Michael Ferraiuolo narration style is so endearing

I just adore Michael Ferraiuolo narration style. There are moments and certain words that are so endearing when he speaks.

He truly brought this lovely tale to life.

Lovely

Absolutely loved this! It reminded me more of a Mary Calmes/Greg Tremblay combo, but it was just wonderful. Not Mr. Lanyon's usual crime story but a story about love and second chances. Short and sweet. Packed with emotions. Friends to lovers to ex-lovers to lovers again. Nicely done! Great narration. As usual, Mr. Lanyon found the perfect narrator! Highly recommended. Grab some hot chocolate and snuggle up and enjoy! :-)

3 stars = I liked it and it was a GOOD listen

This is a solid three-star book. By that I mean that I enjoyed the story, enjoyed the characters, was entertained, and did not feel as though I wasted my time, but it doesn't necessarily stand out among the thousands of other books I've read or listened to. I'm sure some may see this as a slight, but it's not a bad thing in my personal rating system.

I found Baby, it's Cold to be an interesting twist on a holiday story and second chance romance, of sorts. I mean, how many people would go to the trouble of pretending to have been hired to cook for their ex in attempt to get them alone so that they can discuss their break-up and, if not reconcile, at least find a way to be friends? Seriously? It is a rather convoluted plan, but within minutes of spending time in Jesse's head, it made sense on a character level. Of course, very little goes as planned and I couldn't help but feel for Jesse. I groaned at the uncomfortable situation Jesse found himself in when Rocky's agent showed up. Just as I felt bad for him when he started showing signs of coming down with a cold. I found myself laughing out loud more than once over the course of the two-hour listen. It was a solid story with a great narrative performance that kept me engaged and entertained for a couple hours. So while I enjoyed it, I didn't necessarily love it.

This is the second audiobook I've listened to that was narrated by Michael Ferraiuolo and I have to admit that I had no idea. His performance on Baby, it's Cold was drastically different from the other audiobook I've listened to - not in his talent, but in the accents of the characters. For me, that says a great deal about his narrative talents and all of it good.

I look forward to checking out more of Lanyon's writing and Ferraiuolo's narration.

NOTE: I listened to this title via Audible's Romance Package.

Short but cute

Any additional comments?

It was a nice little story, mostly looking back at the relationship that went wrong. I like the snowed in together in a cabin trope, but I would have liked a bit more focus on talking about the now and future. To me personally the resolution felt a bit sudden, but all in all very nice.

It's cute

Standard weekend love triangle. Of course Josh Lanyon delivers great, diverse, believable, likeable characters.
