On a Midnight Clear

De: Lily Morton

Narrado por: Joel Leslie

It can safely be said that Lord Barnaby Greenwood is not having the best of Christmases.

He’s penniless, up to his eyeballs in debt, and about to lose his estate. Therefore, it’s hardly surprising that when a local property developer offers a lot of money to buy King’s Wood from him, Barnaby is very tempted. But his father had always impressed on him that the green wood was sacred and must be protected at all costs, so he finds himself saying no.

He knows this will result in the loss of his home, but duty comes before everything. However, that fateful decision leads instead to a magical Christmas for Barnaby, complete with an old god who grants him a favour, and a beautiful statue that comes to life.

Cosmo is perfect for him. He’s funny and kind and completely enraptured with Barnaby, and for the first time in his life, Barnaby falls in love. But how can this lead to anything but heartache, when on the last stroke of midnight on Christmas Eve, Cosmo will go back to being a statue and take Barnaby’s heart with him?

From best-selling author Lily Morton comes a truly magical romantic comedy.

Magical Xmas Feelings!

This was a sweet, low angst, fluffy, feel-good listen. As Cosmo comes to life each day he introduces Barnaby to a truly magical world. This was a different style from the author's usual work but I found it a nice break from reality and it put a smile on my face and made me feel warm and fuzzy. Joel Leslie is really great, as always, and the perfect choice to bring Barnaby and Cosmo to life!

A brilliant Christmas story...

brilliantly narrated by Joel Leslie again. I will read or listen to this tale of magic and love, or magical love, for many Christmases to come, hopefully. The story is exceptionally British, atmospheric and as always imbued with Lily's wonderful brand of humour and snark.

Sweet Holiday Magic

This is such a sweet and enjoyable holiday story full of magic and romance. I really enjoyed this beautiful story and listening to the wonderful narration by Joel Leslie only added to it.

I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion

Christmas Magic

Never scuff at Christmas magic, or the witching hour.
If you let yourself believe you will get rewarded.

Amazing sweet and a little quirky. And absolutely perfect.
Great narration.

Tears and Love Fairytale

I read this wonderful story of sadness, despair, laughter, loss of love and cried. Then at the end found a huge smile through my tears. For me it was a perfect story for Christmas and any day I need to be uplifted. Perfectly narrated.
