Publisher's summary

Elizabeth Bennet is devastated by her sister’s elopement. Mr. Darcy’s ardent love for her leaves him no choice but to act.

Mr. Darcy has finally accepted that he wishes only for Elizabeth, and when they meet at Pemberley, he speaks plainly of his devotion. Despite their uncertain future, he is determined to assist the Bennet family – surely no young lady, however foolish, deserves to be Mrs. Wickham. And Darcy has a plan.

Jane falls prey to bewilderment and anger as Bingley returns to Hertfordshire. He hopes to renew their courtship, but Jane’s world was shaken by his departure and the cruelty of his sisters, and her views of those around her have changed considerably.

In the months since Elizabeth rejected his proposal, she has realized she cares greatly for Mr. Darcy. As they travel along the Great North Road to Gretna Green, they are able to enjoy one another’s companionship and conversation. But not everyone is pleased by Darcy’s involvement.

This is a sweet and clean, low angst Pride and Prejudice variation where all of the Bennet sisters have happy endings.

Perfection

This was such an enjoyable listen with low angst and one of my favorite narrators. Squeaky clean with a wonderfully thorough epilogue describing each character’s life after the story concluded.

Fresh perspective

I love stories that deviate far from the original. Why would I want to read the same story over and over again? The more far out the better. I think Jane A. would love it. I like when characters are redeemed to a point. So much more fun. On a journey to Gretna Green Lydia has to make a choice and she’s the ticket to save the family. Darcy is wonderful and solid. Elizabeth is not obnoxious as so many authors make her in the “vagaries”. Worth a credit. I admit I search for Harry Frost narratives and was delighted to see him paired with a favorite author, immediate buy.

So good

Truly enjoyable. Darcy and Elizabeth are accompanying Lydia and 3 prospective husbands to Gretna Green for Lydia to possibly marry one of the three. Fantastic performance by Harry Frost.

Automatic purchase!

When you combine Laraba Kendig and Harry Frost it’s an automatic choice for me! This Darcy is truly in love with Elizabeth and will do whatever is necessary to make sure that they can be together. The growth in Lydia is encouraging and it makes one think that if a few things that if changed in canon what a different story it would have been but that’s what we all get to enjoy as so many talented writers bring us new perspectives to our favorite Pride and Prejudice classic. Many times when you see anything suggesting Gretna Green it’s a mad dash but this one is much slower with much character growth during that time. This will easily be a regular re-read / listen.

Such a Beautiful P&P variation!

Love how all characters were in this story or at least mentioned as well as the new characters that were introduced. Also appreciated the extra long epilogue. Harry Frost is a favorite and provided excellent narration as usual.

An absolutely delightful listen!

Laraba Kendig has done it again! What a refreshing twist on all the characters we love and those we love to hate! I particularly enjoyed the storylines of Lydia Bennet and Caroline Bingley! Masterfully done! And, is there any end to Harry Frost's range?? Absolutely incredible! Loved his variety in voicing new characters in this variation. Well done both of you, Laraba and Harry!

A good twist on Lydia’s elopement.

Another good, no-angst read from Laraba Kendig. When Darcy finds Elizabeth after reading Jane’s letters about Lydia’s elopement with Wickham, he tells her then that he will find them, and undertakes to do just that. What ensues is a trip to Gretna with a twist, accompanied by crowd, but an absent Wickham who ran when initially confronted by Darcy. Lydia learns some lessons.

The five-star narration is excellent—expertly and most enjoyably performed by the one and only Harry Frost.
