    • This audiobook would be the one for you if you got swept up in the Benedict art salon storyline. The premise of The Duke Undone is irresistible: art student Lucy Coover stumbles across a naked, unconscious, and imposing man in London’s East End on her way to classes early one morning, and this unexpected glimpse proves to be just the inspiration she needs to produce the kind of scandalous portrait that will cover her family’s bills for the foreseeable future. You get swept up in the glamorous and thrilling Victorian-era art scene, along with detours inside the political world and even an insane asylum. If you love Simon’s rich and powerful but totally vulnerable and still reeling with childhood scars dichotomy, you'll find plenty of that here too.

    • If glamorous costumes are what drew you to Bridgerton, this listen is so utterly stylish that you will completely swoon. The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee is set against the backdrop of the grand tour. It tells the story of a young upperclassman’s traditional rite of passage that involves travelling around the continent and which also (minor spoiler alert) becomes a big part of Colin's narrative arc further along in the Bridgerton book series. Fans of Colin and queer romance will love this storyline filled with passionate romance and, as the title suggests, just the right balance of vices and virtues.
  • Page de couverture de Island Queen

    • Island Queen

    • A Novel
    • Auteur(s): Vanessa Riley
    • Narrateur(s): Adjoa Andoh
    • Durée: 21 h et 16 min
    • Date de publication: 2021-07-06
    • Langue: Anglais
    • 4.5 out of 5 stars 6 évaluations
    • Part of what elevated Shonda Rhimes’s brilliant imagining of Bridgerton to new groundbreaking heights was the diversity of the cast. And while this diversion from history has both been lauded and critiqued by audiences, it ultimately allows the fun and fantasy of the historical romance genre to be more broadly accessible. Island Queen is a historical fiction novel with a Black heroine that, unlike Bridgerton, is based on a true story. In this epically inspiring audiobook, Vanessa Riley reveals the remarkable life of Dorothy (Doll) Kirwan Thomas who was born into slavery in the 18th century. As a young woman, she managed to buy her freedom and, against all odds—cultural, gender, and racial—rose to become a wealthy and powerful landowner and businesswoman. To top it off, Adjoa Andoh (aka Lady Danbury) narrates the audiobook beautifully.

    • The Countess Conspiracy

    • “But what if I want something more?” If you related to that oft-quoted Eloise saying, you would love Violet Waterfield, a genius biologist fighting the limitations culture places on her gender. Though she is a countess, her gender means she can’t claim her work as her own. While working at the cutting edge of genetics, she discovers a new passion for the man who helps get her research out into the world. And while you’re sampling The Countess Conspiracy and Rosalyn Landor's impeccable narration, you should check out this entire series from Courtney Milan (no need to listen to them in order). Though the series may be called The Brothers Sinister, the male characters have one major thing in common: they all fall for bold, brave, ahead-of-their-time women.
  • Page de couverture de Love in the Afternoon

    • Love in the Afternoon

    • A Novel (Hathaways, Book 5)
    • Auteur(s): Lisa Kleypas
    • Narrateur(s): Rosalyn Landor

    • Durée: 9 h et 45 min
    • Date de publication: 2021-01-05
    • Langue: Anglais
    • 5 out of 5 stars 18 évaluations
    • Love in the Afternoon is an epistolary delight not to be missed. In this Lisa Kleypas pick, Beatrix is the manic pixie dream girl of the Hathaway family: she’s quirky and spunky and practically communicates with animals. Beatrix is a wonderfully engaging character that many listeners will relate to. When she meets Captain Phelan, they begin an accidental correspondence—in which she hides her true identity but not her true self—and a romance is quick to form. This act of getting to know each other remotely ultimately allows the hero not to stereotype Beatrix as the silly girl everyone perceives her to be.

    • Langue: Anglais
    • 4.5 out of 5 stars 11 évaluations
    • If you’re looking for queer Victorian or Regency romance, there’s no better place to start than Cat Sebastian. A Gentleman Never Keeps Score is truly one of her best works, brought to audio by narrator Joel Leslie. Retired boxer and pub owner Sam Fox isn’t normally the thieving type—but to help save a friend’s reputation, he finds himself breaking into the house of a wealthy recluse. Yet when the two men encounter each other, society’s expectations and their different worlds are thrown up in the air. Sweet, steamy, emotional, and extremely romantic, you will easily lose a few days immersed in this all-encompassing listen.

    • His at Night

    • Auteur(s): Sherry Thomas
    • Narrateur(s): Kate Reading
    • Durée: 11 h
    • Date de publication: 2014-11-18
    • Langue: Anglais
    • 4.5 out of 5 stars 11 évaluations
    • While the relationship at the center of this brilliant (and gloriously performed by Kate Reading) romance isn't fake, neither party is being truthful with each other—or themselves. And yet in His at Night, a genuine honesty develops between Lord Vere and Elissande, very much unintentionally. There's a draw between them that is no match for deception, and they can't help but show their cards - and everything else - to each other bit by bit. The same unbreakable chemistry that simmers in Bridgerton is on display here. Unexpected, exciting, and full of passion and tension, the Marquis of Vere will leave your head spinning.
  • Page de couverture de Who's That Earl

    • Who's That Earl

    • Auteur(s): Susanna Craig

    • Série: Love and Let Spy Series, Livre 1
    • Durée: 7 h et 57 min
    • Date de publication: 2021-05-13
    • Langue: Anglais
    • 4.5 out of 5 stars 3 évaluations
    • A great example of the ever-popular historical spy romance series is Who’s That Earl. The heroine here is a bit like the beloved Lady Whistledown—a scandalous writer who needs to keep her identity secret or risk danger. The hero of the story is a reluctant and grouchy nobleman who was forced to return home where all sorts of memories and feelings get stirred up. Susanna Craig's follow up to Who's That Earl is equally exciting and features a dashing hero with the talent to don any guise he chooses, a young widowed countess who can’t escape her son’s overbearing guardian, and a mysterious code book sought by the British crown.

    • 4.5 out of 5 stars 76 évaluations
    • If you need a stylish historical story that you can jump right into, then Belgravia—from Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes—is an obvious pick. This epic, plot-driven society story unfolds amid gossip and whispers in fashionable drawing rooms and East End merchant coffee shops, with both an immense inheritance and an even greater love on the line. This story is full of intriguing and complex characters, from those with old money to the new money up-and-comers. Given the culture of Great Britain in the 1840s, the secrets are many and major - and constantly at risk of getting out.
  • Page de couverture de Normal People

    • Normal People

    • A Novel
    • Auteur(s): Sally Rooney

    • Durée: 7 h et 34 min
    • Date de publication: 2019-04-16
    • Langue: Anglais
    • 4 out of 5 stars 774 évaluations
    • Another one for those who want to listen and watch: Normal People is a sexy book that was made into an even sexier Emmy-nominated TV show of the same name. And while it doesn’t quite check the box of genre romance (the HEA—happily ever after—is ambiguous), this unpausable listen, which deals with abuse, class, desire, and social expectations will give you all the feels. This romance story about the complexities and influence of deep connections and relationships is powerful, passionate, and moving. A deeper listen than some, Normal People is well worth the sidestep from other traditionally gushing romance stories.

Modern, insightful, and thought-provoking, it is still certainly romantic. It covers all the bases and gets steamy, with a guaranteed happy ending and a story that taps into the awkward moments of intimacy between two people in a way that more fantasy-oriented romance often misses.

Martha Waters puts a hilarious spin on the genre with a story full of biting wit, secrets, lies, and a dash of charm. What unfolds is a story of petty dramas, tricks, and flirtations. It is a riot of a tale, complete with false stories, deception and a lot of emotion. Its narration makes the story all the better by both Anais Inara Chase and Joel Froomkin, who read as the estranged wife and husband. They bring the perfect balance to the story, relaying the comedic timing perfectly without missing any of the heart and flirty playfulness inherent in the writing.
