Hidden Gems?

Whenever I come across an audiobook that has less than five hundred ratings (or even better, less than a hundred) and stellar reviews, I know I’ve found a gem. These listens all feel like Audible Escape’s best-kept secrets, but they shouldn’t be any longer. I hope you can find a story here that captures your heart today ❤️. – Melissa, Audible Editor

    • "I loved this story and the narrator! Ava Lucas is new to me but so incredible. This author is also new to me. Wish You Were Here is such an amazing, sweet, beautiful love story. A girl has a one-night stand, but their connection is so strong, even though she doesn't understand it. Then she finds out the reason he never contacted her, and it's unexpected, surprising, and heart-breaking. I love that she found herself through loving Adam, and opened herself up to another love.

The characters’ banter was witty and embarrassing moments were so surprising—I literally laughed out loud. The author lightened the serious theme and situations with well-placed and unique diversions. Top notch narration. Sexy times were subtle and yet still hot. That’s a talent. I look forward to my next read." —Kriston R., Audible Listener

Em is barely alive when she’s found bleeding and taken to the doctor in Azure Springs… The most handsome sheriff, Caleb is anxious to find the bad guys and help Em as much as he can. I can't give details but they are in for a few surprises. There are some very heartbreaking moments too. I've listened to this book at least three times and still get tears in my eyes at a certain point… The ending tugs at my heartstrings. The narration by Coleen Marlo brings this wonderful story to another level of emotion. I never would have guessed this was a debut novel.

    • "Wow!!"
    • "This book was recommended to me and I kept passing it over because I wasn't feeling the cover and summary. I finally decided to give it a shot, residing in the knowledge I'd already listened to everything I would've liked, and all the books are the same. Oh boy, was I wrong. This was so good!! It was dark, but not in the usual way. I thought I knew the twist in the beginning, but I was pleasantly surprised! It's steamy, but the relationships are built; it's not just constantly smutty. The narrator was fantastic. She didn't read. She performed. She definitely brought the story to life. Very well done. I can count on one hand the number of books I've given a 5 star rating to, but this book gets 5 from me." —Reader, Audible Listener
  • Night at the Opera Audiobook By Stacy Henrie cover art

    • Release date: 01-09-19
    • Language: English
    • 4.5 out of 5 stars 118 ratings
    • "Wonderful Book!"
    • "This was my first book by Henrie, and I LOVED it! I listened to the audiobook, and Kelly Burke was a wonder as the narrator. She blended the American and English accents very smoothly. Both Gwen and Avery were fun characters. Gwen had a crippled foot that's helped to make her compassionate and able to see outside of herself, in spite of her family's affluence… What follows is a charming romance with just enough intrigue to spice it up. Wonderful characters, flawed but trying to do the right thing. I'm excited to listen to the next book in the series."—Voracious Reader, Audible Listener

    • "Poignant Canadian WWII Love Story"
    • "In 1939, Grace Baker waves three brothers off to war from the Baker home in East Jeddore, Nova Scotia. She is the one left behind to keep the home fires burning with her parents while working her little fishing village's store. Then she meets a mysterious stranger who sparks her interest, only... he's the enemy right? This was a powerful follow-up standalone story to Tides of Honour, the story of Grace's parents… Michelle Ferguson was a new-to-me narrator. She had a lovely, gentle way of letting the story stand on its own merits… This story dug deep into my emotions and tears did come, but also joy and laughter. Historical romance lovers who want an authentic historical backdrop, well-developed characters and storylines should reach for this one." —Sophia R., Audible Listener
  • The Highlander's Bride Audiobook By Amanda Forester cover art

    • "A perfect audiobook"
    • "This is one of those books that lends itself so well to audio. The plot is well-paced, interesting without being too complicated, and with great main and supporting characters. The storyline is adventurous, with many laugh-out-load comedic moments, but is overall a gentle, beautiful love story. It is superbly read by Mary Jane Wells, who is fast becoming one of my favourite narrators. In fact, I cannot think of another who would have done this book justice. Wells is particularly gifted when it comes to accents, and her skills were certainly put to the test with this book… I also recommend If The Earl Only Knew by Amanda Forester, and will be checking out the second book in the Highland Trouble series immediately!" —D. Mark, Audible Listener
