Anything But Easy

By: Susie Tate

Narrated by: Claire Storey, Dan Lee

Kira Murphy is a liability, always has been. She might be small, but her personality and heart are not: a sexual health doctor with a foul mouth, pink streaks in her hair, a bizarre worldview, a reputation for being "pathologically social", and a huge crush on the current minister of state for business, energy, and clean growth...she’s weird and lovable in equal measure.

The last thing Barclay Lucas needs is a liability. He’s made it into the cabinet with single-minded determination, sheer grit, and serious conservatism. But then a crazy, pink-haired, tiny dynamo turns his life upside-down and serious for Barclay is a thing of the past.

But he’s never liked feeling out of control - something he experiences with Kira on a daily basis. So he pushes her away when she needs him the most, and unfortunately for him she retreats at head-spinning speed. It’s only then he realizes that although being with Kira is anything but easy, the grey, boring alternative is far worse. He’ll have to use all his hard-earned political negotiating and maneuvering skills to get her back. Because after being dragged from black and white into full Technicolor with Kira, Barclay knows that, however serious and worthy his life is, he can’t live it without her.

Kira and Barclay

I love this story so much! I've read the ebook a few times and was excited to listen to the audio. Kira's character is amazing, funny, and perfect for Barclay even though he doesn't realize it. I love the narrators for this audio and definitely recommend.

I LOVED this book

Susie Tate is a fairly new author to me and I’m listening to a lot of her books right now. But I thought this one was amazing. She addressed serious topics but the book wasn’t heavy. Her writing was hilarious, and the female narrator was spectacular in her delivery of the clever dialogue. The male narrator was also great. I never give 5 stars, but this is so worth a listen.

Wonderful story

Susie Tate's books are wonderful to read and listen to. Her characters are well-developed and loveable. Editing is not a problem, and medical details are accurate. There are different actors in this book than in the last book but these are excellent as well.

good enough to remember to review

this was my first story by this author but I've added her to me favorites. A larger than life free spirit who cares about her patients and is a very capable doctor, a stodgy right-wing politician determined to help his country's energy issues - match made in hell? well, thanks to friends and family, they both adjust to the other and come out perfect. There's a lot of humor, vintage clothes, drama, and fights. I loved it!

Didn’t want it to end

Loved it! Finally found an author that can write a truly great romance book. Filled with fascinating personalities in realistic life experiences. When I got to the epilogue, I went back to the last chapter and listened again until the very end. Just didn’t want it to end. Yes, there was lovemaking but it didn’t take over every other chapter and suffocate the storyline. I crave the stories about people and what they go through to find a good relationship and what they do to keep it. This author is great at capturing all of it. Can’t wait to listen to more of her books.
