I want to read romcoms about women with kids

I’ve been feeling like light reading amidst the horrors of 2020 but I just noticed I’ve read 14 commercial fiction novels in a row where the heroine is in her 20s and single without kids. I want laugh out loud books about 30+ women with kids BUT who are having adventures and/or romances - not just their life as a wife and mum. Aren’t there enough of us doing second time around dating for publishers to notice, or am I missing a section of the market entirely?? Surely these stories exist?

Please and thank you for any recommendations.

Thanks for other recs; I will try Virgin River series as I binged the first series of Netflix version.

Fiona Gibson is your woman. Her heroines are usually single mums and there's always at least one hunky love interest if not more.

I was just going post recommending Fiona Gibson. I have really enjoyed all her books and they are exactly what it sounds like you’re after!

There aren't any children in virgin river series are there?

Most Marian Keyes books seem to be older women with kids
