Tell Me What You Want

About This Audiobook

Lucia Franco doesn’t just write romance—she crafts raw, emotional collisions of longing and familiarity, and *Tell Me What You Want* is her sharpest yet. The premise is simple: a woman filming a podcast episode at her family’s cabin is ambushed by her older brother’s childhood best friend, a man who vanished from her life six years ago without explanation. But the execution is anything but predictable. Franco’s prose crackles with the kind of tension that makes you hold your breath, blending aching nostalgia with simmering attraction. The cabin setting isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a character, claustrophobic and charged, where every shared glance and loaded silence feels like a ticking clock. If you crave romance that digs into the messiness of unresolved feelings, this is your next listen.

The dual narration by Lidia Dornet and Sebastian York elevates the experience from great to *unputdownable*. Dornet’s voice carries a breathy vulnerability that’s perfect for the protagonist’s emotional whiplash, while York’s deep, measured tones ground the story with a quiet intensity. Their chemistry isn’t just audible—it’s electric, especially during the charged silences between them. The production is crisp, with just enough ambient hum to immerse you in the cabin’s isolation without distraction. Franco’s storytelling thrives on specificity, avoiding clichés by zeroing in on the small, telling details that make the romance feel visceral.
