​Can an always-tardy garlic mogul and a punctual Silicon Valley librarian fall in love?

The world needs garlic and somebody’s got to sell that garlic. Cedric Johnson is that man. But even though he’s got just about everything he can wish for, Cedric is still missing one thing in his life: someone special. Fate may be on his side, but he encounters a few distractions along the way—like almost being killed by a UPS truck. Oh, and a little case of blackmail.

Ellie Fontaine is a walking Wikipedia with clear professional goals, but when it comes to landing Mr. Right, she doesn’t know jack squat. She gives online dating a shot, but ends up with an unappetizing buffet of unibrows and losers. What’s a girl to do?

After Ellie saves Cedric’s life, serendipity takes over as they continue to run into each other. Their connection grows stronger 
​with each meeting, even though he embodies her number one pet peeve: he’s always late. But even if they can get past their issues and misunderstandings, Ellie’s ex-boyfriend, an unscrupulous cop, will do anything to keep them apart.

FIVE MINUTES LATE is a hilarious fast-paced romantic comedy, full of snappy dialogue and fun, quirky characters, guaranteed to warm your heart.

Laugh out loud romantic comedies have always been my favorite genre to read. Lately though it seems like all the romance books I pick up are the same! Sure, they have different characters, but the plots are starting to blend together for me, and I’ve been VERY hesitant to read strictly within the romance genre. So, while I was browsing for something light and funny, I stumbled upon this author and decided to give it a chance. WOW! I am so glad I did! Five Minutes Late is HILARIOUS!!!! Laugh out loud funny, silly, and absolutely ADORABLE! I can’t remember the last time a book made me laugh this much and I am so grateful to have found an author that I can go to when I need something less serious. Don’t get me wrong, this book isn’t just about the funnies. There are some very deep parts to the story as well (which is amazing because he flawlessly adds these in while still making it feel like a comedy). But if you want something a bit on the lighter side (just like I did) then this is the perfect book to read! Honestly, it’s the whole package. I think the ONLY reason I went down a half a star with my rating is because the miscommunications between the hero and heroine was getting on my nerves. Not enough to make me dislike the book (obviously) but enough that it took away from my absolute LOVE for it.

In any event, I’m so glad I read this one and I’ve already got another one waiting on my iPad to read. I know I’m going to be a huge fan of this authors work! I can feel it in my bones! His humor and mine are right on par with one another!
