The Sultry Listeners celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2024! The original and only audiobook awards for 1.) the romance genre and 2.) nominated and voted by listeners!
In the beginning.... The Sultry Listeners Awards was born out of love of audiobooks in 2012 by Hot Listens and then The Geeky Blogger joined in on the fun a year later. Viviana, aka Enchantress of Books and a few other bloggers soon joined the team assisting with hosting certain categories on their blogs. Felicia took ownership after a few years wanting to keep it going for listeners, authors and narrators alike. Viviana continued to help in a variety of capacity including graphic designer, co-hosting and much more. In 2022 Felicia made the decision to retire from blogging and owning the awards. Instead of seeing them disappear, Felicia asked Viviana if she would take it on, otherwise the awards would be no more.
As of 2023, Viviana Izzo, became the organizer and owner of The Sultry Listeners Awards. The awards got a new look and a few new categories and rebranding occurred in 2024 with a new look!
Viviana Izzo is the owner and operator of the award-winning blog Viviana, Enchantress of Books, designed to connect readers and authors. In addition, she is the creator of the Audiobook Lovin’ Series, a month long event which occurs, in June and the Audiobook Lovin' Podcast.

Seeing that there was a lack of audiobook focused merchandise available for listeners Viviana launched Enchantress Of Books Boutique under the Enchantress umbrella!
