"A wonderfully bright and buzzy relationship story that isn't afraid to delve into feelings and look beyond romance."
A sparky, touching, thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable relationship tale that is both accessible and engaging. When Zara flies to the UK to be with the man she loves, she really doesn’t expect to bump into Jim. As Jim spends time with Zara, he begins to look at his humdrum life, and what he can do about it.
I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Zara and Jim, Hayley Doyle really does bring these two characters and their friends to life. I felt as though I was becoming friends with them myself. Imperfections and flaws allow depth and emotion to emerge. This most certainly isn’t pink and fluffy, it has a tangy edge, and isn’t afraid to delve into feelings and look beyond romance.
Wonderfully buzzy and full of light, Never Saw You Coming celebrates taking a chance in life with friendships, love, and new beginnings.

A compelling story about fate changing people’s lives.
I found this a compelling story about fate changing people’s lives in quite a dramatic way. The principal character, Jim, is a young man, living in Liverpool, just scraping by in a dead-end job, until fate hands him a lifeline to better things, then almost immediately takes it away again. An unfortunate incident brings him into contact with Zara, a young woman from a very different background, who has come to Liverpool from her comfortable life in Dubai. The short time they spend together ultimately changes life for both of them. Although the story is a bit predictable, it’s very entertaining and an easy read. It’s a character-driven story and the author has really got under the skin of the characters and brought them to life.... Read Full Review
