Series: Time Series #2
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release: April 22, 2017
Cover: Pink Ink Design
Charlotte and Chris were happy to play matchmaker for Ava and Patrick - they certainly didn’t expect to find love themselves.
Charlotte
I’m the kinda girl that’s looking for one night and not anything after that. I refuse to date. I’ve been down that road before and it ended in heartache. For now, I’ll focus on my designs, my business and me. That’s what I told myself until tall, dark and dimpled walked into my shop and everything changed.
Chris
I’m the kinda guy that girls only want for the night and even then, I make sure there’s no invitation for breakfast. Broke, living at my brother’s place while working in his kitchen - I’m not exactly boyfriend material.
Commitaphobes Charlotte and Chris have never felt understood. These two have so much in common, it feels like they have found the other half to themselves. Shying from relationships, they move into the unknown territory of being … daters.

REVIEW
4.5 stars
I’ve loved Josephine Traynor ever since I read an ARC copy of her debut novel ‘Rock Bottom’. I loved that story and she continues to write stories that I love. I loved the first instalment of the Time series and ‘Four O’ Clock’ didn't let me down.
You could read this book as a standalone and have no issues with not understanding anything so that's great. However, I would suggest reading both instalments as it gives you a deeper connection to the characters. We meet Charlotte and Chris in the first book and now I’m so happy that we have their story too.
This book had everything, the sad, the happy and the moments that make you laugh out loud and the sexy. I really loved how this book portrayed each different element and connected them all to make one great story.
I can’t wait for the next instalment!

— ABOUT THE AUTHOR: JOSEPHINE TRAYNOR —
I’m a writer with a dream of sharing the characters I see in my head with others and have you fall in love with them too. I have been a writer since I was a little girl and finally got brave enough to show my work to a friend. My friend asked for more and that, in turn, resulted in me showing a couple more friends, who told me this book needs to be published.
On the other side of the pen name, I’m a mother of two and that’s a big part of why I’m using a pen name. This is MY career choice, not theirs. It’s not about being ashamed of my work, far from it, I am super proud but I have a responsibility. The other reason is due to wanting to keep the focus on my work. For the lack of a better pun, I’m an open book, ask me anything, but I think my books are far more interesting than I am.
I think about writing and characters all the time. I love nothing more than sitting down at my computer, or even with my pen and notebook, to get my imagination down on paper. I try to create characters that feel like friends, people that the reader would want to know. I aim to write stories that not only give you a laugh, but have you thinking about your own life.
About the actual name – I’d chosen another name and found out that there is another author out there with the same name. Back to the drawing board, I chose my favourite name – which was Josephine. As for the Traynor part, I’d just finished reading Jojo Moyes’ Me Before You and Will Traynor’s choices and suggestions about living to the fullest and without regret was another push for me to follow my dreams.
Thanks for dropping by and I hope you fall in love with a few laughs along the way.
