Frost and Flame

De: Becca Storm

Narrado por: Becca Storm

'Some miracles only come in winter.'

On Christmas Eve, Daniel Hale expects nothing but silence. A reclusive writer with words locked deep inside him, he has grown used to empty nights and a quiet home at the edge of town. But when frost begins to bloom across windows in impossible patterns, Daniel follows the shimmer and discovers something—or someone—extraordinary.

Lumi is no ordinary stranger. A spirit of winter, she has walked the snowy streets for centuries, unseen, blessing the weary and the hopeful with her touch of frost. No one has ever looked at her. No one has ever asked her to stay. Until Daniel.

As the night deepens, firelight melts into laughter, secrets are shared, and a fragile spark of love begins to thaw the loneliness in both their hearts. But dawn is coming, and Lumi’s bargain with the frost means she cannot remain past sunrise. Choosing love may mean losing everything.

A tender, magical novella about belonging, wonder, and the choice to risk everything for one perfect Christmas.

A Winter Spirit, a Lonely Writer, and One Perfect Christmas Eve

If you’re craving a holiday story that feels like stepping into a snow globe—soft light, glittering frost, and a love that warms from the inside out—Frost and Flame by Becca Storm is the novella you want waiting on your nightstand.

This isn’t a sweeping epic or an action-heavy fantasy.
It’s something gentler.
More intimate.
A story that slips into your heart like the first snow of the season and settles there quietly, beautifully.

❄️ A Writer Who’s Lost His Words & A Spirit Who’s Never Been Seen

Daniel Hale has grown used to silence—the kind that follows grief, the kind that fills an empty house, the kind that doesn’t just surround you but seeps into your bones.
On Christmas Eve, he expects nothing more than another quiet night.

Then frost blooms across his windows in swirling, impossible designs.

And when he follows the trail of shimmering ice, he finds Lumi—a winter spirit who has watched over countless souls through the centuries…but has never been noticed, never been chosen, never been asked to stay.

Until Daniel.

Their connection is instant but fragile, like breathing warm air into cupped hands on a cold night. As they talk, laugh, and trade the truths they’ve held close, their loneliness softens into something hopeful. Something tender. Something like love.

But dawn comes fast.
And Lumi, bound by ancient winter magic, cannot remain past sunrise.

❄️ A Cozy Christmas Romantic Fantasy That Feels Like a Miracle

This novella is everything it promises to be:

✨ cozy
✨ magical
✨ atmospheric
✨ deeply emotional
✨ quietly romantic

Becca Storm doesn’t rely on grand gestures or complex plot twists. Instead, she focuses on the small, breathtaking moments that make us human:

shared warmth beside a fire

the courage to be seen

the ache of grief meeting the spark of possibility

a simple act of choosing someone

You can see the frost swirling in the air.
You can hear the hush of snow outside the window.
And you can feel the chemistry between Daniel and Lumi—soft, cautious, but undeniably powerful.

Their connection isn’t rushed. It’s built with intention, like a candle being lit in a dark room. You feel their loneliness, their longing, and finally, their hope.

❄️ Why This Story Stands Out

This novella shines because it’s:

beautifully written

emotionally grounded

steeped in Scottish winter mythology

full of heart and vulnerability

perfect for a single-evening read

There’s grief here, yes.
But there’s also healing.
And wonder.
And the quiet, tender thrill of two souls recognizing one another.

It’s the kind of story that makes you believe there is magic in the world—especially at Christmas.

❄️ Final Thoughts

Frost and Flame is a sweet, luminous winter romance about a lonely man rediscovering his voice and an immortal spirit discovering—for the first time—what it feels like to be chosen.

It’s not flashy.
It’s not loud.
It’s comfort in book form, perfect for readers who want softness, magic, and the simple miracle of connection.

If your ideal holiday read involves:
✔ cozy fantasy
✔ a touch of mythology
✔ deep emotional intimacy
✔ frost-kissed magic
✔ bittersweet longing
✔ a love story that feels like a warm hand in yours on a cold night

…then Daniel and Lumi’s Christmas Eve will wrap around your heart like a scarf against the winter chill.

A tender, enchanting tale—one that proves some miracles really do come in winter.

Heartwarming Christmas Story

Frost and Flame is a heartwarming and endearing story of a mortal and immortal who both understand loss and sacrifice. Each has known the deep pain that comes from such experiences. One Christmas Eve, they both find a deep connection with each other as they share vulnerable moments from their past. Together, they tentatively hope for a possible future together. The narrator's accent gave the story a Celtic feel, which was a nice touch to listening. This was a very sweet Christmas tale.

Good

I really thought this was a quite an interesting book and I really like that. She pays so much attention to detail and a character are very interesting.

Subtle and lovely

🧣 Tropes:
- Reclusive artist meets magical stranger
- Christmas miracle
- Spirit/human pairing
- Emotional healing through connection
- Found family vibes

This one’s quiet. Not in a boring way more like the kind of story that sits with you. Daniel Hale is a writer who’s pulled away from everything, and Lumi shows up on Christmas Eve with frost magic and a softness that feels like hope. There’s no big twist or dramatic arc, just two people learning how to be open again.

The romance is gentle. It’s not spicy, and it’s not loud. It’s about presence, about being seen and held when you’re used to being alone. Lumi’s magic is subtle frost patterns, warmth in the cold and Daniel’s grief is handled with care. It’s introspective, a little sad, and really lovely.

Becca Storm narrates it herself, and her voice fits the story perfectly. It’s intimate and soothing, like someone telling you a secret they’ve been holding onto for a long time.

If you’re in the mood for something soft, magical, and emotionally grounded, this is worth picking up. It’s the kind of winter story that makes you want to light a candle and just listen.
