What a treat it is to listen to Kimberly Wetherell's sparkling narration of this fun and heartwarming rom-com. At age 29, Gray leaves Tulsa for a position in public relations at a prestigious private school in New Orleans, where her best friend, Cherry, lives. Having ended a ten-year relationship, Gray is encouraged by Cherry to embark on a six-week astrology dating project that will involve a date with one woman who was born under each of the 12 zodiac signs. The dates run the gamut, but Wetherell presents each scenario and the various women with distinction, nuance, and a dash of humor. Gray is portrayed with warmth and intelligence, and Wetherell's evocation of New Orleans keeps listeners engaged throughout. Listeners can't ask for a better summer listen.

Moira Quirk charms in this first adult romance from YA author Lee. Harriet Lockhart, an actor in a Sapphic theater company, discovers that she and her brother are the illegitimate sons of the prince regent. He offers them inheritances, but Harry's is contingent upon her marrying an acceptable husband. Emily Sergeant is also in London looking for a husband so that she won't have to marry the dangerous man to whom she has been promised. The two women's paths cross, and their fiery first meeting leads to a deep connection. The story has enough twists to keep it unpredictable, and with her collection of accents, Quirk's performance adds to the pleasures. A funny, bawdy, heartfelt queer regency romance.

Harrison Knights narrates TJ Alexander's debut historical romance. Needing to keep up appearances while in London for the season, eccentric Lord Christopher Eden reluctantly hires James Harding as his valet. Knights captures Christopher's somewhat persnickety nature, as well as the aching loneliness that causes him to make deeply awkward overtures of friendship toward his new valet. In contrast, Knights gives James a somewhat sardonic tone, but his underlying dedication to his position and overall professional devotion to his employer are always clear. As the two men tentatively establish their relationship, Knights's care with their emotional development is evident. The numerous secondary characters are also distinctly voiced, creating a rich environment for Christopher and James's story.
