I love a good physical book, but sometimes an audio performance can elevate a book.  Here are some books I HIGHLY recommend listening to the audiobook over reading the physical book.

This book has so much emotion.  I have never wanted to hug a child so much in my life.  If you love an Irish accent, then I highy recommend the audiobook.
Devil of Dublin

This was genius by itself.  It is a rom com meets dark romance where two unalivers are competing on who can kill the target first.  It's hilarious, but the audio narration is done duet style and was recorded live.  There is audio sound effects, plus the narrators are top tier.  I highly recommend the audiobook.
Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver

This book has a ton of banter and a ton of fun.  This read has a strong sassy FMC, and several tattoo mafia MMCs.  This book has accents that are better listened to on audiobook.
Forget Me Not Bombshell by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti

Aero is unhinged, and daddy Joe Arden does a perfect job playing this MMC.  This book is one of my favorite audiobooks of the year.

This is the first book on audio that I obsessed over and drove my newfound love for audiobooks.  Both the female narrator and male narrator gave a top tier performance and left me flushed during the spicy scenes.  This is a very taboo spicy romance.

I am so in love with the FMC in this book.  She's hella strong, and the narrator did such a great job encompassing her.  The quick witted banter between the two, but the evenly matched wills makes this such a great romance.  The action drives the story for a fast paced read.
Skeletons of Society by Marie Maravilla

Must be read as a series

This series should definitely be read on audio!  The duet narration style in conjunction with the sound effects makes it feel like a live action.
Hate by Tate James
 
Micky Luciano profile picture
The narrator for this read plays two separate MMCs, and you can swear it's two separate people.  This book has all the feels, and the narration pulls on your heart strings.
Complicated Hearts by A Jade

The sound effects make this narration top tier.  Plus who wouldn't love to listen to smut with top tier spice?  This book is a great quick spicy read for those who love men in masks.
Bloodshed by Molly Doyle

Everyone knows this one, but I do recommend the audiobook.  The narrators are top tier, and listening to daddy Zade just elevates this read.
