Good premise, but overblown sex encounters and lack of general storyline ruins it. Book description too vague,needs to be more explicit as not suitable for some listeners. Would return it if no bought on sale.

My first experience with the author was Two Necromancers series and I can’t get enough. Narration is well done with just the right touch of dry humor. For a whimsical story the characters are filled out and world development is good. I’m looking forward to any other stories by the author.
I love this book in print. I have re-read this and the Chstmas novella countless times. But Joel Leslie’s Henry wasn’t my Henry. My Henry is bold and his confidence soars as the book evolves. Joel’s Henry stays in the background with a breathy voice and no self confidence. I have heard other books by..
Lately, I have had a hard time getting into anything super fluffy or without high stakes, which has been tricky during my annual reading/listening of winter/winter holiday setting books.

Performances were terrible
Review from Unspoken Vow →
The performances did a great disservice to the storyline. I actually had to stop listening and read the book instead.
DNF for now
Review from Seducing the Sorcerer →
I might get through it, seems like it might be a good story. I like Joel Leslie in general but don’t understand the directorial/artistic choice of the fake accent of the main narration. It’s jarring and makes it hard to actually enjoy.
Absolutely beautiful
Review from Beautifully Unexpected →
This may be my favorite Lily Morton. Gorgeous love story. Finally a romance involving men over 40. With no chiseled abs. Successful men. Complicated men. Funny, bright, scared, lovely men. I cried. I laughed. It was everything.
story ok, one narrator bad
Review from The Happy List →
I just do no like Joel Leslie’s voice and his reading style. His accent is not sexy and he gets all breathy and whiny-like in his narration. I hate his intimate scenes especially. And, I think his accent just was not appropriate for this character. They other guy was good and I just kept hoping..
