Four O'Clock (Time #2)Four O’Clock by Josephine Traynor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Four O’Clock by Josephine Traynor is book 2 in her Time Series, it is a romantic comedy about two people that are completely misunderstood, with dreams of successful futures and no plans for any sort of committed relationships.

Charlotte runs her family’s clothing store. Her family expects her to take over the business someday. All Charlotte wants to do is design and feels under appreciated and not taken seriously. She tried the dating thing and it ended in heartbreak and has made up her mind that that will never happen again.

Chris, behind on his bills, moving back in with his brother who pretty much raised him when they lost their parents when Chris was very young. He works in the kitchen of his brothers restaurant with dreams of becoming an architect someday, if he could only afford to go to school. Always being reminded that he is a screw up he has never shared with his brother any of his dreams for the future.

Charlotte and Chris meet when Chris and his brother Patrick rush into her store to buy a new suit for Patrick’s first date with someone he met online. Through conversation Charlotte realizes that this someone he is meeting is her best friend Ava. With events that follow it seems the universe is against Patrick and Ava meeting which sets Charlotte and Chris on a matchmaking mission, that ends up making them both question their thoughts about dating. Their connection is immediate, what they have in common is undeniable. Can these two fulfill their mission? Can they let their guards down enough to realize what is staring them in the face? And most importantly can they both find a way to be taken seriously in their hopes for the future?

I did not read the first book of this series, but I plan to as soon as possible. I absolutely loved this book, I loved the way the author brought these characters to life for me. Her writing style grabbed me from page one and didn’t let go. Every part was perfect and I didn’t want it to end!! 5 amazing stars!!

A Quarter to Twelve (Time #1)A Quarter to Twelve by Josephine Traynor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Quarter to Twelve by Josephine Traynor is my first encounter with the writer and I really enjoyed it! It is the first book of the series and as we meet also the characters who are the leads in the next book, I cannot wait for the second book.
I assume every one of us has at some point in time thought about joining an online dating service AND most likely actually followed through with it … I luckily did not have the ‘fun’ that Ava experienced with her trial (no unsavory pictures) or maybe it is the Australian thing . I am sure though that all of us have a friend or a friend of a friend with a horror story about online dating so we can for sure relate to what Ava went through.
What I loved about Ava and Patrick, our two leads, that they are completely ‘normal’ – no six packs or size 0 blondes having everything going for them. No, they are like you and me, with their imperfections and baggage and triggers and doubts and at the same time, both of them still hope for someone who puts them first, stands next to them and supports them through thick and thin!
I had such a fun reading this book. I was rooting for both Ava and Patrick! I was screaming at Ava’s mother in my head and I was frustrated with all the twists and challenges they had when trying to meet. I laughed and I cried and above all, I hoped for them to be there for each other and stick it out and prove that there is someone out there for each of us and we simply need to take a chance!
As I said, I will be reading the second book – Chris and Charlotte’s book as well!
