When Christmas Lights Are Blue

De: Harper Fox

Narrado por: Tim Gilbert

Rob and Karan are a great couple, but they're tearing apart under the pressures of modern life. They both work as paramedics for the NHS, and just before Christmas, their plans for the future are in jeopardy.

Rob knows he's on thin ice with the man he loves more than anyone else in the world, and he's at a loss to fix it. The job is getting tougher, and Karan, who's of Sikh descent, is facing violence on the streets in the wake of Britain's decision to leave the EU. Financial problems, hostile families on both sides.... Their troubles seem insoluble.

An emergency callout stops them on the brink of a final and heartbreaking row. In a forest on the bleak northern hills, Rob loses control of the van in the snow. The only gleam of light comes from a strange, lonely house among the trees. Lost, cut off from the world they know, can they find their way back to one another? It's the longest night of the year, and spirits are abroad among the pines....

second chances with a twist

I got this audiobook because I became a fan of the author and narrator when I listened to the Tyack and Frayne series. It was an interesting tale that plays a trick on the reader who is expecting that one thing happened, and instead it is something very different. There are bad past decisions, and misunderstandings that end up with a second chance and a little paranormal twist. I really enjoyed it.

Beyond words...

What an excellent short story. The tie in with what is going on in the world and how it impacts a couple on the brink of indecision. This story is chock-full of insight and wisdom and if one can garner what Harper Fox is attempt to give, makes this a must listen. Great story by Harper Fox and great narration by Tim Gilbert. Remember, we are not promised more than "now".

Another great romance, this time sans sex!

I love, love, love Harbor Fox‘s writing! I have listened to dozens of her books, and I loved this one just as much as — if not more than — any of the others. It combines her theme of the supernatural with her heart-wrenching depiction of love even at it’s most painful. I cried many times while listening to this short audiobook. It’s the only book I’ve ever listened to by Fox that didn’t have any sex scenes. I didn’t mind the absence of sex with the focus on love, and it just goes to show that the greatness of her writing is so much more than her sex scenes.

Short but excellent

Established couple with relationship in trouble, snow/holiday shenanigans, a tiny bit of paranormal, and so much emotional angst.

This is the kind of holiday related romance I'd read again and again.
