Paper Daffodils: A Dawn & Rosie Adventure Kindle Edition

4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 34 ratings

Is it ever too late for a love story? Dawn Clermont certainly doesn’t think so. Rosie Bishop absolutely disagrees.

The last place divorcee Rosie wants to be is on a Seniors Retreat in the Lake District. She’s determined not to have
a good time, but an unexpected reunion with an old friend thwarts her plans. Her armour of bitterness proves no
match for the spirited widow Dawn; dragged through a whirlwind of adventures and betrayed by her own sense of humour, Rosie soon realises she hasn’t got a hope of staying sullen.

As Rosie clings to the remnants of her sarcasm, something about Dawn draws her closer than ever before. Soon, their bond threatens to run deeper, but is the possibility of a budding romance worth risking their rekindled friendship?

Omg I loved this book ! Loved the two main characters Rosie and Dawn. Loved the mischief they got into. Such a sweet story, involving later in life lesbians. Can’t wait for further adventures

Dawn is so good for Rosie and vice versa. Wonderful funny read about two fun, vibrant shall we say a little older gals.

We don’t often get stories with protagonists over forty, but here they’re over 60. Brava! These two are hilarious. Loved the banter and madcap comedy. This book definitely lands in my reread pile!

Titania Tempest has written an absolutely adorable romance between two feisty women in their early 60s. Rosie and Dawn’s misadventures are hilariously chronicled and I can’t tell you the amount of times I actually laughed out loud while shaking my head at the same time. These two women most definitely find trouble no matter if they’re kayaking, shopping, or searching for an elusive waterfall. The dialogue is full of charm and witty banter while the scenery surrounding their adventures of exquisitely detailed. There are so many zippy one-liners interspersed with profound words of wisdom that I found myself continuously highlighting. I look forward to looking back at them when I need a little pick-me-up.

Dawn and Rosie’s story is a heartwarming tale that will leave you smiling from ear to ear. From friends to lovers, these two are perfectly suited and well-suited for one another, which goes to show you that it’s never too late for love. Rosie’s grumpiness is no match for Dawn’s sunshine and rainbows and the two will make you fall in love with them in no time. Their banter is witty and their adventures are hilarious. This book is a gem that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun and charming read!

What an amazing book.
So different from the normal lesbian romance, it stars Rosie, a grumpy 60 year old divorcee and her old, slightly crazy friend Dawn, who's recently a widower, both spouses being men.
They end up sharing a hotel room in Lake District and get into some hilariously crazy scrapes. I absolutely loved these strong, hard-headed, cantankerous women.
Fantastic read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Une lecture réconfortante et remplie d'humour
Reviewed in France on October 1, 2023
Il raconte l'histoire de deux amies, Dawn et Rosie, qui ravivent une amitié et font des bêtises. Think Grace et Frankie rencontrent AbFab dans une comédie romantique qui a tellement d'âme. Et il y a vraiment tellement de choses à faire : des loups, une poursuite en voiture à grande vitesse* et même une interprétation karaoké chantée de Shrek 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, funny, character driven sapphic romance
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 14, 2023
Part romcom, part love letter to a very British way of life, "Paper Daffodils" manages to cram a huge amount of creativity, wit, and laugh-out-loud situational comedy into a wonderfully cozy read.

The characters are well drawn, relatable and most importantly believable; the scrapes they find themselves in are handled deftly - with wit and enough of a light touch that any sense of danger is tempered by the knowledge that these two strong minded and strong willed women (and their sidekick part way through) will be able to handle anything life throws at them, even if Rosie does moan incessantly about it.

One slight content warning, around the use of mild language, and a note that some scenes, although not overt, contain content you may not wish younger readers to see - this is a sapphic novel after all...

That notwithstanding, this is an incredibly warm and funny book that appears (at time of writing) as if it might be part of a series (I hope), and bears re-reading to capture all the subtleties of an incredibly clever writer operating at the peak of her storytelling powers and clearly having immense fun doing so.

5.0 out of 5 stars A masterclass in characterisation
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 18, 2023
This dialogue-rich story of the unexpected reunion of two old friends at a Lake District retreat is lively, uplifting and authentic.

There are many moments of humour, but, essentially, this is a subtle love story where the friendship of sixty-somethings Rosie and Dawn develops into gentle romance.

The carefully-paced storyline is refreshing, and not without drama, and details of the relationship tastefully delivered.

It is inconceivable that this feisty pair are fictional; I believed every word!

(I hope they make it to Africa, by the way... Book 2?)
