Narrated by Veida Dehmlow Every time I look at Audible’s list of new/upcoming releases, I see more and more new names listed among the narrators. Like many listeners, I’m fairly cautious about trying out new narrators, but fortunately for me, because of my association with AudioGals, I’m able to give some of them a try,…
Are you tired of sappy, unrealistic, small-town romance? You won’t find those issues in Shannon Richard’s Undone.

Unable to find a job, and…

Narrated by Stephen Lang I’m a big Sandra Brown fan who eagerly anticipates each of her new releases while relistening to my Brown favorites to keep my bouts of Brown fever at bay. Not only can I rely on another entertaining romantic suspense each year, but I rest in the knowledge that her new title…
The plot of In the Arms of the Heiress can be summed up fairly succinctly, thus: Young heiress engages complete stranger to act as faux husband for one month to help deceive her overprotective and disapproving family. Romance and hi-jinx ensue. Put like that, the book might not sound like all that promising, but I…
