I’m delighted today to be joining the blog tour for Meet Me Under the Clock by Jo Lovett: published on 11th April by Boldwood Books, it’s now available as an ebook (free via Kindle Unlimited), in paperback, and as an audiobook. My thanks, as always, to Rachel at Rachel’s Random Resources for the invitation and support, and to the publishers for my advance reading e-copy (provided via netgalley).
When Boldwood first set up, I couldn’t resist trying every new author if their books looked like they might be for me – and I don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed. But that’s not possible any more – so I look at those “if you like the books of x and y, this one’s for you”, and try to make the best choices I can. This is the third book of Jo’s that they’ve published (her backlist is far, far longer…), but only the first I’ve read. How on earth I missed some of her earlier books like The First Time We Met and The House Swap I really don’t know, because they certainly look like books I’d enjoy – but there was something about the synopsis of her latest that made me think it might be time that I gave her writing a try…
Sometimes love happens when you least expect it…
When Nadia and Tom are both unceremoniously stood up by their dates under the clock at Waterloo Station, fate throws them together in the most unusual of circumstances.
What starts as a brilliant story for future dinner parties soon turns into a wonderful friendship, and both Tom and Nadia realise they’ve found the perfect partner in crime.
Tired of dating but always needing a plus one for weddings, parties, and the like, they agree to fake date each other. But as their pretend relationship starts to feel more real, Nadia and Tom begin to wonder if there’s more to their connection than convenience.
Could the relationship they’ve been faking be the one they’ve been waiting for all along?
A heartwarming fake dating rom com, perfect for fans of Beth O’Leary and Sophie Kinsella.
My sincere apologies – another book I really loved, and another review I’ve been unable to write because of my recent surgery. In a few days, as soon as I’m feeling more like myself again, I promise my review will follow…
