I was just looking at this. Audible has done an extremely poor job of saying just what this package IS--it's a borrowing program, like Kindle Unlimited for romance books. After some searching, I finally found more about the terms here.

Plus it's really hard to navigate through the selections. The books are divided into categories, but there doesn't seem to be a way to organize them within those categories. And if you're doing an Audible search, there's no indication in the search results that a book is part of the package--you have to go to the specific book page to check, which is annoying.

I don't read romance generally, but I did skim through the thriller and gothic categories, and there were a handful of books that had some appeal--one or more titles by Jane Austen, Mary Roberts Rinehart, Phyllis A. Whitney.

Wish Audible would do a mystery/thriller package!
