I am delighted to feature Meet Me Under The Clock by Jo Lovett. This uplifting romcom was published by Boldwood Books on 11th April.
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 Thoughts
The clock on the concourse at Waterloo Station is an iconic symbol in stories and films set in London and it serves as a believable setting to bring Nadia and Tom together. Both stood up, they befriend three other who are assembled there and form an unlikely but heartwarming friendship. With one pair getting engaged and another breaking up with her husband, there is a lot going on!
Tom amd Nadia form a fake dating pact which leads to much humour as well as the promise of romance. I particularly enjoyed Nadia’s trip to Tom’s family home and the events that followed. Nadia has had a series of disastrous first dates so she is keen to impress her work colleagues with her latest ‘boyfriend’. Being such likeable and decent people, both Nadia and Tom soon realise that misleading their friends and families is not the way to go and then of course, their relationship gets more involved. With a wry look at romance and friendships old and new, this is an uplifting read, perfect for a weekend away.
In short: fate brings strangers together
