Mistletoe for Felicity

By: Sally Britton

Narrated by: Maria Johnson

Will two lonely hearts find unexpected love amidst an arranged marriage? Perhaps, with a little Christmas magic, anything is possible…

Felicity Wren, a woman without family, is bound by societal expectations and a lonely past. Theodore “Tad” Hartford, the son of a successful merchant, is an outsider to the world of nobility. Their arranged marriage, a means to secure Felicity’s future and Tad’s ascension in Society, begins as a duty but quickly becomes something more.

As December unfolds, Tad and Felicity explore the boundaries of their relationship, moving from uncertainty to trust. From building snowmen with village children to hosting a Christmas ball. They journey together through the joys and complexities of newlyweds, discovering the magic of Christmas.

But can two such different people come to truly care for one another? Felicity’s strength, grace, and heartfelt laughter captivate Tad, while his kindness, determination, and love for the simple things enchant Felicity. Yet, doubts linger. Does she love him, or is she merely playing the role of a dutiful wife? Can he truly belong to the world she was born into?

A gentle Christmas romance brings their story to a beautiful conclusion, where love triumphs over doubt, and joy is found in the most unexpected places. Unwrap this sweet, closed-door Regency romance and discover a cozy Christmas tale that will warm your heart.

If you like Hallmark movies…..

I love a marriage of convenience story and this one had everything needed to be exceptionally sweet and endearing. Felicity’s gentle nature and open heart made me root for the couple from the opening scene. However, while Tad is an honorable man with a heart of gold, his paralyzing insecurities (understandable in the beginning) became very tedious very quickly. His dithering forced Felicity to make every step toward progressing their relationship and that was unfair. A little balance would have given more satisfaction in the story but overall it’s a delightful Christmas read.

Narration cloyingly too sweet

I didn’t care for the narrator’s tone. It made a clean sweet story just too too too sweet to be acceptable to me.

A Wonderful, Touching Journey

I was so engaged with the wonderful touching journey of Felicity and Tad as their tinuous, practical arrangement gradually developed both between them and in their own personal growth!
I found myself rooting for both characters and so engaged in the descriptions of their actions and emotions that I re-listened to chapters over and over again.
5here are more stories that could be told from side characters and future characters, such as their children nd also Lord William.
I really want sequels to this book!!!
