Ooooooh when a sale gets me! I actually canceled my subscription a couple of months ago because I wasn’t utilizing Audible as much. And then this sale happened and miraculously there was a free 30-day trial offered to me on a plate. Naturally, I took advantage of that and went shopping from my wishlist.
If you’re an Audible member, the sale is going on until this Friday (9/23/22) and it seems to be most romances.
What I Bought
Mafia Romance
Ruthless People Series by J.J. McAvoy
I read the first book and let me tell you, the MCs are wild and I was so here for it! They both have dominating personalities and you bet, a solid enemies to lovers. Can’t wait to finish this series!
Deception Trilogy by Rina Kent (in Kindle Unlimited)
- Vow of Deception (Book 1) $5.79 | AUDIO | EBOOK
- Tempted by Deception (Book 2) $5.79 | AUDIO | EBOOK
- Consumed by Deception (Book 3) $5.79 | AUDIO | EBOOK
I am a Rina Kent stan! I’ve been working my way through their backlist and this the last series before I’m all caught up. Rina recently released their second generation series, Legacy of Gods, reading this series was motivation to go back and read about the parents. I’ve listened to quite a few of Rina’s book on audio and really liked the narrators.

Anti-Heroes in Love Duet by Giana Darling (in Kindle Unlimited)
Giana Darling is a new to me author and has been on my TBR for a while. Definitely see their books circulating quite a bit on bookstagram and I snagged the first book. Since I have KU, if it ends up working for me, I’ll just read the final book there.
contemporary romance
The Wrong Heart by Jennifer Hartmann (in Kindle Unlimited) $3.49 | EBOOK | AUDIO
I’ve only read Just Beating and it was one of my most unexpected reads from this year. I’ve been a little hesitant to dive back into Jennifer’s books, but heard a lot of great things about this one. We’ll see how it goes.
Underneath It All by Kate Canterbary (in Kindle Unlimited) $USED CREDIT | EBOOK | AUDIO
Kate is another new to me author and this book were actually recommended for my 12 Friends, 12 Reads challenge, which I’m absolutely tanking. I think I’ve only read one book so far. I haven’t been gravitating towards a lot of contemporary romances recently, but the audiobooks tend to work for me. This series came with the highest recommendations, so here we go!
Book Recommendations
Wolf Gone Wild by Juliette Cross (in Kindle Unlimited) $4.90 | AUDIO | EBOOK
- SUB-GENRE | Paranormal Romance
I’m a Juliette Cross fan as well and she is a dear friend. Wolf Gone Wild is from her Stay a Spell series, where the Savoie sisters have their own standalone book. While this is a paranormal romance, it has a heavy focus on the romance.
Office Hours by Katrina Jackson $USED CREDIT | AUDIO | EBOOK
- SUB-GENRE | Contemporary Romance
Katrina Jackson is a new to me author and it was an insta-love when I read her The Family series. The obsession I have with that series is unreal and everyone should read that one as well.
Reasonable Doubt Series by Whitney G. $4.19 | AUDIO | EBOOK
- There’s three novellas in this series, Volume One is free, but a boxset is available too.
- SUB-GENRE | Erotic Romance
I’ve been a fan of Whitney for several years and this series was the first I read by her. I recommend it over and over again.
Because You’re Mine by Claire Contreras (in Kindle Unlimited) $5.79 | AUDIO | EBOOK
- SUB-GENRE | Contemporary Romance with mafia elements
Even though I’ve read most of Claire’s books, I held this off (for unknown reasons). Easily a top fave and a constant re-read.
Waking Olivia by Elizabeth O’Roark (in Kindle Unlimited) $5.07 | AUDIO | EBOOK
- SUB-GENRE | Contemporary Romance
I’ve seen a lot of book recommendations for O’Roark’s books, but I received Waking Olivia in book subscription box and gave it a try. And it turned out to be a read I didn’t expect. The audio was really great and the story was great! I haven’t quite had the same luck with her other series, but I’ll keep trying!

I loved Waking Olivia when I read it. I hope you do, too!
I really loved it! It surprised the heck out of me, mostly the plot, not so much the romance. For once, I would have been okay if it wasn’t an actual romance.
I love seeing this! I spent WAY too much on this sale, but I am stocked up for a while!
Thank you! My recommendations would have been soo much longer because literally all my favorites were on sale! It was such an awesome sale!
So many great recommendations! I love Canterbary’s books. I’m reading her new one right now.
