Über diesen Titel

Elizabeth’s mother has lied. Now the horrible Thorpes have come for Christmas!

No matter that the fib is an old one, Elizabeth Bennet’s cousins are certain that she is an heiress. Is not the Bennet’s prosperous estate evidence enough? There is a fortune to be had through marriage, and John Thorpe is hungry for it.

Repelling the man’s advances is only one of Elizabeth’s troubles. John’s sister has a devious plan to become the next mistress of Longbourn. And then there is Jane’s future to consider. Nothing can be allowed to stand in the way of her happiness!

Fitzwilliam Darcy knows exactly why his friend is keen to have Christmas at Netherfield, and her name is Jane Bennet. He agrees to spend one week with Bingley, no more. The lovely Elizabeth will be dangerously nearby. But surely nothing can happen within a single week!

Then Darcy discovers that Elizabeth is badly in need of rescue. What else can he do but lend a hand? Darcy needs to watch his step, however. His foolish heart is all too eager to tumble headlong into love.

Secret love, mischief, and laughter are yours in this lighthearted Christmastime romp.

Shortly after Darcy and Bingley leave for town, Bingley is eager to return to Netherfield. After some persuasion Darcy is willing to accompany him - but only for one week. One week will surely not inflame his admiration for Elizabeth Bennet.
The Netherfield party has left and Elizabeth turned down the proposal of marriage from Mr Collins, therefore Mrs Bennet thinks of a scheme. She invites her distant relations, the Thorpes, and plans to match their son with her second daughter.
When the Thorpes arrive the residents of Longbourn are soon all vexed by them. And when Elizabeth needs a quick rescue it is Mr Darcy of all people who provides it. Soon the two have a better understanding of one another and love begins to blossom.
Will their blossoming love lead to an understanding? What about the vexing John Thorbe? And will Darcy and Elizabeth be able to prevent the mischief the Thorpes meant to cause?

The story was very well written by the author Laura Hile. I always enjoy her books very much and I like this variation particularly. It was one of the first Pride and Prejudice variations I have read. And each time I read it or listen to it I thoroughly enjoy it. I really like that it is such a funny, lighthearted story. And Darcy flirting with Elizabeth is one of the things I love most to see.
The story is a crossover story, the Thorpes from Northanger Abbey are here distant relations of Mrs Bennet.

I do love stories where Darcy is flirting with Elizabeth. Therefore this story is totally to my liking. Darcy is very much at ease with Elizabeth and, due to the unwanted advances of her cousin Thorpe he rescues her several times. I think this makes him a bit brave and daring. He flirts openly with Elizabeth and with this behaviour he is able to win Elizabeth’s heart. I like this more open, approachable and lovable Darcy very much.

Because of his changed manners and his flirting, Elizabeth is also more at ease with Darcy. She understands that she may have judged him wrongly and harshly in the past. She is quickly persuaded by Darcy's new demeanour, in particular by his kisses ;-) . In my opinion she was never indifferent to him, only her sympathy and attraction were clouded by his behaviour and she told herself that he was not worth her notice.

I really love how quickly their relationship progresses after Darcy’s first rescue and later his kisses with Elizabeth. It is a bit as if something holding them back has finally broken. But it’s not to their disadvantage because they are well suited to one another and they both see it that way, too. I really like that they, as a couple secretly in love, brave the mischief of Elizabeth’s Thorpe-relations together. They try to diminish the damage intended and do their best to not let the Thorpes achieve their goal.

As you may guess from the book descriptions the Thorpes are not respectable relations. They think the Longbourn daughters are wealthy relatives and therefore try to secure their wealth for themselves in different ways. Fortunately they were wrong about the wealth and are, in the end, not successful with their scheming and plotting. They are even cast out of the house by Mrs Bennet who invited them. I enjoyed that development so very much.

The story was narrated by the wonderful Benjamin Fife. I always enjoy his narrations very much and in my opinion he is the perfect choice of narrator for this audiobook. I especially liked his Darcy in his flirting rogue mode ;-)


If you like to know if Darcy rescuing Elizabeth from the attentions of her Thorpe cousin will lead to losing his own heart you should definitely listen to this excellent audiobook.

I highly recommend it.
