About this listen
Lambda Literary Award finalist for lesbian romance.
Love or money? Follow the head or heart? Pia and Cate seem to be flip sides of a coin. But when they meet they definitely have that certain something, and these questions aren't so simple after a night like theirs.
Pia Benitez-Smith has her head in the clouds of ideals and romance. She's a photojournalist out to prove herself with her compassionate eye and although not exactly accident prone, most days trouble seems to find her. On one such day, she literally falls into the arms of the beautiful Cate. Elegant, intriguing and classy, Cate is Pia's polar opposite. When the two dispute the importance of love versus money, Cate is adamant that her perfect night will always be an expensive one. Working class Pia can't resist the challenge and with the assistance of a beguiling summer night in London, she begins to enchant her new friend.
An irresistible couple, a charismatic city, a priceless supporting cast - That Certain Something is a sparkling romcom from Goldie award winner Clare Ashton.

Beautifully romantic
This is so sweet and has two of the most adorable main characters. They are so different from each other, but seem to click beautifully. Pia is a romantic, whilst Cate thinks you need to spend to make a date special. Can Pia show Cate that love doesn’t need to cost?
I loved the London setting and seeing little pockets of the city through Pia and Cate’s eyes. This is a story to make the reader swoon. I enjoyed the narration by Jessica Jeffries too. She pitched it perfectly.

Everything a rom-com should be
While trying to steal incriminating pictures of a very nasty politician, Pia falls from a tree and almost directly into the arms of a beautiful woman. One thing leads to another and after a wonderful evening, they spend the night together. When Pia wakes up the next morning, Cate is gone. Pia’s new job as a photographer for a new magazine should help distract her from her broken heart but that plan falls apart when the woman who gave her the most extraordinary night of her life turns out to be her new colleague… and her boss’s wife.
That Certain Something is a much lighter read than Finding Jessica Lambert, which was my only Ashton experience until now, and one of my favourite books in 2020. It’s angsty because angst is exciting but it’s also funny in just the way I like. And it’s probably why, besides Pia and Cate, my favourite character was Pia’s delightfully hilarious mother.
Jessica Jeffries isn’t a narrator I listen to very often, but her narration is stellar each time. The voices are easy to identify, the pace is perfect, the accents make my ears happy. I’m sure I would have loved Pia and Cate if I had read the book, but Jessica Jeffries’ voices for them felt so right they couldn’t have sounded better in my head.
This book is everything a rom-com should be. It’s sweet, funny, sexy and all-around lovely.

disappointing
Very disappointing and badly written, which was quite a surprise, since the author's new book "meeting Millie" made it to my favorites. The narrator doesn't help here, but I believe the main problem is the plot which seems extremely thin and shallow, plus the way of writing which comes across as rather immature and very inexperienced.
Maybe there is something to say for time, though (looks like this is one of her first books) - I wouldn't have ever guessed, that the same author wrote these two books. Since I enjoyed her newest book, I think I will still give some of the others a chance, if paired with another narrator as well - but THIS book was rather a pain to get trough, and in the end I just wanted it to be over, so I could get on with something else.

Great book...to read!
Fab6lous book. Unfortunately, dreadfully narrated! Don't listen, read if you can. As always, Clare Ashton books swoop you away! The narrative sent me to sleep! So sorry for the bad review, have to be honest x
