June is Audiobook Month and in celebration of that event, we have a special edition of Speaking of Audiobooks for you today and we’re featuring all reviews – seven of them including our first “dueling” review. Most are longer in length than our usual mini-reviews and include Only Love by Elizabeth Lowell, Visions of Heat by Nalini Singh, Delicious by Susan Mallery, Fire and Ice by Anne Stuart, Shards of Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold, Bending the Rules by Susan Andersen, and To Die For by Linda Howard.
Top on my list today, however, is a reminder for you to vote in our Favorite Romance Audiobooks Poll if you haven’t done so already.

But we know there are probably even more who will want to complete only a portion of the ballot so all we ask is that you complete a minimum of 6 categories. You can find the ballot here. And if you have already submitted your ballot, please share word of the poll with others! It will prove to be an immensely useful tool for romance audiobook fans. The poll ends on Tuesday, June 28th at midnight eastern standard time.
