Read moreStrip Me by Margay Leah Justice
April 3, 2019
Narration: B+Story: C-Reviewer: CazPublisher: Simon & Schuster AudioNarrated by Kale Williams and Sebastian York I’m far more likely to take a chance on a new or new-to-me author in audio than I am in print, especially if their book is performed by someone I enjoy listening to. So, when Margay Leah Justice’s Strip Me came up for review with two very familiar names ...
Read moreBad Reputation by S.L. Scott
February 13, 2019
Narration: B+Story: C-Reviewer: KaetrinPublisher: S.L. ScottNarrated by Ava Erickson & Sebastian York My first attraction to Bad Reputation was because of the calibre of the narrators, particularly Sebastian York. But I read the blurb and it seemed like fun – a secret princess and a man trying to win her back from the would-be fiancé she’d only be marrying out of ...

September 13, 2017
Narration: A-Story: B-Reviewer: BJPublisher: C. Scott Publishing Corp.Narrated by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York The writing combination of Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward have long been at the top of my New Adult, sexy romantic listen list. So when I saw they were releasing another collaboration, I jumped on board to review. While once again this writing duo has produced a romantic comedy ...
Read moreKing of Clubs by Sandra Owens
August 22, 2017
Narration: B+Story: BReviewer: KaetrinPublisher: Brilliance AudioNarrated by Amy McFadden & Sebastian York I am a sucker for a rescue trope. Damsels in distress aren’t all that popular these days but I have a soft spot for them I admit. Nevertheless, my feminist side usually wants the heroine to do a bit of rescuing herself to balance things out. It’s not a ...

Narration: B+Story: BReviewer: BJPublisher: Penelope Ward Books IncNarrated by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York Fans of single father romances and the second chance at love (or friends turned lovers) tropes will be the most intrigued by Mack Daddy. There is also a minor suspense element that exemplifies how romantic protagonists are often influenced and shaped by their parents and childhoods. While I did ...
Read moreCandy Boys by Jo Raven
June 7, 2017
Narration: B+Story: CReviewer: KaetrinPublisher: Podium PublishingNarrated by Ava Erickson, Sebastian York & Joe Arden I like erotic romance and MMF ménage is my favourite kind so when Candy Boys came up for review, I was quick to put my hand up. With narrators the calibre of Sebastian York and Ava Erickson (I had little experience of listening to Joe Arden previously) ...

May 29, 2017
Narration: A-/B+Story: A-/B+Reviewer: MelindaPublisher: Lauren Blakely BooksNarrated by Sebastian York Max Summers is all man – he’s a man’s man, a top mechanic, the king of custom built dream cars, who might occasionally, in private, indulge his softer side in his claw-foot tub with a bath bomb or two.

March 23, 2017
Narration: AStory: C+Reviewer: MelindaPublisher: Louise BayNarrated by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York The hits (and near-misses) just keep coming from Louise Bay, with a new story in what isn’t labeled a series but features some characters from a previous book (The King of Wall Street, Max and Harper). (Sounds like a series to me, by the way.) While Max was the ...

Read moreFour Letter Word by J. Daniels
March 1, 2017
Narration: Kate Russell: A / Sebastian York: A-Story: BReviewer: BJPublisher: Hachette AudioNarrated by Kate Russell and Sebastian York This is a tough review to write. There were things about this book that I loved, but one major and one minor building block of this relationship that didn’t sit well with me. Unfortunately, the blurb doesn’t flush out most of this story (instead just giving you a glimpse ...

Narration: A-Story: B+Reviewer: BJPublisher: JKB Publishing, LLCNarration by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York Sweet Cheeks gives a unique spin to a story that romance listeners have no doubt heard before: the second chance at love trope. The interesting twist is that Ms. Bromberg splices and dices this trope with a couple of other contemporary romance tropes (the movie star with a small ...

January 10, 2017
Narration: BStory: BReviewer: KaetrinPublisher: Audible StudiosNarrated by Rachel Fulginiti & Sebastian York Easy Kisses is the latest release in the Boudreaux series by Kristen Proby. I bought the first books in the series and I confess I called a halt to the first one, Easy Love, because I couldn’t quite cope with the disconnect in accents. Rachel Fulginiti gives the Boudreaux ...
Read moreMarriage Games by CD Reiss
December 15, 2016
Narration: A+Story: AReviewer: BJPublisher: Flip City Media, IncNarrated by Elena Wolfe and Sebastian York Marriage Games is unlike any other book I’ve ever listened to.

Read morePlayboy Pilot by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward
December 14, 2016
Narration: B+Story: B-Reviewer: KaetrinPublisher: Tantor AudioNarrated by Andi Arndt & Sebastian York I was attracted to this audiobook by the narrating duo as well as the blurb. Playboy Pilot is my first book from either (or both) Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward and, while it didn’t totally work for me, I expect it won’t be my last. Captain Carter Clynes (aka “Triple ...

Read moreKing of Wall Street by Louise Bay
November 21, 2016
Narration: B+Story: B+Reviewer: MelindaPublisher: Louise BayNarrated by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York Louise Bay is new to me, but not new to Romance – she has several full length, self-pubbed novels, starting in 2014. Her story style is similar to Lauren Blakely, Emma Chase, Sawyer Bennett – young urban professional protagonists, not really angsty (so in my book, not New Adult) ...

November 16, 2016
Narration: B+Story: B+Reviewer: KaetrinPublisher: Brilliance AudioNarrated by Amy McFadden & Sebastian York I stumbled across Only Her in a coming soon list at Audible a little while ago and between a winning blurb, Sebastian York co-narrating and dogs (!)

Read moreBad Judgment by Meghan March
November 9, 2016
Narration: B+Story: C+Reviewer: KaetrinPublisher: Meghan MarchNarrated by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York Bad Judgment was a bit of an adventure for me. I requested it mainly on the strength of the narrating team of Sebastian York and Andi Arndt, both of whom are really good, solid narrators, and the blurb, which promised a forced proximity romance – a trope I love. ...

Read moreThe Sapphire Affair by Lauren Blakely
August 8, 2016
Narration: AStory: B-Reviewer: MelindaPublisher: Brilliance AudioNarrated by Sebastian York I have come to expect Lauren Blakely’s work to be of the sub-genre of contemporary romance that is male-centric, told in first person from the hero’s point of view, which is usually arrogant and self-confident and a little surprised that a mere woman can end up making him fall so hard. Big ...
Read moreNights With Him by Lauren Blakely

Read moreTied by Emma Chase
December 10, 2014
Narration: A-Story: A-Reviewer: BJPublisher: Simon & Schuster AudioNarrated by Sebastian York Emma Chase does it yet again! Tied is a hilarious, sexy, witty, suspenseful, and romantic listen. I fell in love with Drew Evans in Tangled, so I just knew I couldn’t miss another opportunity to hear the world from his always-interesting point of view. Tied has a slightly different feel than Tangled, primarily due to ...

I buy audible books just because of him – LOL. Thanks for this list.
I’m the same as Mandi – I look at the narrator and if it’s Sebastian there’s almost a 100% chance I’m going to buy it.
I hear you, Mandi. I do the same. Got hooked for the first time with Tangled and then Christina Lauren’s books. I never looked back.
Yes! Beautiful Player is my favorite!
Me too!!! I don’t even read the synopsis!! Also, Rob Shspiro!!! Hmmm
I’d just like to add one thing. As of late, he appears in a lot of audiobooks just to narrate the epilogue (maybe to lure his fans to blindly one-click, like I used to do?). In my case, I do not buy books narrated by Shayna Thibodeaux because of her extremely annoying habit (to me) of increasing the tempo and intonation in the middle of each and every sentnce and then deflate at the end (a pity, really, she’s very good at reading dialogs and doing male voices). I spent one credit on Nuts when it first came out because of Mr. York, of course. I should have had a closer look at the description. Mr. York narrates only the epilogue. So beware of this trend.
Does anyone know what Sebastian York looks ?? This is driving me crazy to know 🤣🤣
