Suddenly You

By: Lisa Kleypas

Narrated by: Beverley A. Crick

Length: 9 hrs and 12 mins

Publisher's summary

She was unmarried, untouched, and almost 30, but novelist Amanda Briars wasn't about to greet her next birthday without making love to a man. When he appeared at her door, she believed he was her gift to herself, hired for one night of passion. Unforgettably handsome, irresistibly virile, he tempted her in ways she never thought possible . . . but something stopped him from completely fulfilling her dream.

Jack Delvin's determination to possess Amanda became greater when she discovered his true identity. But gently-bred Amanda craved respectability more than she admitted, while Jack, the cast-off son of a nobleman and London's most notorious businessman, refused to live by society's rules. Yet when fate conspired for them to marry, their worlds collided with a passionate force neither had expected . . . but both soon craved.

Contains mature themes.

Finally!

I have been waiting for years for an audio version of one of my favorite Lisa Kleypas novels! Great, intelligent romance with great dialogue and interesting characters and good performance as well! Thanks Audible!

Fell in love with the characters...and the story.

I've read every one of LK's books....many many times. This one took a couple tries to get into. Beverly Crick's voice as a story teller is a bit maudlin for me. BUT her character voices in this book were amazingly well done. Jack's voice was especially appealing to me. LK is a very talented author who draws readers/listeners into the story and holds us there. Thank you, LK....and thank you Beverley Crick. I can't wait for the next collaboration of these two talented ladies.

Love the book, not that thrilled with the narrator

Have been waiting, hoping, crossing my fingers that this Lisa Kleypas title would finally be available from Audible. It's one of my favorites of Lisa's books - and that's saying a lot. But could not but notice how much better it would have been if narrated by Rosalyn Landor or Mary Jane Wells - they bring her books to life in the best possible way. Know this was recorded years ago, but the difference in what's available now and this older version was the only drawback to this wonderful story. If it had been narrated by either of these fantastic actresses, it would have been five stars across the board.

Just very thankful it's now available thru Audible - thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Short and Sweet

The Narrator was fantastic! all in all it was a cute short book. kept my interest so thats always a plus!

this was a favorite book of mine

And now that I've heard the audio ,it's a favorite all over again ! beautiful job !❤❤❤

Great story, brutal narration

The story is great, but the narration makes it nearly unlistenable. The narrator uses a really bad Irish accent while sounding like Kermit the frog. She also has weird inflection points. Overall, I wish this was read by Mary Jane Wells or Rosalyn Lindor because it's one of my favorite Lisa Kleypas books.

Disappointing

I was relieved to learn that despite the 2018 production date, Suddenly You was a much earlier work than the series that includes Marrying Winterbourne. The latter, including the reader/performer Jane Wells, drew me to seek out Klaypas’ work. They were well crafted and lovely to listen to.
Suddenly You has a decent plot but the telling lacks any of the subtlety of the later series and reads more like many he said/she said romances that revolve around delivering hot sex scenes.
Maybe the reader was restricted by this, but the Irish accent of the male lead was a bit forced and should have been no more than a lilt.
Hopefully I can expect Klaypas’ later books to be more similar to what drew me to her???

Good story ...

This was a good story to pass the time with. However there were a couple moments where I wanted to reach in the story and smack Amanda for being an idiot. Also wasn't a fan of how jack dealt with the issues, have sex with her until she sees it his way.

Enjoyable and Fun!

It was a excellent book, comical, hot and realistic! Would recommend this book to anyone.

Too graphic

This was too graphic for my taste and those scenes happened quite a bit. I used to like this author but I will avoid her in the future.
