Summary

Best friends snowed in together. When the heat rises, will they get cold feet?

Getting snowed in at a remote cottage in Wales with someone he'd fancied for ages isn't exactly how Sam expected to spend Christmas. His feelings for Ryan are pointless. Ryan's straight - or so he thought.

Until now, Ryan's kept his feelings for Sam buried. Why ruin a friendship over what might only be gay experimentation? Playing it cool seems safer, until a cold snap makes sharing body heat vital. In their Welsh safe haven, anything seems possible.

As Ryan's reserve melts away, Sam wants more than stolen kisses under the mistletoe. But a sudden thaw means making decisions. They could face the New Year together - unless one of them gets cold feet.

Sweet holiday story

This is a nice, sweet, friends-to-lovers holiday love story with a very little of coming out drama and a perfect happy ending.
Narration is good. Maybe characters should have more different voices but I liked the narration as it is.

as good as the ebook

The story is always 4-5 stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook. I can't listen to an audiobook without knowing the book, that's not possible for me.

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. It took me a little bit, to come into the narrator, but at the end, it worked. I only have to take a few breaks between. I'm just not yet finish with the book, I’m over the half, but I listen enough to give a review.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:

5* - very very good
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A

3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

Forced proximity and miscommunication

I love Jay’s characters and stories as they are so realistic. This one felt particularly real as when people are uncertain and insecure they do tend to put the worst slant on things they hear - and don’t ask for clarification. I enjoyed the Welsh setting and the snowed in cabin.

The narrator is excellent. Very smooth and easy to listen to. He’s another of my favourites and I am happy to see him working with Jay.

A Snow-mance

Cold Feet is an adorable standalone romance that is perfect the winter holidays. Sam and Ryan head out to a remote cabin for a holiday get together, but when an unexpected snowstorm hits, they are snowed in together…all alone…with just their simmering (yet hidden) romantic feelings. Although the premise of the plot is not unique, Jay Northcote does craft a wonderful and delightful story that immediately sucked me in. Sam and Ryan, although they have an intense and amazing romantic connection, still have to work through the problems after their vacation ends. This book is filled with sweetness, romance, and mild angst (but with a happy ending).

The audiobook was narrated by Matthew Lloyd Davies who did a great job. I enjoyed Matthew’s voice and thought he did a great job with all the characters. The audiobook production was well done and overall I really liked the book.

A seasonal friends to lovers story

A seasonal friends to lovers story...what's not to love?

I have a fondness for this author's university age main characters and, although this story is different,  it somehow reminds me of the first Housemates book. (That is my absolute favourite Jay Northcote book.) Like that, this is another of the author's earlier books. It did have some limitations as it is a shorter read/listen. For example,  Ryan's relationship with his parents felt glossed over. It is, nevertheless, quite charming and just right for this time of year, and low on angst despite the misunderstandings near the end. It is also unashamedly British, which is always a plus for me!

This is, I believe,  my first listen to a narration by Matthew Lloyd Davies. He brought the characters ably to life and I loved Mari's accent in particular.  I will definitely look out for further narration by him.

Friends to lovers great book

I read this book a while back and loved it and in Audio I fell in love all over again.

It's a story of friends, one gay, one straight, alone together over the festive season and hidden desires surfacing.

Well written, well narrated and a lively feel good book. Did have to speed up the narration but I normally do.

All I want for Xmas is to learn to communicate!

All I want for Christmas is to learn to communicate better!
I loved all the premises: best friends secretly pining for each other, one of them struggling with admitting his sexuality; forced proximity with the two of them snowed in over Christmas; none of them sure the other wants to take things further than friendship.
But these two guys made me so mad! The lack of communication and assumptions Ryan and Sam jump to is absolutely maddening and frustrating. It takes one final, frankly completely unnecessary, fight for them to finally snap and stop with the half-mumbled sentences and barbs.
The book in enjoyable, all in all is a quick and cute and pretty sweet.

Fantastic Story

I really like the Matthew Lloyd Davies as a narrator. I adore his 'Englishness' and I enjoyed Sam's voice but I had real problems with a lot of the others, I especially didn't like Ryan's voice, it made him sound gormless and Mari's accent was really...strange.

The story I absolutely adored, as I did when I read it. It's sweet and cute and fluffy. Hot and horny and brimming with sexual tension. It left me with a case of the warm fuzzies.
Unfortunately the voices just didn't work for me and distracted me from the story.
