Books in This Series
Cold-Hearted Rake
Lisa Kleypas returns to historical romance with a genuinely charming rake, a widow who won't be charmed easily, and an eleven-hour Welsh-accented narration that turns the whole thing into something warm and aching. First in a series, but gives the central romance plenty of room to breathe and burn.
Marrying Winterborne
A working-class Welsh tycoon and a sheltered aristocrat fall hard for each other despite everything standing between them. Mary Jane Wells delivers the emotional beats with warmth, making this an ideal comfort listen.
Hello Stranger: The Ravenels, Book 4
Smart Victorian romance with a female physician heroine and an Irish spy hero, elevated by Mary Jane Wells's accent work that turns class tension into something you can hear. Kleypas at her most historically grounded, with enough heat and plot to justify the ten-hour listen.
Chasing Cassandra: The Ravenels
A satisfying historical romance with a genuinely baffled-by-love hero and a heroine who won't be acquired. Mary Jane Wells' narration elevates an already warm story, and at 9 hours it's perfectly sized for busy-life listening.
