Summary

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.

Lovely listen for any time of year

Don't be confused by the Christmas title, this story is lovely anytime of year. Sally Britton has a way with words. She is able to write a complete and full story even in a Novella. Penny's Yuletide Wish is a clean regency romance that is able to stand alone from the other books in the series but it is nice to have the background of many of the characters included in this story. Jessica Elisa Boyd is a wonderful narrator who is easy to listen to and adds amazing depth to an already good story.

A non-story

This was pretty dull. It is only three and a half hours, but that felt long because absolutely nothing happens. Childhood best friends from the same area, the same level of fortune and prospects, mutual friends and public standing, literally no impediment to their union. Yet they um and ah, yearn and despair (for absolutely no reason) until everyone - all the other characters and you the listener - tells them to just get on with it. With predictable results.

This is a novella in a series that I have not read or listened to, so perhaps I am missing the sentiment towards Robert and Penny that others who know the series might have. As a standalone Christmas story, it was boring.
