    Anything But Easy

    About this audiobook

    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 world view, 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.

      Was Kira/Kiki a bit much? Like, WAY a bit much?! Especially considering that she's a freaking Dr?!
      Uh, yeah.

      Did Dream Boat Barclay fall WAY off his pedestal at one point, and never convincingly come all the way back from the tumble?
      Yeppppp.

      Did I actually feel more convincing chemistry between the h and at least two other characters, one of which was a gay man?
      Actually, yes.

      BUT DID I STILL LOVE THIS BOOK?!?!
      YES, YES I DID.

      Just....go with it. Suspend that disbelief, buy into the whole premise, and just enjoy the ride. Because the author takes the reader on a rollicking rollercoaster with this one, folks. And ultimately, it's a lot of fun.

      Not even a week into the 2023, and Susie Tate is already a STRONG contender for "favorite new-to-me author of the year". I can't WAIT for "Limits" to come out on audio.

      I love all of Susie Tate’s books - this one is really nicely read - I am crossing all my fingers and toes that the others are made into audio books as well!!
