I just cannot believe how each one of these books in this series gets better. I’ve only read the previous book and this one so I still need to read the first book in this series.

This is probably one of the best enemies to lovers books that I’ve ever read and I loved every aspect of how Daniel finally lets his walls down and lets Shawn take care of him. But my goodness, what Daniel went through with Art and Tilly and how they used him was just awful.

And Nacho! I loved every aspect Nacho because he’s probably going to be the only feline he will be able to be around without freaking out.

The smut was so steamy and I loved how Daniel gave so many of his firsts to Shawn. I also loved how Shawn finally told Daniel about his family life.

I cannot wait until we get Aiden’s story because it’s going to be epic!

I received a copy of this audiobook and this is my honest review.

Love when you least expect it

Shawn and Danny’s story is amazing! I love the ride they take you on. Shawn trying to get through to Daniel because he likes him. I loved the audiobook just as much as reading the ebook. This series is a fun and fabulous series that walks you through the lives of friends and their relationships. I highly recommend listening to it!

E2L get snowed in

Daniel really disliked (hated??) Shawn in the beginning - which, to be fair, Shawn unintentionally made himself easy to dislike. Once they are trapped in a cabin during a snowstorm, they are forced to confront their feelings for each other and get to know who the other really is. There is some amazing spice, some great communication, some hurt/comfort and support, and a little ball of orange fluff. I enjoyed seeing the guys from previous books, even though they could be little sh*t stirrers when they wanted to be. Absolutely ready for the final book and for Aiden and Joe to finally get their chance!

Oliver Williams does a wonderful job of narrating. I have no notes - pacing, voice inflections and variations, emoting - it's just all done so well.

Loved

Oliver makes the story come alive and I enjoyed listening to it. This story is amazing and Oliver did a fantastic job narrating it.

Amazing Book with Top Tier Narration

Daniel is such a pure soul and I adored him so much. Shawn is sweet and a protector. I loved the two of them together snowed in and finding a kitten. This is the perfect winter feel good read. I loved the narration as well. He does such a great job of defining clear voices for each character. I loved it.

Heartwarming and beautiful

I rarely find myself fully immersed in a book from the first few pages, but Winter Ends captivated me instantly. The dynamic between Daniel and Shawn was raw and heartfelt.

I don’t personally experience panic attacks, however, the author portrayed them with sensitivity and authenticity, ensuring those who do are treated with respect and compassion.

I couldn’t put this book down. Shawn’s unwavering patience and gentle understanding of what Daniel was going through really showed how much he cared. What Daniel perceived as flaws, was nothing but what made him unique.

Shawn’s determination to heal Daniel made the story unforgettable, showcasing the power of compassion in healing. Joelle’s handling of mental health issues felt empowering, reminding readers that these struggles don’t define us but are part of what makes us human.


The characters were beautifully developed, and while I loved them all, Nacho was the unexpected hero.

Ultimately, Winter Ends is a love story that reminds us we are enough for the right person, and our past traumas do not diminish our worth.

I also appreciated the deliberate choice not to make the antagonists the center of attention allowing the focus to remain firmly on Shawn and Daniel’s journey. This choice made the book better and more compelling. If you’re looking for a heartfelt, empowering romance that tackles real issues with grace, I wholeheartedly recommend Winter Ends.

After reading it, I need it to listen to it as well. Oliver has become one of my favorite narrators. He did such a wonderful job with Shawn and Daniel. He captured them so perfectly.

Amazing!

Reading this book was amazing, but listening to it brings even more to the experience. Oliver is an incredible narrator, and draws you to the characters even more. I loved Daniel and Shawn’s story so much, and I know this is one I will return to!

Caretaker Come Through

The narrator did a good job on this book. it's my favorite of the series.

I love a caretaker who treats their person like the treasure they are. This book is adorable and these two bumbling through falling in love fast amidst overcoming the past is a book you will enjoy.

Great enemies to lovers

The audio for this book is really good. Daniel and Sean are not friends, well it’s really more Daniel doesn’t like Sean. They work together after Daniel moves to the area with his friends Chase and Nate who we meet in previous books. They end up snowed In together and everything takes off from there. Great story and excellent audio.
