A disastrous breakup. A doctor she would rather avoid. A favor that refuses to stay professional. Ali Hazelwood’s Bad in Bed brings academic rivals and a confidence crisis to an audio-first romance, with Brooke Bloomingdale and Teddy Hamilton leading the cast.
The English Audible Original was released on October 22, 2026. The English Audible listing identifies Brooke Bloomingdale, Teddy Hamilton and a full cast, with a running time of 8 hours 41 minutes. This guide covers the production and edition details; it is not a review based on a complete listen.
What is Bad in Bed about?
Billie van Buren is a doctoral student whose engagement ends in a humiliating public breakup. Her ex leaves her questioning herself, while medical fellow Dr. Maxwell Austin seems to have confidence to spare. Billie and Max have spent years needling each other. Now her statistics expertise gives them a reason to collaborate.
Their arrangement soon moves beyond work: Max helps Billie rebuild her sexual confidence, and a supposedly casual relationship becomes harder to contain. Expect an adult contemporary romance built around friction, vulnerability and the possibility that the person who annoys you most might see you most clearly.
Who narrates it: a duet or a full cast?
Both. Audible describes Brooke Bloomingdale and Teddy Hamilton performing the leads as a duet alongside a full cast. Bloomingdale plays Billie; Hamilton plays Max. This is Hazelwood’s first Audible Original and, according to Audible, her first full-cast audiobook.
The cast also includes Lee Osorio, Kelli Tager, Dina Pearlman, Tim Lounibos, Kalyne Coleman and Marc Vietor, as listed in the launch excerpt published by Woman’s World. If you choose romance audio for the performers, listen to the sample before deciding: a cast list can tell you who is involved, but your response to their voices is personal.
