of his own Medicine which left on a bit of a cliffhanger ready for A Prescription for Madness to follow on.

Kate is pregnant with her Ex boyfriend's Baby. 

But Kate is far from overjoyed by the prospect, as she is of an age where pregnancy can be very risky, and as always, things in Kate’s life are far from uncomplicated.

You see Kate is married to Neil and ex Jonathan was only ever meant to be about revenge, she never expected to fall pregnant.
What a dilemma she finds herself in!
Jonathan wants her back, she's pregnant with his baby, her hubby Neil doesn't know....with so many secrets and lies already... what will Kate decide to do?

This book deals with some sensitive subjects which are handled with the right amount of sensitivity.
The characters are well written, but not entirely likeable and this time round, I found myself disliking Kate even more especially with her spiraling self destruction!
Once again this book is a Compelling and quick read, that looks at relationships, pregnancy, betrayal, affairs, secrets, consequences, heartache and lies.
I would however recommend reading these books in order so you get to grips with the backstory of the characters.
