About this listen

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....

This Charming Man

This is a brilliant book . Marian Keyes has incredible talent , her character descriptions are so detailed that for a long time after you finish reading the book you find yourself thinking of the people in her story , she makes them very real. The story keeps you guessing , very unpredictable , funny and worth while listening to.

Keyes at her best!

I'm an avid Keyes fan, and this book, in my opinion is one of her best! It's well narrated, and laugh out loud funny, but also has a 'keep you guessing' element. If you like Marion Keyes, then don't hesitate in getting this download!

Very entertaining

Really enjoyed this book, very funny but equally harrowing. Would definitely recommend this audio book.

An absolute delight

I read this book some time ago and saw in as audiobook and just couldn't resist it. It was read beautifully and I was totally captivated. Have now started referring to things/people as rough as badger's arse and some places I go to as a total kip of a place. This book is the total opposite of a kip of a book.

Wonderful

I laughed and cried. The storyline was superb and witty . The narrator could not have been better. I’m going to re-listen immediately!

Excellent

Incredible book! Although if you are a victim of domestic violence / narcissistic abuse you might find yourself re-triggered.

Way too long

Some really funny laugh out loud sections but the whole story could have been told in half the time. It really dragged, I actually moved from Kindle to Audible as it dragged so much but needed to read it for my book club. The writing style for the Lola sections was awful to read, so annoying. Funny though but won't read another by her

Really entertaining

Despite reading some criticism of this in the reviews, I decided to give it a try as it was on offer. It’s a brilliant listen…funny yet sometimes quite harrowing . The main characters are all easy to like, and it’s a great few hours of entertainment.

To begin with I didn’t like the short way the character spoke but she is only one of four and she really grew on me 😊
