Story
Nobody would ever describe Scarlet Williams as a ray of sunshine, but that doesn’t mean she deserves the flood that wipes out her basement flat, making her temporarily homeless. Enter Joy Hudson, local mayor & sunshine specialist, who opens her house to flood refugees and ends up with Scarlet on her doorstep. Two more opposing characters you couldn’t fail to meet, and yet, somehow, they strike up a friendship. But when the rain stops and the sun comes out, could that friendship blossom into something more?

Story
For Addison Fairchild, success is a guarantee. Groomed since childhood to run a division of Fairchild Enterprises, she takes her birthright seriously. Maybe a little too seriously, if you ask her friends. But work is so much easier than the rest of her life. For Katie Cooper, money has never been important. That is, until her father gets dementia and needs full-time care. As the bills start to pile up, Katie takes a second job as a temporary personal assistant. Two minutes and one spilled cup of coffee later, she's sure she's not ready for Addison Fairchild.

Story
Top neurosurgeon Samantha Thomson needs to get married fast and is tightlipped as to why. And with over $200,000 on offer to tie the knot, no questions asked, cash-strapped ER nurse Hayden Perez isn't about to demand answers. The deal is only for a year of marriage, but Hayden's going into it knowing it will be a nightmare. Sam is complicated, rude, kind of cold, and someone Hayden barely tolerates at work, let alone wants to marry. The hardest part is that Hayden has to convince everyone around them that they're madly in love and that racing down the aisle is all they've ever wanted.

Story
Accountant and financial advisor Lacey Chamberlain doesn't consider herself a control freak. She's merely a planner-orderly, neat, and content in her tidy little life. When a marketing firm moves into the empty office next door, the loud-music-playing, stinky-food-ordering, kickball-in-the-hall staff make Lacey crazy. Marketing expert Alicia Wright is spontaneous, flies by the seat of her pants, and lives in the moment-all the things Lacey is not. She's also gorgeous, thoughtful, and seems determined to make Lacey like her. They say opposites attract, but for how long? And is that really a good idea?

Summary
A breakup. A mix-up. Will there be a makeup?

She's optimistic after a wildly successful first date, but far too much tequila and the ghosts of girlfriends past may drag her far below her lowest point. Can she win the race for romance without tripping?
London Calling is the first book in a series of lesbian romance novels. If you like punchy drama, wicked humor, and charming British characters, then you'll love Clare Lydon's hilarious debut novel.

Loved it so much !
‘London Calling’ is a funny, romantic, sexy book and is perfect as an audio book. The London setting is so vividly written and the characters feel like people I know. Jess is one of those women for whom things are destined to go exactly the way she doesn’t want them to. Humour and mishaps are the order of the day for her as she tries to get on with her life after a painful break up. When she is blown away by gorgeous optician Lucy she tries so hard to make it work. Exes coming out of the woodwork threaten to scupper all that. I love the whole cast of characters as they add to the feeling of family - be they blood relations or great friends. The narration by Emily Bennett works really well. I can’t imagine anyone else capturing the tone of the book with such skill. Clare Lydon excels here and I’m desperate to listen to the next in the London series.

Wonderfully Witty and Romantic
Clare Lydon is one of my favorite authors in the lesfic genre. Her books always bring a smile to my face and leave me feeling wistful and satisfied. This tale of Jess's return to London after a sordid heartbreak is the first in Lydon's London Series. We get to watch Jess stumble through getting back to a life in London as a single thirty-something looking for love. Jess meets up with Angela, Karen and Lucy and it is a fun read to discover where her happily ever after will take her.
I had already read London Calling so I was a little hesitant to listen to the audiobook because when I do that, the narrator's performance never lives up to what I have already imagined in my head. This was not the case here. If anything, the narration just brought more life to the incredibly witty dialogue that I have come to expect from Ms. Lydon. The production quality was good and Emily Bennet did a good job of creating a robust cast.
Note to buyers: The performance and sound quality of the sample that is provided here is mediocre at best. The actual audiobook sounds much better.

Good storyline and characters. It was touch and go for the main characters...lol, I just shook my head at times. I felt like this could have been a real life situation. The narrator was the absolute best, I love her voice! Overall great book, I'm starting to really enjoy this author! Highly recommended!

One of my favorite Clare Lydon books
I love this book so much! I'd read it previously on my Kindle, and it was just as good - if not better on audio. I started it up in the car with my wife in the passenger seat...and now, Clare Lydon officially has a new fan. If you enjoy sitcom-style humor, realistic characters and unfortunate incidents that make you cringe, I can't recommend this book highly enough!

Brilliant witty romance
I enjoy very much Clare Lydon style, her stories are always captivating, this story in particular is a very witty, funny, enjoyable romance, about all the misfortunes Jess goes through from the heartbreak moment and leaving Australia, I found very interesting how things went on as soon as she’s back home and how she felt out of tune on her return to London after being away for a while, finding a new love interest without being part of her plan, but a welcome thought at the end, and then again life turned out to be everything but boring for her, and can’t help but think how amusing it is her winding road through her brand new relationship while navigating and trying to avoid her ex-lovers that want her back, creating so many mishaps and misunderstandings between her and Lucy, but glad that at the end they found their way and happy ending. It’s a fun romance to hear. Loved the British accent, Emily Bennet does a great job with the voices, I won’t deny at first felt a little robotic but warms up nicely and ends up being fantastic, also the quality is grand.

Great Listen!
I read the actual book awhile ago so, since a new book in the series is coming out I needed to refresh as I didn’t quite remember everything and I like listening to stories on my runs. I’m very glad I did as I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed this book the first time around. Jess was frustrating at times with her decision making or lack there of but I loved her chemistry with Lucy l, friends and family. I liked the narrater as well. Some of my favorite books have excellent narrators but they have an American accent. Nothing against that as I’m American but it kind of throws yo off. It was nice hearing a British accent. Can’t wait to listen to the rest of the series!

Wonderful romp through romance
Despite the mishaps and missteps that the main character lives through, the guaranteed happy ending does not disappoint. Well drawn and likable characters make this story delectable and there is enough tension and mystery to keep you guessing too. Clare Lyndon writes another London romance with a bit of international travel included. Jess and her family are where we all want to be - living with love in London.

Mediocre,gratuitous
This was predictable, basic and random graphic descriptions of sexual encounters that were unnecessary to the story. The characters were interesting, however the dialog was unimaginative. Use of “Ha ha” became at first annoying, then had me wishing I had counted them all or had incorporated it into drinking game it was used so much. Meh.
