Blog Tour: The First Date by Zara Stoneley

Book Review: The First Date by Zara Stoneley

After breaking up with her childhood sweetheart, clueless dater Rosie has found herself in a boyfriend-drought. So when she finally swipes right on a guy who seems interested, she can’t wait to meet up in person.

Until she’s left standing alone. In a bar. Stood up.

Enter Noah. Confident, funny … and a serial first dater. Offering to give Rosie a crash course in seduction, this could be just what she needs. Until her matchmaker turns out to be the best date she’s ever had – and Rosie wonders if she wants the fake dates to be the real ones after all

 

I am very happy to once again be welcoming Zara Stoneley back to Novel Kicks with the blog tour for her latest novel, The First Date, published today.

Rosie has just split up with her childhood sweetheart so in the dating stakes, she’s a little clueless.

Her first step into online dating is a disaster when she is stood up, sitting at a bar, alone.

This is where she meets Noah. He’s a confident serial first dater and he has offered to give her a crash course in seduction.

But what happens when Rosie wants a date with her matchmaker?
