A good daughter, a quiet and a grim yet handsome and successful man of trade. A hasty decision and a second chance will soon leave you swooning!!

I loved everything about this Victorian romance, from the parents I wanted to throttle to the handsome merchant who felt he wasn’t good enough to the noble daughter who put up with entirely too much.

I confess I owned this on my Kindle and snatched it up because of the gorgeous cover. I had planned on reading it for the 2020 Ho-Ho-Ho readathon, but then I discovered it was on Audible Escape and devoured it during a 3 month membership deal. I am so glad I listened!

Alex Wyndham narrates this four-hour novella, and I grinned the entire time I listened. It transported me. I became completely caught up in the comings and goings, the awkward exchanges and those kisses. Oh my!

I am looking forward to discovering more of Mimi Matthews works and look forward to listening to more of Alex Wyndham’s narrations.

A Holiday by Gaslight had all the elements I love in a historical romance and just the right touches Christmas. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
