The Woman Who Met Her Match: A funny romantic comedy that will make you laugh out loud!

What if your first love came back on the scene…30 years later?

After yet another disaster, Lorrie is calling time on online dating. She might be single in her 40s, but she’s got a good job and wonderful children, and she’s happy. This, Lorrie decides, is going to have to be enough.

That is until she receives a very unexpected request from France. Antoine Rousseau, who had once turned a lonely French exchange trip into a summer of romance, wants to see her – after 30 years.

But Lorrie is a responsible woman. She can’t exactly run off to Nice with the man who broke her teenage heart…can she?

A wonderfully funny novel, perfect for fans of Jill Mansell, Joanna Bolouri and Milly Johnson.
