Christmas at Darcy House

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

By: Victoria Kincaid

Narrated by: Julia Eve

A Pride and Prejudice variation.

Mr. Darcy hopes Christmastime will help him to forget the pair of fine eyes he left behind in Hertfordshire. When Elizabeth Bennet appears unexpectedly in London, Darcy decides to keep his distance, resolved to withstand his attraction to her. But when he learns Wickham is threatening to propose to Elizabeth, Darcy faces a crisis.

For her part, Elizabeth does not understand why the unpleasant master of Pemberley insists on dancing with her at the Christmas ball or how his eyes happen to seek her out so often. She enjoys Mr. Wickham’s company and is flattered when he makes her an offer of marriage. On the other hand, Mr. Darcy’s proposal is unexpected and unwelcome.

But the more Elizabeth learns of Mr. Darcy, the more confused she becomes - as she prepares to make the most momentous decision of her life.

It’s a yuletide season of love and passion as your favorite characters enjoy Christmas at Darcy House!

Great story, but the narrator’s Darcy...

Great story, but the narrator’s Darcy, well he sounds about as disinterested and bored as you can get in several spots where he should have a bit more character. I’d give her 3-½ stars. The story was super fun, I loved Caroline’s ending!

Loved it

Elizabeth and Darcy! Love this take on Elizabeth and Darcy. While he fumbles it good the first time they do get there HEA

Bad reader ruins story

A good story ruined by the worst reader I’ve heard. Darcy is so pretentious, Elizabeth would never have been interested

Clean steamy P&P variation

Story: 2 stars

It’s an Ok plot. A bit far fetched in places but also fun, if you are in the right mood.

It relies a bit too heavily on physical attraction, which is a shame. (One reviewer said it was PG-13 and I agree with that rating) I have always felt that, although they are both passionate people, Elizabeth and Darcy have self-control and are extremely conscious of social mores. But I suppose that’s what a P&P variation does; reinvents the characters to a certain degree.

And, as seems to be the case with most P&P variations, Elizabeth’s wit is absent. (Sigh…)

Narration: 5 stars

Julia Eve does an excellent job with the material she’s been given. Her accent, various voices and expression are spot on! She’s a go-to voice narrator for me!

Great story.

This book has the perfect mix of all the elements we love in an exceptional romance. The characters are very well constructed and the have depth and chemistry. This is a page turner that will have you cheering for the growing relationship between Elizabeth & William. Julia Eve does a fantastic job narrating. She is my favorite historical narrator.
