Just a Touch Away

De: Jae

Narrado por: Abby Craden

An enemies-to-lovers lesbian romance with an ice queen whose frosty facade is melted by the power of touch.

Hannah Martin has an unusual job: she's a professional cuddler. While she has a big heart for her clients, she hasn't found someone special to snuggle up to in her personal life.

Winter Sullivan isn't looking for love. She's an aloof workaholic who's built walls of ice around herself. She would rather drive toothpicks under her fingernails than cuddle, and she certainly doesn't want to share her space with anyone.

When Winter's estranged father dies, he leaves her one last surprise: she and Hannah, a perfect stranger, will inherit a building together. But there's a catch: first, they have to live together for ninety-two days.

Winter is determined to dislike her rival, but soon finds Hannah isn't what she expected at all. Thanks to a hilarious doormat war, a cuddle dare from Winter's half sister, and a kiss in the most unusual of places, the frosty fortress around her heart begins to melt.

Will she be able to accept that love might be just a touch away?

Contains mature themes.

Jae!

I’m a huge fan of Jae! To pair this wonderful writer with the phenomenal Abby is a no brainer 5 star for me. Even though this may be thought of as a typical F/F romantic HEA, there is always more meaning to Jae’s writing. Always worth a credit where either writer or narrator are concerned. If you enjoy typical romantic drama - girl meets/loses/gets back scenarios, which is honestly one of my biggest pet peeves of this genre - then you may score this a little lower as this doesn’t have that. Definitely a slow burner.

Cuddle Bugs

Hannah Martin is a professional cuddler and loves her job. Winter Sullivan is a marketing consultant and has no interest in love or cuddling. Winter’s estranged father leaves a building to Hannah and Winter as long as they live there for ninety two days and live under the same roof. An ice queen and a teddy bear are both forced into a relationship. How in the world will they survive? Great work and narration.

Frustrating all the way to the end

I have never heard of a professional cuddler but I can say that it is an awesome thing to do for a career. I did not like Winter to begin with but you will by the end.

Loved it!

The story line was great and very cute! I could not stop listening, so I devoured this book in a day! This is the first novel I listen to from this author, I am now hooked! Also…I learned something from this book and author (sorry, I don’t want to give it away to those who have not read the book, but once you do, you’ll know what I am referring to), and that is always a plus!

Abby Craden’s performance was outstanding! She never disappoints!!

Wonderful story

Loved how the author developed both characters and how, despite their differences, they created such a beautiful love connection

Good Storyline!

Overall I thought it was a cute storyline. Not too familiar with a-fantasia, but I do know a lot about being neglected by your father.

Slow burn forced proximity sapphic romance!

Amazing story! Interesting, so many feels, captivating and endearing. It was so nice to be swept away to Hannah and Willow’s world and be free to be immersed in the emotions and growth of their relationship. A very frosty slow burn that just scorched and thrilled when those touches and openness between them arrived and developed into so very much.

Yummy

This enemies to lovers book was just what I needed. I learned so much about professional cuddlers and aphantasia while enjoying the story! Written by Jae and narrated by Abby Craden so you just can’t go wrong! The story is engaging and well written.

Love love love

I love all of Jae’s books. Please read this and get lost in the pages!

Loved it

The combination of Jae writings and Abby Craden narrating is a winner. I loved the story line, loved the characters, even Brooke was well written. :)
Looking forward to more books by Jae…
