Publisher Description
The Gentleman and the Lamplighter is a historical romance NOVELLA about two men from different worlds who find acceptance - and red-hot passion - in each other's arms. From Summer Devon, who writes "gay Victorian romance with emotional tension" (Publishers Weekly).
You can't walk away from love.
Destroyed by the death of his former schoolmate yet unable to show it publicly, Giles Fullerton has taken to walking the streets of London in the middle of the night, the only time he can safely mourn the only person he's ever loved - until one chance meeting with a lamplighter changes everything....
But you can walk toward it...
Widower John Banks knows a thing or two about grief, and immediately recognizes a kindred spirit when he finally meets the handsome, haunted gentleman he's admired from afar. And in fact, the two men discover shared passions and the possibility of a forever love - if they can overcome social taboos, and their own fears....
Customer Reviews
Great story, fantastic narration!
The Gentleman and the Lamplighter is a wonderful short story about two young men from very different classes finding each other. Both of them have lost someone close to them. The blurb is fantastic so give it a read. This is the first book I've read by Summer Devon but I have several others in both my ebook and audiobook libraries. I need to move them up higher on my TBR list. 😊
I could feel the emotions in the writing and in the fantastic narration by Mark James. After listening to this I tried very hard to find other audiobooks performed by him and was unable to find any. If this is indeed his first audiobook, what a fantastic way to begin.
I can be pretty critical of narrators. I've listened to a number of them, both male and female, where the phrasing and vocal inflections for the text being read were off, and therefore distracting to me as a listener. There was none of that in this book. I could see myself listening to this one again when I need something short and soothing to listen to.
Listening to The Gentleman and the Lamplighter was absolutely a great way to spend a couple of hours.
A review copy of this audiobook was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.
