Love in the Cupboard reminded me of the great Tom Sharpe. Kenneth Benn, Amazon

When Father Thomas Sheridan encounters Faith in a dark cupboard, he believes he's found his future wife. But Tom isn't brave enough to reveal his true identity...

When Faith meets Tom in the office kitchenette, she can't stand him. No matter, she's fallen for the mysterious man she met in the cupboard and can't wait to meet him again. Oh, and she's got a new rule: one lie and he's out. She's not getting duped again!

But everyone loves Tom. Her best friend, her chronically ill sister-who's on the lookout for a man herself. Even gay neighbours Luke and Gavin-who've fallen out over Luke wanting a baby. They urge Faith to give Tom a chance. But how can she have strong feelings for two men?

Even worse, how will she react when she discovers that Tom is the man in the cupboard-and, heaven forbid, a Catholic priest?
