Kira Murphy 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 a the current Minister of State for Business, Energy and Clean Growth
. . . she’s weird and lovable in equal measure.
Barclay Lucas has made it into the cabinet with single-minded determination, sheer grit, and serious conservatism. He’s always in control. But when his brother is diagnosed with HIV, and a crazy, pink-haired, tiny dynamo turns his life upside-down, control for Barclay is a thing of the past.
Anything but Easy is an opposites attract, full-length romantic comedy.
ANYTHING BUT EASY is a romance novel, so of course our
protagonists are going to become a couple, but when hippy-child and carefree Dr.
Kira Murphy crosses paths with burdened-by-responsibility Barclay Lucas, you do
wonder how such diverse and solid personalities will get there. And we do get
there. Susie Tate has brought us another terrific read with this story of an
NHS doctor whose light-heartedness clashes with an uptight Tory politician.
The attraction between Kira and Barclay is certainly electric
yet between those hot-n-heavy moments, there was plenty of communication. The fought,
bickered, insulted and even hurt one another but each interaction brought a
better understanding between them.
There are plenty of shenanigans; some made me laugh, some
had me wanting to take a Kira break – hey, I’m an introvert and Kira is an
exhausting character – but I was always entertained.
Several characters from previous Tate books also make an
appearance. Anything But Easy is book three in the Beg. Borrow or Steal series
but it can be read as a standalone story.
I typically stay away from romance books featuring
politicians – they’re not my thing – but here I am recommending this story by a
hugely talented romance book author.
I'm a general practitioner in Dorset. Things have been a
little crazy in the NHS of late for both me and my husband (also a
doctor working in anaesthetics). Reading and writing has kept
me sane. I am so grateful to all my fab readers and reviewers
for their ongoing support - it really has meant the world to me.
When I'm not working or writing I'm looking after my four scrummy little boys (well, one might not be so little but it's the mental age that counts!).
