wonderful collection of ice queen stories

it was wonderful to find out
more of the history and continuing stories of Lee Winters ice Queens and villains

For fans of Ms Winter and those who will be

Storytelling at Ms Winter's level is hard to find. Having listened to over 1,800 audio books, I hope you find this recommendation useful and not just the "gushing on" of a fan. Pairing her works with the impeccable Ms Dawe? I'm left trying to find a way to add more stars.

I had previously bought all of Ms Winter's works that are noted at the end of each short story and had to have this one. All are equally recommended and will enhance your enjoyment of this title if read first. Any one of them can make you a fan is you are not already.

So much fun

Loved getting back into the lives of some of my favorite characters. The second to last story was definitely my favorite. Makes me want to listen to all of Lee’s books again <3

Excellent Stories, Fantastic Performance

A marvelous collection of stories! Lee Winter teases out more depth of her characters. A moment in time; a decision to be made. What are the factors, what are the obstacles, and how will our sheroes move forward? Such a treasure of enriching insights!

And Angela Dawe is, as always, wonderful with her character depictions, those inflections or hesitations which reveal brashness or vulnerability.

An excellent pairing!

This was nice

A look into the complex characters their motivations and insecurities and the women they love. It is great world building and to catch up with the characters that are beloved. Angela Dawe does a superior job of bringing each story and character to life.

Fantastic Adventures and Twists You Won’t See Coming

This audiobook is fantastic, from plot to prose to narration! I can’t wait for Book 2.

Seven hours and 47 minutes of pure fabulousness!

The gift of having all of these short stories on audiobook is truly indescribable. Lee Winter's books are some of the best in lesfic and in each of these short stories, we get wonderful glimpses into the current or future lives of some of our favorite ice queens.
Lee Winter said she believes this may be Angela Dawe's best work and I can't disagree. What I loved the most is how Dawe revisited some of the characters that she previously voiced and tweaked them. Like Maddie from The Brutal Truth. Her voice has a lower register and the Aussie accent is more restrained. Ridiculously sexy. Wow.
When DC Met Iowa. OMG. Hilarious and just perfect. I mean, really.
Number Five? First-Class Villains? I could go on and on about the deliciousness of every single one but I'd run out of space.
I do want to specifically mention Love is Not Nothing because it is a short story that takes place after Requiem for Immortals, an audiobook of Winter's that Dawe didn't narrate. Dawe didn't attempt to do Requiem's voice with an Aussie accent, here which was a solid choice. This was an interpretation of the character all her own. She brilliantly captured the menacing, panther-like, sexually charged presence of Natalya/Requiem. It was a thrill to get her take on it. And there was a completely new voice for Alison that I've not heard Dawe do before! For those of us that respect Winter's choice to find an Aussie narrator for the audiobook, it was such a treat to hear Dawe's performance of the short.
Absolutely terrific! As much as I cursed Audible for the too-delayed release, it was 1000 percent worth the wait!

Yes, please!

So good! I couldn’t quit listening and am going to go back for seconds, something I rarely do!
I’m in awe with Lee Winters’s work. She’s a fantastic writer and storyteller. And the range of her imagination is stunning. A true artist.
Angela Dawe is my favorite narrator. I could listen to her forever. She is flawless here.
All good things to say about this one…
