5.0 out of 5 stars Better Than a Hot Toddy
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2014

Leave it to Andrew Grey to come up with a perfectly logical and sweet holiday story. Duncan has had his romantic confidence shattered and is on assignment in Germany where at least he can use his doctorate and experience in aeronautical matters to supervise the construction of a huge telescope.

Georg is a co-worker who wanders into his space one day and before you know it, they are entwining their fingers while walking through the streets of German towns during Christmastime. That Georg comes from an aristocratic and tolerant background and Duncan is a middle-class guy whose Dallas-based family has shunned him since he came out, lends a little more romance to the story which also contains a great deal of heat. Sweet, swift read, perfect any time of year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Christmas story Ever..Loved it

Duncan was a PhD working on a special project for NASA in Germany. He came from Boston alone and lonely until one day at work he meets the project manager, Georg, who worked for the contracted company there in Germany. Both were very open to each other about being gay and it starts a beautiful journey of romance, Hot Sex, and Love. As time went on their feelings for each other became stronger, but they both knew that the project they were working on would eventually end after Christmas. They knew there was not a lot they could do about the fact that Duncan would be shipped home with the mirror he was working on and their relationship would end. Like the saying goes 'It is what it is'. So they decided to make the most of every day they had together. Duncan even moved from the hotel he was staying at and moved to Georg's house. Love was growing between them and Georg gave Duncan the best Christmas present he could ever wish for. If you love MM Romance, Hot Sex, and Love, you definitely will love this one. This is a must read.

Stardust is a well written pleasant Christmas novella that leaves you with all kinds of heartwarming feels. I have yet to be disappointed in the tales Andrew Grey brings to life and Stardust is no exception. A great addition to my holiday library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Christmas Short

This is a nice way to bring in a little Christmas spirit. Good character development, a HFN end with the promise of a possible HEA eventually. It would be great to see a Valentine's Day sequel with Georg and Duncan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review by Barb
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2016
Duncan is in Germany, overseeing a project for his company. They design glass mirrors that are used in NASA projects, and though Duncan is an engineer who isn’t usually sent to oversee his designs, he’s volunteered because the coworker who usually does this job has a pregnant wife due to deliver during the same time frame, one that encompasses the Christmas season.

Georg, the project manager from the company creating the mirror, makes his visit more memorable when he befriends Duncan and shows him around. The two enjoy each other’s company and, after a while, start to become romantically involved. They’ve each agreed to enjoy the time they have before Duncan has to go back to the US, and they know their romance may go nowhere, but as the holiday approaches, they’ve moved beyond platonic friends and have fallen in love.

This is a short audiobook nicely narrated by Andrew McFerrin and done in the inimitable style of Andrew Grey. Andrew plus Andrew equals a winning combination! As the blurb states, the chances of Duncan and Georg having anything beyond a brief fling are as elusive as stardust, but the author has a pleasant surprise for us at the end of the story that gives readers and listeners hope for more for this engaging couple.

If you need a quick pick-me-up on a cloudy day, by all means, reach for this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars short and sweet
Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2016
Independent reviewer for Divine Magazine, I was gifted the audio file of this book.

Duncan is halfway around the world, in Munich, on a job, at Christmas time. But it was his choice, so he shouldn't grumble, too much. A colleague drops in to see how he is doing, how the mirror is coming along and something sparks between Duncan and Georg. Something magical. But something with a rapidly approaching deadline.

My first and foremost thought after finishing this was, short and sweet and cute. I'm not normally one to read or listen to Christmas themed romances (especially in February!) and I must have missed the bit on the blurb that says the book was part of the Dreamspinner Press Advent Calendar 2014 but I really liked it!

Its single person POV, in the first, which while I don't much like to READ books written that way, I do much prefer to LISTEN to them. So although only Duncan gets a say, I was happy. No idea why its different for reading and listening, but it is.

Its also only short, 1 hour 50 minutes listening time or 66 pages reading. But sometimes you just need a short listen/read.

Andrew McFerrin narrates.

Its the first of his work I have listened to, and I have added him to my ever growing favourite narrator list. His reading voice is clear and even, and his voices are easily defined. I liked the voices he gave the characters, they fit, just right. Duncan's emotions came over in all the right places and all the right ways. I shall certainly listen to other work by this narrator.

Especially if its a collaboration with Andrew Grey. Again, my first book by him. Won't be my last. Indeed, I'm currently half way through Love Comes Unheard, in audio but its a different narrator. I would like to READ something longer by Grey, these two books are on the short side.

Summing up, short and sweet, not overly sexy, but it wasn't needed here, just what you need to wile away a couple of hours driving.

4 stars for the book
4 for the narration
4 overall.

I so loved this story, especially because I live where the story takes place. Andrew Grey takes us on a journey with his main characters that you just feel like you are with them. I finished this story with a sigh and a huge smile on my face. Now I am getting ready for Christmas. Thank you, Andrew Grey for another beautifully written story.
