About this listen
"You must allow me to tell you..."
For over 200 years, Jane Austen's Mr. Darcy has captivated readers' imaginations as the ultimate catch. Rich. Powerful. Noble. Handsome. And yet, as Miss Austen's Pride and Prejudice is established through Elizabeth Bennet's fine eyes, how are we to know his mind? How does Darcy progress from "she is tolerable: but not handsome enough to tempt me" to "I thought only of you"?
In this romance anthology, 15 Austenesque authors assemble to sketch Darcy's character through a series of reimaginings, set in the Regency through contemporary times - from faithful narratives to the fanciful. In The Darcy Monologues, the man himself reveals his intimate thoughts, his passionate dreams, and his journey to love - all told with a previously concealed wit and enduring charm.
Stories by Susan Adriani, Sara Angelini, J. Marie Croft, Karen M. Cox, Jan Hahn, Jenetta James, Lory Lilian, KaraLynne Mackrory, Beau North, Ruth Phillips Oakland, Natalie Richards, Sophia Rose, Joana Starnes, Melanie Stanford, Caitlin Williams

Fitzwilliam Darcy has had enough—enough of the ton and their speculations, enough of matchmaking mamas and their eager daughters, and enough of his family’s expectations that he will eventually marry his cousin Anne. Craving solitude and peace after discovering his sister with George Wickham in Ramsgate, he accepts an invitation to visit Netherfield Park from his friend Charles Bingley and travels to Hertfordshire, where he hopes Georgiana will recover from her disappointment in relative privacy.

Yet they do meet, and to her astonishment, he holds no resentment towards her. Regrettably, someone else does. Unbeknownst to Elizabeth, her reintroduction to the master of Pemberley is far from universally welcomed. There are others for whom prejudice is stirred up by the familiarity between Miss Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy.

Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy is drawn to Elizabeth Bennet from the day they met, captivated by her cleverness, her charm, and her good humour. While he initially sees only a friendship between them, his feelings for her soon grow more ardent, even while he tries to persuade himself she would be an unsuitable bride. At length, however, his pride and his prejudices must be laid aside; he knows that to be happy in marriage is more important.

As humiliating as an ill-bred set down was from an impertinent country miss, the veracity of Elizabeth Bennet’s arguments and the humiliation at his own lack of understanding started to sink in. After years of entrenched isolation, others would take notice if he appeared more civil. How was he to take his place in society without raising expectations? He reaches out to the one person he can trust, Colonel Fitzwilliam, who joins the party at Netherfield.

Austen wrote, 'I am going to take a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like' and thus introduces the handsome, clever, rich - and flawed, Emma Woodhouse. Emma is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage; nothing however delights her more than matchmaking her fellow residents of Highbury. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.

Critic reviews
"Since he's fictional, this is the closest I can get to have him whispering in my ear sweet nothings and thoughts I imagined Mr. Darcy would say." —Of Pens and Pages
"Think of The Darcy Monologues as your JAFF gateway drug. Don't worry, experts agree; it lowers anxiety, increases imagination, and is very good for health." —Period Drama Madness
"...there really is something here to suit all tastes, and to delight any diehard Darcy fan." —Joceline Bury, Jane Austen Regency World Magazine
"Frost captures Darcy's tone perfectly, bringing a heart and soul to the character that readers get only a glimpse of in the original novel. The remaining half of the audiobook contains stories from other eras, reimagining Darcy as a baseball player, a school principal, and an Old West traveler, to name but a few. Frost portrays everything from New York sophisticate to grizzled cowboy, never falling into caricature. A delightful listening experience." —AudioFile Magazine

If you like Darcy this is for you!
Lots of good and creative alternatives to the original story. My fave was the one where you hear Darcy editing his famous letter to Elizabeth- funny plus sweet too.

Recapturing the essence of a classic love story
First, let me say the narration is perfect. When listening to Jane Austen retellings, who would want to listen to anyone other than a British storyteller who sounds like Mr. Darcy (think Colin Firth). Each story is different with its own take on the timeless literary classic.

Excellent!
First of all, I loved the book when I read it, but Harry Frost has an amazing voice. I like several female narrators in the JAFF space, but I must say, I am listening to this every night before bed and Harry's voice has become Darcy. It is perfectly delightful and I am loving every single minute of it. I hope he narrates Rakes and Rogues as well.
The Darcy Monologues as a book is just great. I love seeing how so many authors view different facets of his character and bring him to life in new and interesting ways. No matter how many I read, I always want more and this book truly delivers.

What a GREAT book!
I will not summarize all of the stories because there are too many, but will say if you like Pride and Prejudice and have ever wondered what really made Mr. Darcy "tick", THIS is the book for you! This group of authors captured Darcy's character, thought process, passions, and values perfectly. It is one of the best collections of short stories I have read.
Harry Frost's narration and take on both Darcy and the other characters made this book so enjoyable! I will listen to more of Mr. Frost's narrations!
This book was given to me and I voluntarily am leaving this honest review.

The perfect Mr Darcy performance!
Amidst an extraordinary field of talented voice actors, Harry Frost is Incomparable! His rich voice and excellent pacing made for the perfect Mr Darcy! However, in a huge multi-era project like “The Darcy Monologues”, Frost really shines, showing his range and imagination, by immersing himself in a cast of many (from Regency England to modern day United States) in this fifteen-story anthology. He is an enthusiastic narrator, bringing a nuanced, honest performance to each character. Loved listening to these great stories performed by such talent!

Darcy’s POV
What a delightful listen thanks to the wonderful narrator! I was surprised that I liked the modern variations,the Beauty and the Beast version in addition to the traditional versions. I really think there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Great sampling of P&P authors whose books I will look for. Many of the stories left me wanting for a longer version because they were very engaging. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great stories, wonderful narrator
I loved the book, and I was curious about the audiobook. All the stories are very well written with excellent plots. A box of little gems, something beautiful for different tastes. I'm a fan of Regency stories, but different era and modern ones were great as well.
The narrator was wonderful. his voice suited Mr. Darcy very well, and his portrayal of other characters was very good as well. Great listening experience.
Highly recommended for any JAFF reader and audiobook lover.

All the heart eyes for this fun collection of stories about beloved Mr. Darcy. I loved the ones set back in the original era the most, but the modern day ones were still fun. The narrator was fantastic!

STORY OVERVIEW AND REVIEW:
The Darcy Monologues is a collection of short stories told by a group of amazing JAFF authors, all starring our beloved Mr. Darcy. There was a fantastic selection of stories, the book divided into two eras—Regency and Other. I've mentioned this in my more in-depth review of the book, "each author perfectly highlighted the Mr. Darcy every romance fan grew to love—a gentleman, a dedicated brother, a good friend and a devoted lover. A good and honest man."
I enjoyed reading this book but enjoyed it even more when I finally listened to it.
WHAT DID YOU LIKE ABOUT THE AUDIOBOOK?
Reading The Darcy Monologues was heartwarming, but listening to it was a whole new experience. It felt more intimate, more tangible, if that makes sense. Like a real person was telling me a real story of his life. Harry Frost was a fantastic Darcy, and he was equally fantastic in portraying different characters, particularly Mr. Collins. The change in accents from Regency era to other era stories set in the USA was surprising but not unwanted. I don't know which I prefer, to be honest. And I don't know if it was just me, but his American accent sounded a lot like Henry Cavill's. I can only tell you I giggled so much when I heard it.
While Harry Frost did a wonderful job narrating all of the novellas in this anthology, the novella I enjoyed listening to the most was From the Ashes by J. Marie Croft. It was so amusing to hear a slightly intoxicated Mr. Darcy write a draft of his letter to Elizabeth the night after the Hunsford proposal. A close second was You Don't Know Me by Beau North because like I've mentioned about, the accent reminded me of Mr. Cavill's American accent. Hehe. Obviously, I'm a fan.
WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THIS AUDIOBOOK TO A FRIEND? IF SO, WHY?
I think lovers of Mr. Darcy will enjoy this audiobook as much as I did. Since he's fictional, this is the closest I can get to have him whispering in my ear sweet nothings and thoughts I imagined Mr. Darcy would say. It's a treat.
