A Yorkshire Carol by Jennie Goutet
5.0
Adored this audiobook version of A Yorkshire Carol! The story is a friends-to-lovers trope and the way Jennie Goutet developed this theme was particularly well done. I loved how Juliana discovers that her old childhood friend might just be the love of her life.
Juliana grew up in Yorkshire, but when she moved with her parents to London, she got caught up in all the glitz and glamor of society. When her godmother asks her to return for Christmas, she grudgingly obliges.
The last thing she expects is to fall in love with her childhood friend. However, when Willelm starts paying attention to other women she begins to realize all the things she appreciates about her friend, but is it too late?
I loved the way this story progressed. At first, we are introduced to Willelm the way Juliana remembers him, as just an average man who is slightly awkward in fashionable society. As the story unfolds, we begin to see Willelm through new eyes as his strong character and delightful personality shine through. We fall in love with him just like Juliana!
The narrator did an amazing job bringing each character to life. I especially enjoyed the various accents and male voices. She has a pleasant voice and it was easy to listen to.
With all the fun traditions of a Yorkshire Christmas, this is definitely a book that will get you in the Christmas spirit with plenty of romance as well! Highly recommend this audiobook and the entire Christmas Match series! Each story is a stand alone read, but each has a charming matchmaker connecting the stories. Thanks to the author for gifting me an advanced copy of the audiobook. All opinions are my own and I was not required to provide a positive review.
