When London Snow Falls

When Snow Falls, Book 2

By: Hayden Stone

Narrated by: Dan Calley

Charlie Renfrew is too busy and too broke for a love life. There's no room in a schedule crammed with university, a full-time job, music, and his very committed relationship with overthinking. Hence the dating ban. Which is exactly when Ben Campbell shows up with his piercings, quirky knits, and indie rock fame. But maybe it's time for Charlie to trade caffeine for something hotter, blonder, and completely out of his comfort zone.

Gorgeous, funny men don't happen to Charlie. Not like this. Even if it's ill-timed and too bloody complicated. But maybe a quick shag won't hurt . . .

Sex might be easy, but being vulnerable isn't. Not for Charlie, his anxiety, or his precarious stack of responsibilities. It would be so easy to fall into Ben's world of cozy, snowy London where there's love and sex and possibilities. But Charlie already knows what happens when he goes off course. Not to mention the consequences. And when the snow melts, he'll have to put his heart back into a deep freeze . . .

Contains mature themes.

Cute and steamy romance with the wrong narrator

The story is cute and perfect for the romance genre. Is a novel of basically if they would just communicated, there would be no story to tell. Fluffy, swoony, and steamy.

HORRIBLE AUDIO. The reader has a fine voice and does a decent Scottish accent. However, the reader's voice is much older than the 21/25 year old main characters. Also, I have listened to over 200 audiobooks and generally, the reader has a slightly different voice for the actual dialogue and inner musing/narrator parts of the story. It was incredibly difficult to tell when actual dialogue was being spoken and when it was internal dialogue.

Different, But Good

It was different from the last book I read from the same author, but it was still a great read.

Good follow up

This was an enjoyable second book of the series. It was too repetitive throughout the entirety. One main thing I did like was the inclusion of kink without making a big deal out of it, as well as having a kid while still being queer.

Cute but hard to follow at times

This was a cute story, but the narration was hard to follow and the dialogue was a bit monotone and sentences clipped. At times I wasn’t sure which character was speaking despite the narrator trying to use Scottish and English accents.

Just brilliant

Everything about this story was well written, well narrated, and just all around lovely. I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend.

Lovely story

Lovely story. Enjoyed the join of these two boys. I could listen to the narrator speak in a Scottish accent all day!

I loved the ending. . . .

The narrator did well with the different accents and mix of male and female voices required for the narration. I liked the storyline and the happy ending.

Loved narrator’s accent and quirky Ben.

2.75 rounded up to 3 ⭐️ I had to listen till the very end to make sure I’m right. Narrator was good, I enjoyed his British accent and it was the only thing that made me continue, I guess 😅🙈

It’s not quite boring but.. I was tired of back and forth between MCs. I understand and can relate with Charlie’s anxiety disorder, though, so his way of thinking and impulsiveness is justified for me. Yes, it’s hard sometimes.

I just wanted maybe more.. anything really! Not just his anxiety and insecurities 😐 Music, relationship development, his kid, some more concrete situation with his parents (can’t figure out if he understood that he deserves better and decided to spend less time with them, at least). Just too many topics that didn’t feel finished 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lovely story

Really enjoyed the performance and the story. I really rooted for Charlie while he got in his own way over and over.

Loved the story!

Okay. At first, I wasn’t too into the narrator, but as the story kept going. I was started to get into the story much more.
He did well portraying the two MC’s.

Again. Author is amazing, captivating the story in a way that just wants you want to continue after the book ends. Love the nod to Aubrey and Blake in the story!

Honestly, at this point. I will sign up for any book the author has to offer!
