I've actually lost count of how many times I've re-listened to Blame It On The Mistletoe which became my default comfort listen after I got it a few months ago. Which, as you can imagine, is completely counterproductive to clearing the pending items in my Audible library. As soon as I finish anything Jason narrates, the first thing I want to do is listen to the audiobook again. My biggest problem with Jason Frazier is. What does Jason Frazier bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book? Short, sweet and funny with excellent narrator. I adore his narrations and give this one a 6 out of 5 stars. There are a few truly gifted performers in this genre who bring a story to life more than just tell a tale and Jason is one of them. I’ve said it before and it still holds true, Jason’s narrations remind me of the old days of radio soap operas in that he can create this entire “movie” without pictures for us just by how much personality he puts into each one of his characters. I had read the book before and was not impressed by the story overly much (as you can tell by review) but when I saw that Jason Frazier narrated the book I had to have it anyway. He gets inside the heads of all the characters and makes them all unique and outstanding. (It is a HEA, though.) Writing/Editing 3 Romance 2 Sex/Heat 4 Storyline 2 World Building/Characterizations 5 Humor 5 – it is really funny! 3.5 of 5 stars Audio: Jason Frazier, hands down is one of THE BEST narrators of this genre. I really needed Danny to do more to win Julian back and the lack of “making up” left a sour taste in my mouth. The romantic in me was just so unsatisfied by the ending. For me it was a miss (not enough to deter me from trying another Ethan Day book). I think that this is one of those books that will either hit it’s mark and make you a fan, or it will count as a miss.
As the story progresses we see and finally “understand” more about Danny and his motivations, but it was really hard for me to forgive him… and that, ultimately influenced my opinion of the book. Gabby, the female best friend also provides comic relief. His mother is hysterical as well, and has a big heart.
Julian is a hysterical gay man with a lot of fun quirks – clumsiness, sugar addiction, a flair for fashion. Julian has had a crush on his roommate, Danny, forever, and just when he’s given up on having him – ie moving on – Danny makes a play for him. The narrator alone is worth buying this audiobook!
