When Penny and Robert meet again on Christmas Eve, will their childhood love bloom into something more? They only have the 12 Days of Christmas to find out.

Robert Ellsworth, born the son of a wealthy gentleman, is now a mere steward in the service of another. While his position brings him satisfaction, it does not make him much of a matrimonial catch. It hardly matters, as Robert’s heart has long belonged to his childhood friend. When a chance meeting brings them face to face on Christmas Eve, he cannot bring himself to hope that she feels the same.

When she lost her parents years before, Penelope Clark also lost contact with her dearest friend. Visiting the community where she grew up, Penny is taken aback by how handsome Robert has grown, and how little her girlhood infatuation has diminished. But when a Christmas Ball leads to a mistletoe kiss him, she finds herself as much in love as ever before. Unfortunately for her, Robert confesses his heart already belongs to a mysterious woman.

Through the 12 Days of Christmas, Penny and Robert each make a wish for the other’s happiness. Will they realize only confessing their hearts will grant those wishes before their time together is spent?

Penny’s Yuletide Wish is a sweet Regency romance novella, and continuation of the Branches of Love series by Sally Britton. It can be heard as a stand-alone romance.

Cute Christmas story in this series!

I’ve been reading and listening to the books in this series and after listening to Lord Devon’s story with his steward, Robert, having little moments in the book, I was delighted that he would have his own story. I kept wondering who the love interest would be for him and I loved that it was his childhood friend and the girl that he always loved but he was separated from due to some life circumstances.

This was a sweet story with misunderstandings and Robert trying to let Penny go from his heart because he felt like he wasn’t good enough for her. And yet he couldn’t remove her from his heart because he truly loved her. He was funny in his anticipation in wanting to see her but then his hesitancy when they were in close proximity. Silly Robert, she has a heart and feelings too. Just ask her. It takes a little bit of time with friends and family stepping in and doing some matchmaking and nudging these two along. But Robert finally comes to realize a few things. I loved his family and friends and their antics. They had me laughing.

I had fun listening to this with the Christmas setting and seeing the different traditions that the author included for these friends, families and neighbors to share.

Content: Clean. A couple sweet kisses.

Happy Listening!!!

WIshes do come true

I absulutely loved this sweet clean histrical romance. The narrator did an amazing reading. She represented each characters voice very well. Once started I could not stop listening to this story. I loved the part in the epilog of the precious gift Robert gave to Penny as a momento. It was just such a memorable jesture.

Beautiful Story🥰

Delightful

What I enjoyed:

• Penny and Robert were childhood friends and almost sweethearts. Ten years later, they meet again during the Yuletide season. Will this couple fall in love again? Will they overcome their insecurities about being worthy of love?
• I enjoyed Penny's and Robert's personalities and I kept reading to find out more about them.
• The narrator did a great job with her character voices and brought this story to life.

At my request, I was given a free copy of this audiobook from the author. I have voluntarily left my review and my opinions were my own. I recommend this sweet Regency novella.

Sweet romance

Another sweet romance from Sally Britton. This was a lovely story to read for Christmas time. I loved both the main characters and only wanted them to finally communicate their hidden affection for each other. So the ending was a sweet moment. It is a quick read, perfect for an evening by the fire.

The narrator did a fantastic job. I loved listening to her even more than I enjoyed reading the book myself (probably because I don't read in accents). Very well done.

No sex, language or violence.
*I received a complimentary copy of this audio book and voluntarily chose to review it.
