Mother’s Day is almost upon us and if she’s anything like mine, your mum deserves the world. There is no price that can be put on their worth and much as you would like to give her the world… it’s not possible.
What we are offering this Mother’s Day is the chance to win her an escape to another world, either in fiction or on her dinner table.
May sees the release of the new Karly Lane novel Second Chance Town, which I am eagerly awaiting, and to celebrate Allen & Unwin are generously providing us with a set of 6 Karly Lane novels and 4 runners up prizes of The Lovers’ Guide to Rome by Mark Lamprell and What’s For Dinner by Nadia Lim.
This is what Goodreads has to say about Second Chance Town:
The town of Bundah is dying, with many of its young people fleeing for jobs in the city. A desperate plan to revive Bundah’s fortunes – with generous incentives to attract new businesses – results in a flood of people coming to the town to set up shop.
As Bundah begins to come to life with the new arrivals, a spate of teenage drug overdoses starts to divide the locals. Many are convinced the narcotics trade has been brought to town by one of the newcomers. It doesn’t help that the mysterious new owner of one of the local pubs has a dark past.
Lucy Parker is a single mother doing her best to support her teenage daughter, Belle, through her last year of high school. It’s long been Belle’s dream to go to university, so when she starts to stray, hanging out with the wrong kids and experimenting with alcohol and possibly drugs, her mother is deeply troubled.
The very last thing Lucy needs is for a man like Hugh Thompson to mess with her heart and disrupt her life. However it seems fate has other ideas.
Suspenseful, pacy and packed with romance, Second Chance Town is a scintillating novel that is sure to grow the fan base Karly Lane has established with her bestselling novels Poppy’s Dilemma and Gemma’s Bluff.
The Karly Lane book pack includes:
- Second Chance Town
- Tallowood Bound
- Poppy’s Dillema
- Gemma’s Bluff
- Bridies Choice
- Morgan’s Law
4 lucky runners up will receive:

I devour books, vampires and supernatural creatures are my genre of choice but over the past couple of years, I have broadened my horizons considerably. In a nutshell – I love to write! I love interacting with a diverse range of artists to bring you interviews. Perhaps we were perfect before – I LOVE WORDS!


With such a buzy life , work kids , mum deserves a little ray of sunshine and I know books take her to another place 🙂
Where she dreams of sexy alpha men, falls in love with words on pages and I catch her sheepishly grinning in her little corner of the world.
She deserves it as she’s special unique n one of a kind .
My mum is 74 and just had major back surgery, she’s in a lot of pain and these books will transport her somewhere else for a while. Perfect
Because it looks like the most perfect way to relax and unwind!!
I don’t have my mum any more but I know she loved to read and found it pure escapism, as do I. I would love to be swept away and not have to think about the challenges of life for just a little while.
My mum loves reading and what better way to spend an afternoon than in her favorite chair with a cup of tea, relaxing with a great book.
My elderly mum pretty much house bound now so would love to win her these books so she can escape into her reading she loves to read must be where I get the book worm bug from
My mum deserves this beautiful prize because even though she only went to school for two years before having to go and work to help support her family, she loves reading, and instilled that passion of reading in me. For that I’ll always be grateful.
Although she doesn’t get to read as much as she would like nowadays, I know she would really appreciate this and it’d be the perfect excuse for her to take some time out for herself.
My mum would love these.
Her kids keep on breeding and then she offers to babysit them all #notatthesametime lol
These would be perfect to fill in the napping downtime hours
She is the most patient & sweetest grandma ever! Love you mum
My darling mum is no longer with us, I do know if she was i would now have all Karly Lane’s books in my possession and my mum would of enjoyed her books as much as I do. During some of the tougher times in life, reading can take you to another place, wash away stress and bring some enjoyment to your day. Would be stoked to win these for mothers day. Big loves to my mum xxxxxx
I inherited my mums love of reading absolutely everything I could get my hands on. Mum is a huge fan of Karly Lane and I know these books would make this Mothers Day the best yet!
