Can I tell you something?
Tell me anything and everything, and don't everrr stop.
Okay, I will absolutely, 100% recommend the audiobook for this one. It enhances the entire experience, and you'll love it. Adam Gold and Evelyn Rose were both phenomenal. Also, this is a duet narration, which I always love.
Cameron was a total snack and so thoughtful, sweet, sexy, and charming. He was attracted to Hannah from the moment he met her, but it grew when he found out that she knew about his erotic audio channel and followed him. I loved the way he teased her after he found out her secret but also was mindful of not making her feel awkward. I also loved the way he bonded with Ryan's parents and felt a belonging with them. Every time Cameron said, "Can I tell you something?" in that voice… oh God, I was a puddle on the floor.
Hannah is eager to get to her family's chalet to spend Christmas with them. After the way she'd been cheated on by two of her ex-boyfriends, it had taken a toll on her mentally and emotionally and had deeply affected her confidence too. The only man she has in her life is the audio erotica star Mac'n'please. So when her brother Ryan turns up to their chalet along with his best friend Cameron, who happens to be the very man she's been obsessing over, she feels flustered and cornered.
It takes a while for Hannah to admit to Cameron that she knows him, but once she does, she feels more relaxed and herself with him. Being with him also helped her come out of her shell sexually in a way she hadn't felt comfortable with before. I loved watching her be more confident and ask for what she wanted without feeling uncertain.
The romance was so sweet and tender between them as they slowly started getting to know each other in real life. Watching them trying to sneak around to find whatever alone time they could while being in the presence of Hannah's family was cute too. Cameron felt like Hannah saw the real him and not just the voice artist that people saw and wanted to claim. She put in the effort to teach him things, take care of him, and know more about him. For Hannah, who didn't want to fall for the wrong guy again while dealing with the insecurities of being cheated on, Cameron made his feelings very clear from the start and was always honest and direct with her.
The little bits of Mac'n'please we got at the start of the chapters were an amazing addition, and I was sooooo here for it.
I adored the Richmond family and how much they loved each other and looked forward to spending time together. The traditions in their family were so endearing and heartwarming—the father-daughter shopping spree, family puzzle night, the endless feasts, the fights over candies, the book gift exchanges, the skiing, the sledging, and everything else. Hannah's parents were so open, loving, and supportive, and it was so sweet to see them welcome Cameron into their fold so easily.
The spice??? Where do I even begin?? The audiobook was top-notch, and Adam Gold as Cameron was BEYOND perfect. Oh god, this man, his voice, the narration. Adam has done such a splendid job with the narration, with his accents and variations for different characters, which were easy to distinguish. AND the spicy scenes. HOLY FUCK!!! That was something else altogether. The smut was mind-blowing, and I had to stop everything I was doing because I couldn't concentrate to save my life. I really, reallyyyyy need Adam Gold to narrate a lot more romance novels.
I do wish we'd gotten a bit more into Hannah's need to work herself to the bone and why she felt like she had to always win. The winning thing was just an instance, but there was a remark she made there that kind of felt like more and also had some connection to her workaholic nature. I also wish Hannah didn't fumble so much around Cam and had more thoughts other than being horny for him.
