What’s worse than being snowed in with your ex? Literally nothing.

Initially, the only thing Marshall and Marshall had in common was a name. Marshall (aka Data) lived his life around spreadsheets, while Marshall (aka Marsh) was an F5 tornado of chaos. Yet for eight years, they were madly in love. Until Marsh abruptly ended things with a half-baked excuse.

Six months later, Data gets a text from Marsh out of the blue: They need to clean out their cabin in Maine and sell it ASAP. He can make it through one more weekend with the man who broke his heart.

Marsh loved adding squiggles to the straight lines of his boyfriend. If only he could’ve lived up to the potential Data saw in him. If only he didn’t feel like he was one big miscalculation on Data’s ledger. Saying goodbye to Marshmallow Mountain will be the final tie to sever, even though he still pines for his number-crunching teddy bear.

But when a massive snowstorm traps them in their small cabin for days, they’re forced to confront hard truths about their breakup…as well as resist the sweltering heat raging between them.

These boys might be headed for a second act, but only if they can make it off Marshmallow Mountain.

A second-chance story for two men who obviously never stopped loving one another. We join them as they prepare to spend a weekend together in their jointly owned cabin, packing up and selling the remaining string tying them together. What could happen when the chickens predict heavy snow, and there's unfinished business? Of course, it isn't jumping straight back into things; neither wants to talk about the elephant in the room: that they both still love and want one another. Turns out, the second time around you can be 100% truthful; even the deep-rooted feelings need to come out this time so everything is laid out. Marsh needs to stop hiding behind his comedy and learn to be vulnerable.

There is maturity to the book; this is expected with having had a pre-existing relationship, but also their roles as a couple are well defined. Data is the practical one, who can deal with a broken window and chopping firewood; Marsh is the homemaker, making the warm meals for them both. These two men have a domesticated chicken and a snowstorm to thank for their rekindled relationship, and they had a big trip down memory lane. The end is a whirlwind of happiness, and I loved how Data helped with Marsh's dad.

Here is the thing you need to know about 'Marshmellow Mountain'.
This is my first read/ listen by this writing combo M.A. Wardell & A.J. Truman and I am sure I am coming back for more.
In my opinion it is a book about every day men who try to live the best life they can. Yes it can get messy at times. Yes you can change your mind/ opinion and status of relationships. My overall feeling that I tookt away from this book is; To get the life you want, it needs work, you may stumble, but itis all about the getting up again and finding the guts to try another time in all aspects of life.
Did I mention spice? Overall I would say it is pretty. spice. It has a hea/ hfn for the men on more than one level. 4*


The dual narration by Ryan H. Reid and Kirt Graves gives both mc's very varied voices and for me there is no possibility to mix them up. Ryan is a new to me narrator and I like find new (to me) voices, to mix it up a bit among tthe well known names. Kirt is an established narrator for me, his voice has the pro and con of being very recognizable and delivrts once again. Both narrators do a very good job with the colouring and intonation of each man.
Honestly I am not always a fan of dual narration, but when it is done right, it works really well like this time.

I was interested to see how this would turn out - would each author write one character, would it be clear who wrote which parts? But actually it was just a great story, with little elements reminding me of each. The culture references, the humour, all of it was amazing. I loved the rep for bigger boys in this - and just both of the characters were amazing, as well as there always being some great side characters. I was nervous for the narration as I love Kirt Graves, but Ryan H. Reid is new to me. I didn’t need to be though - what a beautiful narration voice - it paired really well with how I imagined Marsh to be and worked great in contrast with Graves.

A fab listen - definitely recommend!

Always going to be fantastic with two of my favourite authors collaborating!
