Charlotte North returns to narrate the third--and final--audiobook in the Wilmot Sisters series, this time accompanied by Tim Paige. While visiting Scotland, Juliet briefly dances with a handsome stranger named Will she meets at a pub. Serendipity has the two meeting again several months later in Juliet's family's greenhouse. Will's best friend from college just happens to be Juliet's childhood friend and next-door neighbor. The two become "workout buddies," slowly developing a deep friendship that becomes more. With more than 500 audiobook credits under his belt, nearly all of them romances, it's not surprising that Paige provides a charming performance. North exuberantly captures Juliet's fiery personality. Both expressively perform secondary characters with distinct voices. A delightful listening experience.

A model and a mogul get married in Vegas on a bet, and Diana Luke narrates their story with élan. While it would be easy to portray Leila Darling as a scheming caricature or Carter Bain as a ruthless businessman, Luke never crosses that line. Her portrayal of Leila is generous and encompasses the full range of her character--from the formidable professional at the top of her game to the vulnerable woman who is unsure if she can trust a man with her heart. Likewise, Luke's portrayal of Carter showcases both his business acumen and his emotional vulnerability as he opens himself up to Leila. While loosely connected to the previous Unconventional Brides volumes, this can easily stand alone.

Review Posted Online: Jan. 22, 2026
After her divorce, Roberta Jewett, with her three daughters, returns to Camden, Maine, to start a new life. Such an independent move in 1916 brings difficulties with her mother, her in-laws and the townspeople. Dukes's performance, while skillful, sometimes suffer in scenes of emotional content. His pace slows, and his reading acquires the peculiar emphasis of someone trying to get instructions across to a non-English-speaking person. The effect is disturbingly laughable. When he resumes his normal pace, the story revives and personalities emerge again, but the awkwardness remains as an odd interruption to Spencer's drama of pain and love, dispelling Dukes's carefully constructed characterizations.
