Title: Under Her Spell: A Novel Author: K. L. Cerra Narrator: Phoebe Strole Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 39 minutes Release date: September 10, 2024 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: A woman who returns to her hometown to investigate her childhood friend’s disappearance soon finds herself embroiled in a deadly web of half truths, cover-ups, and dark magic.   On the surface, Liv Edwards has a near-perfect life—a handsome new fiancé, an apartment in Boston, and plans to launch a career in law. No one would suspect how hard she’s worked to conceal the strange darkness that often bubbles up inside her. But Liv’s polished façade threatens to crack with the arrival of a letter from her childhood best friend, Sam. The chilling message is folded into the shape of a heart like the notes they passed in high school: I need help.    Liv is still haunted by what she did to destroy her friendship with Sam. High school was hard enough without having to start over in a new town, but with Sam, Liv grew into herself like never before. Now Liv resolves to do right by Sam—except when she returns to her small New England hometown, she is too late.   Sam has disappeared and clues suggest foul play. To add to the mystery, Sam has transformed over the years, living with the odd girls from high school, Eden and Cora, and working at their esteemed bridal boutique. Liv reconnects with them in search of answers. With couture gowns, exquisite cakes, and a glittering display room, these women make fairy tales come to life, and Liv, too, can be a part of it all. But as Eden and Cora teach her to harness the qualities that have always made her feel different, Liv discovers that a much darker reality may be lurking beneath the satin and pearls—and within herself.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/692303Tue, 10 Sep 2024 00:20:35 +0000pamePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/692303 to listen full audiobooks.

When fledgling writer Zoe arrives at the Sicilian holiday home of famed novelist Don Travers, she feels that she has made it. And yet as the week unfolds it is not Don but his children and unknowable wife, Lydia, who come to intrigue Zoe most.

The historic houses in the seaside town of Beaufort, North Carolina, have held the secrets of their inhabitants for centuries. One of the most enduring refuses to be washed away by the tide: What happened to Rebecca and Townsend Saint James on that fateful night of their disappearance in 1976? Now, the granddaughter they never knew, Keaton Smith, is desperate for a fresh start. So when her mother needs someone to put her childhood home in Beaufort on the market, she jumps at the chance to head south. But the moment she steps foot inside the abandoned house, which has been closed for nearly fifty years, she wonders if she’s bitten off more than she can chew. Wading through the detritus of her grandparents’ lives, Keaton finds herself enchanted by their southern traditions—and their great, big love. As she gets to know her charming next-door neighbor, his precocious ten-year-old son, and a flock of endearingly feisty town busybodies, Keaton begins to wonder if the stories she has been told about her grandparents are true.

Liv Whitlock knows she doesn’t belong there. But after years of stumbling between foster homes, often due to her own self-destructive tendencies, Liv desperately needs to change the trajectory of her life … so she steals her perfect sister’s identity. Liv starts to rewrite her story, winning a prestigious internship on a movie set filming in Alaska, and finds herself on a luxury yacht alongside pop star Paris Grace, actress sisters Effie and Miri Knight, Olympic gymnast Rosalind Torres, and social media influencer Celia Jones.

She can’t get wet. Her vagina, which has never led her astray before, suddenly seems like it might be broken. Surely there must be some way to make sex work for her again?  From doctors to drugs to completely unorthodox remedies, she embarks on a journey of desperation and self-discovery. She’ll try anything to fix it, but maybe desire and long-term love just don’t go together. Sexually frank, wildly funny, psychologically raw, I’m F*cking Amazing marks the fiction debut of a red-hot talent, perfect for fans of Fleabag, Caitlin Moran, and Miranda July.]]>605cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/love-you-mean-it-a-novel-by-jilly-gagnon--65267800https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/702379 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Love You, Mean It: A Novel Author: Jilly Gagnon Narrator: Amanda Ronconi Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 31 minutes Release date: April 30, 2024 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: A playful romantic comedy featuring dueling delis, fake dating, a shockingly awesome ex, and just the right amount of amnesia “[A] delightfully tropey rom-com . . . This is a sweet confection.”—Publishers Weekly Ellie Greco wishes she weren’t stuck in Milborough. For a few brief, shining years, she escaped her hometown to pursue her dream career—designing beautiful, elaborate costumes for theater—until her father's death five years ago called her home to run the family's decades-old deli. Yes, she loves the place, but she’d always thought she was meant for more exciting things than stocking the right tinned fish. But when Ellie hears that a local landlord is planning to rent to Mangia, the glitzy gourmet food department store, the very existence of Greco’s Deli is suddenly in jeopardy. She tries to plead her case to Theo Taylor, scion of the property management firm that is about to put her out of business, but their meeting goes from bad (it’s not her fault he’s infuriating) to worse (no one expects the ceiling to literally fall in). With Theo out cold, Ellie panics and claims to be his fiancée . . . and almost passes out herself when amnesia means Theo seems to actually believe her. Soon, the effects of the head injury wear off, but Theo proposes that their “engagement” stick around. If they manage to convince enough people, they might both get what they want: an end to the Mangia deal. Ellie doesn’t trust him (after all, if Theo Taylor wants it, how can it be good for her?) but seeing no other option, she reluctantly agrees. And miraculously, the fake engagement seems to be working—even Ted, Theo’s shrewd, cold father seems convinced—that is, until Sam, Theo’s ex-fiancée, reappears on the scene. Not only does she see through their ruse, but she proposes an arrangement of her own, forcing Ellie to decide between a blossoming friendship, her family legacy, and the burgeoning romance she frankly never asked for.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/702379Tue, 30 Apr 2024 00:20:35 +0000pamePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/702379 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Mother Act: A Novel Author: Heidi Reimer Narrator: Beth Hicks, Lisa Flanagan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 18 minutes Release date: April 30, 2024 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: Set against the sparkling backdrop of the theater world, this propulsive debut follows the relationship between an actress who refuses to abandon her career and the daughter she chooses to abandon instead. Sadie Jones, a larger-than-life actress and controversial feminist, never wanted to be a mother. No one feels this more deeply than Jude, the daughter Sadie left behind. While Jude spent her childhood touring with her father’s Shakespearian theater company, desperate for validation from the mother she barely knew, Sadie catapulted to fame on the wings of The Mother Act—a scathing one-woman show about motherhood. Two decades later, Jude is a talented actress in her own right, and her fraught relationship with Sadie has come to a scandalous head. On a December evening in New York City, at the packed premiere of Sadie’s latest play, the two come face-to-face and the intertwined stories of their lives unfold—colorfully and dramatically. What emerges is a picture of two very different women navigating the complicated worlds of career, love, and family, all while grappling with the essential question: can they ever really understand each other?

Summer Sullivan, the youngest founding member of Elm Creek Quilts, has spent the last two years pursuing a master’s degree in history at the University of Chicago. Her unexpected return home to the celebrated quilter’s retreat is met with delight but also concern from her mother, Gwen; her best friend, Sarah; master quilter Sylvia; and her other colleagues—and rightly so. Stymied by writer’s block, Summer hasn’t finished her thesis, and she can’t graduate until she does. Elm Creek Manor offers respite while Summer struggles to meet her extended deadline. She finds welcome distraction in organizing an exhibit of antique quilts as a fundraiser to renovate Union Hall, the 1863 Greek Revival headquarters of the Waterford Historical Society. But Summer’s research uncovers startling facts about Waterford’s past, prompting unsettling questions about racism, economic injustice, and political corruption within their community, past and present. As Summer’s work progresses, quilt lovers and history buffs praise the growing collection, but affronted local leaders demand that she remove all references to Waterford’s troubled history. As controversy threatens the exhibit’s success, Summer fears that her pursuit of the truth might cost the Waterford Historical Society their last chance to save Union Hall. Her only hope is to rally the quilting community to her cause. The Museum of Lost Quilts is a warm and deeply moving story about the power of collective memory. With every fascinating quilt she studies, Summer finds her passion for history renewed—and discovers a promising new future for herself.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/702393Tue, 30 Apr 2024 00:20:35 +0000pamePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/702393 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Effie Olsen's Summer Special Author: Rochelle Bilow Narrator: Nikki Massoud Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 19 minutes Release date: April 30, 2024 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: These childhood best friends swore they’d never speak again. But a surprise summer reunion changes everything when it gives them the chance to turn up the heat.   Effie Olsen thought she’d never live on the tiny Maine island where she grew up, but she’s returning from sixteen years as a professional chef in far-flung countries for one summer and one summer only. Her hometown boasts one of the best restaurants in the US, and lucky for her, Brown Butter needs a sous chef. Effie's eager for a chance at redemption after her last job went up in flames, but reluctant to set down roots in a place that reminds her of the ghosts of her past. Until, that is, she runs into Ernie Callahan, her onetime best friend who now works in the very same restaurant. Early morning swims and late-night games of truth or dare with Ernie remind her of what she’s been missing while traveling the world. He knows her better than anyone, and it doesn’t hurt that his smile lights her up brighter than the lighthouses dotting the craggy coastline. But their restaurant has a secret that’s bursting at the seams, and if Effie doesn’t keep it, her job will vanish into the foggy Maine air. As summer draws to a close, her dream job and the perfect guy are both within reach. Her salty seaside hometown might be the key to Effie’s sweet ending...if she can learn to let her heart lead the way in time.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/702376Tue, 30 Apr 2024 00:20:35 +0000pamePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/702376 to listen full audiobooks.

'The perfect alchemy of romance, humor and quirky originality.'—Sophie Cousens, New York Times bestselling author of This Time Next Year and The Good Part A clever con woman must convince a skeptical, sexy farmer of his property's resident real-life ghost if she's to save them all from a fate worse than death, in this delightful new novel from the author of Mrs. Nash's Ashes. Fake spirit medium Gretchen Acorn is happy to help when her best (read: wealthiest) client hires her to investigate the unexplained phenomena preventing the sale of her bridge partner’s struggling goat farm. Gretchen may be a fraud, but she'd like to think she’s a beneficent one. So if 'cleansing' the property will help a nice old man finally retire and put some much-needed cash in her pockets at the same time, who's she to say no? Of course, it turns out said bridge partner isn't the kindly AARP member Gretchen imagined—Charlie Waybill is young, hot as hell, and extremely unconvinced that Gretchen can communicate with the dead. (Which, fair.) Except, to her surprise, Gretchen finds herself face-to-face with Everett: the very real, very chatty ghost that’s been wreaking havoc during every open house. And he wants her to help ensure Charlie avoids the same family curse that's had Everett haunting Gilded Creek since the 1920s. Now, Gretchen has one month to convince Charlie he can’t sell the property. Unfortunately, hard work and honesty seem to be the way to win over the stubborn farmer—not exactly Gretchen's strengths. But trust isn’t the only thing growing between them, and the risk of losing Charlie to the spirit realm looms over Gretchen almost as annoyingly as Everett himself. To save the goat farm, its friendly phantom, and the man she's beginning to love, Gretchen will need to pull off the greatest con of her life: being fully, genuinely herself.

As a teenager, for a moment, Ella Fitchburg found love—yearning, breathless love—that consumed both her and her boyfriend, Jude, as they wandered the streets of New York City together. But her life was unexpectedly upended when she was accused of trying to murder Jude’s father, an imperious superior court judge, and sentenced to twenty-five years in prison. When she learns she’s pregnant shortly after sentencing, she reluctantly decides to give up the child. Ella is released after serving only six years. While she is desperate to turn the page on a new life, she can’t seem to let go of her past. With only an address as a possible lead, she moves to Ann Arbor, Michigan, determined to get her daughter back. Forced to hide her identity and complicated past and live in a constant state of deception, she finds that what she’s been searching for all along is a way to uncover and live with the truth. Yet a central mystery endures: neither Jude nor Ella can remember the events leading up to the attempted murder—that fateful night which led to Ella’s conviction. For fans of Miranda Cowley Heller’s The Paper Palace and Allegra Goodman’s Sam, Caroline Leavitt’s Days of Wonder is a gripping high-drama page-turner about the elusive nature of redemption and the profound reach of love.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/700139Tue, 23 Apr 2024 00:20:35 +0000pamePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/700139 to listen full audiobooks.

Flowers have always been the best communicators. They’ve mastered falling over one another in the perfect way to announce exactly what they need: sunlight, water, space. They do not rush. They do not bloom before their time. They do not take without giving in return… They are nothing like the rest of London. Between trying to keep her north London flower shop, The Lotus, afloat and falling for a flatmate, Lucy Bernstein is going to have to rethink everything she knows about “creative arrangements.” Unwillingly becoming one of eight flatmates in a quirky warehouse conversion would have been difficult enough without any romantic entanglements, but when Lucy lays eyes on Henry Baker, the traveling photographer who only comes home twelve weekends a year, she knows her hands will be full with more than just posies. As each weekend progresses, Lucy also finds herself unexpectedly falling for all her new flatmates, along with this bustling but ultimately sweeter home. Can Lucy learn from the flowers she tends to and bravely reach for all that she needs to bloom?]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/698422Tue, 09 Apr 2024 00:20:35 +0000pamePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/698422 to listen full audiobooks.

The Limits is an immersive and powerful book.” –Rumaan Alam, author of Leave the World Behind From Mo’orea, a tiny volcanic island off the coast of Tahiti, a French biologist obsessed with saving Polynesia’s imperiled coral reefs sends her teenage daughter to live with her ex-husband in New York. By the time fifteen-year-old Pia arrives at her father Stephen’s luxury apartment in Manhattan and meets his new, younger wife, Kate, she has been shuttled between her parents’ disparate lives—her father’s consuming work as a surgeon at an overwhelmed New York hospital, her mother’s relentless drive against a ticking ecological clock—for most of her life. Fluent in French, intellectually precocious, moving between cultures with seeming ease, Pia arrives in New York poised for a rebellion, just as COVID sends her and her stepmother together into near total isolation.  A New York City schoolteacher, Kate struggles to connect with a teenager whose capacity for destruction seems exceeded only by her privilege. Even as Kate fails to parent Pia—and questions her own ability to become a mother—one of her sixteen-year-old students is already caring for a toddler full time. Athyna’s love for her nephew, Marcus, is a burden that becomes heavier as she struggles to finish her senior year online. Juggling her manifold responsibilities, Athyna finds herself more and more anxious every time she leaves the house. Just as her fear of what is waiting for her outside her Staten Island community feels insupportable, an incident at home makes her desperate to leave. When their lives collide, Pia and Athyna spiral toward parallel but inescapably different tragedies. Moving from a South Pacific “paradise,” where rage still simmers against the colonial government and its devastating nuclear tests, to the extreme inequalities of twenty-first century New York City, The Limits is an unforgettably moving novel about nation, race, class, and family. Heart-wrenching and humane, a profound work from one of America’s most prodigiously gifted novelists.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/698397Tue, 09 Apr 2024 00:20:35 +0000pamePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/698397 to listen full audiobooks.

A couple decides to give it a shot in this fun, adventurous novel by Lian Dolan, the popular author of The Sweeney Sisters and Lost and Found in Paris. After twenty-three years of building careers and raising kids together, Jason and Nicole Elswick are ready for a break from their daily lives. Jason has spent years planning his dream sabbatical—ditching work for a nine-month-long motorcycle trip through South America. Problem is, that’s Jason’s dream, not Nicole’s. After years working retail and parenting in Portland, Nicole craves the sun of the Southwest and the artistic community in Santa Fe, where she wants to learn jewelry design. A chance encounter at a dinner party presents a surprising—and intriguing—way out of their dilemma. Over a little too much wine, Jason and Nicole’s married neighbors sing the praises of the 500 Mile Rule: their policy of enjoying themselves however they wish—and with whomever they wish—when they’re temporarily far apart.

Title: What the Mountains Remember Author: Joy Callaway Narrator: Brittany Pressley Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 16 minutes Release date: April 2, 2024 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: 'Joy Callaway weaves a dramatic, heartfelt story of self-discovery and a hard-won love against the stunning backdrop the 'Eighth Wonder of the World.'' --Mary Alice Monroe, New York Times bestselling author of Time is a River At this wondrous resort, secrets can easily be hidden in plain sight when the eye is trained on beauty. April 1913--Belle Newbold hasn't seen mountains for seven years--since her father died in a mining accident and her mother married oil and gas magnate, Shipley Newbold. But when her stepfather's business acquaintance, Henry Ford, invites the family on one of his famous Vagabonds camping tours, she is forced to face the hills once again--primarily in order to reunite with her future fiancé, owner of the land the Vagabonds are using for their campsite, a man she's only met once before. It is a veritable arranged marriage, but she prefers it that way. Belle isn't interested in love. She only wants a simple life--a family of her own and the stability of a wealthy man's pockets. That's what Worth Delafield has promised to give her and it's worth facing the mountains again, the reminder of the past, and her poverty, to secure her future. But when the Vagabonds group is invited to tour the unfinished Grove Park Inn and Belle is unexpectedly thrust into a role researching and writing about the building of the inn--a construction the locals are calling The Eighth Wonder of the World--she quickly realizes that these mountains are no different from the ones she once called home. As Belle peels back the facade of Grove Park Inn, of Worth, of the society she's come to claim as her own, and the truth of her heart, she begins to see that perhaps her part in Grove Park's story isn't a coincidence after all. Perhaps it is only by watching a wonder rise from ordinary hands and mountain stone that she can finally find the strength to piece together the long-destroyed path toward who she was meant to be. International bestselling author Joy Callaway returns with a story of the ordinary people behind extraordinary beauty--and the question of who gets to tell their stories.

From bestselling author and award-winning journalist Jo Piazza, comes 'A Journey to the Boot of Italy, With Murder, Romance and Ricotta” (The New York Times) about a disputed inheritance and a family secret that some will kill to protect . . . Sara Marsala barely knows who she is anymore after the failure of her business and marriage. On top of that, her beloved great-aunt Rosie passes away, leaving Sara bereft with grief. But Aunt Rosie’s death also opens an escape from her life and a window into the past by way of a plane ticket to Sicily, a deed to a possibly valuable plot of land, and a bombshell family secret. Rosie believes Sara’s great-grandmother Serafina, the family matriarch who was left behind while her husband worked in America, didn’t die of illness as family lore has it . . . she was murdered. Thus begins a twist-filled adventure that takes Sara all over the picturesque Italian countryside as she races to solve a mystery and learn the story of Serafina—a feisty and headstrong young woman in the early 1900s thrust into motherhood in her teens, who fought for a better life not just for herself but for all the women of her small village. Unsurprisingly the more she challenges the status quo, the more she finds herself in danger. As Sara discovers more about Serafina, she also realizes she is coming head-to-head with the same menacing forces that took down her great-grandmother. At once an immersive multigenerational mystery and an ode to the undaunted heroism of everyday women, The Sicilian Inheritance is an atmospheric, page-turning delight.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/698133Tue, 02 Apr 2024 00:20:35 +0000pamePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/698133 to listen full audiobooks.

Rosie believes Sara’s great-grandmother Serafina, the family matriarch who was left behind while her husband worked in America, didn’t die of illness as family lore has it . . . she was murdered. Thus begins a twist-filled adventure that takes Sara all over the picturesque Italian countryside as she races to solve a mystery and learn the story of Serafina—a feisty and headstrong young woman in the early 1900s thrust into motherhood in her teens, who fought for a better life not just for herself but for all the women of her small village. Unsurprisingly the more she challenges the status quo, the more she finds herself in danger. As Sara discovers more about Serafina, she also realizes she is coming head-to-head with the same menacing forces that took down her great-grandmother. At once an immersive multigenerational mystery and an ode to the undaunted heroism of everyday women, The Sicilian Inheritance is an atmospheric, page-turning delight.]]>605cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/american-daughters-a-novel-by-piper-huguley--65267865https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/697325 to listen full audiobooks.

Washington and President Teddy Roosevelt. At the turn of the twentieth century, in a time of great change, two women—separated by societal status and culture but bound by their expected roles as the daughters of famed statesmen—forged a lifelong friendship.  Portia Washington’s father Booker T.

Germany, 1946: Emmy Clarke is a librarian not a soldier. But that doesn’t stop the Library of Congress from sending her overseas to Germany to help the Monuments Men retrieve and catalog precious literature that was plundered by the Nazis. The Offenbach Archival Depot and its work may get less attention than returning art to its rightful owners, but for Emmy, who sees the personalized messages on the inside of the books and the notes in margins of pages, it feels just as important. On Emmy’s first day at work, she finds a poetry collection by Rainer Maria Rilke, and on the title page is a handwritten dedication: “To Annelise, my brave Edelweiss Pirate.” Emmy is instantly intrigued by the story behind the dedication and becomes determined to figure out what happened. The hunt for the rightful owner of the book leads Emmy to two sisters, a horrific betrayal, and an extraordinary protest against the Nazis that was held in Berlin at the height of the war. Nearly a decade earlier, hundreds of brave women gathered in the streets after their Jewish husbands were detained by the Gestapo. Through freezing rain and RAF bombings, the women faced down certain death and did what so few others dared to do under the Third Reich. They said no.

Soon, Sally finds herself leading an extremely unusual self-help group, and among them there are four bodies to hide. Can they all figure out the perfect way to bury their husbands . . . and get away with it? First to join is former nurse, Ruth, who met her husband as a single mom.

Janey, Sally’s best friend, has just had her first child at forty-two. Sleep-deprived Janey needs a hero to slay the monster in the fairy tales she whispers to her daughter each night . . . and as her husband’s violence escalates, it might just be her. Together, fueled by righteous anger but tempered by a moral core, the four women must help each other work out a plan to get rid of their husbands for good. Along the way, Sally, Ruth, Samira and Janey rediscover old joys and embark on new passions in work, education, and life.

Sometimes the truth lies in the things you cannot see. In 1830 a young novice called Catherine Labouré was granted a vision of the Virgin Mary. Nearly 200 years later, Sister Anne is also waiting for a sign. Which is why she accepts a mission to go to a tiny community on an island just off the coast of Brittany. Her only companion there is a sceptical, chain-smoking older nun who just wants to be left in peace. On the island she meets Hugo, the son of a devout family who prefers to look for the meaning of life amid the stars; Madenn, a grandmother whose daughter was killed in a crash and who finds meaning in routine; Isaac, Madenn's grandson, an otherworldly teenager who doesn't fit in but who befriends Hugo, and Julia, a sickly child. If anyone needs a miracle, it is her. But it is not Sister Anne who receives a vision. Instead it is Isaac who is found on a promontary, transfixed, unable to utter more than the words 'I see'. The event soon becomes headline news and the world descends on the small island, opening old wounds and unleashing a chain of events none of them could have foreseen. ©2024 Victoria Mas (P)2024 Penguin Audio]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/695000Thu, 14 Mar 2024 00:20:35 +0000pamePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/695000 to listen full audiobooks.

Esther Larson has been cooking for funerals in the Northwoods of Wisconsin for seventy years. Known locally as the “funeral ladies,” she and her cohort have worked hard to keep the mourners of Ellerie County fed—it is her firm belief that there is very little a warm casserole and a piece of cherry pie can’t fix. But, after falling for an internet scam that puts her home at risk, the proud Larson family matriarch is the one in need of help these days. Iris, Esther’s whip-smart Gen Z granddaughter, would do anything for her family and her community. As she watches her friends and family move out of their lakeside town onto bigger and better things, Iris wonders why she feels so left behind in the place she is desperate to make her home. But when Cooper Welsh shows up, she finally starts to feel like she’s found the missing piece of her puzzle. Cooper is dealing with becoming a legal guardian to his younger half-sister after his beloved stepmother dies. While their celebrity-chef father is focused on his booming career and top-ranked television show, Cooper is still hurting from a public tragedy he witnessed last year as a paramedic and finding it hard to cope. With Iris in the gorgeous Ellerie County, though, he hopes he might finally find the home he’s been looking for. It doesn’t seem like a community cookbook could possibly solve their problems, especially one where casseroles have their own section and cream of chicken soup mix is the most frequently used ingredient. But when you mix the can-do spirit of Midwestern grandmothers with the stubborn hope of a boy raised by food plus a dash of long-awaited forgiveness—things might just turn out okay.

Arden Moore enjoyed an affluent life thanks to her husband’s high-paying job. But a year after his death, the 36-year-old is a grieving single mother deeply in debt and living paycheck to paycheck with her three children. Then an unexpected call from a well-known estate lawyer in New York offers a glimmer of hope. It is the beginning of a complex legal journey that could mean the difference between a life of abject poverty and unthinkable wealth thanks to her father, deceased billionaire Wallace Barclay. Thirty years before, Arden’s mother Virginia Bunt, a flirtatious love addict with a string of failed affairs, met Wallace, an encounter that transformed her life. When he died unexpectedly without a will, Virginia fought to secure a comfortable future for her and the secret unborn daughter she shared with Wallace. Yet despite her best efforts, society and the legal system prevented her from receiving the money that should rightfully have been hers.

Yet despite her best efforts, society and the legal system prevented her from receiving the money that should rightfully have been hers. Now, though, with changes in the legal system and science, her daughter Arden may finally succeed in claiming the inheritance that has been long denied. Told from both Arden and Virginia’s viewpoints, straddling past and present, and moving from Toronto to New York City, The Inheritance is a poignant portrait of familial bonds, haunting pasts, the collateral damage of life choices, and the promise of hopeful futures as two venerable women fight for the life they deserve.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/sylvia-s-second-act-a-novel-by-hillary-yablon--65267874https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/697185 to listen full audiobooks.

The objectors. Their job? To break off weddings as hired. Their dilemma? They might just be in love with each other.   When Sophie Steinbeck finds out just before her nuptials that her fiancé has cheated yet again, she desperately wants to call it off. But because her future father-in-law is her dad’s cutthroat boss, she doesn’t want to be the one to do it. Her savior comes in the form of a professional objector, whose purpose is to show up at weddings and proclaim the words no couple (usually) wants to hear at their ceremony: “I object!”   During anti-wedding festivities that night, Sophie learns more about Max the Objector’s job. It makes perfect sense to her: he saves people from wasting their lives, from hurting each other. He’s a modern-day hero. And Sophie wants in.   The two love cynics start working together, going from wedding to wedding, and Sophie’s having more fun than she’s had in ages. She looks forward to every nerve-racking ceremony saving the lovesick souls of the betrothed masses. As Sophie and Max spend more time together, however, they realize that their physical chemistry is off the charts, leading them to dabble in a little hookup session or two—but it’s totally fine, because they definitely do not have feelings for each other. Love doesn’t exist, after all.   And then everything changes. A groom-to-be hires Sophie to object, but his fiancée is the woman who broke Max’s heart. As Max wrestles with whether he can be a party to his ex’s getting hurt, Sophie grapples with the sudden realization that she may have fallen hard for her partner in crime.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/697177Tue, 12 Mar 2024 00:20:35 +0000pamePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/697177 to listen full audiobooks.

Seductive and bold, tense and unflinching, The Last Verse is the story of a woman’s ambitions, obsessions, and determination to claim her voice.]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-haunting-of-velkwood-by-gwendolyn-kiste--65267893https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/693920 to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Haunting of Velkwood Author: Gwendolyn Kiste Narrator: Jennifer Pickens Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 37 minutes Release date: March 5, 2024 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: From Bram Stoker Award­–winning author Gwendolyn Kiste comes a chilling novel about three childhood friends who miraculously survive the night everyone in their suburban hometown turned into ghosts—perfect for fans of Yellowjackets. The Velkwood Vicinity was the topic of occult theorists, tabloid one-hour documentaries, and even some pseudo-scientific investigations as the block of homes disappeared behind a near-impenetrable veil that only three survivors could enter—and only one has in the past twenty years, until now. Talitha Velkwood has avoided anything to do with the tragedy that took her mother and eight-year-old sister, drifting from one job to another, never settling anywhere or with anyone, feeling as trapped by her past as if she was still there in the small town she so desperately wanted to escape from. When a new researcher tracks her down and offers to pay her to come back to enter the vicinity, Talitha claims she’s just doing it for the money. Of all the crackpot theories over the years, no one has discovered what happened the night Talitha, her estranged, former best friend Brett, and Grace, escaped their homes twenty years ago. Will she finally get the answers she’s been looking for all these years, or is this just another dead end? Award-winning author Gwendolyn Kiste has created a suburban ghost story about a small town that trapped three young women who must confront the past if they’re going to have a future.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/693920Tue, 05 Mar 2024 00:20:35 +0000pamePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/693920 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Memory of Lavender and Sage Author: Aimie K. Runyan Narrator: Caroline Hewitt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 28 minutes Release date: March 5, 2024 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: “A standout voice in women’s fiction. I was captivated from the very first line.” — Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Summer of Songbirds Perhaps the secrets of her mother’s past in this tiny French town hold the key to her own future. . . Food critic Tempèsta Luddington has always felt like the odd person out in her family, ever since she lost her beloved mother at the tender age of thirteen. When her workaholic father passes fifteen years later, Tempèsta is not surprised that the majority of the considerable family money will pass to her dutiful younger brother, Wal. Still, she is left a modest remembrance from her mother, and for the first time Tempèsta has a world of choices before her. Lost in grief and hoping to reconnect with her memories and her mother’s past, she uses the money to buy a ramshackle manor house in Sainte-Colombe, a small village in Provence, where her mother had grown up. But she is greeted with more questions than answers. Her welcome, especially by the town’s stodgy mayor, is cold at best, and she finds herself wondering if the entire experiment was a mistake. Yet she stays, stubbornly sticking it out, slowly learning that her mother’s legacy was more than just a nest egg. Through her mother and the village, Tempèsta learns the value of community and friendship, the importance of self-confidence, and the power of love and trust. What’s more, she sees for herself that there is magic and beauty in the everyday—even something as simple as a sprig of lavender and sage. “For readers who love Under the Tuscan Sun and Chocolat, this is your next heartfelt, delightful read.” —Jennifer Moorman, bestselling author of The Baker's Man - A dreamy escape into Southern France from bestselling author Aimie K.

When Anne Elliott broke up with Ben Wentworth, it seemed like the right thing to do . . . but now, eight years later, she’s not so sure. In her scenic hometown of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Anne is comfortable focusing on her successful career: filling her late mother’s shoes as town councilor and executive director of her theater company. She certainly keeps busy as the all-around wrangler of eccentric locals, self-centered family members, elaborate festivals, and the occasional attacking goose. But the more she tries to convince herself that her life is fine as is, the more it all feels like a show—and not nearly as good as the ones put on by her theater company. She’s the always responsible Anne, always taken for granted and cleaning up after other people, and the memories of happier times with Ben Wentworth still haunt her. So when the nearby Kellynch Winery is bought by Ben’s aunt and uncle, Anne’s world is set ablaze as her old flame crashes back into her life—and it’s clear he hasn’t forgiven her for breaking his heart. A joint project between the winery and Anne’s theater forces both Ben and Anne to confront their complicated history, and as they spend more time together, Anne can’t help but wonder if there might be hope for their future after all.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/692258Tue, 27 Feb 2024 00:20:35 +0000pamePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/692258 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Painter's Daughters: A Novel Author: Emily Howes Narrator: Gemma Lawrence, Louise Brealey Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 56 minutes Release date: February 27, 2024 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: A “beautifully written” (Hilary Mantel), “fascinating” (The Washington Post) story of love, madness, sisterly devotion, and control, about the two beloved daughters of renowned 1700s English painter Thomas Gainsborough, who struggle to live up to the perfect image the world so admired in their portraits. Peggy and Molly Gainsborough—the daughters of one of England’s most famous portrait artists of the 1700s and the frequent subject of his work—are best friends. They spy on their father as he paints, rankle their mother as she manages the household, and run barefoot through the muddy fields that surround their home. But there is another reason they are inseparable: from a young age, Molly periodically experiences bouts of mental confusion, even forgetting who she is, and Peggy instinctively knows she must help cover up her sister’s condition. When the family moves to Bath, it’s not so easy to hide Molly’s slip-ups. There, the sisters are thrown into the whirlwind of polite society, where the codes of behavior are crystal clear. Molly dreams of a normal life but slides deeper and more publicly into her delusions. Peggy knows the shadow of an asylum looms for women like Molly, and she goes to greater lengths to protect her sister’s secret. But when Peggy unexpectedly falls in love with her father’s friend, the charming composer Johann Fischer, the sisters’ precarious situation is thrown catastrophically off course. Her burgeoning love for Johann sparks the bitterest of betrayals, forcing Peggy to question all she has done for Molly, and whether any one person can truly change the fate of another. A tense and tender examination of the blurred lines between protection and control, The Painter’s Daughter is an “engaging, transporting” (The Guardian) look at the real girls behind the canvas. Emily Howes’s debut is a stunning exploration of devotion, control, and individuality; it is a love song to sisterhood, to the many hues of life, and to being looked at but never really seen.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/693927Tue, 27 Feb 2024 00:20:35 +0000pamePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/693927 to listen full audiobooks.

Persephone Honeyfield is witty, intelligent, and very aware that the only way to escape the monotony of the life she shares with her father and sister in the English countryside—and the wagging, ever-critical tongues of the people around her—is through marriage. She also knows the likelihood of it being a love match is nearly zero. Aidon Barrington has carried on the legacy of his family’s funeral furnishing business, losing himself in the process. A shell of his former charming self, he’s traded his reputation as a rake for that of a recluse and regularly appears in the scandal sheets as London’s mysterious Lord of the Dead. When Persephone finds herself at Gallowsgate—the old Barrington estate—on a seemingly simple errand, an unexpected run-in with the Lord of the Dead himself leaves her on the brink of ruination. With no other way to silence the village rumor mill, or save her sister’s reputation, Persephone agrees to marry Aidon, becoming the wife of a man she hardly knows. Persephone finds herself increasingly fascinated by her new husband, whose kind, patient nature stands in stark contrast to the ever-swirling rumors about him.

Every American waits with bated breath to see whether or not the country’s first female president will pass the Forgiveness Act. The bill would allow Black families to claim up to $175,000 if they can prove they are the descendants of slaves, and for ambitious single mother Willie Revel the bill could be a long-awaited form of redemption. A decade ago, Willie gave up her burgeoning journalism career to help run her father’s struggling construction company in Philadelphia and she has reluctantly put family first, without being able to forget who she might have become. Now she’s back living with her parents and her young daughter while trying to keep her family from going into bankruptcy. Could the Forgiveness Act uncover her forgotten roots while also helping save their beloved home and her father’s life’s work? In order to qualify, she must first prove that the Revels are descended from slaves, but the rest of the family isn’t as eager to dig up the past. Her mother is adopted, her father doesn’t trust the government and believes working with a morally corrupt employer is the better way to save their business, and her daughter is just trying to make it through the fifth grade at her elite private school without attracting unwanted attention.

Roommates since college, Jess and Ren have built a strong—if at times codependent—friendship. Now navigating their late thirties, the women co-own a weathered beachfront home, comother a rescued shelter pup and have inadvertently centered their lives around each other. Jess is clever and driven with a lucrative career running her own real estate brokerage. Magnetic but aimless, Ren has been making margaritas at the same local dive and teaching dance classes at the same run-down gym for well over a decade.

Discovering she's listed as next of kin, Yasmiin looks to her friend's past to try and understand her actions, uncovering fresh mysteries at every turn. All the while, her own life seems to be running off course. Kemi seems to have it all: a high-powered job, a beautiful flat, a loving boyfriend. So why doesn't she feel more settled? Unsure whether its homesickness, heartsickness or sick-and-tired-of-the-same-old-sickness, she embarks on a destructive path to try and change things up. Brittany-Rae doesn't remember the woman she was before she met her husband Jonny. She knows she was an ambitious, confident go-getter, but now she's faded into Jonny's domineering shadow. And as she unearths disturbing secrets about her husband, she's focused on only one thing: her daughter, Maya, and ensuring she is as far away from Jonny as possible. The three women's lives begin to overlap in the most unexpected of circumstances. Is it possible that the answer to their problems - though it seems impossible - lie in one another's hands? Praise for the author: 'A sharply written story with messy, deeply moving characters.' TAYLOR JENKINS REID 'There's energy in the writing from the first page. Åkerström doesn't draw you into the story, she pulls you in with force.' THE TIMES 'I was captivated by the writing from page one... Powerful.'

Rupert Campbell-Black, undefeated race-horse owner and handsomest man in the world, is in the darkest of places. His adored wife, Taggie, is about to undergo chemotherapy, his beloved horse Love Rat has died, and now his daughter Bianca wants him to buy a languishing local football club - a sport Rupert knows nothing about - so she can return to Rutshire with her football star husband.

She was the only human being down at the lake. Elbows, in need of a slather of moisturiser, pointed at the clouds; breasts, lifted to pre-children perkiness; baby belly stretched and flattened. She stretched her arms out wide as she started to walk barefoot into the lake. Peering down into the clear water, she pulled down her goggles. It was time to plunge forwards, succumbing to the embrace of the water. It was as if she were flying. For friends Stevie, Holly and Angela, the last few years haven't been kind. With marriage breakdowns and sacrifices, their only moments of peace come when they are outside in the wild waters of the Lake District. Now it's time for these three women to love themselves, just as they love the cold, and take charge of their own happiness in this uplifting and meditative novel of friendship and the healing power of nature.

Title: Someone Always Nearby: A Novel of Maria Chabot and Georgia O’Keeffe Author: Susan Wittig Albert Narrator: Maria Mccann Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 46 minutes Release date: November 7, 2023 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: In 1940, art-world icon Georgia O'Keeffe bought a house in a mountain-rimmed New Mexico desert, planning to live there for six months every year. To manage her remote household while she paints, O'Keeffe invited Maria Chabot—a young and naïve would-be writer—to join her. Their tempestuous relationship endured throughout the chaotic years of WW2, the death of Georgia's domineering, philandering husband (famed photographer Alfred Stieglitz), and Maria's design and building of a remarkable adobe house and studio for the artist in the native village of Abiquiu—a generous gift from an exceptional friend. An evocative story that explores the dimensions of friendship and the debts we incur to those who make our lives easier, Someone Always Nearby is based on research into a massive collection of over 700 letters, documents, media reports, and historical accounts. Listeners will be fascinated by this intimate, revealing portrait of the artist's daily life during her first decade at her New Mexico ranch—a mysterious, enigmatic O'Keeffe that only one woman ever fully knew.

Title: [Spanish] - Orlando Author: Virginia Woolf Narrator: Neus Sendra Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 30 minutes Release date: September 21, 2023 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: La novela más popular y escandalosa de Virginia Woolf. «Virginia Woolf es dios, nadie ha escrito mejor.» Milena Busquets 80 ANIVERSARIO DE VIRGINIA WOOLF Desde que se publicó en 1928, Orlando ha sido una de las novelas más populares de Virginia Woolf por su originalidad y espíritu transgresor. Cuenta las peripecias de un joven aristócrata inglés, apuesto, rico, seductor y amante de la literatura -figura inspirada en la vida y la personalidad de la escritora Vita Sackville-West, gran amiga de la autora- que cabalga la Historia con mayúsculas desde el siglo XVI hasta el siglo XX y que, durante el reinado de Carlos II, se convierte en mujer. Esta peculiar mudanza de épocas y sexo supone un viaje por el tiempo, los espacios y las emociones, además de una meditación estimulante sobre la creación artística. Reseñas: «Un clásico que recomiendo siempre, una obra adictiva, inspiradora, elegante e irónica, con una devoción especial por la naturaleza porque Orlando ama los árboles, el campo y a los perros. Además, ayuda a relativizarlo todo ya que ofrece una perspectiva temporal (cinco siglos) que pone cada cosa en su sitio. [...] Un enorme bálsamo.» Pilar Adón, El Cultural de El Mundo ('¿Qué lee un escritor en cuarentena'?) «Igual que James Joyce y Marcel Proust dominó el manejo del flujo de conciencia de los personajes, pero ella añade un valor extra, la sensibilidad femenina.» Maria Vargas Llosa «La verdadera obra de arte va siempre más allá de los límites establecidos: se desparrama, se emborracha, se queda despierta contigo hasta la madrugada... te ofrece una oportunidad de ser otro.» Jeanette Winterson, en A propósito de Orlando «He aquí una novela especial y espectral.» Antón Castro, Heraldo de Aragón «Woolf fue una de las grandes innovadoras de la década de 1920.» The Guardian «Virginia Woolf hace con el lenguaje lo que Jimi Hendrix con la guitarra.» Michael Cunningham «En la obra de Virginia Woolf se dieron unas cualidades heredadas y una voluntad inédita e irrepetible en la historia de la cultura inglesa.» T. S. Eliot «Virginia Woolf sostuvo la luz de la lengua inglesa contra la oscuridad.» E. M. Forster «Acabé queriendo leer y releer todo lo que Virginia Woolf había leído y sobre lo que había escrito.» Ali Smith «[Una escritora] extraordinaria, más novelesca que sus novelas.» Victoria Ocampo «Qué escritora más inmensa, más severa y rotunda en su enfado de mujer harta de limitaciones.» Antonio Muñoz Molina]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/699759Thu, 21 Sep 2023 00:20:35 +0000pamePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/699759 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Wren, The Wren Author: Anne Enright Narrator: Aoife Duffin, Owen Roe, Anne Enright, Liza Ross Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 39 minutes Release date: September 19, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: An incandescent novel from one of our greatest living novelists (The Times) about the inheritance of trauma, wonder, and love across three generations of women. Nell McDaragh never knew her grandfather, the celebrated Irish poet Phil McDaragh. But his love poems seem to speak directly to her. Restless and wryly self-assured, at twenty-two Nell leaves her mother Carmel’s orderly home to find her own voice as a writer (mostly online, ghost-blogging for an influencer) and to live a poetical life. As she chases obsessive love, damage, and transcendence in Dublin and beyond, her grandfather’s poetry seems to guide her home.Nell’s mother, Carmel McDaragh, knows the magic of her Daddo’s poetry too well—the kind of magic that makes women in their nighties slip outside for a kiss and then elope, as her mother Terry had done. In his poems to Carmel, Phil envisions his daughter as a bright-eyed wren ascending in escape from his hand. But it is Phil who departs, abandoning his wife and two young daughters. Carmel struggles to reconcile “the poet” with the father whose desertion scars her life, along with that of her fiercely dutiful sister and their gentle, cancer-ridden mother. To distance herself from this betrayal Carmel turns inward, raising Nell, her daughter and one trusted love, alone.The Wren, the Wren brings to life three generations of McDaragh women who must contend with inheritances—of poetic wonder and of abandonment by a man who is lauded in public and carelessly selfish at home. Their other, stronger inheritance is a sustaining love that is “more than a strand of DNA, but a rope thrown from the past, a fat twisted rope, full of blood.” In knife-sharp prose studded with crystalline poetry, Anne Enright masterfully braids a family story of longing, betrayal, and hope.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/698527Tue, 19 Sep 2023 00:20:35 +0000pamePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/698527 to listen full audiobooks.

Just me, Noah and our teenage daughter Maya. The day the police knock at our door, telling us about the car accident, is the worst day of my life. My heart shatters, but what they say next almost makes it stop beating: Noah was in the car with another woman who died at the scene. Her two-year-old girl, Luna, miraculously survived. With Noah fighting for his life, I’m desperate for the truth, and when I search his desk, I find checks made out to Luna’s mother. Did my loving, loyal husband have a secret family all along? Despite my own terrible pain, at the hospital I can’t help but comfort this poor child as she cries for her mommy. With nowhere else for Luna to go, I find myself opening our home. Seeing Maya hold Luna’s hand and giggle as they chase butterflies in the garden, it’s almost like my daughter has a sister… I have an impossible choice. Do I tell Maya the truth about her father? If Noah wakes up, will even more secrets come out about who he really is? And can I forgive him enough to give this sweet, innocent girl a home…or will my husband’s betrayal tear us all apart?

When the opportunity to act as companion to her spinster aunt presents itself, she jumps at the chance to escape the Marriage Mart and embark on a new adventure. Upon her eventful arrival in the tiny Yorkshire village, though, she finds herself confronted with a man who both piques her interest and provokes her pride.

Forty-nine and sweating through the hottest summer on record, Beatrice Billings is rudderless: her marriage is stale, her son communicates solely through cryptic text messages, her mother has dementia, and she conducts endless arguments with her older sister in her head. Toronto feels like an inadequately air-conditioned museum of its former self, and the same could be said of her life. She dreams of the past, her days as a newlywed, a new mom, a new homeowner gutting the kitchen—now the only novel experience that looms is the threat of divorce. Everything changes when she googles 'escape' and discovers the world of amateur lock-picking. Breaking into houses is thrilling: she’s subtle and discreet, never greedy, but as her curiosity about other people’s lives becomes a dangerous compulsion and the entire city feels a few degrees from boiling over, she realizes she must turn her guilty analysis on herself.

Title: Escape to Starshine Cove: An utterly feel good holiday romance to escape with Series: #1 of Starshine Cove Author: Debbie Johnson Narrator: Colleen Prendergast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 46 minutes Release date: August 2, 2023 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: The perfect feel-good read from the million-copy bestselling author. Guaranteed to give you all the feels and put a big, fat smile on your face! ❤️ “I was hooked… had me wiping away the tears… you could feel the warmth coming from the pages and I was left with a starshine glow as I read! Wonderful location, lovable characters and a heart-warming read...what more could I ask for!” Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ella Farrell has reached breaking point. Shattered by her job and her boyfriend’s recent betrayal, she grabs her stuff and flees down the coast. When her car breaks down a few miles short of Cornwall, she’s astonished by what she finds. Not on any map, the tiny seaside village of Starshine Cove is too perfect for words. A cobbled lane lined with pretty, thatched cottages slopes towards a pristine white beach… has she finally lost it, or is this place for real? Spotting a little café perched on the edge of the cove, Ella settles into a slice of homemade raspberry cheesecake and finds herself charmed by Connie, the café’s chatty, Dolly Parton-lookalike owner. And, as days unexpectedly turn into weeks, Ella warms to the quirky seaside village and its residents, especially the stunning Jake, landlord of the Starshine Inn. Ella’s heart does a little flip-flop whenever their eyes meet. Jake also came to Starshine Cove by chance – was he running away from something? Just as Ella feels the tension she’s carried for so long starting to ease, the past comes knocking on her rustic, driftwood door. Will Ella find the strength to embrace this place and forge a new path, or is Starshine Cove – and her growing connection with Jake – simply too good a dream to last? From the beloved bestselling author of the Comfort Food Café series, this is a heart-warming tale of second chances, self-discovery, and the extraordinary healing power of a community that finds you when you need it most.

Title: Escape to Starshine Cove: An utterly feel good holiday romance to escape with Series: #1 of Starshine Cove Author: Debbie Johnson Narrator: Colleen Prendergast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 46 minutes Release date: August 2, 2023 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: The perfect feel-good read from the million-copy bestselling author. Guaranteed to give you all the feels and put a big, fat smile on your face! ❤️ “I was hooked… had me wiping away the tears… you could feel the warmth coming from the pages and I was left with a starshine glow as I read! Wonderful location, lovable characters and a heart-warming read...what more could I ask for!” Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ella Farrell has reached breaking point. Shattered by her job and her boyfriend’s recent betrayal, she grabs her stuff and flees down the coast. When her car breaks down a few miles short of Cornwall, she’s astonished by what she finds. Not on any map, the tiny seaside village of Starshine Cove is too perfect for words. A cobbled lane lined with pretty, thatched cottages slopes towards a pristine white beach… has she finally lost it, or is this place for real? Spotting a little café perched on the edge of the cove, Ella settles into a slice of homemade raspberry cheesecake and finds herself charmed by Connie, the café’s chatty, Dolly Parton-lookalike owner. And, as days unexpectedly turn into weeks, Ella warms to the quirky seaside village and its residents, especially the stunning Jake, landlord of the Starshine Inn. Ella’s heart does a little flip-flop whenever their eyes meet. Jake also came to Starshine Cove by chance – was he running away from something? Just as Ella feels the tension she’s carried for so long starting to ease, the past comes knocking on her rustic, driftwood door. Will Ella find the strength to embrace this place and forge a new path, or is Starshine Cove – and her growing connection with Jake – simply too good a dream to last? From the beloved bestselling author of the Comfort Food Café series, this is a heart-warming tale of second chances, self-discovery, and the extraordinary healing power of a community that finds you when you need it most. Readers LOVE Escape to Starshine Cove: “Definitely a five-star read! I started reading Escape to Starshine Cove and could... not... stop! Finished it in one afternoon.” Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Love love love this book. So not predictable… This book has it all, heartbreak in more than one form, love again in more than one form, hope, escapism… I can't wait for book two.” Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I was so utterly invested in Ella and Jake. It was absolutely one of my favorites this summer that I have read. I will remember this long after I put it away. This will become one of my books I have to reread every so often. I loved it.” Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “You will fall in love with this small town. It has all the charm! You will love the characters.” Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I was hooked into this book from the very first page… I loved the idea of the little cove and could picture it as I read… some of the storylines did have me wiping away the tears… you could at times feel the warmth coming out through the pages and I was left with a starshine glow as I read! Wonderful location, lovable characters and a heart-warming read...what more could I ask for!” Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I adored reading Escape to Starshine Cove. I felt like I really identified myself with this story. Sometimes it does take that little push and a leap of faith to take you to exactly where you need to go or be… Debbie Johnson left me completely and utterly in love with Starshine Cove. I hope I find my happy place soon.” Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A beautiful story from an author who never disappoints.” Reader review,...]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/no-quarter-asked-by-janet-dailey--65267931https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/694326 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Imperfection of Us: A story of beginnings, endings and everything in between Author: Nick Alexander Narrator: Chris Harper, Imogen Church Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 22 minutes Release date: July 21, 2023 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: ‘What if I am meant to be with one person for life?’ I asked. Mum paused thoughtfully before she replied. ‘Then maybe, Dawn, Billy’s not the one. Maybe you need to find yourself someone boring. Not boring… but someone a bit more normal perhaps?’ I was dressed in purple Doc Martens boots, olive-green leggings and a tartan skirt – an outfit I’d chosen so it would appear to have been carelessly thrown together. Billy had on a shiny green US Air Force jumpsuit. He told me it was what he wore every day and grinned broadly as if that was something to be proud of. I fell for him there and then. He was unlike anyone I’d ever met, and that made him kind of hard to resist. Where my friends were all trying to follow the latest trends, Billy just seemed to invent his own. He had star-quality even then. You could tell he’d be something special one day. Perhaps it was just luck that I met Billy that night, though it always felt more important than that – like he was the one person on the planet I needed to find. But then suddenly Billy was gone and into the vacuum stepped Rob. Reliable, dependable Rob. He told me that he loved me – said he was one of the 'good ones.' And maybe Mum was right. Maybe I did need someone a bit boring. Now the years have gone by and here we are, Rob and I, eating pizza and watching Gogglebox. We both laugh at some joke on the telly and when I glance over I get a warm sort of feeling that seems to say, ‘This is all right, isn’t it?’ Is that love? Even now, I’m not sure. But if it isn’t, it’s still pretty nice. My thoughts drift to seventeen-year-old me kissing Billy in his bedroom, a Patti Smith song playing in the background. And I try to remember what we had back then, because it definitely wasn’t ‘nice’. Sexy, exciting… all-consuming, perhaps. What if I could have that again? An emotional, thought-provoking, and refreshingly honest exploration of relationships, The Imperfection of Us will have you turning pages blurred by tears of sadness and laughter, desperate to find out what the future holds for feisty Dawn and sweet, reliable Rob. Oh, and Billy, of course. Let’s not forget Billy. Because Dawn certainly never has. Read what everyone is saying about The Imperfection of Us: ‘This book emotionally wrecked me. I laughed. I cried.

Con humor, ternura y una prosa delicadísima, Marie Gouiric se pregunta quién aprende y quién enseña una vez que alguien se entrega de corazón a los demás.

But when she walks into Rachel’s familiar house, what she finds is entirely different: her sister has been the victim of a brutal murder.   Stunned and adrift, Nora finds she can’t return to her former life. An unsolved assault in the past has shaken her faith in the police, and she can’t trust them to find her sister’s killer.

Title: [Catalan] - La trena Author: Laetitia Colombani Narrator: Clara Segura Crespo Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 47 minutes Release date: June 22, 2023 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: TRES DONES UNIDES PER UN PODERÓS ANHEL DE LLIBERTAT. Un fulgurant èxit editorial que ha estat durant mesos al capdamunt de les llistes de vendes i ha conquistat la crítica i el públic. Amb gairebé mig milió d'exemplars venuts i quasi trenta traduccions en curs, La trena va ser un dels fenòmens editorials de l'any 2017. En aquesta narració vibrant i commovedora, Laetitia Colombani -guionista, directora i actriu de reconegut prestigi- aborda les històries de tres dones que, nascudes en continents diferents, comparteixen unes idees i uns sentiments que les uneixen en un poderós anhel de llibertat. ÍNDIA. A Badlapur, la intocable Smita sobreviu recollint els excrements d'una casta superior. Resignada a la seva condició, està decidida en canvi a lluitar perquè la seva filla no segueixi els seus passos: la petita anirà a l'escola i la seva vida serà digna i profitosa, encara que per aconseguir-ho la Smita hagi de desafiar les normes establertes. ITÀLIA. A la Giulia li encanta treballar al taller familiar, l'últim de Palerm que confecciona perruques amb cabells autèntics. Hauria pogut anar a la universitat, però als setze anys va deixar l'institut per aprendre els secrets d'aquest ofici. Quan el seu pare pateix un accident i la Giulia descobreix que el negoci està a punt de fer fallida, afronta l'adversitat amb valentia i determinació. CANADÀ. La Sarah és una advocada d'èxit a Montreal que ho ha sacrificat tot per la seva carrera: dos matrimonis fallits i tres fills a qui no ha vist créixer. Un dia, en el curs d'un judici, es desmaia, i aleshores la Sarah comprèn que la seva vida ha canviat radicalment i que haurà de triar què és el més important per a ella. La Smita, la Giulia i la Sarah no es coneixen, però tenen en comú l'empenta i la tenacitat de les dones que rebutgen allò que el destí ha reservat per elles i es rebel·len contra les circumstàncies que les oprimeixen. Com fils invisibles, els seus camins s'entrellacen i van formant una trena que sim- bolitza la ferma voluntat de viure amb esperança i il·lusió. La crítica ha dit... «El fenomen del moment.» Le Parisien «Un homenatge a la força de totes les dones.» Biba «L'autora traça amb una habilitat sorprenent el retrat de tres dones que es rebel·len contra el seu destí, tres històries que deixen entreveure una humanitat fràgil però vibrant.» Le Figaro «Les protagonistes de La trena tenen en comú una força i una determinació que les porten a decidir cada instant de la seva vida en comptes de patir-lo.

Title: [Spanish] - La ciudad Author: Lara Moreno Narrator: Lara Moreno, Elsa Veiga Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 38 minutes Release date: June 22, 2023 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: La esperada nueva novela de Lara Moreno: un retrato insospechado de Madrid a través de la historia afilada de tres mujeres UNO DE LOS LIBROS DEL AÑO SEGÚN EL CULTURAL «Tres historias de maltrato que disecciona con medidas milimétricas y devastadoras». Manuel Jabois, El País «La escritura de Lara Moreno se interna en los abismos de la realidad. Maneja de manera magistral la inquietud, la desesperación, la extrañeza y el miedo. Una voz bella y poderosa». Rosa Montero En un edificio del barrio de La Latina, en el centro de Madrid, confluyen las vidas de tres mujeres. El pequeño piso interior de la cuarta planta es la casa de Oliva. Está atrapada en una peligrosa relación que ha transformado la pasión del inicio en una jaula. En el tercer piso, luminoso y exterior, pasa Damaris los días cuidando a los hijos de sus patrones. Cada noche regresa a su casa cruzando el río que divide social y económicamente la ciudad. Vino a España buscando un futuro mejor cuando un terremoto en Colombia truncó su vida. El mismo futuro que buscaba Horía, la mujer marroquí que llegó a Huelva para trabajar como temporera en los campos de fresas y ahora vive en la minúscula casa de la portería y limpia, en la sombra, las escaleras y el patio. Esta novela cuenta la vida de las tres mujeres, su pasado y el cerco de su presente. Con una voz hermosa y afilada, solo la prosa de Lara Moreno podía cartografiar así un territorio y a quienes lo habitan, componiendo un retrato invisible, herido y valiente de la ciudad. «La ciudad ratifica con creces el vigoroso talento narrativo de Lara Moreno». Domingo Ródenas de Moya, Babelia «La violencia, las violencias, los abusos, se narran con una precisión pasmosa. [...] Un libro tremendo». Miguel Ángel Hoyos, RNE «Su escritura nos sumerge en la ansiedad y desesperación de aquellas a las que nadie espera». Esther Ferrero,Radio 3 «Estamos ante una novela de personajes, pero Madrid es otro de ellos. Es verdad que todo está pasado por la batidora de la ficción, pero el lector puede palpar la capital en la mirada de esta escritora». Paula Corroto, El Confidencial «Lara Moreno muestra en su último libro una escuadra diferente de Madrid: […] un texto de marcada dureza y hosca sinceridad que habla mucho de la condición humana y sus escorrentías aledañas». Javier Ors, La Razón «Una novela sobre la mirada, sobre lo que dejamos de ver. Sobre los gritos ignorados, la indiferencia y el ensimismamiento. La ciudad, la mejor novela de Moreno hasta ahora, nos habla de la ruptura del pacto social y los lazos comunitarios. De indiferencia, esa silenciosa violencia que permite todas las demás». Anna María Iglesia, La Lectura «Moreno no evita la poesía entre las minas, apura las palabras como si fueran cigarrillos a medio prohibir, en un retrato donde la mujer se mezcla con la ciudad, el castigo con la culpa, ambos invisibles, ambos partes del espejo roto en el que ya no es posible reflejarse». Octavio Gómez, Zona de Obras «A Lara Moreno hay que leerla siempre, pero esta novela es extraordinaria». Aroa Moreno Durán «Una autopsia en caliente -no podría ser de otra forma- a las geografías de la violencia encapsulando el malestar global en una sola escalera». Luis Miguel Barcenilla, El Salto Diario «Una prosa precisa y deliciosa». Chema García Langa, El gallo que no cesa (RTVE) «Una novela que puede presumir de prosa inteligente, y de ser ágil a la vez que no querer ser ligera».

For fans of Souvankham Thammavongsa, Lynn Coady, and Lisa Moore comes a striking debut collection of short stories that explore bodies both human and animal: our fascination with their strange effluences, growths, and protrusions, and the dangerous ways we play with their power to inflict harm on ourselves and on others. Throughout The Whole Animal, flawed characters wrestle with the complexities of relationships with partners, parents, children, and friends as they struggle to find identity, belonging, and autonomy. Bodies are divided, often elusive, even grotesque. In 'Porcelain Legs,' a pre-teen fixes on the long, thick hair growing from her mother's eyelid. In “Wolf-Boy Saturday,” a linguist grasps for connection with a young boy whose negligent upbringing has left him unable to speak. In “Butter Buns,” a college student sees his mother in a new light when she takes up bodybuilding.

Rosalee, the last living headstrong daughter in Granny McKenzie’s line, soaked up everything she could about the secrets of the forest before a series of tragedies left her alone, without the protection of the women who came before her. The close-knit ties of Rosalee’s childhood are long gone. Now, at her eastern Kentucky farm, she bears a marriage with a volatile bootlegger. She struggles with the demands of motherhood. And her independence is relegated to its “proper place”: under the thumb of men. Her optimism dimming, Rosalee finds solace in the Kentucky woods, a space that holds secret powers of protection from a life Rosalee can no longer control. To the graves of her female ancestors, beside the waters of an enchanting spring, Rosalee returns time and again to consider her future—and discovers a mysterious connection to her past. As Rosalee wrestles with her isolation, with being a wife in an increasingly dangerous marriage, and with being a woman of her time, she must draw on her strength and resilience to survive—and to protect—on her own terms.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/700704Tue, 30 Aug 2022 00:20:35 +0000pamePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/700704 to listen full audiobooks.

But how long can he hide from love? I’m wealthy, powerful, and able to get any woman I want. So why do I feel so empty inside? In search of a deeper me, I take a sabbatical from my privileged life. One year of backpacking around Europe: a new identity, no contacts, and no money. Not a bad plan, I think. Until I get there. A crowded hostel room, body odor, and beer bongs—there are no words for the fresh hell I’ve landed in. But amid the chaos, I meet my new roommate, Hayden Whitmore. She sleeps in the bed opposite me, and I openly admit to staring at her more than I sleep. Beautiful, innocent, and smart. Not my usual type but perhaps the perfect woman. There’s just one small problem with the divine Miss Hayden. She’s totally unaffected by my charm. Nothing is working, and now, I’ve been friend zoned. What? But the good thing about me is that I’m an incredible problem solver, and I’ve come up with a diabolical plan. I’m going to slide right in under her friend zone.

When famed chef Augustus Beauvais dies, he leaves behind a celebrated reputation—and four women grappling with loss, anger, pain, and the question of how the world will turn without him… Meadow, the ex-wife with whom Augustus built an empire—and a family—still holds a place for him in her heart, even as she continues to struggle with his infidelities, which ended their twenty-year marriage.

Title: This Way Out Author: Tufayel Ahmed Narrator: Rohan Rakhit Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 18 minutes Release date: July 1, 2022 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: It’s time everyone knew the truth, and what better way to announce you’re getting married (and gay) than on your family WhatsApp group? Amar can’t wait to tell everyone his wonderful news: he’s found The One, and he’s getting married. But it turns out announcing his engagement on a group chat might not have been the best way to let his strict Muslim Bangladeshi family know that his happy-ever-after partner is a man—and a white man at that. Amar expected a reaction from his four siblings, but his bombshell sends shockwaves throughout the community and begins to fracture their family unit, already fragile from the death of their mother. Suddenly Amar is questioning everything he once believed in: his faith, his culture, his family, his mother’s love—and even his relationship with Joshua. Amar was sure he knew what love meant, but was he just plain wrong? He’s never thought of his relationship with Joshua as a love story—they just fit together, like two halves of a whole. But if they can reconcile their differences with Amar’s culture, could there be hope for his relationship with his family too? And could this whole disaster turn into a love story after all?]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/698150Fri, 01 Jul 2022 00:20:35 +0000pamePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/698150 to listen full audiobooks.

Arthur Narrator: Mia Speight Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 45 minutes Release date: July 1, 2022 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: Sisterhood is the secret weapon for two women at crossroads in a bighearted multigenerational novel about family, forgiveness, and fresh starts by the author of The After Party. When Rita McCall discovers her husband’s affair, there isn’t a lick of surprise—not a single tear or broken heart. Just a wife and mother who’s over it and ready to watch her twenty-three-year marriage go up in flames. Sticking close, thick as thieves since childhood, Rita’s unfailingly loyal cousins Jemel and Sharae become her lifeline. They stand beside her as she contemplates a new career and navigates the murky waters of being a preacher’s daughter disgraced by scandal. Although she would never turn her back on her cousin, Sharae has her own issues to deal with after learning of her father’s jailhouse death and an inheritance she doesn’t want. The last things she needs right now are a handsome lawyer snooping around in her business and a secret that comes back to bite. With the cousins at life-changing crossroads, it’ll take the wisdom of the Aunts and their family’s legacy of feeding the soul to guide them through the painful secrets, betrayals, and empowering revelations ahead. They’ll learn that what matters most is holding tight to love, to the promise of happiness, and most of all to each other.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/698160Fri, 01 Jul 2022 00:20:35 +0000pamePlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/698160 to listen full audiobooks.
