Marion Catterall Unveils Audiobook Edition of “Hold Me Close and Closer Still”

Acclaimed romance author Marion Catterall is proud to announce the audiobook release of her compelling novel, “Hold Me Close and Closer Still,” highlighting her ongoing partnership with Blind Heroes Worldwide. This collaboration ensures that Catterall’s deeply emotional storytelling remains accessible to all listeners, especially those who rely on audiobooks or other inclusive formats.

“Hold Me Close and Closer Still” follows Christine Delaney, a 44-year-old widow who finds herself drifting through a lackluster existence after her husband’s death. Unbeknownst to her, the missing ingredient in her life is romance—until she meets Henri Chartress, a wealthy French musician. What begins as a passionate one-night encounter evolves into a turbulent affair riddled with jealousy, insecurity, and dramatic confrontations.

Even when Christine marries Henri, their marriage is overshadowed by his controlling nature, lingering infidelity issues, and a nagging feeling that neither money nor status guarantees happiness. As she grapples with her own passivity and reluctance to take charge of her destiny, Christine unexpectedly becomes entangled with Andre, Henri’s brother—a twist that catapults her into a life-altering dilemma.

Throughout the narrative, Catterall seamlessly blends scenes of sensuality, heartbreak, and psychological tension. Readers and listeners will find themselves torn between empathy and frustration as Christine wavers, complicating every relationship in her life. Despite—or perhaps because of—Christine’s flaws, her journey unfolds in a fast-paced, intimate story that offers a raw look at love’s capacity to both heal and wound.
