If the lady in your life hankers for a romance binge (or perhaps you are the lady), consider exploring Amazon Escape with a FREE 30-DAY TRIAL. The number of titles run into the millions, enough to satisfy the most passionate romance junkie.
Think about this one: If the question posed to you was, “What genre of fiction produces the most sales?”, what would you answer? Most readers would probably assume James Patterson, Patricia Cornwell, Tana French, or perhaps John Grisham, figuring that mysteries, thrillers, and whodunnits dominate book sales.
But that answer would be wrong. According to Bookseller, among other sources, the Romance category accounts for more sales — by far — than any other type of fiction or non-fiction book (hardback, paperback, digital, audio).
This development will doubtless flummox literature snobs, who generally view romance fiction as the literary equivalent of trailer trash. Snobs are also likely to agree with Truman Capote’s long-ago assessment of Jacqueline Susann’s Valley of the Dolls: “That’ not writing,” snorted Capote. “That’s typing.”
Perhaps so, but millions of readers binge on that sort of typing — one reason why Amazon.com includes a service that caters to those who find love, sex, and clandestine trysts compulsively readable. The service is Audible Escape (formerly Audible Romance). With a subscription:
- You will receive unlimited listening to a massive assortment of love (plus other) stories — FREE FOR ONE MONTH.
- You will also receive access fo single titles, as well as entire series, from your favorite romance authors, as well as the acknowledged most-acclaimed romance authors out there.
- You will get original and exclusive stories produced by Audible that you cannot get anywhere else.
- And, of course, you will have the ability to cancel anytime with absolutely no further commitments.
Remember: The first month is FREE, more than enough time to binge on a dozen novels and wolf down several pounds of Bon-Bons. After the FREE MONTH, you pay only $12.95 per month.
$12.95 per month.
Geez. You lose that much money in the corner of the sofa. Or blow it on a figure-wrecking latte or a bad movie. Instead, use it to stoke your imagination and give your loins a thrill with the sort of entertainment, relaxation, and escape that only a good romance novel can provide.
But wait! There is more. If you are already a member of Audible, you pay only $6.95 per month.
Seasoned readers understand that real-life problems do not disappear at the end of a romance novel. But for the few hundred pages of the story, you relax and enjoy the vicarious experience of confronting challenges while watching love triumph, as it inevitably does.
Snobs who dismiss romance fiction should understand that many examples of it rank among our most esteemed works of literature. Three prime examples, all available through Audible Escape:
Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen: The dilemma, as all know: Should you marry for love or money?
Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte: What secrets hide in Thornfield Hall? And what will Jane do once she uncovers Mr. Rochester’s dark past?
Gone With The Wind, by Margaret Mitchell: Headstrong Scarlett O’Hara finds herself in dire straits. Will she also lose her heart to the infamous Rhett Butler?
Audible Escape features so much music for your ears that you will find yourself hooked and listening all of the time. A few of the best-selling authors you will encounter with your subscription:
Catherine Bybee: With her bestselling Weekday Brides and Not Quite series, she consistently tops the romance charts. One of her must-reads: Wife By Wednesday.
Robyn Carr: She wrote the hugely popular Virgin River series, which supplies, as one reviewer noted, “a stream of near-endless romantic possibilities.”
Lauren Dane: She holds the distinction of topping the sales charts in both the New York Times and USA Today. One of her must-reads is Laid Bare.
Of course, you also get Tessa Dare and Nora Roberts, who has written more than 200 bestsellers, and so many more.
Audible Escape permits you to listen to thousands of audiobooks, perfect for the millions who love the love stories. You can borrow to 10 love stories in the Audible Escape package at a time, and keep them as long as you want.
