Officious Interference

A Pride and Prejudice Variation (Happily Ever After with Mr Darcy Series)

De: Amy D'Orazio

Narrado por: Elizabeth Grace

When Mr Darcy discovers Elizabeth Bennet's true feelings, he's grateful the ill-fated proposal he had planned to make in Kent was stopped. But as the London Season drags on, he realizes the truth: he cannot be happy without her. Determined to become the man worthy of her regard, he returns to Hertfordshire with a singular purpose—to win her heart.

If only it were that simple. Darcy has indeed reformed himself, tempering his pride and learning humility, but Elizabeth's wounded feelings and lingering resentment cannot be overcome in a day. Just as she begins to see the changes in him and tentatively accept his friendship, a host of new obstacles emerge to test them both.

Meddling relations with their own agendas interfere at the worst possible moments. Well-meaning friends offer advice that only complicates matters further. Most troublesome of all is a rival suitor—charming, persistent, and determined to claim Elizabeth for himself—who seems to appear whenever Darcy and Elizabeth draw close.

Yet Darcy perseveres, and slowly, painfully, Elizabeth's heart begins to soften. Just when happiness seems within their grasp and all misunderstandings appear resolved, malicious gossip begins to circulate about Elizabeth's character and reputation. The whispers threaten not only her standing in society but Darcy's as well, forcing them both to confront an agonizing question: can their love survive such a scandal, or will propriety and duty destroy their chance at a future together forever?

Officious Interference is a low angst novel length Pride and Prejudice variation. Set in the regency era, this tale is an enemies to lovers second chance romance that includes a love triangle and a scandalous elopement. The content is closed-door.

GREAT narrator- so much emotional friction!

The end is very satisfying, but OH! the social shenanigans and misunderstandings of the understandings- and the tears!!

Fabulous!

What a wonderful P&P variation. The plot was fresh and new, the characters well developed, and the ending unexpected. Darcy fights for what he wants, and Elizabeth follows her heart! Oh we have our HEA, and it’s such a great listen all along the way.

The narration is spot on!

This is an excellent author and I recommend all of her P&P books! Great job and thank you for sharing your talents!

Great, but makes you angry!

This was well written. However, when there were roughly 3 hours left, I became so angry on behalf of one of the characters that I had to put it down and come back to it the next day. That being said, I really enjoyed this premise. I absolutely adore the character of Viscount Saye. Anytime I see a book which involves Amy D'Orazio, I know I'm going to see him make an appearance and it never disappoints!

Unreasonable interferences!

This was not a low Aunt version of in the sense of their circumstances, keeping them separated. Surprising new villains missing some OG characters like Lady Catherine and Wickham, intruducef some new characters present in a lot of this author’s other books. Almost docked a point for the performance because this narrator tends to read all the lines a bit more harshly than I think the text calls for but overall, it was delightful and I couldn’t stop listening -so five stars and would recommend.

Angsty

Very angsty story. Darcy is steadfast once he decides to pursue Elizabeth. But the path to happily ever after is very uphill battle. Luckily Viscount Saye steps in to help in his own irreverent way. Elizabeth Grace’s narration is enjoyable as always.
