“You have no country seat, Perry, am I right?” Grace gazed from the window as the hedgerows, dappled with snow, flashed past.
“True. There was once a Hawkesbury Manor, but I think my ancestor lost it in a game of cards to one of Henry the Eighth’s cronies.”
“Clumsy of him.”
“He probably cheated.”
A conversation between a Lady and a Gentleman in a carriage, England, Christmas 1816

Sometimes, it takes a nudge from Fate to unite a couple and awake the realization that they’re perfectly suited to each other.
In the case of the self-conscious Grace Chaney and the intellectual Sir Peregrine Hawkesbury, the nudge Fate produces is an ice storm, trapping them in a house that doesn’t belong to either of them, and with a family they’ve never met.
Lively children, horrid weather and unusual circumstances aside, Perry and Grace manage to capture some Christmas spirit of their own, with the help of a piano and Grace’s musical brilliance. But whether it will last or not—well that’s a decision they’ll make on Christmas Eve – if they can find each other, that is.
Was Shakespeare correct? Is music truly the food of love? Find out when Perry and Grace play on!

Good Christmas Novella

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2020

This is a good Regency romance novella, with a likable couple. It is not really a part of the Ridlington Romance series, but is related. It can be read standalone, but you will enjoy it more if you have read the Ridlington Series first. I would recommend you read at least "The Mistress Wager" before reading this novella. This one gets 4 stars from me.

For those who care, this book does contain sex outside of marriage, It is not all that explicit, but it might still bother anyone who prefers clean romances.

I really liked both Grace and Perry in this story. Grace is so damaged by her past trauma and her scars, and I really liked how Perry loved her enough to help her find her true self again. I also liked that they were an older couple, and I thought their search for each other at the end was fun.

My rating system is below.
1 star -- Hated it, or did not finish. I usually only give this rating if some of the content is truly objectionable to me, like if one of the main characters does something really awful, and gets away with it.
2 stars -- Didn't like it. This rating usually means that I thought the writing wasn't very good, the editing was terrible, I didn't like the characters, or it had other major flaws.
3 stars -- I liked it, but had some minor issues with it. This rating means that there were minor editing issues, the story needed more character development, it was just too unrealistic, or had some other fairly minor issue. The majority of books I read get this rating – I do not consider it a bad rating.
4 stars -- I liked it a lot. This is a high rating for me, and I rarely give a higher one.
5 stars -- I loved it, and will probably read it again. Very few books are good enough to get this rating from me. The ones that do are usually classics.

Yay, another Ridlington story!

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2019

I was sad when I finished reading about the Six Pearls, as I had so enjoyed reading their stories. What a joy to find that Sahara Kelly had written a Chritmas novella about characters I had met in the series. This "later in life" story show Perry and Grace visiting a house that Perry is considering purchasing. Unfortunately lately, the weather turns bad (as it can do near Christmas) and the two soon realize it will be unsafe to travel home. Shortly after, the ice causes a family to also be stranded on their way home and are taken in. Secrets are revealed after a brautiful, perfectly maintained piano is discovered: Why Grace has remained alone following her husband's death, and that Perry has always been interested in her (his best friend's sister).

Heartwarming Christmas romance

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2018

Love the spirit of Christmas, Grace & Perry catch a sexy dose of it. Two mature adults, I don't think either consider themselves as lonely, well not all the time at least, at their age and stage, they have become content. Perry is a very determined man and he has his work cut out for him, yet can ignite Grace in ways her self-imposed spinsterhood has forgotten. ;) Grace is stubborn and independent, I think their adventure is enlightening, sweet and that their attraction reminds them that they deserve to bask in the wonders of being loved again. Love this family circle and enjoyed this very exciting, heartwarming and humorous addition to this series.

I received a free copy via Candid Book Reviews and am voluntarily reviewing.

Finally...Grace Finds Her Happily Ever After!

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2018

Music and Mistletoe: A Ridlington Christmas Novella is the story of Grace and Perry. I was so excited to read this novella and to have the chance to revisit the Ridlington family that I have come to love. I was especially happy to have a glimpse into Grace’s happily-ever-after which she very much deserved!

I was impressed that Sahara Kelly tackled the topic of addiction and how it destroys individuals and families. The fact that Grace could live through that type of trauma and find love again was inspiring. I like the way that Grace and Perry (as older adults) embraced their attraction and didn’t hide their feelings. No games and no drama which was refreshing.

I absolutely loved that the rest of the Ridlington families came into the ending of the story. I was wonderful to see how their lives have moved forward.

Fantastic!

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2019

Music and Mistletoe was a wonderful and sweet book. I love following the Ridlington family in their quest to find love. This book, though a novella, definitely had the story line thrills and adventure of a much longer book. I highly recommend this book and the rest in this series as well.

Grace and Perry have been friends for quite some time and though Grace was attracted to Perry, she knew it would never go past that. She had accepted living a solitary life due to the burns she was afflicted with at a much younger age. Little did she know Perry felt the same for her and he was determined to prove it. Will she ever be able to accept his love?

A Wonderful Christmas Story

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2019

Grace has scars on her face that she received while married to her first husband. Preferring to be alone and avoiding social events she considers herself ugly.
Sir Peregrine Hawksbury is friends with Max, Graces brother. He wants to purchase a house and asks Grace to accompany him and give him advice on the house. Also, Perry sees beyond the scars on her face and finds her to be all he wants in a woman.
I really enjoyed this story. Sahara has a talent for writing wonderful stories with great characters. I especially liked how Grace was able to forget her scars and open up. This book was well written and had me smiling. I hated to see it end.

Holiday cheer

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2019

If you are looking for of light-hearted Romance of holiday cheer you can't go wrong with Music and Mistletoe. You have Grace an older woman who was widowed and wounded by her late husband. She is allowed what has happened to her to be the cause for her retirement from society. You have Perry also a widower and a gentleman content in his ways. These two have known each other for years but never has the other really thought about a romantic entanglement. A casual encounter leads them on a holiday awakening and nothing will be the same again. Pick up this book it will have you smiling, laughing and cheering for the characters in the story.
