Molly Bramble thought running a bookshop on a narrowboat would be a dream come true – until her biggest challenge turned out to be her new neighbour, Jack, a former city trader with a penchant for crashing boats and hearts.
When a “Blind Date with a Book” night goes awry, Molly finds herself reluctantly paired with Jack and his lack of literary knowledge. Will their rivalry over mooring fees and a missing sign lead to a sinking ship – or a love story with a plot twist?
As Molly and Jack navigate the choppy waters of romance, sabotage, and the occasional dog rescue, will their blossoming romance prove that sometimes the best stories are the ones we never see coming?
Blind Date with a Book is absolutely a book lover’s dream book. It is a lovely, light-hearted, and heartwarming read, perfect for enjoying while sitting outside in the spring or summer with a glass of something sparkling (you can even imagine it is from the fictional Jericho Wine Barge). As someone who used to live in Oxford, I had the best time reading about the house boating community in one of my favourite places.
If you enjoy:
– enemies to lovers
– books about books
– forced proximity
– dogs (Hilda has my heart)
– light romance
then Blind Date with a Book is absolutely the perfect read for you.
