Summary

With another chance at love, what could possibly go wrong?

Recovering from heartbreak, unlucky-in-love events manager Cara has vowed to avoid relationships. That is until fate throws her into the path of handsome and kind Henry, who is worlds apart from the men she’s dated before. Unfortunately, this encounter is short-lived when Cara misses her coach home—and with it, any chance of seeing him again.

But fate is not finished with the mismatched couple. When Cara quite literally bumps into Henry a second time at a work event, the run-in leaves them with feelings instead of bruises, and they can’t wait another day before seeing each other again. Yet it soon becomes clear how deeply different their worlds are: Cara’s drama-filled African and Caribbean family couldn’t be further from Henry’s family of wealthy lords and ladies.

With interfering relatives, problem friends, and an inconvenient ex-boyfriend attempting a comeback, everything seems stacked against the two new lovebirds. This is no straightforward love story—Cara and Henry will have to get creative with romance if they stand any chance of beating the odds to win their happy ever after.

The Second Time We Met is a hilarious and heartwarming romance, perfect for anyone who believes in second chances.

Critic reviews

“Williams's (Imperfect Arrangements) latest is enlivened by Remmie Miller's lovely and smooth narration…. [F]or [listeners] who enjoyed Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones's Diary.”Library Journal

“Plenty of laugh-out-loud moments…and Williams’s exploration of the British class system is on point. This is sure to charm.”Publishers Weekly

“With lovable characters, this heartwarming, humorous, romantic story will resonate with anyone who’s path to finding love hasn’t exactly been smooth.”Candis magazine

My first time reading from this author

I love the story line. I love the way the author merged Cora and Henryˋs world. I love the humor and romance. Frances is a brilliant author and I will surely be looking out for her other books.

Tailed off

I liked the premise but felt the story tailed off. Some of the accents performed were potentially offensively bad.
