Have you listened to any of the books listed? Do you spy any of your favorite narrators?
I haven’t heard any of these because although I do listen to audiobooks, I generally prefer to imagine my own voices for romance characters. However – I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again – the best audiobook I listened to this year was The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee. YA historical adventure with plenty of romance (more emotional than any of the adult romances I read in 2017). Christian Coulson’s narration was so expressive and perfect for the main character that it didn’t feel like a reading at all.
I loved Real Dirty by Meghan March. Elena Wolfe and Sebastian York are some of my favorite narrators!
I loved White Hot by Ilona Andrews and Renee Raudman does a great job narrating it!
@oceanjasper: The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Lee is on AudioFile’s best of YA lists too!
Maybe its just me, but I cannot stand when there is a reader for the male and female parts. It ruined many bdsm audible books for me.
