About this listen

Elizabeth Bennet is devastated by her sister’s elopement. Mr. Darcy’s ardent love for her leaves him no choice but to act.

Mr. Darcy has finally accepted that he wishes only for Elizabeth, and when they meet at Pemberley, he speaks plainly of his devotion. Despite their uncertain future, he is determined to assist the Bennet family – surely no young lady, however foolish, deserves to be Mrs. Wickham. And Darcy has a plan.

Jane falls prey to bewilderment and anger as Bingley returns to Hertfordshire. He hopes to renew their courtship, but Jane’s world was shaken by his departure and the cruelty of his sisters, and her views of those around her have changed considerably.

In the months since Elizabeth rejected his proposal, she has realized she cares greatly for Mr. Darcy. As they travel along the Great North Road to Gretna Green, they are able to enjoy one another’s companionship and conversation. But not everyone is pleased by Darcy’s involvement.

This is a sweet and clean, low angst Pride and Prejudice variation where all of the Bennet sisters have happy endings.

I read the summary and was underwhelmed until I started listening-very intriguing plot lines, characters had proper motivations. Laraba Kendig is one of my favorite authors for PP variations

much better than I anticipated

Cute story with low angst. Not as well written as some but I enjoyed the performance of the audiobook.

This was such an enjoyable listen with low angst and one of my favorite narrators. Squeaky clean with a wonderfully thorough epilogue describing each character’s life after the story concluded.

Perfection

Love how well done the story line is. Overall the various stories r great. Also love how God’s Word is threaded thru the entire story. Appreciate the logical progression used to enhance Austin’s original story.

Surprised by brilliance.

No plot holes that I can think of, which is a great boon! The narrator does such a fantastic voice that I sometimes forget it's a male narrator; he does female voices so well! The story was quite good and while it is relatively low angst, there were still points where you laugh out loud due or yell out, "oh snap!" due to someone's audacity. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it.

Great story and narrator

When you combine Laraba Kendig and Harry Frost it’s an automatic choice for me! This Darcy is truly in love with Elizabeth and will do whatever is necessary to make sure that they can be together. The growth in Lydia is encouraging and it makes one think that if a few things that if changed in canon what a different story it would have been but that’s what we all get to enjoy as so many talented writers bring us new perspectives to our favorite Pride and Prejudice classic. Many times when you see anything suggesting Gretna Green it’s a mad dash but this one is much slower with much character growth during that time. This will easily be a regular re-read / listen.

Automatic purchase!

Narrator Harry Frost has a real talent for adding sweet emotion to Laraba Kendig’s endearing prose in this novel. It’s a joy to listen to his work. It’s interesting how the original story is changed by altering Darcy’s reaction to Wickham when he locates the eloping couple. I liked the changes to Lydia’s outlook and loved Darcy’s devotion to Elizabeth, however, I personally prefer an unredeemed Caroline B.

I love that all were forgiven except the unrepentant!
I love all your stories, Laraba.
I love Harry Frost!!

Ahhh redemption!

I enjoyed this story very much. It starts with Lydia’s elopement. Mr Darcy does not want Wickham as a brother and has another approach. Great indeed. And to listen to Harry Frost’s narrative is great. Great Jaff.

Great story

I love stories that deviate far from the original. Why would I want to read the same story over and over again? The more far out the better. I think Jane A. would love it. I like when characters are redeemed to a point. So much more fun. On a journey to Gretna Green Lydia has to make a choice and she’s the ticket to save the family. Darcy is wonderful and solid. Elizabeth is not obnoxious as so many authors make her in the “vagaries”. Worth a credit. I admit I search for Harry Frost narratives and was delighted to see him paired with a favorite author, immediate buy.
