Excellent story and narration

I really enjoyed the story in this book as well as the narration. Collins really brought the characters to life with his pacing, voices, and characterization. The authors, as usual, wrote a great story.

Sweet Christmas novella

It was a bit reminiscent of a Christmas Carol but Simon was merely sad and lonely instead of miserly and cantankerous. Cornell Collins did a very nice job performing the story.

Very enjoyable holiday romance.

I really enjoyed this short and sweet romance story. Nice retelling of 'A Christmas Carol'. As always Cornell Collins ' performance was superb! Seriously Mr. Collins could make listening to a reading of the world's most boring textbooks engaging. Well done!

Touching, thoughtful and lovely

Finding your own special person can be hard, be you rich or poor. Taking a chance and holding on to them despite the expectations of society and your own upbringing is an impressive act of courage beautifully described in this short story. Thank you to Cornell Collins for bringing the hesitant Simon and the vibrant Chistopher to such believable life!

Cute Christmas Carol

Fun story. Nice twist on old Dickens. narration of many different accents very well done

SIMON GIVES CHRISTMAS TO CHRISTOPHER’S FAMILY

Simon is an aristocrat in the 1840s. Christopher is an actor who is trying to make money to buy the family’s children Christmas presents. They are both gay and find a way to reveal a card cheat and have a tryst in Simon’s club, which Christopher has crashed. This is a cute M/M version of Dickens’s A Christmas Carol. A lovely story of how life for the gay community was in the 19th century.

The narration is in a proper English tone and makes one think they are in Merry Old England as the story unfolds.

lovely

thoroughly enjoyable bit of holiday happiness.
always enjoy this writing team. another winner.
puts me in the Christmas spirit.

Loved it

It’s a well written, low angst historical romance. I found it on the membership list of audible and would love to read the rest of the authors works.

Sweet and sexy

Cornell Collins is a pleasure to hear any day of the week, his performance is always on point, and hits every emotional note with accuracy. The story is certainly delightful, Simon is sweet and melancholy with his earnest wish to be loved, and his broken heart is even more saddened by being alone at Christmas. But fate smiles at him when the dashing Christopher appears at his club under the guise of a rich man playing at cards. Both men end up in a place they never expected and with feelings they weren't looking for. It is a sweet romance, with a lot of heat for a novella, and full of happy Christmas feelings.

Awesome

Great book, kept my attention all the way to the end, amazing audio delivery, loved it. Will be reading again, every chapter was received amazingly do recommend you give it a read.
