Prime Time Love: A funny romantic comedy that will have you laughing out loud (Abigail Love Book 1) Kindle Edition
Can a girl fall for a guy if his name sounds like a mechanically operated sex toy?
Abigail Love and her new cameraman, Will, were in the same class at school. Ten years later they find themselves working for the same company, but at first, neither can remember who the other one is. As they start to date, what happens when they find out, especially when Will realises that it was Abigail who'd teased him into early therapy?
This laugh out loud romantic comedy is perfect for fans of Nick Spalding, Matt Dunn and Tracy Boom.
"Brit comedy at its best."
Mrs. L. A. Stone, Amazon.com
“Prime Time Love is another hilarious sarcastic book from the brilliant mind of David Blake.”
Ldub, Amazon.com
"Great, just like all of his other works have been. I look forward to additional books by him."
Carol Lampert, Amazon.com
"Everything about this book is hilarious. If you haven't read any of David Blake's previous books, you don't really have to in order to enjoy this one; however, I guarantee that once you do read it, you'll be eagerly seeking out the rest of his work. He has such a dry wit and outrageous sense of humor that you'll find yourself laughing out loud at some of the farcical shenanigans that take place almost non-stop throughout the book. This book came at just the right time when I needed a "pick-me-up" and was guaranteed to put a smile on my face and lighten my mood each time I picked it up. If you haven't already, you need to discover this gem of an author. There are far too few books like this out there, so we need to cherish this one."
DTChantel, Amazon.com
"David Blake is still delivering laughs in the British manner. Apologetic, diffident thoroughly British humor in ridiculous situations is his stock in trade. Old characters and new ones interact in a Portsmouth based story featuring Abigail Love, a You Tube TV News reporter who is not bothered overmuch by factual reporting. Her growing attraction to Will Wankett, a shy, introverted young man with an iPhone whose video capabilities he finds paid work with, is hampered by a past acquaintance between the two as children. Inspector Capstan, Sgt. Dewbush, and Morose all make appearances of various levels, with Morose going through multiple career challenges in a new life. Spinning off current events such as Brexit and terrorist bombings, the two main characters jump from one event to the next. Thoroughly fun!"
Georgia Brousseau, Amazon.com
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
David Blake is the author of the new series of laugh out loud Abigail Love books. This first one is a funny British romantic office comedy that is basically a love story, sort of. It’s also been described as chic lit, but it’s probably not. However, people are saying that it is one of the best rom com books that they’ve ever read, although probably not as good as those written by Nick Spalding, or anyone else for that matter. He’s also written a series of almost funny books about Inspector Capstan that form the back story to this new series.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2017This is the second book I’ve read by this author now and they’ve both been fun, and chock-full of riotous laughs. Not so much zingy one-liners coming at you as great situational humor.
The author excels at depicting characters who are easy to identify with in their desperation to achieve their ends, and out of that desperation comes the most outlandish behavior and comical circumstances. Take our bad guy. “If it weren’t for him turning from Police Chief Inspector, to mass murderer, to escaped convict, to criminal mastermind, to invading insurgent, I doubt we’d have had the success we’ve had so far.” Now that’s one hell of a character arc that might just make Hannibal Lecter of Silence of the Lambs fame feel personality deprived and lacking in a sense of direction. But he’s not even the character I’m referring to. The one doing the talking, the one the quote is excerpted from is the head of the news show, desperate to fill the air time now that the bad guy of the century that has been holding everyone enthralled is no longer available to generate headlines. Now you can just imagine what the newsroom chief will do to fill that void. Though not to worry, turns out news of the bad guy’s death is greatly exaggerated, and you can just imagine what extremes our bad guy will go to in order to stay out of prison after just escaping. He’s yet another very desperate, determined man. The book is full of these characters who will simply not be deterred from their objectives. At any costs.
Then there’s the matter of our budding heroine who will do anything, and I do mean anything for a news story, determined to make her mark in the viciously competitive youtube market where you’re either getting a billion hits or you’re one of infinitely many nobodies. And she’s determined not to be a nobody. So pointing a camera at a comatose patient while he grants her a very quote-worthy interview is no problem. All that takes is sticking the microphone in front of his mouth so the camera can’t tell his lips aren’t moving and the rest involves sending the script to the sound effects guy. It’s outlandish behavior, but it makes perfect sense coming from a newsgirl so bent on getting ahead in the industry that she’ll do whatever it takes.
I’ll leave it to the reader to decide what the author’s actual theme is, but I couldn’t help but see the social satire and profundity about the human condition as it is today radiating from every page in glorious Technicolor. Far too many of us have far too unreasonable expectations for ourselves and one another in a globally competitive economy that drives everyone sooner or later to this kind of insanity. Maybe Blake didn’t mean to argue this theme, but it’s a major takeaway all the same. So, if you like to avoid reflecting on the human condition whenever you can because it involves too much deep thinking, you’d just rather laugh away your problems, congrats, you’ve finally found a book and an author who will make reflecting on the human condition far easier than you think, all while keeping you sane by keeping you laughing. You just might be the last sane person on earth, though, if the medicine takes.
I should probably mention, for those whom it might concern, that in addition to being a comedic-thriller, this is also a romance. And the dynamic between the newswoman and the cameraman is subject to the same laws of the rest of this twisted universe. So have fun with that.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2017This was an okay read. I didn’t think it was very funny or romantic, as it stated, and that was what I was looking for. The story was mediocre, and characters not very likable. Not any that I’d want to follow.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2018Lots of laughs in this one. Abigail manages some unexpectedly good news stories in this one. It definitely lightens your mood
- Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2017I don't like to write reviews that are not positive but I felt this book was so bad I could not finish it, actually, not even close to finishing it. Don't bother with this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE COMMA
Astounding! There is nary a sentence in this novel that escapes comma faults. The author or editor simply sprinkled commas over the text and let them fall where they may. I spent an enormous amount of time highlighting these glitches for the record. The result was not a sprinkling but a deluge! What a way to destroy what could have been a great read. To the author: invest in a competent proofreader.

4.0 out of 5 stars A book to make you laugh at UK life today
Very amusing and just the thing to read if you're feeling under the weather. Totally unbelievable story line but so full of acute observations on life in the UK and so readable, that you forgive the plot and just settle back to enjoy the humour and insights into current events and social media.
- SashaReviewed in Australia on January 25, 2019
2.0 out of 5 stars Weird story, not funny, repetitive gags
This book took a long time to finish. I kept hoping it would achieve the accolade of laugh out loud as described. Didn’t even get a chuckle. I kept waiting for the humour. The story line was eccentric and unbelievable ... I suppose that was the funny bit. The worst was the repetitive phrase to do with the character’s name ... I lost count as to how many times reference was made to blanket and the innuendo rhyming surname. I was looking for a funny book to read, but I got a bizarre story line that was simplistic in its delivery. The romantic comedy bit was superficial and totally predictable. Sorry I spent the time finishing it. Should have dumped it while I had the chance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this book now if you want to laugh again
I loved this.
It was so funny, I haven't laughed at a story in ages.
I found it hard to put it down,especially at night when I would be laughing out loud and my husband thought something had happened luckily he went back to sleep quickly so I could get on reading.
The style of writing reminds me of "BLOT ON THE LANDSCAPE".
