I have come across some novels but mostly the really grovel-heavy ones haven’t made it to audiobook yet. I would search for general romance audiobooks and then filter by tags such as “second chance”. There is a web novel called “My Brute Alpha (The Alpha and His Omega #1)” which has a really good groveling arc that has gotten really popular. The lead alpha spends almost the entire novel making amends for his mistakes and the lead up to his apology is set up really well. If you are looking for a novel where the hero’s apology feels earned then this is a good choice.

I am apparently one of those people who loves Oh, grovel romance novels. There is just something so wonderful about a hero who made mistakes of monumental proportions having to work his way back to the heroine through his actions. There are many, many audiobooks in this genre out there and “The Unwanted Wife” by Natasha Anders is a great example of a classic grovel romance novel. It is a very emotional and intense audiobook and the narrator does a great job of conveying the hero’s regret as well as the heroine’s pain and guardedness.

A more modern romance with a good grovel is Suzanne Wright’s “The Favor” — it’s a well performed audio book that really emphasizes the intensity of the story. I recently read Elle Kennedy’s “The Mistake” — it’s a new adult romance but the way that the hero groveled was so adorable that I laughed out loud in several places. If you’re also willing to look at historical romances, then Mary Balogh’s “A Matter of Class” has some great groveling, well performed in audio too. It’s half the fun of reading the book to hear the author’s changes in tone as the arrogant hero realizes he’s dug himself into a hole, inch by inch.

I need romance audiobooks as comfort food and ‘The Hating Game’ isn’t even strictly a grovel but Oh Joshua in the audiobook for The Hating Game is my ideal of a proud man eating crow. For actual, dedicated groveling, I recommend ‘The Marriage Bargain’ by Jennifer Probst when the hero realizes he’s been an absolute idiot – the stammering of the narrator really sold this for me. Another hidden gem of a book is ‘The Sweet Gum Tree’ by Katherine Allred – the slow burn of the audiobook was totally worth it for the end and the hero’s groveling. And for those open to YA, ‘The Simple Wild’ by K.A. Tucker has some wonderful redemption on the part of the hero, which is sweetness and back-up to my comfort food needs – happy listening and may there be lots of groveling and great narrators.

Are there good grovel romance audiobooks? Yes. One of them is The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons. While it isn’t a 100% grovel romance novel, there are very powerful scenes where Alexander must humble himself to the heroine and they are read so wonderfully by the narrator that they make me feel the full depth of his regret. And then there is the wonderful Kiss an Angel by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. The hero is a cold arrogant man who changes to a desperate devoted man. I love it. The audiobook is so much better than I would have imagined.

So short and sweet: Nicole Strycharz wrote ‘The Divorce’ a lovely short read where the hero’s apologies are all so felt through the audiobook’s pacing so well. If you’re into paranormal then there’s ‘Dark Needs at Night’s Edge’ by Kresley Cole featuring a rather comically dramatic and somehow endearing vampire hero. I find that Audible’s romance categories and reviews tagged with ‘grovel’ are a great resource for readers as well as for finding more ‘grovel’ treasure like this.

Oh man. A bad grovel can ruin a whole book for me. The hero does something awful and then is forgiven by the heroine with a puny apology. I can rant about that for days. The good news is that there is a whole community of people who listen to audiobooks like I do and they can warn each other about the grovels. So you might find a review that says the grovel was weak so skip it or the grovel starts at chapter 24 and it’s PERFECT. I trust reviews from people who specialize in romance, whether they are written up in a blog or a podcast. They know the tropes that we expect in a romance and can therefore let us know whether the grovel felt proportional to the mistake of the hero. Even the best story can have a mediocre grovel scene, but it’s made so much better by a good audio performer. Just be sure to sample the narrator’s work to make sure their style is going to match the emotional tone of the book.

I'm thrilled to share that 'Passion' is indeed available as an audiobook! It's a fantastic way to experience the story, especially if you're commuting or just want to relax with your eyes closed. The narration adds a whole new layer of emotion, making the romantic moments even more intense. I listened to it on Audible, and the voice actor did an amazing job capturing the characters' personalities. If you're new to BL audiobooks, 'Passion' is a great starting point. The production quality is top-notch, and the pacing keeps you hooked. I also recommend checking out 'Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation' and 'Heaven Official's Blessing' if you enjoy immersive audio experiences. Audiobooks can really bring these stories to life in a way that reading sometimes can't, especially with the right narrator.

Is the catcher in the rye available as an audiobook?

While the books I review are available, there are often multiple versions of the recording available depending on the platform. For example, on Scribd I believe there are two different versions of some of the older classics which have been re-recorded over the decades. Newer versions have better sound, but often the older versions have more character from the individual narrator. It is not like new film adaptations of the books, it is the same book but read by someone else. So the search to find out if a book is available often turns into which version of the book would I like to ‘read’.

Are there any free audiobooks of Witch available?

I wasted an entire afternoon of my life trying to find the perfect “free” audiobooks for you. That meant scouring out all the free trials and then putting every popular audiobook on hold at the library to see how fast they would come in. Along the way I found a ton of very poorly made “free” audiobooks that I wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy. But if you’re looking for a particular book, then search for that book followed by the word “audiobook” on YouTube. There are often samples of audiobooks for books you want to buy — in the form of free chapters — from the authors or publishers of said books. Other people just made full, unabridged versions of books. I haven’t figured out how I feel about those. They could be a good way to test out an audiobook’s narration before buying it, I suppose. But then you should support the creator if you liked it. For purely free and legal audiobooks, your public library can’t be beat. Put holds on the popular ones and then wait for them to come in, it’s like getting a present from past you.

I ‘preview’ Audible samples & Google Play Books samples, look for a free online text of the same book, and either read it myself or use a text-to-speech program to preview the content of the book. It’s a rather hybrid and gray approach on my part, but it works for me. If I like the sample(s) and can get my hands on the first 5% or so of the full book online (in text form), then I will purchase the full audiobook to hear the rest of it properly. It’s essentially an extremely detailed previewing system for potential audiobooks.

Is the drop book available as an audiobook?

3 Answers2025-07-21
I am a huge fan of audiobooks. When I found out that ‘The Drop’ was available as an audiobook, I was really excited. The audiobook was narrated by a very experienced voice actor, he did a great job bringing the story to life and made the experience of listening to the book very enjoyable. The quality of production for the audiobook was also excellent, it was free of any annoying background noise and the volume was consistent throughout. One of the reasons I love to listen to audiobooks is because they can add so much to your daily life. I can fold laundry, walk my dog, or be doing just about anything else while listening to a really good story. The narrator has done a great job with the pacing of The Drop, the tone of the story is spot on, and I think he must have really worked hard to create such an immersive experience for the listener. This is a great choice for someone who doesn’t have a lot of time to read but would enjoy a great story. And The Drop is available as an audiobook on Google Play Books and on Libro.fm as well.

Where can I find the best m m romance audiobook for free?

9 Answers2026-07-27
I’ve spent countless hours diving into m m romance audiobooks, and while free options are rare, there are a few hidden gems. Librivox offers some classic romance titles, though they’re not exclusively m m. If you’re open to trials, platforms like Audible often have free credits for new users, and you can snag titles like 'Red, White & Royal Blue' or 'Boyfriend Material' before canceling. YouTube sometimes has amateur narrations of popular m m romances, though quality varies. Public libraries are another goldmine—apps like Libby or Hoopla let you borrow audiobooks for free if your library subscribes. Just search for authors like TJ Klune or Alexis Hall.

Spotify does have some audiobooks. The app isn't really designed for listening to them. For starters I recall you can't even add bookmarks, which makes the experience pretty clunky. It’s better to stick to music there.

Is Everybody Loves Large Chests available as an audiobook?

5 Answers2026-07-08
AVAILABILITY: Yes. RECOMMENDATION: This is tough to recommend in audio format. The narration is great (Jeff Hays does a great job with a large cast and is able to bring out the nuances of their voices), but the story itself is an acquired taste. It’s a vicious parody of RPG-style monster evolving with a protagonist who is about as moral as a blender. The audiobook does a good job of smoothing out some of the rough edges of the written work, but at its heart it is still a story about a mimic that wants shiny things and to kill things. If you find the premise of that story to be amusing then you’ll likely enjoy this. But, be warned, the protagonist is not a normal hero to say the least. It’s a very system-based fantasy story with an unconventional hero. So, if you are into that sort of thing then this is a solid listen.

Are audiobooks available at the largest libraries in the US?

3 Answers2025-08-17
I’ve always been an audiobook fan, so I looked into the largest US libraries to see what sort of audiobooks they offer. It turns out that audiobooks are everywhere and there’s a huge selection. The Houston Public Library and the Philadelphia Free Library are two of the largest libraries in the US and they have partnered with Axis 360 to offer their patrons access to hundreds of thousands of audiobooks, including new YA releases like The Hate U Give and memoirs like Born a Crime. In addition to having an immense library of titles, many libraries also host virtual author events and discuss the behind-the-scenes of certain books. Also, note that many popular series (e.g. Harry Potter and The Hunger Games) are available in full on audiobook for binge listening purposes. Download the app, login with your library card and start listening to your favorite books while multitasking.
