dayrealing: the trials and tribulations of a stressed-out teacher in a spaced-out world , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 605min
It is not so much that Colin's adult education class is a riot - although lippy Jack and snide Nicola do their best to make it so, and even that nice, demure, octogenarian Miss Tedley has been known to lend a hand - it is more that Colin's own mind is a riot of conflicting thoughts around the luscious Amanda, life, school politics, literature and the rules of English usage, grammar and syntax. And Colin does have an unfortunate name and a tendency to land himself in more trouble than he is already in or, at times, under, as the world comes crashing down on him. Will he ever prepare a class, get the better of arch-enemies Simon and Dolores, or seduce Amanda into paying any attention to him whatsoever? And will he ever define 'dayrealing'? Ah, that. Yes, dayrealing is what this Colin does best. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mike Church. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/054430/bk_acx0_054430_sample.mp3.

Two Weeks with a Stranger , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 542min
Wedded and bedded, Lucy is devastated when she's abandoned by her new husband the very next day. Though it was a marriage of convenience, their heated wedding night gave her hope that it would turn into something more. But she refuses to be the demure bride left behind on a country estate while the stranger she married goes gallivanting about London - even if she has to create a scandal of her own. Simon, the Earl of Devingham, would prefer his exquisite young bride remain at home where he left her. Instead, she follows him to London...seducing him with her fiery kisses, enchanting him with her scorching touches, and awakening in him an insatiable hunger. His duty to the Crown demands that he remain in town, but Lucy has entered a most perilous game - and she will not forfeit without Simon's total surrender. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Prince of Magic , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 599min
Caught dancing barefoot in the moonlit woods, dressed only in her shift, Elizabeth Penshurst is considered by decent folk to be notorious and disgraced. Sent by her father, a reverend, to serve penance with a cousin in Hernewood, Lizzie sets her thoughts on becoming the perfectly demure and reserved young woman any suitor would want. But evil haunts the woods of Hernewood Abbey. As the Druid festival of Beltane approaches, a sinister cult seeks a virgin sacrifice. Their intended victim: Lizzie. Her only defender - and the man likely to relieve her of her dangerous maidenhood - is the mysterious Gabriel, the Dark Man, a fellow outcast and scholar of Druidism. The forest calls to them both. Their irresistible attraction, both mystical and bawdy, may be the only force more powerful than the cult's dark purpose. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christine Rogerson.

Sophie's Voice: Sex and the Season, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 565min, (USK 18)
Lady Sophie MacIntyre has the voice of an angel, but due to her timid nature, no one ever hears it. After losing a bet to her conniving sister, Sophie auditions for the new musicale at the Regal Theatre run by handsome actor Zachary Newland. Though distracted by Zach's elegant masculinity and her own nerves, she sings well and earns a role in the production. Zach is a confirmed bachelor, and his taste in women leans toward the glamorous and uninhibited...until he meets the demure Sophie. Her delicate soprano and understated beauty captivate him. She responds to his inappropriate kiss, but quickly dismisses the heat between them. She's a lady of the peerage, after all, and not one to associate with a rake like him. Zach, however, is not so easily dissuaded. He gets what he wants, and he intends to help Sophie find her true voice...in more ways than one. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Honey Everest.
