Story
Hidden away in rural Devonshire, Phyllida Satterthwaite has always been considered more odd than beautiful. But in London, her oddity has made her a sensation. Far worse, it’s caught the eye of the sinister Duke of Moreland - a notorious art collector obsessed with acquiring one-of-a-kind treasures. To escape the duke’s clutches, she’s going to need a little help. Captain Arthur Heywood’s days of heroism are long past. Grievously injured in the Peninsular War, he can no longer walk unaided, let alone shoot a pistol. What use can he possibly be to a damsel in distress?

Story
She wanted sanctuary... Helena Reynolds will do anything to escape her life in London, even if that means traveling to a remote cliffside estate on the North Devon coast and marrying a complete stranger. But Greyfriar's Abbey isn't the sort of refuge she imagined. And ex-army captain Justin Thornhill - though he may be tall, dark, and devastatingly handsome - is anything but a romantic hero. He needed redemption... Justin has spent the last two decades making his fortune, settling scores, and suffering a prolonged period of torture in an Indian prison.

Story
Evelyn Maltravers understands exactly how little she's worth on the marriage mart. As an incurable bluestocking from a family tumbling swiftly toward ruin, she knows she'll never make a match in a ballroom. Her only hope is to distinguish herself by making the biggest splash in the one sphere she excels: on horseback. In haute couture. But to truly capture London's attention she'll need a habit-maker who's not afraid to take risks with his designs - and with his heart.

Raised by a tyrannical father, Marion de Lacy yearns for the comfort of belonging to a loving family. So when her father announces her betrothal to an evil knight in exchange for his help to overthrow the king, she concocts a desperate scheme to avoid the marriage: feigning her own death and then fleeing England. But when her plan goes terribly awry and she's captured by the knight, not even her careful preparations could ready her for the Scottish barbarian who rescues her and then informs her that he's to marry her.

Story
Just before Christmas in 1843, a debt-ridden and dispirited Charles Dickens wrote a small book he hoped would keep his creditors at bay. His publisher turned it down, so Dickens used what little money he had to put out A Christmas Carol himself. He worried it might be the end of his career as a novelist. The book immediately caused a sensation. And it breathed new life into a holiday that had fallen into disfavor, undermined by lingering Puritanism and the cold modernity of the Industrial Revolution.

Story
Guests are arriving to celebrate Christmas at Lady Holly's ball, and at the top of each guest's wish list is a last chance to find true love before the new year. Amid the sumptuous delicacies, glittering decorations, and swell of the orchestra, every duchess and debutante, lord and lackey has a hopeful heart.
Written by: Mary Jo Putney
Publisher's Summary
"A graceful love story...and an authentic presentation of the 1860s that reads with the simplicity and visual gusto of a period movie." (Readers' Favorite)
A courtship of convenience.
Sophie Appersett is quite willing to marry outside of her class to ensure the survival of her family. But the darkly handsome Mr. Edward Sharpe is no run-of-the-mill London merchant. He's grim and silent. A man of little emotion - or perhaps no emotion at all. After two months of courtship, she's ready to put an end to things.
A last chance for love.
But severing ties with her taciturn suitor isn't as straightforward as Sophie envisioned. Her parents are outraged. And then there's Charles Darwin, Prince Albert, and that dratted gaslight. What's a girl to do except invite Mr. Sharpe to Appersett House for Christmas and give him one last chance to win her? Only this time, there'll be no false formality. This time, they'll get to know each other for who they really are.

Oh yes yes yes, really liked this one!
This was my first book by this author. I was a bit unsure of the choice of narrator initially and the male love interest but oh good heavens it gets good. If you’re prone to butterflies get ready and I think I held my breath for the last half, had to sit down. A short but oh so good little Christmas romance. Think I might just listen to it again right now! Definitely going to check out more by Mimi.

A well imagined, well performed story!
It kept me smiling all throughout! The writing is unaffected and engaging. The story is heartwarming and altogether pleasing. I listened to it all afternoon folding and sorting laundry, my least favour chore, and I hardly noticed at all because of hoe much I was enjoying the story. Thanks Mimi and Alex for a snowy November afternoon enjoyably spent.

Light Fun Read for Christmas
I wanted a story that was light and refreshing. I also wanted something that involved Christmas. I found it in this book.
The status of the different groups of people in this book was interesting.
If you want a fun, light read for this time of year, you would probably enjoy this book.

Great holiday Romance
If you're in the mood for a toe-curling Victorian-with-a-Regency-flair holiday escape read look no further. A Holiday by Gaslight has everything I love in a historical romance. A reserved hero who isn't so much brooding as unsure of all the aristocratic social graces. An opinionated heroine who isn't afraid to speak her mind. A delightful mix-up in the communications department -- please, won't one of you just say what you're thinking? Out loud! In the presence of the other? But no, they'd rather banter back and forth with witty dialogue! I have such a weakness for time period banter and this is divine! Happy sigh. The lovely Victorian Christmas traditions add a wonderful holiday flare. Hello -- mistletoe scenes require the presence of a fainting couch! Definitely a scrumptious way to read in the season!
