Publisher's summary

He's twice his size and a lot older, but will Mac let Quentin come out on top?

Quentin is searching for...something.

Respect.

Answers.

His identity.

Most of all, he’s searching for a man who will let him be in charge, despite the fact that he looks like an elf.

But all that will have to wait because right now, he’s searching for shelter after getting stranded in the middle of nowhere, New York with a massive snow storm about to hit.

He finds an unexpected host in Mac, a man the whole town seems to hate. Mac has secrets, but so does Quentin. Sparks fly between them, but can it lead to more when Mac is twice his size, a lot older, and practically a virgin...and when Mac can’t leave and there’s no way Quentin will stay?

Snow Way Out is a steamy contemporary gay romance with an age gap, a dash of kink, a ton of snow, a gentle giant of a man, and a bossy twink. It’s a stand-alone book in the Snowed In - Valentine’s Inc. series, which are only connected by the same writing prompt.

So amazing!!!

This my new favourite book from the author. It was amazing! I wanted to hug Augustus and protect him. He was the sweetest, most adorable and kind character ever. And Quentin was the perfect match for him and a wonderful character also. This story touched me so much. It was heart breaking and beautiful. The narrator did a BRILLIANT job, especially with Augustus voice. I'm really impressed.

Loved everything about this!

Wow what an amazing book! One of the best I have ever read by Nora Phoenix! Mac is probably one of my favorite characters she has ever written. A gentle giant with a heart of gold. And Quentin, oh he was a treat. Confident, self assured and a bossy twink, I adored him! The relationship between them was so real. They communicated, they worked through issues and challenges, they just got each other. The love flowed off the pages. The character development was exceptional, the connection between them was so realistic and their mutual exploration of what worked for them was wonderfully written. The book was smart, sexy, romantic and heartfelt...it was just perfect!
Ken Obi was amazing! His voice for Quentin was soft and perfect. But his voice for Mac, with his stutter, blew my socks off. It was so natural and so well done. As always the narration with Obi was smooth, well paced and on point!

Snow Isn't Always Bad

Quentin is such an adorable twink. While he isn't personality isn't typical for a twink, he is still lovable. Mac is too sweet. I loved him from the first moment he spoke. Both of these gentlemen have baggage and fears, but they learn to work them out. They each gives/show the other what the other is missing. Quentin shows Mac that not all people are jerks and won't look down on you for something you can't control. Mac shows Quentin that there is someone who likes his true self and won't try to change him.

Amazing on all accounts

This is by far one of the best performances I've ever heard from a narrator. From the stutters to the insecurity to the trusting conversations, all believable and 100% effect you in your core.

The writing was beyond what I expected. the story was cute, compelling, somewhat mysterious, and emotional.

The story felt like it was unraveling gradually opposed to all at once and the relationship between the characters was written with the upmost care. You can tell that the relationship the characters develop truly is something strong and you can't help wanting the best for them.

Additionally, there are A LOT of sexy scenes that are absolutely delicious and again the narration was fantastic. None of the scenes felt forced or just thrown in but again, like a gradual build again and again and I couldn't hello but love it all.

whirlwind

I loved this book. It touched many points, love, adversity, revenge, betrayal, hope, and surrealism. If you get past how fast the characters moved through their relationship everything is great. It was a palate cleanser on hopeless love affairs.

Evocative & achingly brilliant

Nora Phoenix has created a story with characters so layered, you will not be able to resist being drawn into their lives.
Kenneth Obi brilliantly brings the story to life. I have listened to dozens of books he has narrated, and this is his best. Kenneth was able to bring out just about every emotion. A tennis match of emotion worthy of Wimbledon.
Highly recommend!!!
