Narrated by: January LaVoy

My Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)

Buckle up, audiobook lovers, because Hidden Nature by Nora Roberts (May 2025) is a romantic suspense masterpiece that had me glued to my earbuds!

Narrated by the phenomenal January LaVoy, this gem is a heart-pounding, swoon-worthy. Sloan Cooper, a badass Natural Resources police officer, is recovering in her charming Maryland hometown after a near-fatal shooting. When a local woman vanishes, Sloan uncovers a creepy serial killer case that’ll give you chills. Enter Nash Littlefield, the handyman heartthrob whose slow-burn romance with Sloan had me grinning like a goof. January LaVoy’s narration is pure magic—she gives Sloan a fierce yet tender edge, makes Nash’s gravelly charm melt-worthy, and nails the villains’ eerie vibes. Her pacing is flawless, turning quiet family moments into warm hugs and suspenseful scenes into edge-of-your-seat thrills. Oh, and there are two adorable (safe!) dogs.

Roberts’ mix of taut suspense, lush Maryland scenery, and heart-melting romance is irresistible, and LaVoy’s voice brings every page to life. The slow-build pacing explodes into a gripping climax, and I didn’t skip a second. If you love The Witness or crave a mystery with feels, Hidden Nature is your next listen. Pop in those earbuds and let January LaVoy sweep you away!
