Snowed In by Teodora Kostova
3.0
***Audiobook Review***
I didn’t care for the sound of the vocal performer’s voice but he did have different voices for most of the characters and wasn’t totally monotone. He sounded very young and was hard for me to listen to (and yes I’m an EXTREMELY prickly audiobook listener).
This wasn’t my favorite story by Ms. Kostova. I like the idea of the story – an almost second chance romance, getting snowed in to face and hopefully reconcile their past. But I had a few issues with the book.
I wasn’t crazy about either character although I think I liked Nate better. Nate is pretty immature but he is young so I can’t fault him too much for that. I think he gave in to and forgave Quinn way too quickly which I attribute to his bone deep love for him that never faded. Quinn was just selfish coward and really self-absorbed. The reason for ceasing all communication after basically treating Nate like a trick was absolutely anticlimactic and didn’t warrant Quinn cutting Nate out of his life. I just couldn’t believe that he couldn’t communicate AT ALL with him in those two years. They do get what I consider a HFN. I don’t feel their relationship is totally resolved and steady for the long haul so I’d have to see more to be convinced of that. They do have good chemistry and their intimacy was endearing.
This story did have some good moments and it is a quick read or listen for a snowy cold day.
