As long as you can separate out the audiobooks, and they're in some sort of order, you should be ok. Put the files for each book into their own folder, then put the folders into your MediaMonkey watched folder one at a time.
For my setup I use D:\Music and subfolders, like Unsorted, Sorted, Audiobooks, Podcasts, etc. I've set up MMW (MediaMonkey for Windows) to watch Unsorted for new files and put them into an Unsorted tab in MMW. From that tab I tidy up the metadata and then run the manual auto organize tool. This moves the newly sorted files into the various other folders depending on what they are.
In your case I'd move one audiobook folder into Unsorted, then check that the tracks are listed properly, even if it's just track 1, track 2, etc. Select all the files, right click one, and select properties. From there make sure that the type near the top is Audiobook, then put the book title for album name, and author for artist and album artist. If you have a picture of the book cover, you can use that as the artwork by browsing to it from the artwork tab. With the files still selected, press CTRL + R to open the auto organize window. Make sure that Move and rename files is selected at the top, and set up a mask in the destination box to make sure everything goes to where you want it. I've posted a sample mask based on the base folder being D:\Music and explained it here:

My mask would move the audiobook into D:\Music\Audiobooks\(Book Title)\ but can easily be changed to whichever folder you want.
This doesn't give the individual chapters names, but should list them all in track order, and your player should do the rest
