And it’s time to share our Third Place Winner’s entry for our Build Your Ideal Romance Audio contest!
Participants were asked to share with us their ideal romance audiobook. We announced our winners on Monday and ran Elaine’s first place entry. On Wednesday, we ran Julie’s second place entry. Today Kelley Raver has center stage with the romance audio she built for our contest.
Kelley wins three Tantor downloads of her choice.
Thanks Kelley! Enjoy your downloads. We’d love to know your download choices.
Kelley Raver’s Third Place Winning Entry
My Perfect Listen:
A dark, brooding, alpha hero tasked with “babysitting” – sigh, eye roll – a prominent archeologist’s daughter on a trek through the jungles of the Congo.
A shy, bookish heroine, oblivious to the surrounding dangers and unaware of her own inner strength, intent on joining her father at his excavation site to further her Phd research.
Alone and amidst torrential rains, sweltering heat, insurgent’s gunfire, and deadly jungle inhabitants, the hero and heroine are stranded in the steam of the jungle running for their lives in this Romantic “for your burning ears only” Suspense…with a possible twist…
….the hero, a black panther shifter, can’t believe he’s found his “beloved” behind a pair of wire framed glasses.
….the heroine, gazing into the hero’s eyes says, “I don’t know why I keep sneezing. I’m allergic to cats, but I haven’t seen one since I left Boston.”

Oh! Yes please…I’d be thrilled to work on a book with Robert Petkoff! Many thanks to Kelley! I hope she enjoys her nifty haul from Tantor Audio :)
Thanks for your comments Xe–I’m lucky enough to get my “Xe fix” numerous times throughout the year. In fact, I just finished Angela Graham’s Harmony series. But we really need to get Robert Petkoff to read more romance–it’s like a 12 to 18 month drought between his narrations…either that or Kresley Cole needs to write faster :)
Kelly, you made me laugh with the “I don’t know why I’m sneezing…” line! Man I’d love to work on a shifter series that had your sense of humor :)
Congrats both for winning and for coming up with such a fun entry.
Thanks for your comments Karen–I finished Blind Faith at the end of January–GREAT listen–looking forward to your team up with Rebecca Zanetti for Jory’s story and the Dark Protectors,
I am having fun with Rebecca’s books – its been interesting to do the Dark Protectors series pretty much in a row. It feels like one long book to me and I’m really immersed in her world. I’m glad you enjoyed Blind Faith, too. I thought she did a great job wrapping up with Jory (though I’m hoping for more somehow!)
