awful writing and story line. i found myself forcing myself to finish the book when i should have just stopped.

Wanted so much to love this book. It had everything going for it...except the heroine totally killed the vibe with her over-the-topness... The behaviour didn't fit the job - not saying all doctors have to be stuffy, but to get to the point of being a registrar, you'd expect a person to be less immature and less like a teenager on whatever magic thing she might be smoking... Just, too much too often, which killed the joy for me

I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher through netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This book is well written and the characters are described well. This romance is between a sexual health doctor and a politician. This book will make you laugh and smile. I absolutely adored Kira, Mark, and Barclay Lucas characters. This is the third book in this series. I'd recommend reading the first two books before this one to get to know the characters. Overall I did enjoy this book. This ebook is in stores for $2.99 (USD).

I dnfed this book because the first few pages gave off weird vibes. There a a part where the character was glorifying another Tory character and saying weird bigoted things. Definitely do not recommend

Anything but Easy by Susie Tate

Dr Kira Murphy who on first appearance is a bit of a hippy flake but who is a brilliant specialist in sexually transmitted diseases in particular HIV. Her unconventional attitude to the world at large gains her many loyal friends but she has an underlying problem. She is struggling to cope with but can’t tell any of her friends . Her current bone melting crush is the sexy shining light of the Conservative party Mr Barclay Lucas . Henry is a patient handed over to her by her boss as he is getting worse as he isn’t taking his meds so she uses her unusual approach with people to get him to realise how much more damage he is doing when he could be getting better and it is working. Henry starts to take his meds as he should. Suddenly the gorgeous Barclay comes to see her to try to get her to treat Henry privately to which she refuses as she doesn’t do private on principle but says she will she him as his friend so visits him at his home then the fun begins for Kira and Barclay !

A beautifully written book full of humour, sadness , a few gut wrenching moments and absolutely fabulous wacky characters.

Don’t miss this can’t put down book which shows you can’t always judge a book by its cover which is the same for people.

This was a dnf for me. I wasn’t expecting way more from it and it was super slow and jot my thing. I hope to be able to pick it back up in the future but we’ll see

I haven't read anything by this author before, but I had a lot of fun reading this book. The characters were unique and interesting. Barclay and Kira were polar opposites, which greatly contributed to the fun and humor of the story. The banter between them was witty and entertaining and had me laughing out loud at times. There were some serious parts as well, but mostly just a lot of fun. Quite entertaining- I'm glad to have had the opportunity to read!

I received a complimentary copy from Netgalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.

That was so good. Some people have found the leading lady annoying but I loved her self confidence and no bullshit attitude.
The 3rd act conflict worked for me.

Loved this book. 4 stars

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an eArc of this book.

I'm a little conflicted about this book. I enjoyed reading it as the plot was okay and the author's writing is great but I had problem with characters. I'm not sure if I really like the main character, Kira. Sometimes she was hilarious but sometimes I was really annoyed with her behavior. I usually like quirky characters but time something didn't click with me.

Hilarious, engaging and still deep, with important topics covered, this book came a bit from the left field. I didn't expect to like it, I don't even know why, but it's grown on me. i like how different outr main characters were, but the way they connected made also sense. They bickered, had misunderstandings, but the HEA was waiting to happen.

I would recommend it if you're looking for opposites attract and grumpy-sunshine pairing tropes!

Very funny laid back romance novel. I really enjoyed this book from beginning till the end. I loved Kira's character. She was very energetic, uplifting, and hilarious. Barclay and Kira are total opposites but there is a connection between the two. However, there are obstacles in the way such as Barclay's political status. Will these two be able to be together or will they realize they are too different to make their relationship work? I highly recommend this book to romantic comedy book lovers.

Story: 4.5 ⭐️
Steam: 3/6🔥

I actually really enjoyed this book. We love a good grumpy/sunshine troupe and this romcom definitely delivered. At first I felt like Kiera was a bit much but over the course of the book I just absolutely fell in love with her. She’s such a bright light and I just love her. I think the author did a great job of building up that love and really showing why everyone in her life just loved her so much. I also really loved Barkley. He made me mad a few times but he made up for it. The story overall was fun and interesting. It was emotional and funny. It was a great mix of emotions!


I honestly think this cover is unfortunately not properly representing the story. I would not have picked this up for the cover but I’m so glad I read it.

Sadly the book fell flat to me, the characters were meh and boring. The story was missing something, i don`t really know what. But i didn`t care about the story, or find it funny as i had hoped.

i loved how easy to read this is, and its fun! but i wouldn't recommend this one because there were certain things that happened and were portrayed that was...iffy about.

I didn't realize this was a British book when I first started it. I normally don't like them because my sense of humor never goes with the author. But this book was different. I have to say I enjoyed it.
I found this book to be LOL. I may not have always liked Kira though, but it's probably because at times she reminded me of some people that I know.
The fact that the author is a real life Dr. made the information in the book accurate. The stunning wit and dialogue made this book enjoyable.

Thank you to NetGalley for the free book in exchange for an honest review.

The first half was really good but the heroine was way too much rainbow and sunshine for me while the hero is just a typical broody guy. Also, the action hero took towards the end did not make sense, and I hope there was more groveling.

This was a cute fun read. I enjoyed this book. I thought the main characters were well developed and the chemistry was alive between them.

Interesting characters, romance and laugh out loud moments. All in all an entertaining read. A nice change to my usual choice and well worth delving in to.
