Let Us Know New Release Discoveries - II

[JaneA]

I see Lost Among the Living is now available. But I'm really disappointed to see it's not narrated by Rosalyn Landor or Mary Jane Wells, the narrators of her previous three books. I've finally gotten used to Justine Eyre as THE narrator of Nalini Singh's Guild Hunter series, but overall I find her voice grating. So I'm not sure if I'll be listening to or reading this one, though Audible is selling it for only $9.95 right now.

Don't Tempt Me and Your Scandalous Ways by Loretta Chase are now available at Audible. I think these were the last of her books that weren't available in audio.

[Suzanne]

Thanks Moriah!

Yep, they're the last two :(

Not up at Audible UK yet, though...

I just ran across Simply Unforgettable, narrated by Rosalyn Landor and released 5/31/16 at Audible. Doing a happy dance. :)

Tantor is releasing - or I think RE-releasing all four books in the series over the next few months. I suspect they are the old Books on Tape recordings from the 2000s - but hey who cares? These have been unavailable for years so its great.

Also, the next book in the Horseman Trilogy is being released by Recorded Books soon.

They are old releases, but hard to get a hold of and I've been coveting them for a while.

In the Horseman Trilogy are you talking about Unforgiven? That book was a real stinker for me, though I love most everything Mary Balogh.

Yep. I loved Indiscreet but am not familiar with this next one. Oh, well... I'd listen to Roz read the phone book :)

I loved Indiscreet, too. I'll be interested in your thoughts on Unforgiven. :) Ditto on Rosalyn Landor!

Fantastic! At last!

Grace Burrowes The Soldier is now available at Audible. Tantor had shown the release date at the end of June.

They did - they've brought a few things forward lately :)

[Moriah]

Strangely, The Summer Bride by Anne Gracie is available on Audible, but the print/Kindle version of the book isn't scheduled to be released until 7/5 according to Amazon.

I think Tantor is must be having some sort of crazed burst of activity or something! The new Grace Burrowes (The Soldier) is out, too, and wasn't scheduled until the end of June, and so is the next Mary Balogh "Simply" title.

[Moriah]

Caz wrote: "Moriah wrote: "Strangely, The Summer Bride by Anne Gracie is available on Audible, but the print/Kindle version of the book isn't scheduled to be released until 7/5 according to Ama..."

I had noticed those but since the titles themselves were previously released, I wasn't too surprised. It's just unusual to see the audio released before the book has been published for the first time. I think one of Mary Jo Putney's titles was released several months prior to book being published last year by Recorded Books.

Here's hoping the next Kerrigan Byrne title The Highlander is released early.

Crazed maybe, but good listening ahead!

As Death Draws Near by Anna Lee Huber is available now at Audible. Kindle version is schedule to release on 7/5.

Great! I love this series.

[Moriah]

Looks like Tantor will be producing the rest of the Windham series in audio throughout the fall. I'm very excited to see more Grace Burrowe's titles in audio and narrated by James Langton who has narrated most of her other audio titles.

[Mara]

I am listening to by Grace Burrowes. The story is great, I am just enjoying James Langton's narration. He wonderful with the male voices, but his female voices need work.

Agreed. Sometimes he gets them right, but he's a bit inconsistent. But he's soooooo good at everything else :)

[Moriah]

Tantor looks to be starting to release Mary Balogh's Slightly series. First title Slightly Married is showing with a release date of 9/30 with Rosalyn Landor narrating. This is one series I've been hoping would get recorded. Rosalyn Landor narrating is icing on the cake.

Exciting!

[Moriah]

The Virtuoso by Grace Burrowes is now available on Audible well ahead of Tantor's listed August publication date. On a related note, it looks like Tantor will continue to procedure additional Grace Burrowes titles after the stories about the Wyndham daughters are released this fall. Thomas and Tremaine's True Love are listed as 2017 releases. Now if only someone would hear my wish to have Julie Anne Long's historicals recorded...

[Caz]

Just spotted Julia Quinn's The Duke and I narrated by Rosalyn Landor (thank God they got someone GOOD!) at Audible. Fingers crossed that means that the other four so-far-unrecorded Bridgerton books are on the way.

I looked at the Recorded Books site and it looks like the other four books will be released. Audible has 3 of her earlier titlesDancing at Midnight, Minx, and Splendid available for pre-order.

Hopefully this is a sign that older titles that aren't currently in audio might be recorded.

Yes, I'd noticed those as well, although sadly, they use a narrator I'm unfamiliar with.

[MsB]

I just listened to the unabridged version of Morning Glory by LaVryle Spencer Narrated by Kate Forbes. Typically I read contemporary romance and recently have looked for more mature
main characters. This book didn't fit either of that criteria but it was a beautifully written, quite sort of book.

[Moriah]

Audible has Salt Hendon Collection: A Georgian Historical Romance Boxed Set by Lucinda Brant narrated by Alex Wyndham. I'm excited for another collaboration between these two.

[Caz]

Purchasers note that both titles in this set were previously recorded by Marian Hussey (I don't know if they've been withdrawn or not, though, I haven't checked), but I believe that there are some minor textual differences between the two versions.

One of my favorite Bridgerton books The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn is now available on Audible narrated by Rosalyn Landor. I'm looking forward to listening to this one.

[Suzanne]

Thanks for the info. I loved this book too. Just checked, and saw the 2nd Epilogue for the book. Have had this for a long time, but not the original book.

It was there when I looked earlier and now it is missing. Wonder if it was in the process of being added and will re-appear later.

It is now showing again at Audible. I think the 2017 date is for the CD version that libraries purchase.

Kresley Cole has re-released the audio of The Warlord Wants Forever with Robert Petkoff as the narrator. I have nothing against the original narrators, Simone Fomhar & Hagan Verret, but Petkoff is amazing and has become the voice of the series. I will definitely had it to my collection.

[Moriah]

An Offer From a Gentleman by Julia Quinn is now available on Audible read by Rosalyn Landor.

This one sounds interesting. I haven't read the first 2 books, does anyone have an opinion on reading the Bridgerton books as standalones?

[Grace]

They work as standalone but as with all series they reference other characters. You'd probably enjoy it more it you read them all. The Bridgertons are an interesting family with a great matriarch. I recommend the series. Julia Quinn has a great writing/conversational style.

[Caz]

Stella Riley's A Splendid Defiance, narrated by Alex Wyndham is now available at Audible.

It's been one of my favourite HRs for 30 years, and the audio is fabulous :)

Gaelen Foley's My Dangerous Duke narrated by Marian Hussey is now available on Audible. I enjoy Marian Hussey's narrations so happy to see this title released with a good narrator.

I like her, too. And almost anyone would be better than the last narrator GF used...

[ReadKnitHoard]

UK/European Audible listeners, rejoice! Orion is finally releasing the rest of Nalini Singh's Guild Hunter audiobooks that we've been jonesing for for ages. Woo hoo!

Added April 2: The Psy-Changeling series releases April 13 onwards. Yay!

[D.G.]
