Looking Back at October – Our Reviews, News & Features

October was another busy month for our reviewers here at AudioGals, and we published a total of 27 reviews of romance audiobooks across a variety of genres. Some were reviews of completely new titles and others were of older titles which have only recently been made available in audio format.

At the end of the month, we marked the release of the Ilona Andrews’ newest book (and the first in a series), Burn for Me, with a three day giveaway and a recorded interview with Ilona and Gordon (the Ilona Andrews writing team) and narrator Renee Raudman. The giveaway is now closed, but you can still read our reviews of Burn for Me by Kaetrin and BJ, listen to our interview, or check out our complete list of Ilona Andrews titles, which should be a great help if you want to complete your collection!

  1. Thanks so much for this monthly review, it really helps me when it comes to where I should spend my money.
    I find I am taking note of the narrator more than the story as the narrator makes or breaks it for me. A mediocre story can be brought to life with good narration
