Scrooged by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward
December 24, 2019
Narration: BStory: C+Reviewer: KaetrinPublisher: C. Scott Publishing Corp
Narrated by Andi Arndt & Sebastian York Scrooged is an anthology containing 3 short stories of various lengths (Sexy Scrooge, The Merry Mistake & Kissmas in New York). Coming in at 2 hours 47 minutes, it doesn’t take a big time commitment – something I very much appreciated at this time of year when I seem ...
Read moreStrip Me by Margay Leah Justice
April 3, 2019
Narration: B+Story: C-Reviewer: CazPublisher: Simon & Schuster Audio
Narrated by Kale Williams and Sebastian York I’m far more likely to take a chance on a new or new-to-me author in audio than I am in print, especially if their book is performed by someone I enjoy listening to. So, when Margay Leah Justice’s Strip Me came up for review with two very familiar names ...
Read moreBad Reputation by S.L. Scott
February 13, 2019
Narration: B+Story: C-Reviewer: KaetrinPublisher: S.L. Scott
Narrated by Ava Erickson & Sebastian York My first attraction to Bad Reputation was because of the calibre of the narrators, particularly Sebastian York. But I read the blurb and it seemed like fun – a secret princess and a man trying to win her back from the would-be fiancé she’d only be marrying out of ...
Read moreAce of Spades by Sandra Owens
April 2, 2018
Narration: B-Story: D+/C-Reviewer: KaetrinPublisher: Brilliance Audio
Narrated by Amy McFadden & Sebastian York Trigger Warning: domestic/child abuse I have enjoyed the previous books in the Aces & Eights series, so I was looking forward to Ace of Spades. Unfortunately, it mostly didn’t work for me on a story level. In the past Sandra Owens’s books have been very successful for me so I ...
Read moreThe V Card by Lauren Blakely & Lili Valente

Narration: B+Story: BReviewer: KaetrinPublisher: Lauren Blakely & Lili Valente Books

Read moreMister Moneybags by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward
September 13, 2017
Narration: A-Story: B-Reviewer: BJPublisher: C. Scott Publishing Corp.
Narrated by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York The writing combination of Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward have long been at the top of my New Adult, sexy romantic listen list. So when I saw they were releasing another collaboration, I jumped on board to review. While once again this writing duo has produced a romantic comedy ...
Read moreKing of Clubs by Sandra Owens
August 22, 2017
Narration: B+Story: BReviewer: KaetrinPublisher: Brilliance Audio
Narrated by Amy McFadden & Sebastian York I am a sucker for a rescue trope. Damsels in distress aren’t all that popular these days but I have a soft spot for them I admit. Nevertheless, my feminist side usually wants the heroine to do a bit of rescuing herself to balance things out. It’s not a ...
Read moreThe Knocked Up Plan by Lauren Blakely
July 11, 2017
Narration: AStory: C+Reviewer: MelindaPublisher: Lauren Blakely Books
Narrated by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York Nicole and Ryder both work at Hanky Panky Love, the dating division of a lifestyle media giant that includes print and radio advice for the lovelorn.

Read moreMack Daddy by Penelope Ward
June 21, 2017
Narration: B+Story: BReviewer: BJPublisher: Penelope Ward Books Inc
Narrated by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York Fans of single father romances and the second chance at love (or friends turned lovers) tropes will be the most intrigued by Mack Daddy. There is also a minor suspense element that exemplifies how romantic protagonists are often influenced and shaped by their parents and childhoods. While I did ...
Read moreCandy Boys by Jo Raven
June 7, 2017
Narration: B+Story: CReviewer: KaetrinPublisher: Podium Publishing
Narrated by Ava Erickson, Sebastian York & Joe Arden I like erotic romance and MMF ménage is my favourite kind so when Candy Boys came up for review, I was quick to put my hand up. With narrators the calibre of Sebastian York and Ava Erickson (I had little experience of listening to Joe Arden previously) ...
Read moreJoy Ride by Lauren Blakely
May 29, 2017
Narration: A-/B+Story: A-/B+Reviewer: MelindaPublisher: Lauren Blakely Books
Narrated by Sebastian York Max Summers is all man – he’s a man’s man, a top mechanic, the king of custom built dream cars, who might occasionally, in private, indulge his softer side in his claw-foot tub with a bath bomb or two. Five years ago, he was mentoring an extremely talented employee, treated said employee ...
Read moreBlush for Me by Kristen Proby
May 11, 2017
Narration: BStory: C-Reviewer: KaetrinPublisher: Harper Audio
Narrated by Abby Craden & Sebastian York I have enjoyed the first two books of the Fusion series on audio so I was keen to continue and hear about Kat’s HEA in Blush for Me. Unfortunately, it was the weakest book of the series so far and there was a big issue that stuck out ...
Read morePark Avenue Prince by Louise Bay
March 23, 2017
Narration: AStory: C+Reviewer: MelindaPublisher: Louise Bay
Narrated by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York The hits (and near-misses) just keep coming from Louise Bay, with a new story in what isn’t labeled a series but features some characters from a previous book (The King of Wall Street, Max and Harper). (Sounds like a series to me, by the way.) While Max was the ...
Read moreThe Empire State Series by Louise Bay
March 6, 2017
Narration: A-/B+Story: B-Reviewer: CazPublisher: Louise Bay
Narrated by Saskia Maarleveld and Sebastian York Having recently listened to Louise Bay’s King of Wall Street, which I picked up on the strength of Melinda’s review, I was keen on trying more of the author’s work. The Empire State Series caught my eye because of the narrator pairing; I’ve listened to and enjoyed Saskia Maarleveld ...
Read moreFour Letter Word by J. Daniels
March 1, 2017
Narration: Kate Russell: A / Sebastian York: A-Story: BReviewer: BJPublisher: Hachette Audio
Narrated by Kate Russell and Sebastian York This is a tough review to write. There were things about this book that I loved, but one major and one minor building block of this relationship that didn’t sit well with me. Unfortunately, the blurb doesn’t flush out most of this story (instead just giving you a glimpse ...
Read moreFull Package by Lauren Blakely
February 15, 2017
Narration: AStory: BReviewer: KaetrinPublisher: Lauren Blakely Books
Narrated by Sebastian York Full Package is the latest in the series of loosely linked books by Lauren Blakely featuring hot young twenty-somethings living in New York and told from the hero’s POV. Those who have read or listened to Big Rock, Mister O or Well Hung will know Josie Hammer and Chase Summers, who each had ...
Read moreSweet Cheeks by K Bromberg
February 8, 2017
Narration: A-Story: B+Reviewer: BJPublisher: JKB Publishing, LLC
Narration by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York Sweet Cheeks gives a unique spin to a story that romance listeners have no doubt heard before: the second chance at love trope. The interesting twist is that Ms. Bromberg splices and dices this trope with a couple of other contemporary romance tropes (the movie star with a small ...
Read moreEasy Kisses by Kristen Proby
January 10, 2017
Narration: BStory: BReviewer: KaetrinPublisher: Audible Studios
Narrated by Rachel Fulginiti & Sebastian York Easy Kisses is the latest release in the Boudreaux series by Kristen Proby. I bought the first books in the series and I confess I called a halt to the first one, Easy Love, because I couldn’t quite cope with the disconnect in accents. Rachel Fulginiti gives the Boudreaux ...
Read moreMarriage Games by CD Reiss
December 15, 2016
Narration: A+Story: AReviewer: BJPublisher: Flip City Media, Inc
Narrated by Elena Wolfe and Sebastian York Marriage Games is unlike any other book I’ve ever listened to. Unique both in its plot and narration, it will no doubt be one of my top 5 listens of 2016. The factors that made this a top listen for me from a story point of view include that ...
Read morePlayboy Pilot by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward
December 14, 2016
Narration: B+Story: B-Reviewer: KaetrinPublisher: Tantor Audio
Narrated by Andi Arndt & Sebastian York I was attracted to this audiobook by the narrating duo as well as the blurb. Playboy Pilot is my first book from either (or both) Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward and, while it didn’t totally work for me, I expect it won’t be my last. Captain Carter Clynes (aka “Triple ...
Read moreSay You’ll Stay by Corinne Michaels

Narrated by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York Presley Benson is a typical small-business-owner/mom in Pennsylvania, heading home from the small bakery she runs with her sister-in-law, where her 10-year-old twin boys and husband are waiting to go out to dinner. But when she gets home, her entire world cracks when she discovers her husband has committed ...

Narration: B+Story: BReviewer: KaetrinPublisher: Lauren Blakely Books
Narrated by Sebastian York & Andi Arndt The Sexy One, is Simon’s and Abby’s story. In Mister O, regular listeners of Lauren Blakely’s work first met Simon Travers and Abby Becker. Abby was a friend of Harper Holiday’s and Simon was a client and possibly-would-be boyfriend in sort-of-competition with hero, Nick Hammer. Simon, a single dad, ...
Read moreKing of Wall Street by Louise Bay
November 21, 2016
Narration: B+Story: B+Reviewer: MelindaPublisher: Louise Bay
Narrated by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York Louise Bay is new to me, but not new to Romance – she has several full length, self-pubbed novels, starting in 2014. Her story style is similar to Lauren Blakely, Emma Chase, Sawyer Bennett – young urban professional protagonists, not really angsty (so in my book, not New Adult) ...
Read moreOnly Her by Sandra Owens
November 16, 2016
Narration: B+Story: B+Reviewer: KaetrinPublisher: Brilliance Audio
Narrated by Amy McFadden & Sebastian York I stumbled across Only Her in a coming soon list at Audible a little while ago and between a winning blurb, Sebastian York co-narrating and dogs (!) I was in. I’ve never read or listened to Sandra Owens’ books before but now I want to gobble all previous four ...
Read moreBad Judgment by Meghan March
November 9, 2016
Narration: B+Story: C+Reviewer: KaetrinPublisher: Meghan March
Narrated by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York Bad Judgment was a bit of an adventure for me. I requested it mainly on the strength of the narrating team of Sebastian York and Andi Arndt, both of whom are really good, solid narrators, and the blurb, which promised a forced proximity romance – a trope I love. ...
Read moreWell Hung by Lauren Blakely
October 6, 2016
Narration: AStory: BReviewer: KaetrinPublisher: Lauren Blakely BooksNarrated by Sebastian York Although it doesn’t appear to have a name, Well Hung is the third book in a loosely connected series involving a group of friends from New York (the previous books being Big Rock and Mister O).

Read moreThe Sapphire Affair by Lauren Blakely
August 8, 2016
Narration: AStory: B-Reviewer: MelindaPublisher: Brilliance Audio
Narrated by Sebastian York I have come to expect Lauren Blakely’s work to be of the sub-genre of contemporary romance that is male-centric, told in first person from the hero’s point of view, which is usually arrogant and self-confident and a little surprised that a mere woman can end up making him fall so hard. Big ...
Read moreNights With Him by Lauren Blakely
June 7, 2016
Narration: BStory: B+Reviewer: KaetrinPublisher: Lauren Blakely Books
Narrated by Sebastian York I’ve enjoyed some Lauren Blakely books recently so I was happy to get the chance to listen to Nights With Him.

May 30, 2016
Narration: A+Story: B+Reviewer: MelindaPublisher: Lauren Blakely Books
Narrated by Sebastian York The reviews for Mister O referenced the funny romance and oh, yeah, the sexy romance too, so I thought it might be right up my alley – it was! The title character is a cartoon turned TV show written by Nick Hammer, about a man whose superpower is giving pleasure to women. ...

Narrated by Sebastian York and Andi Arndt I requested A Stone in the Sea for review after hearing how much Lea loved it. I saw on Goodreads that Lea had given it 5 stars for narration and 5 stars for content. The audiobook didn’t work as well for me as it did for Lea but I ...

Narrated by Shayna Thibodeaux & Sebastian York Lead Me Not left me at kind of a loss of words. I went in expecting one thing, and I came away with a totally different experience, and not necessarily one that I would have signed up for had I known in advance. Specifically, I came away with a feeling ...

March 24, 2015

Narrated by Elizabeth Louise & Sebastian York Ripped is a New Adult, second chance romance. Sporting a great performance by two of my favorite New Adult narrators, this is a great title to enjoy in audiobook format. One note of caution though – if you choose to undertake this journey, please be prepared for an angst-filled, anger-masked kind of ...
Read moreTied by Emma Chase
December 10, 2014
Narration: A-Story: A-Reviewer: BJPublisher: Simon & Schuster Audio
Narrated by Sebastian York Emma Chase does it yet again! Tied is a hilarious, sexy, witty, suspenseful, and romantic listen. I fell in love with Drew Evans in Tangled, so I just knew I couldn’t miss another opportunity to hear the world from his always-interesting point of view. Tied has a slightly different feel than Tangled, primarily due to ...

January 30, 2014

Narrated by Sebastian York Tangled won Emma Chase Best Debut Goodreads Author in 2013. Indeed, her voice – channeled via hero Drew Evans’ POV – is refreshing, snarky, a pure fun winner. Devilishly handsome Drew Evans is himself a winner. A multimillionaire workaholic shark who loves the game, he’s become the star investment banker in his father’s ...

I buy audible books just because of him – LOL. Thanks for this list.
I’m the same as Mandi – I look at the narrator and if it’s Sebastian there’s almost a 100% chance I’m going to buy it.
I hear you, Mandi. I do the same. Got hooked for the first time with Tangled and then Christina Lauren’s books. I never looked back.
Yes! Beautiful Player is my favorite!
Me too!!! I don’t even read the synopsis!! Also, Rob Shspiro!!! Hmmm
I’d just like to add one thing. As of late, he appears in a lot of audiobooks just to narrate the epilogue (maybe to lure his fans to blindly one-click, like I used to do?). In my case, I do not buy books narrated by Shayna Thibodeaux because of her extremely annoying habit (to me) of increasing the tempo and intonation in the middle of each and every sentnce and then deflate at the end (a pity, really, she’s very good at reading dialogs and doing male voices). I spent one credit on Nuts when it first came out because of Mr. York, of course. I should have had a closer look at the description. Mr. York narrates only the epilogue. So beware of this trend.
Does anyone know what Sebastian York looks ?? This is driving me crazy to know 🤣🤣
