Summary
Last month, Alex Barrow's whole life imploded - partner, home, job, all gone in 48 hours. But sometimes when everything falls apart, better things appear almost like magic. Now, he's back in his Michigan hometown, finally opening the bakery he's always dreamed of. But the pleasure of opening day is nothing compared to the lonely and beautiful man who bewitches Alex before he even orders.
Corbin Wale is a weirdo. At least, that's what he's heard his whole life. He knows he's often in a fantasy world, but the things he feels are very real. And so is the reason why he can never, ever be with Alex Barrow. Even if Alex is everything he's always fantasized about. Even if maybe, just maybe, Corbin is Alex's fantasy too.
When Corbin begins working at the bakery, he and Alex can't deny their connection any longer. As the holiday season works its magic, Alex yearns for the man who seems out of reach. But to be with Alex, Corbin will have to challenge every truth he's ever known. If his holiday risk pays off, two men from different worlds will get the love they've always longed for.
Contains mature themes.

Enchanting!
I love slow-burn romances, and this was just so sweet. And passionate at the same time! The writing felt very fluid and there was a quality to the prose that sometimes made it feel like almost like a poem. It gave the story this feeling of magic and enchantment, although there was also this darkness there, and I liked the deeper theme about being different and being rejected by society because of it, and finding the courage to accept that you are such, and even then you can be loved and happy.
It did leave me with questions about the state of mind of the MC and if maybe, it was somehow downplayed and some medical assistance would be required in reality, but I suppose it works because it's not stated explicitly.
Narrator suited the story and the characters I think, but sometimes felt a bit lacking, especially in the more emotional scenes.
Overall I liked the story. It's worth a credit, if you like slow-burning romance with a bit of angst, and a bit broken characters not healed, but accepted with love.

Stunning...
This is one of the most beautiful books I've had the pleasure to read - like being enveloped in a shimmering cloak of images, sensation and warmth; just exquisite. Read this book as an act of self care!

Simply wonderful
I thought I’d made a mistake with the choice of read as the narrator seemed flat. So glad I continued….. the characters came alive and I instantly started to fall in love with the adorable Corbin. It as one of those stories whereby when you reach the end it feels like losing a friend! I have listened to many books and this one really touched me.
It will appeal to romantics.
I will certainly look for more titles from this author and also ones read by the same narrator.

this was a wonderful magical whimsical story with a slow burn romance with a bit angst. this is not my usual style of book but must say i enjoyed it was unsure at the beginning but glad I stuck with it. Chris Chambers as narror brought the mystical elements of corbin and Alex to life with so much emotion. this author is new to me highly recommend.

It was ok but was missing something
It has been a while since I’ve listened to a book by Roan Parrish, but I remembered liking them, so when I saw there was a new release I got it straight away. I know what this book was going for but it just seemed to miss something. It reminded me a lot of The Law of Moses series by Amy Harmon, and some of her other work, but where that series grabbed me by the heart, this one simply didn’t. I love atypical love interests so I’m a bit disappointed. Don’t get me wrong, it was an ok listen - just not what it could have been.

Virgin love blossoming with the threat of a curse.
A tale of 2 hearts one older wiser and slightly broken. Another, seemingly pure, blossoming and so removed from reality that the sanity of the person is in question. Necessity and loneliness has given corbin an outlet to survive (his drawings). Alex has his baking. Both very different people but the spark of attraction and the pull of forces bring them together.

Character voices OK but otherwise fairly dull...
I adored Corbin & Alex, but was otherwise quite disappointed by the narrator's flat delivery of the story...other than for the actual characters themselves. Chris Chambers' general pitch and tone was low and monotonous [which unfortunately reminded me of Paul Morey and Robert Nieman...not good at all 😔]. 2.5 stars rounded up. I understand Gareth and Orin will eventually get their own story.

Quite poetic
It was different and at times it made me feel uncomfortable but I quite like it because of it. Definitely a story that stands out.
Making-love parts were very poetic.
