Snowbound Secrets #1

Can I Tell You Something?

Rate this book
Hannah Richmond is about to spend Christmas with the man of her dreams.
The man of Hannah’s dreams has no idea she exists.

Hannah
I’ve been desperately looking forward to Christmas in my family’s snowy alpine chalet. Two blissful weeks of skiing, eating, and sneaking off for 'naps' to listen to my favourite audio erotica star.

Yes, the man who warms my bed each night may have no idea I exist, but that doesn't stop me fantasising that his spicy stories and filthy words are for my ears only.

It's set to be the most relaxing Christmas ever. Until my brother shows up… with an unexpected guest.

Cameron
I’d planned to spend the holidays working. Just me, my microphone, and a lot of new content for subscribers of my audio erotica channel.

When I convinced my best friend to fly home and surprise his family, I never expected he’d take me along for the ride. I didn't expect to find myself halfway up a mountain. And I definitely didn’t expect to find out his sister is my biggest fan.

4.5 stars: Living many of our dreams Hannah

Imagine meeting your favorite male narrator… that does very naaaaaughty audio recordings in real life? 👀 and he ends up being one of your brother’s closest friends 😬😅 who has banned him from ever doing anything with you because of it 😬 (Who needs brothers anyways 😒😐😑🤣🤣🤣).

FYI- the audio is 🔥🥵💦 (and free through Hoopla 👏🏻). Duet narration for the win 🔥

Hannah’s excited to go on vacation with her family. Every year, they get together and she can’t wait because she needs a break from work and just enjoy her time relaxing. When she’s alone, she enjoys listening to her favorite audio erotica male actor, Mac’N’Please 👀, whom she not only listens to religiously (when she’s alone 😉🔥), but she also follows on social media 👀.

Cameron decides to go on vacation/holiday with his friend Ryan. He doesn’t have the most present family, so he’s looking forward to spending time with him to see what it’s like being around a united family. When he meets his sister Hannah, he’s enthralled, and basically thinks she’s hot 👀😉.

But she kind of acts like she doesn’t like him at first 😬. So he’s curious as to why 😅.

It’s because Hannah knows who he is 👀 she knows he’s the man her ears know intimately 👀 and she’s flabbergasted 😅.

And then he figures out she acted that way with him when he finds her on social media and sees that he can follow her BACK 😅, which means, she knows who he is 😉 and has been following him for some time 😅.

And now he’s the one that wants to get to know her intimately 👀. Let the sexual tension begin 😮‍💨.

What I liked/loved: potential spoilers
—the tension 😉. Uffff 😮‍💨. The sparks fly with these two

—the 🔥 I’d expect no less 💁🏻‍♀️. I love that Cameron knows just how to get Hannah going 🫠 especially because of…

—his dirty mouth 🥵. Jeeeeezus Cameron 🫠. There’s a reason he makes money off of his voice and words 🔥💦

—the edging and attention to her 💦. Yup 💅. Cameron knows what he’s doing 😉

—the way they get to know each other 🫶. It’s not just 🔥 which I luuuurve (but it’s a lot of it, so be warned 🤣). I was here for it all 😉

—the side characters/family ❤️. I love how supportive her family is, even when her brother acts like an a when he finds out about them 😅

—how they embrace each other’s lives and futures (including when Hannah helps him in the epilogue 😉)

What I wanted more of:
—for it to be longer 😭

—a better epilogue 😭 maybe a bonus novella would be nice 👀

Overall, I loooooved this ❤️👀

2.5 ☆ one pussy clap to adam gold for makin my ears twerk

now i’d do swaps with physical and audio, when i read the words on paper, ain’t feel a damn thing, audio switch and tha puss launched, applauded, threw a parade and the physical away

100% a case where the audio makes it much better than it is. also embodies the novel mostly the mmc— who is an audio porn voice actor— perfectly. voicesussies was voiceussin’ it right, added in his own spin of groans and moans too, mhm get dat decibel zaddy on more audiobooks NEOW. in fact go make that quinn acc pook 🫱🏾(‿¤‿)🫲🏾 🎧

see i will absolutely, unapologetically thirst over male thirst traps or sound porn any time, any day

BUT let me sit and think about the logistics of a grown man setting up to record, edit, replay and watching himself back— or whatever dafuq they be doin tryna recreate fake spanking, kissing, slapping sex noises aaaaanddd…. i’ll get icked ☠️

conclusion on itself, objectively, mid at best but the audiobook is unexpectedly good? and a great quick listening experience. so if u plan to read it don’t, trust, LISTEN to it

For all the audiobook girlies out there: If you’re hunting for a holiday romance, please, listen to this one IMMEDIATELY.

❄️ The Setup
Hannah heads to her family’s chalet in the French Alps for a peaceful Christmas — skiing, snow, sugar cookies, the whole cozy package. She’s desperate for a break from her London law job and a little alone time with her comfort-listen: Mac’n’Please, the audio-erotica voice actor she may or may not be mildly obsessed with. (If you’ve ever had a crush on a narrator… trust me, you’ll feel very seen.)

Her brother isn’t supposed to show up. Until he does — with his roommate. Who just happens to be Cameron. Who just happens to be the real voice behind Mac’n’Please. Yes, you may scream now.

⛷️My thoughts
Okay, listen… I devoured the audiobook in one sitting and spent the rest of the day giggling and blushing. This was SO MUCH FUN.

It absolutely delivers on spice — oh, does it deliver — but it also nails the cozy, low-drama Christmas vibe I wanted.
No miscommunication. No unnecessary third-act breakup. Just warmth, chemistry, and holiday charm.

The family moments were adorable, the side characters were great, and the teaser for Ryan’s book has me ready for more.

And yes: the earbud scene (Chapter 23 🥵) lives rent-free in my mind.

🎯Final Take
Short, sweet, festive, flirty, and just stupidly enjoyable. Honestly? I loved it so much I wasn’t ready to leave the chalet.

And seriously: the audiobook is the correct way to experience this story.

Tropes / What to Expect
🎄 Christmas romance
🏔️ Forced proximity
☕️ Brother’s best friend
🎧 Audio-erotica voice actor
😉 Sneaking around
😮‍💨 Praise kink, spanking, dirty talk

This book is a perfect little present box of:
Filth and Cutesy 🎀

I never thought I'd use those two words together for a review (or for anything), but here we are.

Cameron and Hannah is me. I am them.
Their relationship is absolutely adorbale and dare i add again, FILTHY. 🤭😋

I LOVED IT!

Read this when you're fresh out of your book slump. Highly recommended if you want to fill your READ BOOKS and are into men w smexy voice. Yum.

4☆ Romantic XXXmas vacation for your brain (and maybe ears?) 🔥 ❄️ 🎄 🥰

This was a LOT of fun, y’all. I mean…the fantasy of a dirty, dreamy book boyfriend come to life? With hot chocolate, perfect in-laws, France, and snow? 💝 Ohh la laaa. Donnez-moi!

➳❦ After a long day at work there’s nothing better than a self administered O and falling asleep basking in the afterglow with a man who’ll never leave you, hurt you, or do you wrong. Why would you bother with a real man when you could have an audio one talk you through pretty much any fantasy scenario you can think of? The closest thing I can compare it to is someone ringing me for top tier phone sex, calling me a good girl, and then shushing me to sleep. It’s practically a meditation exercise at this point.

Ironically, I now have a crush on a RL audio narrator (ruh roh).😂 Adam Gold’s voice is manna from heaven. Sadly I found the female narrator’s voice annoying on the sample (I’m a picky B 🤷🏻‍♀️) so I enjoyed the on-page version instead. But all those little snippets of Cameron/ Mac‘nPlease audio erotica are delish, no matter how you get them. These two had great chemistry, yummy forbidden sexiness, tension-filled forced proximity, and the awkward she-knows-that-he-knows-that-she-knows-who-he-is from her DM obsession with his, ahem, body of work…in front of her whole family lol.

The way Cam fell for Hannah super quickly was really sweet. And it was fun to have a book boyfriend who, like, knows he’s a book boyfriend, but is also a real boyfriend, and knows all the tropes, and loves the tropes, but they’re not just tropes because they’re in these actual situations? Ok that made me dizzy. Anyway I also loved all the French ski alps stuff, and the detailed, decadent food was just torturous. I got sooooo hungry so many times, so be ready for that. All of this to say, read it if you want a yummy, sexy, cozy, funny, forbidden brother’s best friend with found family and a romantic XXXmas vacation to whisk you away from it all. 👌🫦😎 (The correct answer is Oui, merci).

➳❦ I’m struck with a vision of my future. My shoes, her shoes, and a bunch of little ones, all in a row. Her mouth, currently pouting away at the book I bought her, belongs underneath mine. I feel that in my bones. 🫠 rffhgavsmxk

This was great!
Must listen to the 🎧 Audio it just would not be the same.

He’s a audio smut author
She’s a mega fan
Her family takes a 2 week trip to the Swiss alps for Christmas and when her brother shows up with his friend and roommate she is shocked to find out it’s her audio crush.

He is immediately attracted to his best friend’s sister but why is she acting so weird? Well he is determined to find out.

This was short, hot as all hell and super sweet. The Christmas viibes were strong and soo soo cozy.
Swiss alps, snow, skiing, cabins and jacuzzis. Lots of food and family. It was great. And surprisingly super sweet. I loved their chemistry and it was beyond just sex.
👌🏻The audio aspect was a huge bonus.

I will say in the beginning she was a bit cringe w her fan girling… that’s why this isn’t 5 stars. But at least it doesn’t last forever but at first I was like…😬😬

‼️ I highly recommend this as an audio book I don’t think it would be the same without it.

‼️This was a great Christmas read and the smut did not over power the romance.

‼️SAFE

What do you do when you lust after a audio guy online and find out he's your brothers best friend and he's staying with you for the holidays lol that's what Hannah and Cameron are dealing with well at first when Hannah knew it was her crush online things could've been okay until Cameron checked his dms and found out she Listens to him and confessed she got off on him lol.

So lots of banter lots of sweet moments between the two. I thought the secret would drag a little more, but it was funny. We do have the whole brother and him fighting. Because the brother thinks he fucks woman to make audios. Which he doesn't. The rest of the family is sweet.


I don't think I'll read the brothers book. It's a awhole friends with benefits long distance bs.

This was SO fun and the only way to read this is through audio, so PLEASE read the audiobook!

The hero is an adult content narrator and goes home with his best friend for the holidays. Little does he know, his best friend's sister is a fan of his and he's immediately intrigued by her. He looks her up online and sees that she follows his narrator account, which means she knows exactly what he does. They spend more time together through the holiday season and start falling in love. The audio aspect of this was so cool and I loved that the heroine already knew who he was and loved his work. That came into play in a fun way throughout the story! I definitely recommend this as a fun and unique holiday romance!

“Hey Hannah…?”
“Yes, Cameron?”
“Can I tell you something?”


This is one of the sweetest, cosiest, and spiciest holiday romance novellas I have ever read. It’s holiday perfection with everything you could want, filled with all the Christmas vibes and aesthetics, and I just loved it all. From romance to spicy scenes to Christmas time, everything was so good.

Cameron was amazing. He’s so thoughtful and kind but also a bit crazy in a golden retriever way. He fell first and harder for Hannah, and I loved seeing him being such a dork for her. His skills and dirty mouth were so hot, and he’s so swoony and charming. Hannah was so sweet and caring, with a gentle heart. I loved how she ignored Cameron only to drive him crazy about her.

“Happy that nobody else is touching you. Mad because your body is gorgeous. It deserves to be touched and worshipped and adored.”


Cameron and Hannah make such a cute couple, and I absolutely enjoyed their friendship, their love story, and how they blended so naturally into each other’s lives. The way they teased each other at first and how they fell in love with each other was such a precious thing to read about. Their chemistry was palpable and so good, even though they spent only a fortnight together. But it was the instant connection and easy friendship that made me love them.

“Can I tell you something?”
“Mhmm?” “I love you,” she smiles, eyes floating closed as she nuzzles into her pillow.
“Can I tell you something?” I press a kiss to her cheek, resting my forehead against her temple as she drifts off. “I love you more.”


This has the audio erotica narrator and his biggest fan trope, and I never thought I would love it, but it really surprised me. I read this in audiobook format, and I think that’s the best way to enjoy this book because the narrator did an astounding job bringing the characters to life, especially Cameron’s narrator. His accent and voice were so sexy. I think I need to find a Mac n’ Cheese too, because who wouldn’t want a sexy voice whispering dirty little things in their ear? Better if they’re real, like Cameron.

This was excellent! No notes!

I will admit that Holiday novellas, romances, and themed stories are not my favorite thing. I'm rarely in a mood to focus on a certain time of year. It's just something weird about me. However, as is often the case with ALC's, I was sold by the premise and the enthusiasm I saw some other readers showing for this book.

I'm so glad I trusted their gushes because this was truly a fun time. If you're a book listener like me, who has favorite narrators or a crush on a performer, you will feel a kinship with Hannah. I understood her so well and it was easy to put myself in her shoes.

I also really liked Cam, and how he fell into his "side gig" as an erotic voice for sale on the internet. It's and awkward job to explain but he provides a very important service, believe me! He was just such a likeable guy and I think his characters gives some humanness to the men who provide our ears with orgasms. They are more than a voice and deserve their privacy but they doesn't mean they aren't looking for love too.

So when he goes with his roommate for Christmas vacation and the little sister of his friend happens to be a devoted listener... well, he may test the waters to see if she's up for some play. Which is gonna get spicy for us all!

This was a really great story and in my opinion, a bit more than a novella. But do yourself a favor and get the audio book. It's written so you don't HAVE to, but you're really missing an important dimension to the story if you do.

Narrated in the Duet Style by Adam Gold & Evelyn Rose. They were a delight and they put their all into this performance.

5 stars
3 on the spice scale

CW: bit of spanking, some semi-pubic play

I stumbled across this thanks to my holiday binge reading + KU, and I'm glad I did. Somehow this, while it started rocky, ended up being hot & intimate without that disconnected feeling I can get it I try erotica.

It's definitely love/lust at first sight and relies, for the heroine on a parasocial relationship to the audioporn performing hero, which I was not super comfortable with. It also has that major patriarchal pitfall of the overprotective brother but it was sweet and hot and I want more set in the alps without my having to know how to ski.

In short, as I am quitting Xmas books, this was a fun hot read that was sex positive and I enjoyed it, and it didn't let me get hung up on its issues.

I randomly threw this on audio because I saw it was on hoopla for free. Why the fuck was this so good?! The male narrator had me weak in the knees.

This was the perfect Christmasy vibe without being over cheery and cheesy. Our FMC is obsessed with an audio porn narrator and it just so happens he is her brother‘s best friend and he ends up on her holiday vacation. The dynamic between these two was just so good. I loved the way he was messing with her for being a fan and all the flirting he was doing had me so giddy.

This was the perfect little short SPICYYYY holiday book, I’m so surprised with how much I enjoyed it🤭🥵

Overall Rating: 4.83
Spicy novella for the festive season... or any season ;-)!
Engagement: 5.0

I could not stop listening to this audiobook. First - top-notch voice acting from Evelyn Rose and Adam Gold. I could listen to that man read a telephone book and it would make me all hot and bothered :-). The characters were charming and the storyline simple, flirty, and fun to listen too.

Storyline: 5.0
ADULT CONTENT: for 18+ readers only. This story follows our FMC, Hannah, during her annual Christmas vacation with her parents and brother. Shortly after arriving her brother shows up with his best friend, Cameron, who happens to be an audio erotica content creator... and Hannah's secret crush. He finds out she's a fan and sparks fly between the two. The story has plenty of spice, especially in the second half, so if you like spice - this book is for you!

Readability: 4.5
The audiobook is told with two narrators, Adam Gold and Evelyn Rose, voicing the MMC and FMC respectively. There were a few chapters under Mac-n-Please (I'm assuming that is the spelling as I was listening to the audiobook) which were difficult to listen to at first because I didn't realize these were snippets of Cameron's alter-ego audio content. Other than that, this book was easy to listen to, and did not have a complex plot or myriad of characters to try to remember. Anyone over 18 (due to adult content) should have no issue reading or listening to this story.

The tag line should be - Smut audio narrator crashes best friend's family Christmas and meets one of his biggest fans, which happens to be the best friend's little sister.

Spicy, short, entertaining.

Gah some of this made me cringe so hard. Like the beginning was so fun and cute and then it became insta lust and the chemistry didn’t justify it. I literally couldn’t understand what they liked about each other.

The amount of words dedicated to describe the foods they consumed was over the top. Probably could take 5 pages out of the book if it was omitted.

Also the brother’s interest in their relationship felt downright Incestuous at times. Unfortunately the potential just wasn’t filled for me.

Sometimes a book is made for audio and this was one of them! I’m sure it was great in print, but since Cameron is the star of his own audio erotica show this is a must listen. The tension between him and Hannah was off the charts and made the romance aspect so so hot! It has its sweet moments too, but good lord it was spicy. Both narrators were amazing but I can see why Hannah was addicted to Cam’s audios, Adam Gold was incredible

This one has to be listened to because the audio is brilliantly done. Dual narrated exactly like I've always wanted where the male parts are spoken by the man and the female parts are all spoken by the woman. To add to this, the story centers around a woman who find herself accidentally spending her ski chalet Xmas family holiday with her brother's roommate who she is meeting for the first time and who just happens to be a voice born actor she is a massive fan of. Yes I said voice worn actor. Which means the story while funny and cute is also filthy spicy.
If you are looking for a quick Xmas spicy audio this is sure to entertain and tick all those boxes.

This was fun! Probably could have been shorter for me cause I did start to lose interest and got what I wanted out of it already. The audio was great and on hoopla, so if you want a little something different for a holiday novella, this is it!

Basically he’s an audio erotica voice actor and she’s a fan who loves listening to his scenes. She is going to her family’s chalet to spend the holidays together and her brother’s best friend is there too, which happens to be the guy she listens to. She immediately recognizes who he is and he figures it out shortly after when he goes to look her up on social media and realize she follows his account and has messaged him in the past. A steamy fun time ensues!
