Pride and Prejudice, read by Rosamund Pike
If you’re not content with watching Rosamund Pike as Jane Bennett in the 2005 film adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic novel, you can listen to her read it too.
The Saltburn star, 45, is the narrator for the 2015 Audible release which tells the story of Elizabeth Bennett, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr Darcy.
Sure, there are more racy erotic novels out there, but Pride and Prejudice is packed full of romantic tension and sexual desire – with Pike perfectly narrating every single moment.
Mrs Wickham, read by Jessie Buckley, Johnny Flynn, and more
Jane Austen spin-off Mrs Wickham takes place in the world of Pride and Prejudice, telling the story of the youngest Bennett sister, Lydia.
After being denounced by her family and exiled, she must find the courage to find herself a new place in society while married to the rogue George Wickham.
The 2022 romance story features a star-studded voice cast, including Fargo’s Jessie Buckley as well as One Life star Johnny Flynn, I May Destroy You’s Fehinti Balogun, and comedy icon Adrian Edmondson.
The End of the Affair, read by Colin Firth
Move over, Bridget Jones’ Diary – Colin Firth has something new to woo listeners with.
The film icon, 63, is the narrator for audio version of 1953’s The End of the Affair, winning him the Audie for Audiobook of the Year award in 2013 – it’s that good.
The book is set at the end of World War II and follows the end of a passionate affair between a deeply religious married woman and a writer.
Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, read by Christian Coulson
From playing He Who Must Not Be Named to a bisexual British lord – Christian Coulson is the voice of the hit young adult novel Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue.
Following in Firth’s footsteps, he even bagged himself an Audie Award nomination for best male narrator in 2018.
In it, Henry ‘Monty’ Montague goes on one last hedonistic hurrah across Europe with his best friend and secret love interest, Percy, before he must take over the family estate.
The Great Gatsby, read by Jake Gyllenhaal
If you’re not dazzled by the sultry 1920s parties of The Great Gatsby, Jake Gyllenhaal narrating them might sway you.
The Brokeback Mountain heartthrob, 43, is the voice of Nick Carraway in Scott F. Fitzgerald’s classic novel, who meets mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby.
As they become friends, he gets a first-hand view of Gatsby’s lavish West Egg parties and his undying love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan.
Dracula, read by Alan Cumming, Tim Curry, and more
Vampires are sexy – that’s just a fact. For decades now they’ve been a symbol of sex in horror.
While Bram Stoker’s Dracula is probably closer to horror than an erotic novel on most people’s list – we stress, most – there are plenty of intimate scenes between humans and vampires to get pulses racing.
And the multi Audie Award-winning audiobook features a thrilling star-studded cast, including Alan Cumming as Dr Seward, Tim Curry as Van Helsing and Simon Vance as Harker.
Winnie the Pooh, read by Tom Hiddleston
Okay, hear us out.
We’re not suggesting that the adorable creatures of the Hundred Acre Wood have sex appeal, but if you fantasise about Loki star Tom Hiddleston whispering sweet nothings into your ear as you drift to sleep – trust us.
The Hollywood icon teamed up with Calm to read the soothing, classic tale. He is also the narrator of the gripping thriller High Rise by J.G Ballard. Honestly, his voice could make us fall in love no matter what he’s reading.
