Publisher's summary

Best friends snowed in together. When the heat rises, will they get cold feet?

Getting snowed in at a remote cottage in Wales with someone he'd fancied for ages isn't exactly how Sam expected to spend Christmas. His feelings for Ryan are pointless. Ryan's straight - or so he thought.

Until now, Ryan's kept his feelings for Sam buried. Why ruin a friendship over what might only be gay experimentation? Playing it cool seems safer, until a cold snap makes sharing body heat vital. In their Welsh safe haven, anything seems possible.

As Ryan's reserve melts away, Sam wants more than stolen kisses under the mistletoe. But a sudden thaw means making decisions. They could face the New Year together - unless one of them gets cold feet.

I always enjoy a good friends to lovers romance. The connection is always easier when the couple has a relationship already. Ryan & Sam are sweet and young. Ryan is a little unsure about his sexuality but he knows that he is attracted to his best friend. Sam is also attracted to his best friend but since he thinks Ryan is straight, he struggles with it. Getting snowed in at a remote cabin in the woods gives them a chance to fall in love. This book was sweet and feels almost innocent, maybe because they are NA. I always enjoy books by Jay Northcote, the stories always make me smile when I finish.

The narration was good and I always enjoy his work.

Great narration and super sweet snowed in story

This was a really sweet Friends to Lovers, Out for You story with a Christmasy vibe and great characters.
I really liked the narration by the talented Cornell Collins, you can just tell he enjoyed the story and really added a lot of nuances to the narration.

The Snowed In trope worked well here, you get the feel of the Welsh countryside, of friendship and community. It's a delightfully simple romance that provides all you can wish for in a love story.
I recommend it highly for a low drama sweet romance.

a sweet holiday story

Cold Feet is a sweet, holiday, friends to lovers short story set in the UK about Sam and Ryan. Sam is openly gay and his best friend Ryan is straight, or that's what he appears to be to the outside world. When Sam and Ryan get snowed in together for Christmas their true feels for each other come to light. Ryan admits he's gay and Sam admits he's had more than friendly feelings for his best friend. This is a really sweet story as these two friends become more.
Narrator Matthew Lloyd Davies does a fabulous job.

Forced Proximity Over the Holidays

Friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes so Cold Feet was the perfect audiobook for me. I love all of Jay Northcote's books and Cold Feet was one of my earlier books by him. I do adore a good friends to lovers romantic story and Cold Feet delivered perfectly!

This was my first time listening to Matthew Lloyd Davies but he had a pleasant voice as Ryan and Sam. This was a well-paced audiobook with dual POVs from Ryan and Sam who are best friends and house mates in uni. Sam is gay while Ryan is straight and both men are supposed to on holiday in a small winter village while waiting for their friends to arrive. Due to a snowstorm, their friends can't make it so that leaves Ryan and Sam on their own. Snowed in while staying at their friend's remote cabin gives them the opportunity to fall in love.

Once their holiday is over, Ryan and Sam return to reality and have to figure out if they should pursue a romantic relationship. Both men quickly figure out what they want and it was a HEA for both of them :) Lovely, short audiobook that I enjoyed listening to over and over again!

Cute Christmas Story

I really liked this story. The friends to lovers is a trope that I really like, and these 2 guys were very likable. This story is a case of don't assume things about a mate, they could surprise you . This was well written story. I just had trouble with the narration. I sometimes got lost on who was supposed to be talking. Some will say that it was a predictable story, well if the book is in the Romance section and they get snowed in what would you expect.

Okay short story

I'm going to be honest. I didn't feel the chemistry between these MCs until almost the end of the book. Forced proximity is one of my favorite tropes. But I wasn't feeling it in this book. It wasn't written badly. It just had a hard time keeping my attention until after they got home from being snowed in. I did like that it was a more realistic description of being snowed in together. I like that there was a neighbor and that they got to go to the store for food and not just set in a cabin far removed from anything and everyone in the middle of no where. I liked the angst. I liked the ending. But this book just didn't do it for me.

Christmas treat

Cute little Christmas story that’s fairly predictable but enjoyable nonetheless. Low on angst, high on sweetness. I love how polite the MCs are and how considerate they are of others. The world needs more boys like these. My only complaint is that I’m not a fan of narrators who sound so much older than the MCs.
