The Secret World Of Briar Rose By Cindy Pham
Our first June audiobook is an enchanting debut. Cindy Pham’s The Secret World of Briar Rose is a queer retelling of “Sleeping Beauty.” Featuring dual narratives and points of view, this fantasy follows Corin, a thief looking for her missing sister. She stumbles upon the entrance to Princess Amelia’s subconscious and meets Briar Rose, Amelia’s alter ego. As the two girls navigate their way through the dreamy landscape, they must also come to terms with the secrets they’ve tried to bury.
Release date: June 2

Off Base By Haley Warren
Next on our Sweet Listens is Off Base by Haley Warren. One of our favorite titles from this list, this adult romance stars a paleontologist and a baseball shortstop. Ren Jacobs has just been passed over for her dream job (in favor of her ex, no less). Miller Coulson-Burke has just lost his best friend in a tragic accident. These two lost souls cross paths and what starts as a budding friendship turns into something more. Together, they each find reasons to try something new and become who they were always meant to be.

Man Of My Dreams By Olivia Worley
Who can resist a romantic thriller like Olivia Worley’s Man of My Dreams? Ivy Harcourt is a bestselling romance author working on her second novel. One day, she runs into Liam, a charming architect with a British accent, identical to the love interest of her yet unfinished work. Their connection happens quickly, as does the rest of their relationship. But threatening messages start to pour in, and Ivy can’t shake this unsettling feeling that Liam’s hiding something. It doesn’t help that she also seems to be hiding her own secrets behind her unreliable narration.

Make Your Move By Melissa Brayden
Up next, Melissa Brayden’s latest sapphic rom-com, Make Your Move, comes out just in time for Pride Month and the height of Formula 1 Racing. Driver Reese Maddox gets recruited into Formula Next, an all-female racing academy. But she’ll quickly learn that raw talent is not all she needs to make it in Formula 1. Meanwhile, Sloane Foster is a former Formula 1 racer-turned-coach, here to prepare the next generation of female drivers. She’s not looking for complications, but keeping things professional with Reese proves more difficult than she’d care to admit.
Release date: June 16

Under The Oak Tree: Volume 3 (The Novel) By Suji Kim
Finally, we have Under the Oak Tree: Volume 3, which you might know better in its webnovel and manhwa format. We recommend blocking off a few days for this one because it is long. Volume 3 picks up right after Volume 2, where Lady Maximilian must now stay behind at a monastery while Riftan rides off into war. Maxi’s worry consumes her, however, and she soon makes her way to the battlefield against his wishes. Though her magic levels up in this volume, it comes at a great cost. Maxi and Riftan face their biggest relationship challenges yet, and we eagerly await the fourth volume.
Release date: June 23
