Feeling a little sad and sorry with the dregs of champagne to keep her company on the morning of her fiftieth birthday, nevertheless Rosa Taylor was also feeling relief. She had ended the six year affair with her boss the night before, finally realising he was never going to leave his wife as he’d continued to promise her.

Moving dep Feeling a little sad and sorry with the dregs of champagne to keep her company on the morning of her fiftieth birthday, nevertheless Rosa Taylor was also feeling relief. She had ended the six year affair with her boss the night before, finally realising he was never going to leave his wife as he’d continued to promise her. She was looking forward to her new life – to being her own person again. Her best friend Jenny was returning from Oregon soon and she couldn’t wait to see her again.

Moving departments to take her away from her old boss’ circle was the best thing for Rosa to do – she would certainly feel better if she never saw him again. But it seemed there were secrets in the upstairs hierarchy – secrets that those keeping them didn’t want found. And when independent consultant Harry Kennedy appeared on the scene Rosa felt uncertainty and confusion. Her decision to quit the company she’d been a member of for the past thirty years wasn’t taken lightly, but it felt right…

Noosa on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast had never looked brighter and Rosa was determined to enjoy everything about her life from then on. After all, she didn’t need a man for happiness – her friend Jenny as well as new friend Alex would keep her life filled. But would fate step in to change her plans? And when Rosa was threatened, it seemed that things weren’t going to be as easy as she’d thought…

Champagne for Breakfast is another fabulous read by Aussie author Maggie Christensen which I absolutely loved! The author writes her older characters with such depth and insight so as to make them real and genuine. The placing of this novel is in such a beautiful area of the country; set on the coast of Australia in one of the most pleasing and alluring settings, it is easy to feel the laid back atmosphere, the camaraderie of the locals and the glorious sunshine. I have been there – it made me want to return! Champagne for Breakfast is another which I highly recommend.

With thanks to the author for my digital copy to read and review.

Rosa has been having a relationship with her boss for 6 years with him promising to leave his wife. Of course this doesn't happen! Rosa discovers that there are discrepancies in the accounts ...more
