New York Times best-selling author Lisa Kleypas delivers a scintillating tale of an unconventional beauty who finds passion with the spy who can't resist her.

A woman who defies her time

Dr. Garrett Gibson, the only female physician in England, is as daring and independent as any man - why not take her pleasures like one? Yet she has never been tempted to embark on an affair - until now. Ethan Ransom, a former detective for Scotland Yard, is as gallant as he is secretive, a rumored assassin whose true loyalties are a mystery. For one exhilarating night, they give in to their potent attraction before becoming strangers again.

A man who breaks every rule

As a Ravenel by-blow spurned by his father, Ethan has little interest in polite society, yet he is captivated by the bold and beautiful Garrett. Despite their vow to resist each other after that sublime night, she is soon drawn into his most dangerous assignment yet. When the mission goes wrong, it will take all of Garrett's skill and courage to save him. As they face the menace of a treacherous government plot, Ethan is willing to take any risk for the love of the most extraordinary woman he's ever known.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

I was so excited to get my paws on Garrett and Ethan ... and their story was absolutely lovely. What appealed most to me was that they didn't go out of their way to hide their mutual feelings.

Although, I truly enjoyed the story I have to admit that Mary Jane Wells adds a whole layer for awesome to this book. She brings it the story to life.

Mary Jane Wells ... makes this great

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this audiobook to any fan of the author because Mary Jane Wells did such a superior job of narrating/performing the story. There are several different characters and 19th century dialects ranging from educated Londoner to the hero's commoner/Irish accent, and even she does the Welsh accent well. It makes it such a pleasure to listen to!

What other book might you compare Hello Stranger to and why?

This one is as great as all Kleypas' work, and I'm a big fan. They are a great escape, but still feel like literature, and I learn a little more from every one.

Really great performance adds to story

It is hard to believe that I have not read a book by Lisa Kleypas that I have not liked, but it's true. Since the summer, which is when I discovered her books, I have read almost every book she has written, with the exception of the very early books, which are impossible to find as audio books. I love the audio books because it gives me the flexibility to do other things while listening to the book, but mainly I love her narrators! They really do make the books so interesting. I highly recommend reading her books, but make sure you have a series guide so you are reading them all in order. At first I did not realize that these were series and read a couple out of order. I started out with the historical novels (Wallflowers), which is what I recommend.

Loved this book!

I loved the Wallflower series and finding the Ravenal series has been such a bonus. I look forward to reading all the books in this series. So entertaining!

Such an enjoyable story!

This is truly one of the best romance novels I’ve read/listened to ever — and I’ve read/listened to many in my 58 years. Highly recommended!

One of the Best

This is an intense love story. Lots of drama. When you are independent, unique, and content to be alone, is that all there is?

Lucky doctor.

I loved this book. The storyline is very different from the other ravenell books, but it's definitely worth the credit!

best book of the series

The writing is excellent as always. I love the hero so much that I broke down and cried. That's rare these days, so keep tissues handy.

The Writing Is Beautiful

Garret and Ethan are amazing together. Lisa Kleypas is just absolutely AMAZING! I wish there were 20 more Ravenel family members! It was sexy, interesting, and funny. West Ravenel almost stole the show. Highly recommend the entire series but read the Wallflower series first then the Ravenel Series you will not regret it.

The Ravenels is a series to savor!
