Veterans Day is a special time to pause and reflect on the courage, resilience, and selflessness that military service members embody every day. Growing up with a veteran father who served in the United States Air Force, I’ve always had an appreciation for the bravery and heart of those who serve. And if you’re anything like me—drawn to stories that capture that strength—you’ll love these romance audiobooks. (It wasn’t planned, but each one is narrated by Teddy Hamilton!) These books remind us of the power of love, connection, and the courage that carries over from the battlefield to everyday life.

I'd Rather Not (KPD Motorcycle Patrol, Book 3) by Lani Lynn Vale, narrated by Erin Mallon & Teddy Hamilton

Oakley Spurlock is dying. She only has weeks to live thanks to a freak infection that totally and completely destroyed her kidneys. Despite her family’s desperation, not a single one of them is a match. In a last-ditch attempt, Oakley’s father takes to social media to beg for help to save his daughter’s life.

Pace Vineyard is lost. So lost, in fact, that he’s not sure he wants to be found. But then a beautiful woman’s face is splashed across social media, and Pace finds a spark in his soul for the first time since a bomb went off beside him. He’s already missing two legs. What’s one more kidney? At least, that’s what he tells himself. What he doesn’t expect is to give his heart to the woman too. Or for the woman to run away with it and force him to follow.
