The V Club: A Single Dad and a Virgin Romance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 75min, (USK 18)
Shut up! Are you serious? She did what? I glanced up from the music I was reading to glare at my roommate, Bella. She glanced at me and mouthed sorry before going back to listening to whomever it was she was talking to. "Are you sure?" She was quiet a moment. "You know what that means, right?" I tuned her out and pulled my headphones back over my ears. Bella was always getting excited over one thing or another. I couldn’t keep up with her most times. Besides, I had to work on this music. I had too much to do other than listen to her jabbering on. "Okay. Yeah. I got it. Okay. Bye." She hung up and turned to face me. "Oh my God!" she squealed. "You’ll never guess what Brie just told me." With a sigh, I turned off my iPod and lowered the headphones around my neck. I wasn’t going to get any more studying done until she told me whatever it was she had to tell me. There was no point in trying. I knew from past experience. "What is it?" I said, knowing she wanted me to ask her. She grinned and leapt onto my bed. I barely had time to.... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Theresa Stephens.

Warning: This audiobook contains very explicit sex including first time gangbang sex, sex with the professor, rough sex, college sex, oral sex, and more. Only mature adults who won't find graphic sexual content offensive should listen to this story. Here is a preview: I felt the heat bloom in my belly the longer he stared at me, envisioning the bikini from yesterday. I felt like prey in the middle of their trio. Tim was a tall, blonde, all-American sort of guy, while Joey was a shorter, dark-haired Italian. The unnamed one was in between, with wavy brown hair and a very eager look on his face. I tried to ease out of the group, but unfortunately, as I backed up, I ended up pressed against the bookcase against the wall. Tim was slowly strolling towards me, and I knew he could see my chest starting to rise and fall faster. "Professor? You okay? Your face looks flushed," he grinned at me, winking at his counterparts. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sophia Chambers.

No Deadline for Love , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 349min
'So have you always been this hot-headed?' asked Yudi, continuing to smile. 'Well, I could ask you the same thing,' I retorted cheekily. 'Touche!' Yudi grinned. I don't deny the charge. But at least I make an effort to apologize at least to some people. All her life Megha has diligently done what was expected of her: the graduation in economics, the MBA in marketing, and now the strait-laced job in a high-profile FMCG company. But lately, she's been wondering if this unending routine of juggling late hours and unreasonable deadlines is really her life's calling. Her mother's desperate attempts to put her on the marriage market are not making life any easier. And to top it all, Megha's latest project has been bogged down by a complete dearth of creative ideas, giving her nasty boss the perfect excuse to disregard the blood, sweat, and tears she's poured into her job so far. The last thing she needs is having her suggestions trampled upon by the team's new creative consultant, Yudi: gorgeous, sardonic and only too eager to disagree with Megha. And so the stage is set for a quirky battle of wits and some unexpected romance. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sumeet Bharati.

The Silver Lining , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 399min
The media spread my face nationwide on every newspaper known to man when the story first broke. It read: James King. Son of wealthy, ambitious hotel owner, Victoria King, busted for cocaine possession. Let's be honest. I've always been a rebel, a little rough around the edges. The black sheep of the family. The outcast. No one ever thought twice about me, not even when I was arrested. The only thing is I didn't really do it, but I served time for the crime. Today, my freedom was granted to me. I was permitted to leave this prison that I had lived in for the last 16 months. The guards opened my cell, grinned, and told me I could finally go back home. Home? See, it wouldn't be my home. It would be her home. I have no home of my own anymore. Funny thing about being locked up is that you lose everything, including yourself. You no longer exist to the outside world. You're transparent, at least that's how I felt until I met Emily. She was kind, and in my world, people like her were far and few between. I was drawn to her like a magnet. I wanted her, but I'd kill myself trying to get her because she's damaged. I just didn't know it yet. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rhett Kennedy.

Natural Reaction: A Mary O'Reilly Paranormal Mystery, Book 6 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 423min
The last few students climbed through windows, black smoke billowing out of them. The teacher turned to his student. "I'll let you down first." "But Coach, whose going to help you?" "Hey, you're my best fielder, I expect to jump right into your arms," he said. "Just promise not to whip me over to Smith for a double play." The young man, his face streaked with soot, grinned at his coach. "Yeah, Coach, I promise." He took the young man's hands in a tight grip and slowly lowered him out the window. When he had extended his reach as far as he could, he let him go. The student fell into the evergreen boughs, the prickly needles scraped his arms, but the branches kept him from hitting the ground. He rolled off the bushes and jumped up as fast as he could. He turned his eager face up to the window. "Okay, Coach," he called. The explosion violently blew the windows out of the building. Screaming students darted across the lawn, barely escaping the shards of glass raining down on them. All of the students except Stevo, who still stood below the gaping hole in the wall, oblivious to the blood running down his face and arms. "Coach, Coach," he screamed. "I'm here, Coach. Coach, I'm here." Mary O'Reilly investigates the death of a beloved high school coach while she tries to overcome the repercussion of solving Jeannine's murder. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Smidgey Pidgey's Predicament , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 26min
It was a gorgeous summer day in Central Park, and Smidge and her brother Ridge had time to share one last adventure before it was time to grow up, as Mama Pidgey primly informed them. Yuk, where was the fun in that?! Smidge slapped Ridge’s wing with hers. “Hey, you hungry? Want to be real birds, and scavenge the park for seeds, or go see if Mrs. Laney is providing Pidgey takeout today?” Ridge rubbed his belly. “Yum, Mrs. Laney’s for sure! Maybe she put out french fries again,” he grinned mischievously. The two were so intent on their scramble for treats that when they heard the first squawks of protest, they assumed it was just a squabble over a savory morsel. Soon the cries became louder and more frantic, and more birds joined the chorus. Finally realizing something wasn’t right, Smidge and Ridge looked up from their breakfast. But it was too late - a black sack came down over their heads, engulfing them both and turning their world to darkness.... Who was stealing the city’s pigeons, and what’s to become of Smidge, Ridge, and the others? Find out in Smidgey Pidgey’s Predicament, excellent for ages eight and up and perfect for humane education in today’s classrooms. Includes vocab builders, as well as information about the very real threat to pigeons and what you can do to help these wonderful birds. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jennifer Gilmour.
