Narrated by Caitlin Davies In Must Love Otters we listeners meet Hollie Porter, a 25-year-old 911 operator in Portland, Oregon and, so we are told, an animal lover – her particular favourite is the sea otter. Because the story is from Hollie’s first-person perspective, the listener gets to spend more than eight hours in Hollie’s…
Narrated by Joel Leslie Cat Sebastian’s Hither, Page is book one in a series of mysteries set just after the Second World War in the sort of sleepy English village beloved of cosy mysteries and British detective series; a place in which all the inhabitants are in and out of each other’s business, gossip abounds…
Narrated by Andrew Eiden I had mixed feelings about Undercover Bromance, came up, I decided to take it and see if I might like it more than the first book. Again, I have mixed feelings. The narration is excellent – no surprises there. There were some aspects to the story that I liked more than…
Narrated by Lorelei King I have long been a fan of the Mercy Thompson series, but it was with some trepidation that I loaded Smoke Bitten onto my iPod. The (US) politics in last year’s Storm Cursed made me stumble a bit and I was a little scared of what I might find here. I’m…
Narrated by Rosalyn Landor First published in 1998, but newly available in audio, Irresistible is the final book in Mary Balogh’s Horsemen Trilogy, which features a group of friends who served together in the Peninsular War, and whose fearless feats of derring-do earned them the nickname the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. It’s a gently…
Narrated by Perdita Weeks I hope many of you have heard of Madeline Miller. She’s the enormously talented author who’s taken vaguely familiar mythological stories (Circe and The Song of Achilles), and re-imagined them for a 21st century audience. Even if you have very little familiarity with Greek mythology (me), her slightly contemporary twists on…
Narrated by Joel Leslie Alice Winters is a new-to-me author, but I’m a fan of paranormal romantic suspense stories and the synopsis of Within the Mind caught my eye. Seeing Joel Leslie listed as the narrator sealed the deal and I decided to give her work a try. Chevy Wright and his partner Seneca Bates…
Narrated by Zara Hampton-Brown Lady Grace Wyatt, the daughter of the Earl of Pembroke is a 26-year-old herpetologist (one who studies reptiles and amphibians). She’s regarded by society as weird and, somewhat surprisingly, considering her parentage, not seen as desirable wife material. She has largely withdrawn from socialising with the ton and spends most of…
Narrated by Kale Williams I Buried a Witch is book two in Josh Lanyon’s Bedknobs and Broomsticks series, and it picks up just a couple of weeks after the events of book one, Mainly by Moonlight. Because all three books are linked by an overarching plot, it’s fairly safe to say that this one doesn’t…
Narrated by Zara Hampton-Brown And Then He Kissed Her, book one in Laura Lee Guhrke’s Girl Bachelors series, is one of those books that’s often cited as a favourite by historical romance fans. Originally published in 2007, this is the first time it’s been available in audio, and it’s good to see some old favourites…
