Mary Jane Wells delivers another excellent performance of a contemporary romance. The third of the Graves Glen series once again features reclusive Welsh witch Bowen Penhallow, who does business with an American magical artifact collector named Tamsyn. Neither she nor Bowen expect to see the other at a Yuletide wedding--or to be whisked into the past. Romance blossoms, and they admit their feelings for each other just as their time there is about to run out. Full of expression, Wells seamlessly switches between characters, capturing both their personalities and their surroundings. She entertains and delights, especially as she captures the humor in the couple's communication.

Katie Leung's Scottish accent immediately immerses listeners in the Scottish Highlands in this sapphic vampire audiobook. Rebecca, a vampire hunter, goes undercover at a vampire university to find the Book of Blood and Roses, a compilation of ways to kill vampires. After being attacked, her gorgeous vampire roommate rescues her but accidentally makes Rebecca her familiar in the process. Finding the book could break the familiar curse, but their new proximity heats things up along the way. Leung easily switches between accents and tones to enliven a large cast of students, and her precise pacing adds delightful tension to romantic scenes. Leung's Scottish accent and precise pacing elevate this vampire romance.

This gently adventurous time travel romance makes for a lighthearted listen.
Brittany Pressley returns to narrate this companion title to Her Knight at the Museum. Inspired by her friend, Emily, Chicago museum employee Rose Novak tries a little magic on a 19th-century painting and ends up summoning Henry Leighton-Lyons, the Duke of Beresford, to her apartment. Rose has a warm voice as she sympathizes with Henry's situation and his grief over the loss of his wife. Henry's upper-crust accent screams pompous aristocrat, even as his fascination with scientific advances often slips into his voice. As Rose and Henry grow closer, Pressley makes their mutual affection clear.
