Resending: Best Audiobooks of the Year
The Best of the Best
Dear Reader,
You deserve the best. That's why I've put together a list of my best-selling audiobooks of the year for you!
I had the pleasure to work with some spectacularly talented Romance, Erotica and Size Erotica authors in the past year, and record some fantastic audiobooks. By the end of the year, a handful of books surged ahead in sales and stood out as the most popular in my catalogue. I'm excited to share them with you.
The Best Romance Audiobooks of The Year
Let's begin with the Best Romance Audiobooks. These were strong sellers all year and the authors were a joy to work with. Reminder: the buttons under the listings take you to audiobook retailers where you can listen to free samples of all the books!
#1 Backstage: A Fake Wedding Romance
by Abbey Foxx
A fake wedding story stuffed full of classic contemporary romance tropes: surprise inheritance, immigration problems, a marriage of convenience & more. Plus something like 26 characters (I lost count!) that all need distinct voices — Abbey put me through my paces with this book!
What Listeners Say About Backstage: "A real escape from this insane year. Better than 3 hours at the spa and a lot less hassle."

#2 His Curvy First Love: Steamy BBW Office Romance (Curvy Girl Steamy Romance Collection) by Avalon Everhart
A short and sweet single-serving erotic romance. He's a power player with a nasty reputation. She's the personal assistant hired to keep him in line — who might just be the girl of his dreams.
What Listeners Say About His Curvy First Love: "If you like workplace romance erotica featuring curvy ladies, this is worth your time."
| Available on Audible |

#3 Lust: High Heat BBW Romance (Seven Deadly Curvy Girl Sins) by Kelsie Calloway
He's a high status hunk who could have any girl he wants. She's the curvy girl on the dance floor he's determined to make his. This might be just a hot hook-up, or they might live curvily ever after. A bite-sized erotic romance.
What Listeners Say About Lust: "A fun and respectful hookup story!" "Short and steamy!" "A great listen!"

To be continued...
These books and their authors deserve your full attention, so I'm going to continue the reveal of the Best Erotica and Size Erotica Audiobooks in the weeks to come.
Due to popular demand, I'm also extending the entry period for my Best Audiobooks of the Year Free Giveaway. But, to be fair to everyone, if you subscribed to the newsletter during the initial entry period, you will automatically receive a free audiobook as a personal thanks from me. I'll contact you about your choice from the Best of the Year list once the full list is revealed.
And a little tease to finish!
I have some extraordinary news to share with you. The Golden Pigtail Awards, organized by Alexa Sommers, has launched a new audiobook category this year. And my books have been nominated for an unprecedented number of awards! Including two of the top three Romance Audiobooks of the year: Backstage by Abbey Foxx, and Lust by Kelsie Calloway.
I'll tell you all about it in an upcoming newsletter, but the inside scoop for now is: Some top shelf erotica has been nominated in all the categories. First round voting opens February 1 and runs to February 14. I hope you can read and listen widely and support your favourite creators and creations with your votes. Alexa runs the whole show on her own, out of the goodness of her heart, so if you're in a position to do so, please make a point to show her some love and buy her books this month, too.
Thank you for your support this month, which has been a strong month for audiobook sales and reviews. I don't know how to tell you what a difference your reviews make! If you'd care to share this newsletter with a friend and encourage them to subscribe, that's a fantastic way to show your support, too.
I hope that February, the Official Month of Romance, has some wonderful surprises in store for you. And, if you're feeling a romance shortage in your life, my romance audiobooks are there to keep you company.
Stay safe out there. Best wishes to each and every one of you. Signing off with love and kisses,
