It has all the elements of a good rom-com – misunderstandings, quirky characters and a gorgeous love interest. There’s also a dash of crime and match making added for extra interest . . . A sweet romance that has plenty of subplots to keep you entertained. Definitely reading more by Claire Baxter.

I highly recommend this read for anyone looking for something fun and exciting, that delivers a nice message of letting go of the past.

ANYBODY BUT HIM is a delightfully sweet romance. I loved the quirky characters of Nicola's parents. Author Claire Baxter brought this exceptionally realistic romance that will touch your heart and make you shed tears.

I thoroughly enjoyed this romance novella by Claire Baxter for all sorts of reasons, not the least of which was the Irish connection. The heroine, Nicola Doyle, might have grown up next door to me. The fact that she had an elder sister named Una and that her parents were an elderly, mildly eccentric Irish couple who were also loving parents - just let's say I related. Another thing I love about this book is, it's a sweet romance, which means I can share it with my teenage daughters. Provided they've done all their homework, of course . . . Because this ticks all the boxes where a romance is concerned and a few more besides, I'm giving it a hi five.

This was pure chick lit through and through. A cute blossoming romance thats short enough to keep your attention till the end without feeling rushed.

Ms. Baxter's contemporary romance is witty and heartfelt.

This was a great little novella. It was a wonderful length for the story and gave us good insight into the characters without drawing things out . . . The entire cast of characters made this book a quick and fun read that had me smiling most of the way through it

I absolutely love it when a story has me so gripped that I have these rather loud outbursts of unrestrained laughter and Anbody But Him did just that, offering me a brief escape for a couple of hours.

Anybody But Him is a breezy, delightful, contemporary romance about letting go of the past, growing up, and not judging a book by its cover. Author, Claire Baxter also touches upon more serious life events such as fraud, aging parents, and divorce; however, she does so with a light hand. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the two main characters and watching the dynamic of their relationship change as the story unfolds. Although there are mature topics interwoven throughout the story and Blair’s dog is named Dammit; I would have no problem recommending this book to a teenager. I think they could easily identify with the life moments that the author has created. If you are looking for a short, sweet, and easy read after a long day at work or something to soak up on a lazy Sunday I highly recommend that you pick up a copy of Anybody But Him by Claire Baxter.

It is a sweet, honest romance that will make you fall in love. Personally, it took me awhile to get used to the Australian English, but after I got over that it was an enjoyable read. It made me laugh and cry, which in my opinion is the mark of a good book with a dynamic story. The main character Nicola Doyle was likable, I found her instantly relate-able with her terrible dating history and dislike of her hometown.

A sweet romance about love lost and then found again, even when you never thought it was possible.
