Emily Rath writes sapphic romance with a devoted fan base, and her stories translate beautifully into audio because so much of her appeal lives in emotional pacing and the slow build of connection between characters. Her hockey romance “Pucking around” became a sensation for its found-family warmth and sharp, funny dialogue that really sings when performed aloud.

If you love contemporary romance with genuine heart and a cast of characters you actually want to spend time with, this is your corner. Listeners who enjoy multiple narrators bringing a full ensemble to life will find her audiobooks especially satisfying.
