This was a charming novella filled with lush historical scenery. The lead romance was mild without any major angst or fighting, which I appreciate in a holiday read. The secondary characters were well drawn. It is clear that Mimi Matthews has a passion for research and a talent for bringing her setting to life.
I would have rated this five stars but for two personal preferences. (Warning! Minor Spoilers!) First, Sophie's character was rather money driven which I did not like given the Christmas setting. Second, her emotionally abusive never got the comeuppance I felt he deserved.
Overall, I would highly recommend this sweet, little read and I will be looking for more works from the author.
