Publisher's summary

When the woman he loves refuses him, Darcy will get help winning her back . . . whether he wants it or not.

Fitzwilliam Darcy is a great many things. Wealthy. Handsome. Respectable. But what he is not, is skilled at charming Elizabeth Bennet. When she refuses his offer of marriage and breaks his heart, an organ she doesn't believe he possesses, he has no notion of how to win her back.

Fortunately for him, his scheming relation, Miss Anne de Bourgh, is more than willing to help. It doesn't matter to Anne that Darcy doesn't want her assistance. She learned from the best, namely her mother, that people don't know what's good for them until you tell them.

Mr. Darcy's Matchmaker is a sweet, lighthearted Pride & Prejudice Variation. Listen on to discover if Miss de Bourgh can help Mr. Darcy win the woman he loves, and how much trouble she'll cause trying.

Anne de Bourgh takes the lead.

The excellent narration and performance by Ruth Urquhart is energetic and lively, infusing the character portrayals with personality.

From childhood, Anne and Darcy are destined by their parents to marry, but even at a very young age when she was still chasing frogs, Anne is determined she will never marry her cousin. We are given a multi-year look into the early lives of these two, and then we’re at Hunsford with Darcy facing his rejection by Elizabeth.

Anne wants Darcy to be happy—with Elizabeth. So, she hatches a plan that touches on a little reverse psychology to have Elizabeth help her (Anne) and Darcy find a match. She must convince her mother, Lady Catherine, to allow Elizabeth to accompany them to London for the Season.

Darcy is a quite stiff in this variation. I can’t say it’s my favourite portrayal, but it all works out in the end, of course. My favourite part of this novel was Colonel Fitzwilliam and Kitty. Lady Catherine and Mrs. Bennet are quite extreme in this book, making things very difficult for the others around them.

Wickham must also have his way—until he doesn’t.

Happy to recommend this audiobook.

P & P variation to lull u asleep

I haven’t decided if the story was just boring or if the narrator just wanted to put me to sleep. The romantic addition of Anne to the mix was a nice gesture along with Miss Kitty and Richard, but I would chose a different book had I known this one’s many failings in my opinion.
