A gorgeous story with such a beautiful setting. I loved seeing the second chance at love Lori found and I can't think of a more beautiful place for that to happen than the Caribbean.

I wasn't aware this was the second book in a series but not having read the first didn't make much of an impact,

I had high hopes for this one! I’m a mom and reading the synopsis it thrilled me to think about the fun that’s ahead when your child grows up. It was sad though to be honest. There’s something hard about children growing up and I feel like maybe this could of touched some on that.

This was good story of a mom falling in love it was cute and sad and funny and the setting in the carribean didn’t hurt either this was a fun adventure

Thank you Netgalley for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is the second book in the Backpacking Housewife Series. I didn’t realize this when I first starting reading it. I just read the synopsis on it, and thought it sounded good! I was able to follow along and didn’t realize this was book 2 until the end.

Lori discovered that her ex husband had been cheating on her, and decides to back her bags and travel the world. Lori meets Ethan who is working on conservation projects, and decides to join him. Lori is starting to find herself and what she wants out of life. Along their journey they come into some problems with some of the projects.

This book was really fun and funny and I loved the dedication and adventures they go on. All the challenges that go on in this book are turned into light hearted humor.

This story was packed with everything. It had elements of adventure, romance, finding yourself, and family dilemmas. I thought it was a really enjoyable and quick read. I am going to go back and read the first in the series too. But, I would suggest this book if you’re looking for a quick adventure and romance read!

Thank you for the opportunity to read this book, it was very enjoyable. I found the plot line engaging and the characters believable. Overall lighthearted and fun. I have not read anything by this author before but will do in the future! I will be recommending this book to friends and family.

I found this book slightly boring tbh it took me so long to read as It just
didnt keep me interested

I absolutely love reading about Lori! She’s fantastic! Such a strong independent woman. Granted she wasn’t quite sure what she wanted. Beautifully written, such wonderful characters to support Lori on her journey! I really hope there’s going to be another book.

Lori didn’t let the ultimate betrayal of her husband and best friend’s affair get her down in the dumps. Nope she grabbed life by the horns and went off on adventures around the world meeting the infamous environmentalist Sir Ethan Goldman and falling in love. This story is about family, one woman’s sheer determination to do what’s right and forgiveness. It’s a lovely book that really got my taste for wanderlust flowing. Lori travels to some exotic places in her quest to get the island of Ethan’s dreams in husband hands. I also learnt about conservation too.

Actual rating 3.5 stars. I was going in between 3 and 4 stars when reading.

The Backpacking Housewife: The next adventure is the second book in the back packing housewife series.

I came into this book not having read the first but I had a look at the synopsis and decided to give it a try. I found you can pick this up without having read the first as there is references to previous events. Although I’ve ordered the first book as I really enjoyed this one.

We follow Lori who after discovering her ex cheating went travelling round the world in the previous book. She’s already overseas with the new love interest.

It was a nice light hearted read, the romance was lovely and the scenery was described so well it was amazing to read this whilst listening to the rain in my living room I could imagine I was on holiday. A few laugh out loud moments caught me by surprise too. I feel like I’ve read this kind of story before in chick-lit though which did effect my rating slightly, still a nice short read.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Wow, well I knew I had loved the first Backpacking Housewife book, but I think I may adore this second one even more!

Read in an afternoon poolside, I was whizzing through the pages of this action packed story with a plot and sort of adventure most would never encounter in a lifetime.

It is an exhilarating read of travel, both to exotic places but also for me much closer to home, but also a story of family, and trying to work out what your heart really desires.

I'm absolutely loving this next step in Ethan and Lori's lives, and even just hearing what they get up to in the bit between the two books is exhausting but eye opening.

There is also a keen theme of animal conservation running through this book, and I love how they are always trying to save the planet.

With every book I'm reading of Janice Horton's, she is excelling herself and getting better and better.

I have loved discovering the British Virgin Islands in this book, especially the more remote ones, and all the travel aspects are so well described, it was like I was there beside them.

Although only present for a small bit, Monty was completely fabulous, and I loved getting to know him.

Wonderful book from a fabulous author, what more could a girl want from her holiday reading!

Thank you to Netgalley and One More Chapter for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

I didn't finish this, but I made it about 1/4 the way through. Take this review with a grain of salt. It simply was not what I was looking for after reading the synopsis. The writing and the story felt shallow, and I didn't like the direction things were heading. It definitely seems on the lighter side of things.

After finding her husband and wife in bed together this wife packs a bag and leaves everything behind! Janice brings to life this fantasy many of us have of travels through the islands of South East Asia. Good book.

I loved the second book in the Backpacking Housewife series. Lori is still with Ethan who works on conservation projects and we share more adventures in wonderful places, so that we can imagine taking the same adventures. The locations are stunningly described and leave you wanting to start travelling yourself.
Lori has lots of decisions and problems to think about in this book and you are wanting everything to work out for a happy ever after.
You can escape your old life- but you still have family ties pulling your emotions and making the decisions harder to make.
I would love to read more in this series,

What a great book! With only a backpack and a few items of clothing, Lori sets off on a wonderful adventure. Highly recommend!

What an excellent book with a great cover. The cover enticed me to read this book.
It’s well written and perfect for a summer holiday by the beach

The next instalment for the Backpacking Housewife, currently soaking up the Caribbean sunshine. All is not a bed of roses, however, as she finds herself yearning for her old life. An amusing, relaxed read with a bit of everything thrown in. Can be read as a standalone even if you have not read the first in the series. Enjoyable eacapism.

I absolutely loved the first title in this series and couldn't wait to get my hands on the second. I love the travel aspect to these books and the exotic locations always give me itchy feet and make me want to jump on a plane to explore. Thanks to the author's travels the descriptions are rich in detail and it's easy to get swept away to a Caribbean island. The story encapsulates beautifully how we can be torn in so many directions by the people we love and the endless guilt as we try and find the right balance. I couldn't but it down and would highly recommend it.

Absolutely fantastic had me gripped!!! Loved it! Can't wait for more from.this author. Storyline was great, characters were easy to.connect with

Thank you for the advanced copy

I so enjoyed reading The Backpacking Housewife, the first book I’ve read of the series. Being taken along on Lori and Ethan’s conservation journey’s intermingled with strong family ties including time apart, longing and disputes... there is a sense of adventure, spontaneous travel, and all for love that is never really far away. It really does make London seem grey, and the monotonous 9-5 boring, whilst there is world of adventure, vibrant colours, warmer climes and a planet to save.

An easy read, that’s well written, fast paced, and mentions environmental issues relevant for now. Lori misses her family after being away for a year, falls in love and is trying to make up her mind about her love for Ethan, all shown through crazy, but courageous acts to try and secure Waterfall Cay.
