Publisher's summary
Following their steamy summer fling, River O'Leary pays Holly another visit for the holidays. But their timing is all wrong: Holly's locked in a battle for the title of mayor, and she's worried about the reality show turning into a runaway train that she can't control. In the midst of all this chaos, can Holly juggle both her own desires and her neighbors' needs? And will Holly and River be able to stoke the flames of their island romance, or will their relationship fall prey to the whims of the wild tropics?

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Great story - but terrible narration!
A good story was almost ruined with virtual voice narration. Several mis-pronunciations and no inflection or emotion in the narration.
If virtual narration is the future - audible books are in my past!
