The London setting is so vividly written and the characters feel like people I know. Jess is one of those women for whom things are destined to go exactly the way she doesn’t want them to. Humour and mishaps are the order of the day for her as she tries to get on with her life after a painful break up. When she is blown away by gorgeous optician Lucy she tries so hard to make it work. Exes coming out of the woodwork threaten to scupper all that. I love the whole cast of characters as they add to the feeling of family - be they blood relations or great friends. The narration by Emily Bennett works really well. I can’t imagine anyone else capturing the tone of the book with such skill. Clare Lydon excels here and I’m desperate to listen to the next in the London series. ...more

Alex is an archaeologist and is back home for a well earned break. Having bought an old Victorian house in Niagara Falls for $1, she plans to remodel and flip it quickly for a significant profit. She doesn’t count on a few houseguests in the form of ghost and a fascinating history behind it all. Local librarian Trudy helps her find out more about the house and in the process they become more than just friends. I liked Alex a lot as she was funny, caring, inquisitive and in need of the love of a good woman. Trudy was the perfect partner for her as she delved into the ghostly mystery and their encounters were very sexy. There were quite a few surprises that I didn’t see coming. The Niagara Falls setting was wonderful and finding out about Alex’s past through interactions with her sister and cute nephew really added another layer. The narration by TJ Richards was spot on. She has a lovely, natural style that made it such a pleasure to listen to. ...more
When the town floods and Scarlett's flat is deluged by water she ends up homeless and in despair. Life hasn't been great for her for a while but this When the town floods and Scarlett's flat is deluged by water she ends up homeless and in despair. Life hasn't been great for her for a while but this is the final straw. She ends up living in the house of the local mayor Joy, a closeted lesbian, while her home gets dried out. Their attraction is powerful and being together brings huge changes to both of their lives. Can they ever be more than friends? Will love win out? Clare Lydon writes the most beautiful love stories, filled with humour, wit and romance. She is also the most skilled creator of the hottest sex scenes imaginable. One in particular is epic and hearing it read out in the sultry tones of Gabrielle Baker made it even better. This was a tale of hope and the realisation that sometimes what appears to be the worst day of your life might turn out to be the best. I adored this audio book and highly recommend it. ...more
