I came across this post searching for answers. I know there are many memes regarding this book on the social media platforms. As for me reading it, however, I never got around to it. It seems like an immense task to even locate it, so I may just have to watch a YouTube video that summarizes it instead.

I really liked the audiobook for Dearest Milton James by NR Walker, and Madison Square Murders by C.S. Poe.
The narrator for the big bad wolf series by Charalie Adhara ends up being amazing by the end of the series, but the first book is not great. He really improved after that tho if you’re willing to try it.

Oooh I loved Things We Never Got Over on Audible, although I didn’t love the book itself I thought the male voice POV was super hot, and I also loved Lights Out on Audible!

A well established narrator for the Outlander books, in search of a warm and familiar voice for book 10, would be Davina Porter. Davina’s measured, expressive and patient reading of long sections of narrative brings new depth to the same scenes that, on the page, I had hurried by in order to get to the interesting bit. Her portsrayal of Claire’s quiet confidences and feelings of love is very sweet.
The accents are spot on and she brings the likes of Claire’s sensible, no-nonsense side to life as well as showing her tender side. Her narration of long and sometimes laborious chapters of Gabaldon’s work are never a chore and have helped me fall in love with the book again on my commute. Long may she continue to bring these wonderful stories to life.

There’s something about monster / alien romances that makes them especially Inventive and Unabashedly Steamy. The audiobook The Alien’s Kidnapped Omega by Sienna Sway is one such example. The narrator brings the non-human characters to life in a really distinct and otherworldly way, which really works for the sexy times too. Yes, it’s very steamy and central to the story, and often includes all the unique biological details of the various aliens involved. This isn’t a shy or subtle take on the role of sex in the story, it’s all about high passion in a completely fantastical way to connect with another person. If you’re getting bored with contemporary and want something really steamy and imaginative, then check out some of the monster romance audiobooks. They’re all so all-in for their performances that really they sell the whole concept of the book so well.

Michael Kramer does an excellent job of establishing the scope of the old world of Terris prior to the era shift, and then Kate Reading picks up the story to offer a fresh perspective on the more modern, civic-minded characters of the new world of Elendel. Kramer’s iconic Kelsier is charming and intense and Crack-like in his subtle breakage. Reading is brilliant with the more modern characters, and brings a lot of depth to the portrayal of Marasi’s growth from naive young keeper’s assistant to confident constable. Kramer and Reading together present a rich, full and stunningly well realized audio version of the later Mistborn novels.

The only narrator who can do full justice to Milton's Paradise Lost would be someone with the broadest, most classical tones of all, i.e. Simon Vance or Anton Lesser at their best. Alas, most things of that epic, cosmic dimension are beyond most voices. Which is why the extraordinary audio production of EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon, with her excellent narration of celestial characters, above all the immense personal struggle of a lunar goddess at the center of a divine war, has become my latest epic obsession – not an adaptation of course, but something with a similar launchpad for a majestic, heavy performance.

A fairly straight-forward shoujo with a twist is ‘Mizutama Honey Boy’. The heroine is tall, sporty and a bit messy, whilst the hero is short, cute and delicate. He’s into baking, sewing and generally anything ‘cute’. They live together under a honey-boy type of arrangement where he looks after her and cooks for her, etc. He’s essentially the ‘wife’.
There’s a big difference between her (a rough-around-the-edges, breadwinning part-timer) and him (a domesticated, husband-like cohabitee who’s into baking, sewing, etc). Most of the comedy comes from his inversion of expectations as a male, but he’s not trying to be anything other than himself and she appreciates his appreciation of her, as well as her appreciation of his strengths without any qualms about her lack of femininity. It’s a cute, low-stakes story.

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.

I see a lot of people recommending text-to-speech software. But have you looked into the newer AI narration tools like ElevenLabs? Apparently some people are using translated text to create full audiobooks with custom voices, authentic and realistic. I am not even close to sure that would be allowed, but it sounds way better than the standard robotic text-to-speech. There are some forums where people discuss this sort of thing, if you're interested.
It sounds good but misses crucial aspects of human performance such as pausing, breathing for dramatic effect and even differentiating between characters. For now, it remains a rather fascinating but somewhat disturbed technical demonstration. Not quite yet a suitable alternative for an audiobook.
