Who doesn’t love a good meta-level laugh? These Walls Can Talk is an incredibly funny story about a married woman who has the chance to meet her “aural crush”, the narrator she loves the most. The production is amazing, with a whole cast of our favorite narrators. And Erin Mallon, who is both the author and one of the most popular Romance voice actors, really knows what she’s writing (and talking) about when we get a look behind the scenes of audiobook production.
“Is she one of my peaches?”
– “One of your what?”
“Is she in my readers group on Facebook, my Georgia’s Peaches?”

“Yep. They’re my juicy, fuzzy, fruity lovelies with luscious butts and an insatiable desire for sexy stories. It was an obvious choice.”

Call Me Maybe was one of my most unexpected hits among the Audible Plus Romance novels because it’s a super cute story and the perfect Romantic Comedy! I laughed out loud many times and swooned because of the incredibly romantic moments. This hilarious, romantic book lets us listen in on a tech support phone call. When Vera finally catches someone in the hotline of her website company, they end up talking for hours… and then for days… But will they work out in real life?
“I’m one of those people that eats my groceries down to the very last mouthful before I’ll fit in a trip to the store. By day 10, I’m dipping aged cherry tomatoes into a jar of peanutbutter just to get rid of everything.”
– “Oh god, Vera, it doesn’t have to be that way! There are other ways to live!”

Ball Peen Hammer is the gold standard of really funny Romance books! This amazing Romantic Comedy is not only absolutely hilarious, it’s also very steamy with off-the-charts sexual tension and very warm and emotional, making it the absolutely perfect escape for audiobook fans.

I didn’t count how many times that poor doll died, but I can tell you, rarely have children in a Romance novel cracked me up and made me want to feed and cuddle them as much as Rosamund and Daisy in Tessa Dare’s The Governess Game! These two completely captivated my heart. Especially the way Mary Jane Wells read them! As did their swoon-worthy guardian and their lovely governess. This is the all-around amazing, emotional, heartwarming, sexy, laugh-out-loud funny Rom-Com you want! Even if you aren’t usually a Historical Romance reader, you won’t regret this one.

You know what would make a really fun meet-cute? Hitting someone with a car! No really, it makes for a really good meet-cute, promise! While the other Brown Sisters books are already very funny and wonderful, Eve Brown is the funniest and probably even the most lovable of the three. That paired with the setting in a cozy inn in the countryside makes this a book I love to read again and again! Ione Butler delivered perfectly in the audio version and never fails to make me burst out laughing. Interrupted by very intense swooning!

And now he’s becoming the new project of nonbinary YouTuber Sidney. Pete Cross has such perfect comedic timing in the audiobook narration and did a wonderful job with the different voices!
I’ve done a lot of guilt for that moment, but I think for her own penance, Mia plans to fix Mason up with everyone she knows until one sticks… to his crotch. Or I guess his heart. Whatever. She’s gonna marry his ass off as soon as he falls in love with someone for longer than two hours.

Dating-ish

While I found the entire Knitting in the City series super funny and all-around wonderful, Dating-ish is probably the funniest and overall lightest. Marie is a journalist and working on a piece on how well paid services can replace for singles what people would usually find in relationships. Matt, on the other hand, believes that the future of human relationships lies with A.I.. Obviously, they do not need to date each other! Joy Nash is such a great narrator who perfectly brings out the humor and emotions in this book.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink the water that will allow it to enter into a happy, fulfilling relationship. Maybe the horse likes being dehydrated. Or maybe you weren’t that horse’s type. Step back from the stupid dehydrated horse!
