Publisher's Summary

Lola has every reason to be interested in who Paddy de Courcy is marrying - because although she's his girlfriend, she definitely isn't the bride. Heartbroken, she flees the city for a cottage by the sea. But will her retreat prove as idyllic as she hopes?

Not if journalist Grace has anything to do with it. Grace knew Paddy a long time ago. But why can't she forget him? Grace's sister, Marnie, might have the answer but she also has issues with the past. Her family is wonderful but they can't take away memories of her first love: a certain Paddy de Courcy. What will it take for Marnie to be able to move on?

And what of the future Mrs de Courcy? Alicia is determined to be the perfect politician's wife. But does she know the real Paddy de Courcy?

Four very different women. One awfully charming man. And the dark secret that binds them all...

    Story
    "Amazing, thoroughly brilliant."

    Absolutely amazing stuff. I could hardly believe how much I enjoyed this book. The narration was lively and enjoyable (adorable accents) and the story itself was brilliant. I really do enjoy Marian Keyes' portrayal of strong, smart and yet flawed women. I think that much of her brilliance lies in her ability to pull her reader in with humour, and then deliver her sucker punch. I also liked that it was a big fat long unabridged book - totally creditworthy! :)

    Story
    "Hard to get into"
    What would have made This Charming Man better?

    The story lost me after chapter one.


    What was most disappointing about Marian Keyes’s story?

    Seemed all over the place listened to,three chapters and gave up.


    How did the narrator detract from the book?

    Narration not the best


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    No


    Any additional comments?

    Her books generally read better, but this one did not translate to audible at all. Quite a disappointment to say the least.

    Story
    "Love the narrator"
    Would you listen to This Charming Man again? Why?

    The narrator really brings the story to life, she is great.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of This Charming Man?

    There are many 'laugh out loud' moments that I really enjoyed, also many moments of discomfort as more difficult subjects are discussed. The narrator did a great job of them all.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    Lots of the scenes that Lola is in. I like, "He's got his own look, and he's working it". Also loved Grace.


    If you could rename This Charming Man, what would you call it?

    I wouldn't

    "Please give me a reason to keep reading this!"
    Would you try another book from Marian Keyes and/or Caroline Lennon?

    I am only a few hours into Lola's story, and I can't take it anymore! Love the way it is versed, and the narrator is fantastic, but I can't stomach one more screw-up by the character. Flawed is one thing, but predictable mishaps are another - and no pride at all! No male character would ever be written this way.Please, if it gets better, let me know!!! I have over 20 hours left on this book.

    "Fantastic listen!"

    This book is a great listen. The writing really gets you involved in the characters, and leaves you wanting more. Marian takes you into some serious issues while keeping it light enough to not dishearten the reader. Fantastic!
