Publisher's summary

Jack Tate is hopeless....

Everything he touches turns into a disaster, but he means well. His business is even less successful than his love life. His once-thriving coffee shop was on the brink of bankruptcy, but salvation could be right under his nose.

At the insistence of his loyal and underappreciated assistant, Emma, he sees that the last hope of saving his business could be the only customers who’ve not deserted him for the faceless coffee chains - the old folk.

To attract new customers, Jack and Emma set up the Isle of Man’s first dating and social club for the elderly - The Lonely Heart Attack Club. Eager to give his elderly congregation a sense of purpose, he sets them a challenge that may be one step too far: to become World Record holders.

They may be old but there is plenty of life left in them, and Jack soon realises that they're not just customers; they’ve become friends.

Could his unintended compassion to his wrinkly client base also be the catalyst for romance?

A lot of heart

A romcom with a lot of heart. It reminds you to be kind and loving to the elderly with delightful story telling.

Uplifting, Touching & I Laughed Out Loud

I wish I could give this 10 stars. It sent a great message and I laughed out loud so many times I’m certain people thought I was daft. Can’t wait to read the next book! Thank you for the joy.

Made me laugh a lot.

I read non-fiction about 98% of the time, and was looking for something light and easy as a break, and this book definitely lived up to that. Pros: Not enough books involve a full cast of elderly characters so this one helped fill that void. And it was very funny. Cons: The narrator read too fast, but that’s easy to fix with Audible’s speed settings. And at times the book took an overly optimistic turn - it started out with a more realistic blend of events and personalities both good and bad, but kind of evolved in a “happily ever after” direction towards the second half. Still, quite enjoyable and worth the read.

Tender going to read again book

Very touching. Easy to listen to, and for one who emigrated to another country, it took me back home. Thank you. Now I’m going to buy the next book in the series.

warm, witty, wonderful

I love this author! The books have so many LOL moments which highlight the very human moments. The narrator's performance is perfect...I can't even imagine anyone else delivering the content so expertly.
