Meg Sylvan and Hunter Millbrook combine their narration talents in this story of love and betrayal--filled with references to Broadway. Erika Greene was a Broadway diva until she was injured in a tragic stage accident. Now she's running her grandmother's failing opera house in Paris, Nevada. Christof Daae had a great band in Germany until he and the band's keyboard player broke up. Now he's brought what's left of the band to town to work on their new album. He and Erika discover that their mutual attraction may be the only thing that saves his band and her opera house. Sylvan captures Erika's frustration and delicious sarcasm, while Millbrook masterfully balances the band members' voices and German accents. With two wonderful narrators, this audiobook becomes a fun romance to listen to more than once.

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.
