Story4.5 out of 5 stars 644
Michael McCann has a gentle way with women, and Timona Calverson is no exception, despite her ragged clothes. Though Timona may be no more than a mysterious woman, Michael is determined to keep her from harm, if only for one night. Timona can't bring herself to tell him who she really is - or that her rich family will pay handsomely for her return. She knows very little about Michael McCann, except that he is good enough to give his last cup of tea to a stranger, and compassionate enough to own the ugliest dog on earth.

Excellent story and narration!

I really enjoyed all the characters (even those I loved to hate). The narrator, truly made the book for me. Each character had their own voice., and the accents were fantastic. Very well done!

An original, funny and poignant story about those things in life that you just can’t plan for…‘A very modern fairy-tale, full of Claudia’s trademark wit and humour.’ Sheila O’Flanagan. Eloise Elliot is one of the youngest newspaper editors in the country. Respected and revered by her peers, she’s at the top of her game.

The repetition in this book made me a little crazy. I think the storyline held promise, but the way the main character whined or praised things (over and over and over and over...) got on my nerves!

Marion Chesney’s beloved Daughters of Mannerling series showcases the proud and lovely daughters of Sir William and Lady Beverley--six exceedingly beautiful and privileged young ladies. Isabella’s first season in London is a disaster, with not a single offer of marriage. All possible suitors find her dull, while she believes none of the contenders for her affections are worth catching. Making matters worse, her father gambles away the family fortune and their opulent estate at Mannerling to the roguish Mr. Judd.

Pure and Sweet

I really enjoyed this book. Even the "villans" in the story were not so bad that you had to "fear" them, and the romance was steady and sweet. I am a big literary "chicken," so this book was safe and enjoyable!

Would you consider the audio edition of Mr Darcy's Dream to be better than the print version?
I have read several
What did you like best about this story?
The purity of the romance and the likeness of the characters to those that we loved in P&P.
What does Phyllida Nash bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She is a perfect narrator...I love her presentation of G. Heyer's books and found these stories following her works as narrator.

A best-selling novelist since 1921, Georgette Heyer is known across the world for her historical romances set in Regency England. This is the ultimate, definitive guide to Georgette Heyer's novels, her heroines, her villains and dashing heroes, the shops, clubs and towns they frequented, the parties and seasons they celebrated, how they ate, drank and dressed, socialised, shopped and drove. An utterly delightful and fun read, compelling in its historical detail, this is a must-hear for any Georgette Heyer fan.

I'm sure that as a "teaching tool," this book deserves 5 stars. It is truly not entertaining though. I love Georgette Heyer's novels and I hoped that this was a story...perhaps I didn't read the description well enough. It is a very detailed lesson about the culture, fashion, customs, etc. of the Regency period.
If you are looking to verify the accuracy of Heyer's stories...this should do it ; )
