Publisher's summary

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.

Terrific!

This is a terrific story that involves two unique people, plenty of intrigue, and a romance with heat to spare. The narrator did a wonderful job with each voice and gave life to this tale. I HIGHLY recommend it!

Sooo Romantic

I enjoyed this story from start to finish. There were twist and turns that just added that much more. Lisa is a wonderful writer. I loved the accent of the narrator too. It added to the story.

Slow start, strong ending

The firs half was so slow, it took me awhile to get through it but after chapter 10 I couldn't put it down. Loved the narrator

Perfection

If you could sum up Hello Stranger in three words, what would they be?

Romantic, Exciting, Mature

What was one of the most memorable moments of Hello Stranger?

When the hero told the heroine that he loved her and how he expressed himself. Even one of the secondary characters (West) says how he loved what was said.
This was an exciting, well written and intelligent novel.

What does Mary Jane Wells bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She performs the book and not just reads the words. I love how she uses her voice to make you feelike you are right there with the couple. I can tell she really enjoyed reading this book and liked the characters.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

what happends when 2 hearts open to love

Any additional comments?

I love Lisa Kleypas. I can't wait for her next book, but understand that it takes time to write this well and not just churn out something awful. Her writing is such high quality.
I liked Dr. Gibson, and this book does justice to her and other women that travel a difficult road to realize their dreams. She did not make her do stupid things that were contrary to her intelligence which is a refreshing change.
I hated this book to end, but will be rereading it again soon.
