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

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!
My mum spends alot of time in her recliner knitting and reading as she is disabled so Im sure she will make good use from all this reading,and hopefully would pass them onto me when shes done..:)
Hi love this author , I would give this book to my mum to read
My mum deserves some time to relax and just chill out.
My mum’s getting older, this prize of romance novels with her imagination will transport her in comfort from her recliner, rather than the difficulty of negotiating bus steps with her stick.
*voice of miss 6*
Mum lets me support the adelaide crows, she a power supporter
she loves me cos she lets me support crows
Its hard to tell mum she failed in footy team indoctrination
She hadnt taken it well
My Mum always tries to wake with excitement and knows exactly what she wants to accomplish daily! She always tries to laugh louder, dance longer and live more extraordinarily than the day before! She’s a true inspiration to me and her energy infects everyone around her but I think she needs to slow down for a while and this would be perfect!
My 82 year old Mum is the full time carer for my diabetic, stroke victim Dad. It is a 24 / 7 job, with little reward. She loves reading, and for her it is an escape to somewhere else where cooking & nursing aren’t all consuming. I would love to win this for her xxx
I am the eldest living Mother in my family so im guessing its me that needs the escape to another world.
I must admit that I feel a little lost on Mothers Day now as I no longer have my Mum, My Gran (who lived to be 100yrs) or my Mother in law who I can proudly say that I adored and we never, ever had a bad word or any negative feeling between us.
Mothers Day for me is thinking fondly of those amazing woman and hoping that I will be thought of which such esteem by my daughters.
As wonderful as being a Mum is there are days where its all so very exhausting and I do have times where I wish i could just vanish for a while to recharge my batteries.
I feel that I have each day been the best possible Mum that I could be. Some days ive been better then others but each day i give all I have to give on that day. I think this is why I deserve some recharge time of being able to escape into another world for a bit.
My mother lost her mum recently and is often depressed. I would love to see her frown turn upside down.
My mother in law deserves this pack, as reading is her only form of rest and relaxation
