Confined with Mr. Darcy

By: L. L. Diamond

Narrated by: Joanna Lightstone

William Darcy has gone completely mental! Despite Elizabeth Bennet’s less than stellar opinion of him, some unknown force possessed him to invite her to Pemberley to wait out lockdown. Just because she’d be closer to her sister Jane, who’s isolated in the gamekeeper’s cottage with her husband wasn’t a legitimate excuse either. He’d invited Elizabeth - the only woman he’d ever really fancied - Elizabeth, who’d refused him without reservation at the Rosings Book Festival. Now, he spends part of every day in Elizabeth’s company while struggling to keep his feelings hidden from not only her but also his nosy sister and motherly housekeeper. What a bloody nightmare!

When William Darcy showed up on her doorstep, the last thing Elizabeth Bennet expected was an invitation to Pemberley, yet she now lives in the poshest of rooms and can walk the extensive gardens and the forests without limits. Even Tilney, her timid Maine Coon cat, is willing to brave strangers to explore his new surroundings, but Elizabeth has no idea how to behave around Darcy. If no one can say when lockdown will end, she could be living at Pemberley indefinitely. How do you live with a man you’re attracted to, but who tries your every last nerve? How is she supposed to stay confined with Mr. Darcy?

loved the story, narrator was pretty good.

the one drawback of the proformance was the narrators voice for Darcy & Bingley. I enjoyed all the other voices the narrator gave the women but her voices for Darcy and Bingley always pulled me a little out of the story and made it a little hard to picture Darcy as I wanted to. otherwise a very enjoyable listen.

Good story

Normally don’t read modern Jaff. But it was good. The narrator did a great job too.

So happy to find this fun read

This was an enjoyable book. I listened in one sitting. Wish it was longer but definitely enjoyed it and the characters.

Cute story and a fun take on current circumstances!

I’m not typically a fan of moderns, but this short and sweet variation was really enjoyable and will serve as an apropos time capsule of this bizarre COVID-19 reality we find ourselves in.

There could have been so much more

There should have been more walks or talks between ODC. It went from zero to the end.
