The London of Us

By: Clare Lydon

Narrated by: Lucy Price-Lewis

Length: 7 hrs and 11 mins

Publisher's Summary

Ever fallen in love with someone you shouldn’t have fallen in love with? Alice Di Santo has it all - everyone says so. Perfect boyfriend, great job, settled home life. But when she meets Rachel Cramer, all that changes. Because Rachel is everything Alice has never considered - and now cannot stop thinking about. 

This charming tale of coming out in your 30s sees Alice risk everything to go after what she wants, soon discovering she’s deserving of love - and especially this love, which takes her breath away. 

The fourth book in the London Romance Series features favourite characters from the previous three novels, and proves that falling in love is never scripted.

Tired

I wasn't all that impressed; the storyline was mediocre, and neither of the lead characters was particularly interesting or likable. Rachel was rather one dimensional, and Alice was weak, whiny, vacillating and spent far too much time wanting something or someone but lacking the will to actually do something about it. Tanya Grant is back in a supporting role and makes a better best friend than a lead character. This is likely the weakest of the five books in this series.

Entertaining series

After the dismal first book, the rest of series has been fun, a bit over the top, yet entertaining.

This series just keeps getting better

Lucy Price-Lewis does an outstanding job of bringing the characters in this fourth book of Clare Lydon's London series to life. Having listened to the previous books in this series the relationship that grows through this novel surprised me a bit and it is refreshing. The concept of open, honest and timely communication is examined in such a context that it is subtle but there none the less. The highly emotional, incredibly sensuous and sometimes humorous style that it is written in is engaging and fun. I would recommend that anybody who enjoys a good lesbian romance take the time for this entire series. This can be done as a standalone but it will be much more enjoyable with the building blocks of the three previous novels.

Exceptional!

Hooked me so quickly! The storyline of the entire universe is so compelling I couldn’t stop listening! I immediately downloaded the next in the series! The narration is excellent as always!

Fantastic series. My first LYDON experience

Highly recommend this series. Hilarious. Sweet. Best series I’ve listened to since French Kissing. Not as sexy but def heart warming. Rachael was my favorite character 😍.

A great toaster oven love story with laughs

I was worried about whether I would like this book in the series due to one of the main protagonists Alice realizing she has a major attraction and feelings for her friend Rachel while still being in a relationship with her super sweet and nearly perfect boyfriend Jake. Clare Lydon handled the situation beautifully and I lost no respect for the mains for handling the situation respect, honesty, and of course humor. Once again I laughed out loud while listening to the journey of Alice and Rachel peppered with their friends and family. Definitely my favorite of the series thus far and I highly recommend. Lucy Price-Lewis was superb in her narration.

Loved!

I absolutely loved this book! I loved the characters, the dialogue, and the narration. I absolutely loved Rachel!!!!!

Cute and sweet!

Enjoyed this book overall! The plot was realistic and happens every day. I liked the passion between the main characters and how they handled all their hurdles. Highly recommended.

Another good read fro Clare

Clare is a constant source of well written stories that you can sink your teeth into. The narration was spot on from Lucy!!

Best Yet in the Series

Excellently written and wonderfully narrated, The London of Us is the best book in the series thus far bringing together all of the characters and couples we’ve met and learned to love in the earlier books.

What appeals most to me about Clare Lydon’s many books is the wonderful people we get to meet - mostly lesbians! But the families are great too - supportive and fun parents, and brothers and sisters who have real relationships with each other.

The main lesbian in this book is struggling with who she is and what she wants from life. No matter our age, it is easy to identify with Alice’s unease. But this book never falls into the trap of familiar devices but instead presents us with realistic scenarios which could confuse and stress any of us. The tender and sexy scenes throughout the novel are always in good taste and remind us of the early days of finding one’s true love.

The London of Us is highly recommended and joins my collection of fabulous lesbian fiction.

brilliant

another fantastic book by Clare Lyndon the story was good the characters and the ending

Excellent!

This is the best book by Lydon. Bringing Meg into the story is great. Her new books should link all the characters into the books. I preferred the voice over in this book compared to the others.

always a winner.

I love the London series and this is no exception. The narrator brings the characters to life. I would definitely recommend this book and series.

Awesome series

I really love the London series. This book is great and the narrator made an excellent work. Already looking forward for the next book, can't wait!

Really well narrated romance

A stand alone story well written and well narrated but I highly recommend listening to the other three books in this series. I’ve both read and listened to all in this series and listening does give a different perspective. If you’re looking for a good romance book to listen to while relaxin on holiday, then this and the other three are a definite. Excellent.
