Blind Dates

By: Gordon Macmillan

Narrated by: Joe Jameson

Is true love just a few dates away... or even closer than you think?

Tom has always been a hopeless romantic: but now he's just hopeless. After lockdown in particular made the millennial a reclusive introvert, it was finally time to get back 'out there' – at least according to his best friends Adam, Allison and sister Sarah.

As the group sets up 10 dates to rejuvenate Tom's love life, he soon realises how difficult the dating scene has become, along with juggling his Shakespearean-themed cafe and a hobby of romantic mixtape making.

As some of the dates turn into disasters, an old flame keeps reappearing in Tom's sight – along with bitter-sweet memories. Fearing it may be too little too late, Tom must decide whether he can date his way to happiness, or find his true match was under his nose the whole time...

Gordon is a former journalist writing about media and technology. He now works in marketing for Twitter UK. He has also blogged about dating and politics. He has published two novels: Songs For Your Mother (2021) and Ten Dates to Happiness (2022).

Bad Audio Files

I love the narrator however I had to stop continuing the story because the audio is incomplete from chapter 19 onwards, a total waste of money as it is not worth buying until it’s fixed

glitches made it un-listenable

I was really enjoying this book until the end of chapter 18. I picked it up because of the narrator, he's one of my favorites and even though this did not have any reviews yet I was interested.

Unfortunately, there are glitches in the recording that make it so you can't even listen to the story because it skips entire important conversations and events. chapter 19 is missing most of what was going on, and it's really frustrating. I will definitely come back to finish it if this is fixed, but sadly as it is I have no desire to finish listening.
