Summary

9 books about Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet romance variations, all with happily ever afters!

For the first time, all nine books published by Bella Breen are together in one box set.

Pride and Prejudice and Poison
Elizabeth Bennet’s health rapidly deteriorates after an unexpected visit by Lady Catherine de Bourgh at Longbourn. Now Mr. Darcy must save Miss Elizabeth’s life before he can even propose to her!

Pride and Prejudice and Secrets
Newly married Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy expect an uneventful life of bliss at Pemberley. Life, however, has other plans… Between unexpected visitors, scandalous secrets, obnoxious in-laws, and Mr. Darcy’s humorous teasing of Elizabeth about cows, their honeymoon never has a dull moment.

Forced to Marry
Forced to marry…even though they hate each other.
Elizabeth Bennet just refused Mr. Darcy’s disastrous marriage proposal at Hunsford. Unfortunately, while walking on the grounds of Rosings Park to cool her ire, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth are hopelessly compromised. Will they learn to set aside their pride and get along? Or are they doomed to suffer the worst marriage in all of England?

The Rescue of Elizabeth Bennet
Elizabeth will marry Mr. Collins even if Mrs. Bennet has to drag her to the altar. Mr. Darcy fights his attraction to Elizabeth, but when he discovers Elizabeth is set to marry Mr. Collins, the next day, he must face his feelings before his love slips away. Can he rescue Elizabeth before it’s too late? And if so, will the pair of them survive Mr. Collins’ revenge?

Darcy's Cinderella
Will Mr. Darcy save Elizabeth in time? While Mr. Darcy rushes to London to help Lydia avoid ruination, the unexpected death of their father throws Elizabeth Bennet’s future into doubt. Mr. Darcy searches for Elizabeth with the only information he has: her name and her position. Will he find Elizabeth before the Countess separates them forever?

Mr. Darcy Goes to Brighton
An unexpected second chance…but will Lydia ruin it? Will their yearning and love be enough to overcome their class differences? Or will her family’s behavior push Mr. Darcy away again….and this time forever?

Four Months to Wed
An epidemic. A forced marriage. Can love bloom? Can Mr. Darcy make amends for his insulting Elizabeth at the Meryton assembly? Will Elizabeth recover from an unexpected and heartbreaking surprise? Dare Mr. Darcy offer for the woman he desires?

Mr. Darcy's Comedy of Errors
The newlyweds of Derbyshire barely have time to enjoy each other’s company before unexpected visitors descend upon Pemberley. To Elizabeth’s horror, her mother and father have invited themselves to stay with the Darcys, and their departure date remains as elusive as Mrs. Bennet’s manners. When Mr. Darcy learns the shocking cause of this impromptu visit, he must devise a plan with his wife to save her family from ruin… again. But first, he must save his marriage.

A Sheepish Encounter at Pemberley
Things look baaaaad for our dear couple when Elizabeth and the Gardiners visit Pemberley…
Elizabeth Bennet is touring the Peak District with her aunt and uncle. Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner arrive just in time to see Elizabeth being fished from the lake by Mr. Darcy, leaving them both embarrassed and forcing them to marry. As Mr. Darcy courts Elizabeth, old foes try to keep them apart and the sheep have more to say as well. But no matter how hard they try, nothing can stop Mr.

Fabulous Pride and Prejudice Variations!

I’ll admit I took my time meandering through these stories – I want to savor rather than binge. That being said, bingeing would’ve worked as well. These are so well done. Whether you’re a huge Austen fan, or only have a passing knowledge of the writer and book, this pile of variations are for you.

Now, I’m a huge P&P fan – especially the 1995 BBC production with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. So as I listened to each story, I envisioned that cast acting out these different deviations. What if Elizabeth gets poisoned and Darcy is the only one who can save her? What if Mr. Bennet dies before Jane and Bingley are committed? What happens is Mr. Collins takes control?

With each story, I fell farther in love with the original text. Memorable lines felt as familiar as any story I listen to repeatedly. I sank into the Regency world where propriety is paramount and the rules must be obeyed. Well, unless you’re Lydia and Wickham, of course.

These stories were made all the more wonderful from Rafe Beckley’s narration. His talent knows no bounds as he gave perfect voices for each of my beloved characters. He gave life to these stories in a way that was just perfect. Although the books were great, they were made even better by his narration. I can’t wait for more Bella Breen books – especially if they’re narrated by Rafe.

Enjoyable storylines

I have found these storylines very enjoyable, however, American writers must remember that they are attempting to write in English as used in Regency England and that the stories generally take place in Regency England. Frequent use is made of American phrases and terms. In England, even in Regency times we write to someone, we don’t write someone, we go to visit someone and converse or talk we don’t “visit” with them. Turtles are not native to England and would not have been found in ponds or waterways, and likewise, we don’t have catfish. Otherwise, I found the various stories interesting and enjoyable and the narrator was good. In spite of the Americanisms I would listen to these again.

A series of rollicking tales

Although lacking some realism - I am pretty sure a ball at Pemberley organised with only a couple of days notice would not be so well attended, given the distances people would need to travel - and containing a lot of hyperbole, this was a fun listen. It was lighthearted, but with lots of drama and fantastic value with so many different stories. The narrator was clear and easy to listen to, with a soft voice and an excellent variety of voices for the different characters.
Taken with tongue firmly in cheek it brightened many days.

Don't bother!

The characters are caricatures. Words are used incongruously and the grammar is inadequate. To say that the plots are outlandish is to be kind. The narrator tried.
