Where did January go?! I know that for me, it went in a blur of really good listens, so I hope everyone else managed to avoid the post-Christmas Blues by listening to some great audiobooks. Although in fact, with two new releases by the dream-team of Loretta Chase and Kate Reading, a new narration by Nicholas Boulton and something scorching hot and very funny from N.M Silber and Tavia Gilbert, it felt like Christmas wasn’t quite over!

Also featured in January: Currently Playing returned after a festive break and we caught up with Alex Wyndham – one of our new favourite narrators – who has just started recording a new series of historical romances by Stella Riley. You can read our interview with Alex and Stella and listen to an exclusive excerpt HERE (although the giveaway is now closed).
