The Lure of the Moonflower by Lauren Willig

Narrated by Kate Reading

I’ve really enjoyed this series and am sorry to see it end, but eager for Jane’s story. With the fabulous Kate Reading once more at the helm, this is bound to be a great listen. – Caz

It has been 12 books in the making but finally this series comes to an end. However, it is the Pink Carnation herself who takes center stage this time. And the lovely Kate Reading returns to narrate! – Diana

Finally! Jane’s story! This has been such a fun series to follow, and Kate Reading is truly one of the top narrators in the Romance genre (and she’s good in other genres too!) so this is one of those perfect pairings, sure to please. – Melinda

Friction by Sandra Brown

Narrated by Stephen Lang

Although I’m not familiar with the narrator, as a fan of romantic suspense, I’ve come to eagerly await Sandra Brown’s yearly new romantic suspense release. This year Ms. Brown will be simultaneously releasing her print and audio version of her latest, Friction, in mid-August. – BJ

Every summer, I find myself waiting on pins and needles for Ms. Brown’s next romantic suspense title to be released. Friction looks amazing, and Mr. Lang is sure to give an outstanding performance. – Shannon

 

I’m in No Mood for Love by Rachel Gibson

Narrated by Kathleen Early

One of my favourite Gibson books, I’m looking forward to revisiting it on audio. – Kaetrin

The Author Friends series is one of my favorites and I do re-reads of it all the time. I highly recommend reading them in order so that the final book’s resolution has the most impact. I find Kathleen Early’s narration to be hit-or-miss, though. – Melinda

 

Brown Eyed Girl by Lisa Kleypas

Narrated by Brittany Pressley

I’ve been looking forward to this one all year. I’m not ashamed to admit I begged for the chance to review it. – Kaetrin

I prefer Kleypas’ contemporaries to her historicals, so I’m looking forward to another book in the Travis series. Brittany Pressley will be a new narrator for me. – Melinda

 

 

SEAL the Deal by Kate Aster

Narrated by Tanya Eby

Ms. Aster is a new to me author but I like SEALs and I’m a fan of narrator, Tanya Eby. Fingers crossed! – Kaetrin

 

 

 

 

Magic Shifts by Ilona Andrews

Narrated by Renee Raudman

Kate + Curran = HAPPY ME! That is all. – Diana

 

 

 

 

Autumn Duchess by Lucinda Brant

Narrated by Alex Wyndham

Narrator Alex Wyndham has very quickly proven himself to be an outstanding audiobook performer in every respect, and his recordings of Lucinda Brant’s Alec Halsey mysteries have been utterly compelling. This second book in her Roxton Family Saga looks set to be another tremendous listen. – Caz

 

 

Sustained by Emma Chase

Narrated by Sebastian York

Reuniting one of my favorite author/narrator combos (who could ever forget Drew from Tangled?), Emma Chase’s release of Sustained, the second book in the Legal Briefs series (which can be read as a standalone) narrated by Sebastian York, is sure to be a late summer romantic comedy hit.- BJ

 

 

Two Minutes by Dannika Dark

Narrated by Nicole Poole

I can’t wait for this next installment in the Seven paranormal romance series, where we will finally get Denver’s story. Both the writing and the narration have been fantastic in the previous five books, so I have high hopes for this audiobook.- BJ

 

 

 

Far Away Home by Susan Denning

Narrated by Tavia Gilbert

I love anything historical, especially when the story is well-researched and true to the times. Far Away Home promises that, and so much more. Pair this with what is sure to be a stellar performance from Tavia Gilbert and I’m almost sure we’ll have a winner. – Shannon

 

 

If You Only Knew by Kristan Higgins

Narrated by Xe Sands and Amy Rubinate

Higgins has been my go-to author for a few years, so I’m hoping for another winner! Interesting combo of narrators – Xe Sands and Amy Rubinate.- Melinda

 

 

 

 

 

The Moment of Letting Go by J.A. Redmerski

Narrated by Chelsea Hatfield

I’ve been a fan of this author for a couple of years now. I admire her ability to craft believable characters and riveting stories. Seeing Chelsea Hatfield listed as narrator only increased my anticipation. – Shannon

 

 

Chase the Darkness by JD Tyler

Narrated by Marguerite Gavin

We finally have Micah’s book! I’ve been waiting for his HEA since book 2 and he, more than all the brothers, needs it. Narrator Marguerite Gavin is newer to the series but just as capable of delivering the action and the heat. – Diana
