About this listen
Curl up this winter with a heart-warming Christmas romance for fans of The Crown and Downton Abbey!
'A page-turning festive read, full of will they/won't they romance, intriguing glimpses of royal life behind palace doors, and inspiring culinary treats. As delicious as a Christmas pudding topped with flaming brandy and lashings of cream' Gill Paul
************************************
December 1952
As a young Queen Elizabeth II prepares to deliver her first Christmas speech, staff work behind the scenes to get ready for the festivities at Sandringham Estate. Among them are Jack and Olive – old friends who are surprised to be reunited after seven years apart.
While Olive works for the BBC reporting on the royal family, and Jack is employed in the queen’s kitchens, their bond deepens – until a secret threatens to tear them apart. When the truth comes to light, it could change Olive and Jack's lives forever.
But maybe Christmas has one last gift to deliver…

Variety of books and subjects
Ahhh, hmm, I prefer woman narraters, probably because I enjoy romance, witches and Christmas. I also like detective and crime, so audible gives me a lot of variety

Nice story
I really enjoyed listening to Olive and the queen, but found Jack particularly dull as a character and found the narrated voice kept putting me to sleep. It was rather predictable and a little too long!
