Living between Scotland and Kent with the dashing Scot, Ronan, and a collie called Max, Lizzie can finally settle into a relationship with someone who gets her…most of the time.
Drama llamas and fainting goats aren’t all that Lizzie falls in love with, though. There’s the caravan she has named Christine.
With the menopause creeping up on her and Ronan hinting at marriage – neither of which … marriage – neither of which Lizzie was rushing towards – decisions have to be made.
Follow Lizzie and Ronan on yet more humorous journeys of middle-aged relationships and the menopause!
Cold Nips & Frosty Bits follows on from Limp D*cks & Saggy T*ts.

This follow-up to my favorite rom-com, “Limp Dicks and Saggy Tits”, more than lives up to the first volume’s amazing standard of excellence. I am so pleased with the continuation of Lizzie and Ronan’s romantic relationship and the hilarious situations in this audiobook, and I can’t wait to listen to the third and final book. I laughed a lot. Ronan’s Scottish parental figures, Maggie and Charlie, are such a hoot! Maggie has so many lines that made me chuckle, and Gerald the goat is priceless. Ronan made some truly romantic gestures that made me so happy for Lizzie. They are so sweet and saucy together. The author has a real gift for hilarious dialogue. I also love the distinct sense of place that the author conveys. I could even visualize and smell the cold wind on Ronan’s Scottish estate.
I totally recommend this series to everyone who loves rom-coms and/or British comedies. The books must be read in order. There is some swearing and some funny jokes about anatomy, but all of the love scenes are fade-to-black. There is minimal angst in this fun story.
The narrator Kitty Kelly delivers a tour-de-force performance with perfect comic timing, an impeccable variety of British accents, and exquisite emotional impact. Her Scottish accents are phenomenal. I really hope Kitty Kelly narrates many more audiobooks in the near future.
I requested and received a free audiocode from the author via Audio Bookfly, and I voluntarily wrote this honest review.
Fun and frolics, drama with a llama, fainting goats, a caravan called Christine and much more, but especially the growth and continuing romance between two wonderful characters in Ronan and Lizzie.
This was a fabulous follow up to Limp Dicks, I needed a good laugh and this book absolutely delivered. Lizzie and Ronans relationship is so natural and honest. They are an older couple and author Tracie Podger has kept it real….aching joints, bodily functions that affect us all and poor Lizzie dealing with the menopause (I’ve learnt a few things about that too and recognise a few of the symptoms I’m starting to get, so I totally sympathise!) However this couple are in love and despite the difficulties life throws at them, are proving they are far from past it!
Lizzie and Maggie’s antics made me laugh out, Joe made me cross, Ronan made me swoon and the story, drama and the wonderful description of Scotland kept me turning the pages (and made me want to visit).
If you are after a pick me up, a giggle, an easy stress free read, Cold Nips and Frosty Bits is just the ticket (but read all about Limp Dicks first 😉 )
4.5 houdini llama stars
Absolutely brilliant!
The hilarity continues with a lama, a goat, a caravan and so much more.
I seriously didn’t want this book to end. Highly recommended!
I love how real this is, all the hot flushes and leg crossing, sleep disruption and mood swings. There’s no prettying it all up, it’s welly boots, gloves, scarves and thick coats all the way. But there is also a strong love and understanding, a melding of two very differentives into a new combined one, complete with an oddity of animals that all have their own quirks. Max, a decidedly unloyal dog, a llama that just loves to escape and investigate where ever it suits her, a goat that is just theatrical from one extreme to the other and a little piglet just following along for company. There are some testing times and some welcome new ventures, funny moments and more serious ones. Throughout it all the reader is entertained and kept enthralled with the love that just flourishes between this couple and those closest to them. I loved reading this and the previous book, I can’t wait to read the final part to get all the loose ends tied up with a pretty pink bow on top.
This is the second book following Lizzie and Ronans relationship. From the multi genre author Tracie Podger. The first book Limp D*cks and Saggy T*ts was an amazing and fun read. This book doesn’t dissapoint either. It has lots of laugh out loud moments that will have you laughing so hard that you may need to aquire some Tena Lady . It’s been a joy to read this book and escape the things happening around the world at the moment. This book will definitely give you a reprieve and lots of laughs.
