About this listen

Mr Darcy's Second Chance is a compilation of three previously published Pride and Prejudice Variations.

A More Agreeable Man by Jan Ashton
When Jane Bennet returns from a holiday at Ramsgate engaged to a handsome young man, Elizabeth is astonished to find herself the only person at Longbourn questioning their attachment. Darcy arrives in Hertfordshire he discovers that George Wickham has impugned his character and is now betrothed to a lady whose enchanting younger sister has both decided opinions and strikingly beautiful eyes. Elizabeth and Darcy's doubts over the misalliance lead them to set aside their mutual distrust and determine the truth about Wickham’s true intentions, but the more they discover, the deeper they find their own hearts entangled.

A Golden Opportunity by J Marie Croft
Darcy longs to escape Rosings Park following his failed proposal of marriage to Elizabeth Bennet. Alas both must remain for an additional ten days for a private ball in celebration of the birthday of Anne de Bourgh.

As the days progress, Darcy finds himself increasingly alarmed by the strange happenings in Kent. Anne has thrown off the meekness of her earlier years and has been visiting the master gardener’s cottage, claiming she merely seeks his advice about her herbarium. Darcy’s days are further complicated when he realizes that he may have a rival for Elizabeth’s affection

There seems to be a potential scandal or heartache everywhere Darcy turns, but somewhere in midst of it all springs some hope.

Mrs Bennet Makes a Match by Lucy Marin
When Darcy returns to Hertfordshire he is disappointed to be greeted by coolness, but he believes he understands her prejudice.

Elizabeth Bennet knows that any chance she had of finding happiness in marriage with Mr Darcy has been destroyed by Lydia's elopement. Nothing suggests that he has any desire to rekindle the warmth between them that she felt at Pemberley.

Three good stories

This audiobook includes three different authors and stories. They were all good. Not very long stories since all three adds up to less than 8 hours. Great Jaff.

Good value listen!

This post is for the audiobook version of this book. I do wish audiobooks were included in the editions listed on Goodreads—it would make things so much easier! If you’re interested, you can find my reviews for the individual books included in this trilogy when they were first released. I really enjoy the concept of trilogy collections, especially in audiobook format, which offers great value for audiobook lovers.

The narrator, Liam Anderson, is new to me, but I think he shows great potential. I love the sound of his voice—resonant, crisp, and commanding when the moment calls for it. However, there were a couple of things I found a little off. First, his pronunciation of the de Bourgh name felt jarring. He pronounced it like “de Boor,” which didn’t sit well with me, especially as ‘Miss de Bourgh’ features prominently in one of the stories. I feel this is something the publisher or author should have caught during proofing. Secondly, I noticed he occasionally forgot to adjust his tone when switching between characters. His Mr. Darcy sometimes sounded too much like his Elizabeth, which was a bit distracting.

That said, I thoroughly enjoyed the stories. Jan Ashton, J. Marie Croft, and Lucy Marin are incredibly talented, and I always look forward to treating myself to their work.

I definitely recommend both the books and the trilogy, whether you prefer reading or listening!
