Suddenly You

De: Lisa Kleypas

Narrado por: Beverley A. Crick

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!!!

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.

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 !❤❤❤

A whole lot of love!!!

So good! I just loved it the whole way through! It covered so many feelings and subjects. Could not put down

Too much sex

I know some people won’t feel this way but there was so much sex it kind of cut into the story. If that’s what you’re looking for you’ll enjoy the book I prefer the story with just a little bit of sex

Now this is how you write a romance story!

I loved the characters, Jack and Amanda. I was able to visualize the story very easily. I must say I’ve become a fan of Lisa Kleypas’s work. I would recommend “Suddenly You” to anyone that loves a good 5 Star romance book.

Enemies-to-lovers romance romance!

Amanda Briars is a soon to be 30 year old author. She's ready to take charge of her life and realizes she's ready to take on a lover or at least lose her virginity. That's where we meet Jack Devlin. He approaches Amanda's door one night ready and willing to give her whatever it is that she needs. Amanda thinks that she'll never see him again...

Turns out that Jack Devlin is a publisher and he's just bought the rights to Amanda's newest book! Amanda is outraged and not at all happy that she's already been very well (ahem) acquainted with Devlin.

I have to say that I truly enjoyed the first half of Suddenly You . I loved the witty banter and sexual tension between Jack and Amanda. But the last half of the book dragged for me and I wasn't really feeling the story line.

Audiobook

Story: 3
Narration: 4
Overall: 3

This was the first audiobook that I listened to narrated by Beverly Crick, but I really enjoyed it! Beverly did a wonderful job portraying both Amanda and Jack. Her Irish accent was perfect when Jack was speaking (love the Gaelic words sprinkled throughout the book). I would definitely pick up another book that was narrated by Beverly Crick.
