Elizabeth Bennet is dismayed when she discovers the holiday guests of Netherfield include Mr. Darcy. How will she remain in the spirit of Christmas when faced with such a disagreeable man? Yet, with the kindness and attention he displays to her two young cousins, and the handsome Mr. Wickham’s character beginning to unravel, can she really trust in first impressions?

Fun Christmas Novella

This is the fourth Pride and Prejudice book I have read by Anngela Schroeder and I have loved every one of them! Although I prefer the longer versions of Anngela Schroeder’s Pride and Prejudice variations, Anngela did a wonderful job with this shorter novella. It still captured the magic between Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett. It was fun to get to know some of the other characters better as well. I would definitely recommend reading this delightful story!

Fun, holiday variation on Lizzy & Mr Darcy

Loved the narration and use of multiple voices. Even the nuances of Lizzy, Jane, and Georgiana’s voices were captured.

Great story

I love this novela! As a huge fan of pride and prejudice this story was really cute and very interesting!! Very realistic and I’m glad that wickham was out in jail instead of ending up with Lydia. Or any other girl.

Terrific Christmas Austenesque tale

Easy to recommend this sweet Christmas novella by Anngela Schroeder, narrated by outstanding voice actress Elizabeth Grace. Enjoyable!

Very good. Unfortunately

Unfortunately, if you compare it with the written text, there are two sections missing from the end of chapter five. The events are referred to in the last scene of the story (the proposal scene!) so the fact that they're missing is serious.

Great story

Loved this short little story. Very well written and witty. Cute little cousins as well. Christmas at Netherfield was great.

Love her variations!

If I could change one thing, I would make this a full book instead of a novella. This was sweet, slightly predictable, but also had a few different twists I very much appreciated. Schroeder writes P&P variations so well. I cannot wait for the next!

Delectable Romantic Yarn

You will find yourself present, and become quickly engrossed in the festive happenings as beloved characters from Pride and Prejudice assemble at Netherfield Park for Christmas.

The reader's impeccable English accent and numerous voices delightfully convey this delectable romantic yarn filled with discovery. It gave me gooseflesh!

Sweet story w/ just enough angst. Excellent Reading

I always enjoy narrator Elizabeth Grace’s warm Darcy. This is a sweet story all of the way around.

Like a big Christmas hug and hopes for future kisses

I loved everything about this adorable Christmas short story. Two little girls steal the show.

Darcy and Georgiana are invited to Netherfield for Christmas where he has already invited his business mentor and friend of his own father-Mr Gardiner and family. The Gardiner daughters are captivated by Miss Darcy and the Bennet’s eldest two entertain their cousins and befriend Georgiana, making for a fun time for the girls. But also giving Mr Darcy and Elizabeth to slowly improve the poor impression that she had when the Netherfield party left the previous month with no goodbyes.

Darcy had already made up his mind about Elizabeth by the time he agreed to go to Bingley’s for the holidays. It’s a charming and sweet story, with smiles and all lighthearted moments. Highly recommended. Very endearing and the narrator is so lovely.
