Cold Nips & Frosty Bits

By: Tracie Podger

Narrated by: Kitty Kelly

Living between Scotland and Kent with the dashing Scot Ronan and a collie called Max, Lizzie can finally settle into a relationship with someone who gets her...most days.

Drama llamas and fainting goats aren’t all that Lizzie falls in love with, though. There’s the caravan she has named Christine.

With the menopause creeping up on her and Ronan hinting at marriage - neither of which Lizzie was rushing toward - decisions have to be made.

Follow Lizzie and Ronan on yet more humorous journeys of middle-aged relationships and the menopause!

Cold Nips & Frosty Bits follows on from Limp Dicks & Saggy Tits.

Hilarious, cozy, and romantic!

This follow-up to my favorite rom-com, “Limp Dicks and Saggy Tits”, more than lives up to the first volume’s amazing standard of excellence. I am so pleased with the continuation of Lizzie and Ronan’s romantic relationship and the hilarious situations in this audiobook, and I can’t wait to listen to the third and final book. I laughed a lot. Ronan’s Scottish parental figures, Maggie and Charlie, are such a hoot! Maggie has so many lines that made me chuckle, and Gerald the goat is priceless. Ronan made some truly romantic gestures that made me so happy for Lizzie. They are so sweet and saucy together. The author has a real gift for hilarious dialogue. I also love the distinct sense of place that the author conveys. I could even visualize and smell the cold wind on Ronan’s Scottish estate.

I totally recommend this series to everyone who loves rom-coms and/or British comedies. The books must be read in order. There is some swearing and some funny jokes about anatomy, but all of the love scenes are fade-to-black. There is minimal drama in this really fun story.

The narrator Kitty Kelly delivers a tour-de-force performance with perfect comic timing, an impeccable variety of British accents, and exquisite emotional impact. Her Scottish accents are phenomenal. I really hope Kitty Kelly narrates many more audiobooks in the near future.

I requested and received a free audiocode from the author via Audio Bookfly, and I voluntarily wrote this honest review.

The hero and heroine for all of us!

This series is awesome. I read the first one last year at the aggressive prompting of a friend, and I adored it. Lizzie is the heroine for all of us! She has stress urinary incontinence, she's over 40, her body is imperfect, and she leaves pilates because she has to fart. It took me longer to warm to Ronan, but I am 100% Team Ronan now! In this book, we see Ronan and Lizzie grow closer and weather some personal issues. It was hilarious as expected, and I truly enjoyed every part of it. I love catching up with the crew in Scotland, Ronan's romantic gestures, and all the hilarious situations Lizzie finds herself in.

The narration is flawless. Perfectly suits this book.

I cannot wait to listen to the novella when it comes out and honestly, I hope the series continues because they are such lovely characters.
