The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Sylvia Days The Stranger I married, a tale of ambition, love and lust. Read by the actress Imogen Church.

They are Londons most scandalous couple. Isabel, Lady Pelham, and Gerard Faulkner, Marquess of Grayson, are well matched in all things - lusty appetites, constant paramours, provocative reputations, and their absolute refusal to ruin a marriage of convenience by falling in love. It is a most agreeable sham - until a shocking event sends Gerard from her side. When, four years later, Gerard returns, the boyish rogue is now a powerful, irresistible man determined to seduce Isabel. He is not the man she married - but is he the one to finally steal her heart?

Title: Blaze

Author: Di Morrissey

Narrator: Kate Hood

Format: Unabridged

Length: 20 hrs and 37 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-01-13

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Fiction, Chick Lit

Publisher's Summary:

Blaze exposes the new order of women and power in the cut-throat arena of up-market magazines. The idealistic baby boomers have been pushed aside and it's every woman for herself. An intimate look at four women coping with their private and public lives in the world where scheming and fox cunning seem to beat skill and talent, where sexism and ageism in office politics label women over 30 over the hill. Blaze is the story of women trying to survive, to compete, while maintaining friendships and finding happiness. In this pressure-cooker world, something has to give and for some women it isn't worth the fight. For others, it's all or nothing.

Critic Reviews:

"Morrissey demonstrates once more that she is the thinking woman's answer to Barbara Cartland." (The Book Bulletin)

"Enter the world of powerful women who run or work for upscale women's fashion magazines in France, Australia, and England. These women fight for survival, for love, and for power in the fickle world of influence and style. Kate Hood performs this novel seamlessly. Her American accents are coarse when compared to the cultured tones she uses for the narrative. French and Australian accents are subtle, British accents soft. No place for the faint of heart, these women's magazines require nerves of steel and a tight grip on emotions and morals. But can our heroines find happiness and fulfillment in their lives? Di Morrissey tells all as Hood captures the personalities and drive of women climbing to the top." (AudioFile Magazine)

Members Reviews:

Predictable

American accents were cheesy and too fake. Storyline too predictable with a too perfect happy ending. Disappointing.

interesting insight into the magazine world

great story and kept me interested all the way. love the indepth stories from Di Morissey.

Title: When I Fall in Love

Author: Miranda Dickinson

Narrator: Penelope Rawlins

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-16-12

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 20 votes

Genres: Fiction, Chick Lit

Publisher's Summary:

The brand-new release from the Sunday Times best-selling author that bought you Fairytale of New York and It Started With A Kiss.

What happens when the happy ever after is suddenly and painfully taken away from you? Join Elsie as she battles to start again, with the help of a disastrous, newly-formed singing group and her father and sister armed with dating hopefuls.

Members Reviews:

Can't finish it!

The reader is so obnoxious that I can't listen anymore.

Her voice for the main character is fine but her voices all the supporting characters are ridiculous.

I'm wondering if the book is something I would like if I read it myself?

When I Fall In Love

Undoubtedly my best audio buy of the year.

Strong believable characters acting out their story line set in & around many of my beloved haunts in Brighton.

Although the Ice Cream Café is fictional I could recognise many of the other settings mentioned.

The will they wont they scenario kept me guessing right to the end & the actual list at the end of the book is both entertaining & poignant just as you would expect a bucket list to be

Heart warming, heart wrenching & smile making - the ideal Winter listen to transport the listener to Paris via Brighton Pier.

If I could award this 10 stars I would!

Roll on the next Miranda Dickinson addition Audible.

The narrator lets this one down

Just couldn't continue listening afer 1 hour. The voices of the narrator are so annoying for Daisy the sister and the American. And poor dad, well he sounds as if he is 30 years old then he is. Shame really because it might have had potential.

Title: One Hundred Names

Author: Cecelia Ahern

Narrator: Amy Creighton

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 56 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-11-12

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 13 votes

Genres: Fiction, Chick Lit

Publisher's Summary:

The thoughtful and unique new novel from the phenomenally popular author. Journalist Kitty Logans career is being destroyed by scandal - and now she faces losing the woman who guided and taught her everything she knew. At her terminally ill friends bedside, Kitty asks - what is the one story she always wanted to write? The answer lies in a file buried in Constances office: a list of 100 names. There is no synopsis, nothing to explain what the story is or who these people are. The list is simply a mystery.

But before Kitty can talk to her friend, it is too late. With everything to prove, Kitty is assigned the most important task of her life: to write the story her mentor never had the opportunity to. Kitty not only has to track down and meet the people on the list, but find out what connects them. And, in the process of hearing ordinary peoples stories, she starts to understand her own.

Critic Reviews:

"Insightful and true." (Irish Times)

"Exceptional both heartbreaking and uplifting." (Daily Express)

"A heavenly gift that speaks to the heart." (Irish Independent)

Members Reviews:

Different, fun and thought provoking

I loved this book. The story was a refreshing change and the characters varied.

Cecelia Ahern always writes beautifully - and this book is no exception.

a gift of a wonderful story

A piece of work which manages to capture every emotion bringing tears and laughter in waves. whilst wonderfully describing life's every day ordinary beauty.

Something totally different

I saw this book and having read only one other of Cecilia Aherns book I wasn't too sure.

But I'm so glad I did listen, it's such a heart warming laugh out loud at times tale that I would recommend to anyone

It will not be the only book by the author that o listen to.

intriguing to the point of bo return

I shouted at my phone at the end of this...left me wanting more. A good read.

Another great story.

Great book, good narrator, well worth the credit to listen to. Love Cecelia Ahern books because they are easy to listen to, easy to follow and no sex, violence and very little swearing. Just what you need to listen to in the car on the way home from a busy shift.

Recommend this book to all who enjoy a relaxed read without having to remember complicated plot lines.

Only down side, I worked out the connection between the 100 names almost at the beginning, but this didn't detract from the story in anyway.

From the very first day that they move to the Oddlode Valley, it's inevitable that young teacher Mo Stillitoe, recently separated socialite Diana Lampeter and cool, retired dressage diva Anke Brakespear will find their lives entangled. Despite their differing generations and backgrounds, the women are on a relocation collision course. As inept removal men deliver furniture - and even horses - to the wrong houses, other moves are being made

Mo's bad-boy lover takes Diana's eye, Anke's flirtatious husband immediately suggests Mo hop into bed with him - and Diana's local heartthrob brother comes joyfully face to face with the Danish ice-maiden he posted on his wall as a teenager. As a long, hot Indian summer burns its embers into winter, the newcomers settle into their beautiful frost-hugged surroundings, generating enough heat to melt every heart in Oddlode.

New passions ignite and old flames are fanned amid the honeyed villages, enchanted gardens, haunted parkland and raucous country social life.The heat is on, and sparks fly - but is this just a flash in the pan or is somebody fuelling the fire?

Members Reviews:

Loved it.

I had read the book before and loved the story so I decided to listen this time. I enjoyed it second time around just as much and would recommend it as a lovely easy listen.

Great story line

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. The story has a 1000 characters and a ton of plot lines, but you just want to keep reading to see what becomes of them all.

What other book might you compare Tongue in Cheek to, and why?

The Summer Wedding, same author, and a great mix of characters.

Which character as performed by Beth Chalmers was your favourite?

Diana Lampeter, she was a fun character to listen to.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

TOWIE, Made in Chelsea, Dallas, Eastenders, Emmerdale all rolled into one leafy part of the Cotwolds

Any additional comments?

Please keep Beth Chalmers as narrator, she does an amazing job at projecting the characters and adjust her voice to suit

Really enjoyed this book

What did you like most about Tongue in Cheek?

Great story, lots going on. Very good value for money

What did you like best about this story?

Great characters

What does Beth Chalmers bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book?

Not much, but very good at doing the different voices.

Any additional comments?

Excellent

Silly text, over dramatic narrator

The narrator made a Danish person sound French and clearly hadn't even tried to look up pronunciation of the very few Danish words in the text before recording. It was over-dramatically performed, which made the story even more silly than necessary.

Couldn't finish it

I had to give up half way through this book because I didn't warm to any of the characters and the storyline was very confusing. The narration was a bit monotone. I couldn't get into this book at all which is a shame be because I usually like Fiona Walker's writing

Title: Love Hunt

Author: Fiona Walker

Narrator: Suzy Aitchison

Format: Unabridged

Length: 20 hrs and 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-28-12

Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Fiction, Chick Lit

Publisher's Summary:

The announcement of a grand treasure hunt sets the Lodes Valley ladies' hearts aflutter. The cash is only part of the appeal: A win could solve several romantic dilemmas. Pixie Guinness sees the quest as a route back to her wayward husband while Pheely is spurred into a covert affair. Faith hopes to snare true love, Rory; and Liv - well, Liv just wants distraction from the boredom of country life.

But it is Trudy who finds the trail of clues leads her in quite a different direction and one closer and closer to temptation. Is she chasing a rainbow or just chasing her own tail? As the hunt reaches its climax, the competitors find they are fighting for the highest prize of all - their own happy ending.

Members Reviews:

Great book

I enjoyed reading this book, once I worked out who was who. There's a few steamy scenes, but not too over the top. It has a feel of Jilly Cooper about it.

I thought Four Play was bad

If this book wasnt for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?

Suzy Aitchison makes an early 30's character sound older then his father Piggy, what happened to Finn Cotterills voice? Pixie now sounds like she is 80 years old, and the rest of the characters are no better. I thought Lucy Scott wasn't the best pick for Four Play, but this bites the bullet... and for the love of god her name is Trudy not TWODEE, 1/5 times Suzy correctly pronounces the name, I even went online to read the synopsis to make sure it wasn't Twodee.

Absolutely AWFUL narration. Please Fiona Walker, consistency.

Would you be willing to try another book from Fiona Walker? Why or why not?

Only if it isn't part of the Lodes Valley series, shame as the first 2 books were very good.

How could the performance have been better?

Re narrate the whole series using the same narrator, Beth Chalmers!

You didnt love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Not unless you re-narrate it.

Any additional comments?

Re narrate the whole series using the same narrator, Beth Chalmers!

Not an enjoyable puchase

The storyline hops about too much & I found the narration annoying. I did not feel intrigued by any of the characters. I disliked this title so much I didnt even bother to listen to *part 3.

I would not even bother going back to this story.

This is a good benchmark as usually I listen to my audio titles at least twice, sometimes 3 times.

Bunch of slappers

Not as fluffy romantic as you might think. Most of the people in this have flings with other people, and those looking for love and with morals get ignored, shame.

Title: Sweet Temptation

Author: Lucy Diamond

Narrator: Kate Rawson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 4 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-17-12

Publisher: Isis Publishing Ltd

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes

Genres: Fiction, Chick Lit

Publisher's Summary:

Maddies getting it from all sides. Her bitchy new boss at the radio station humiliates her live on air about her figure, her glamour-puss mum keeps dropping not-so-subtle hints that Maddie should lose weight, and her kids are embarrassed to be seen with her after the disastrous Mums race at their school sports day. Somethings got to change.

Maddie joins the local weight-watching group expecting more humiliation but instead finds two unlikely allies: bitter divorcee Lauren who, despite running a dating agency, has signed off romance forever and shy Jess, the beautician, whos desperate to fit into a size 10 wedding dress for her big day.

Members Reviews:

You cant go wrong with Lucy Diamond!

Straight from the beginning, I really enjoyed this book. It took no effort to get absorbed in the story of the women and it kept me wanting to find out what was to happen, which for me is the sign of a great read/listen too. Highly recommended

How to lose weight and gain a life!

This is a heart-warming story about three quite different women who have all struggled for years with failing diets and feeling that their excess weight defined their personalities. They meet up when they go on a weight loss program. We learn about them, their families, relationships and work issues as the months go by and the pounds drop off, experiencing both highs and lows when they realise that becoming slimmer does not necessarily bring the unalloyed joy they had hoped for and they have to make unexpected adjustments in their views of life. Kate Rawson reads beautifully and brings the women to life in a most appealing way.

More to it than I expected

Any additional comments?

I picked this up because it sounded light and amusing but didn't expect much more than 'froth'. I was wrong. Yes, it's the despised chick-lit but with some good characterisation that struck real chords at times.

I think I was hooked when I heard poor unfit Maddy go through the ritual humiliation of being last by a mile in the torture that is the school sports day mother's race. Of the 3 main characters I found I could relate to Maddie and Jess, less so to Lauren, but I still wanted to find out what happened next. Ended up even looking forward to the commute to work.

I thought the narration was good, and really liked the variety of accents across the cast. It was definitely a lot more interesting than reading a diet book!

Nice easy read that rings true

a book to relate to add actually give ideas. funny and sad but all part of life ;loved it.

Enjoyable tale!

First Lucy Diamond book but I've already added her others to my wishlist! Excellent narration with different accents for the different characters. A very enjoyable listen!

Amazon and B&N Top 100 best-selling romantic comedy and humorous mystery author D. D. Scott two-steps into your heart with Book One of her debut series. It's Chick Lit, Gone-Country. Think Sex and the City meets Urban Cowboy.

Manhattan apparel designer Roxy Rae Vaughn, who's also a still-in-the-closet, country line dancing queen, wants to be a fashion success story. Tired of being nothing more than a Fifth Avenue up-and-comer, thanks to her elitist parents, Roxy moves to Nashville, Tennessee and opens a boutique in a local tractor supply store, the only retail space she can afford. Short on cash and way, way down on luck, she rear-ends a pick-up truck belonging to a tomato-growin', bootscootin' cowboy who is anything but the perfect fit for her career plans, although he is her ideal dance partner. Can Roxy accept that her best fit is on the dance floor moving to her own style and her cowboy's lead?

Tomato farmer by day and bootscootin' instructor by night Zayne McDonald doesn't give a damn about winning Nashville's heirloom tomato contest, even though his late father did. Zayne wants to honor his father, but what he really wants is to line dance his way to a winner's spotlight. When he and Roxy are discovered by a huge dance show producer, Zayne learns it's partnering with Roxy that's his winning hybrid mix. That is, if he can keep her and the tomato contest away from Beefsteak Jack Baudlin, the toughest tomato man in CMT country.
