Catching Lizzy

De: L.L. Diamond

Narrado por: Scarlett Mae Clarke

Lizzy Bennet is a hot mess. She’s about to marry a man she doesn’t love, and she’s sporting a case of cold feet so severe her toes are surely blue. Between her mother’s arrangements, her ridiculous gown, and her stick-in-the-mud fiancé’s compulsive personality traits, she simply can’t go through with the disaster awaiting her.

With the help of her best friend, she can stay at Will Darcy’s for the holidays, but to say Will’s good looking is an understatement! She just ran out on her wedding, the last thing she needs is man, but how is she supposed to resist the dark-haired hottie in Clark Kent glasses? Not to mention watching him interact with his daughter only adds fuel to the fire. Oh, holy heck! She’s about to endure the longest Christmas ever!

Will Darcy leads a quiet life with his daughter and housekeeper. He doesn’t need a wife or a girlfriend disturbing his peace and upending little Georgie’s holidays, so when his cousin brings Lizzy Bennet to Will’s house to hide from her crazy family, he balks. He will not suffer through another one of his cousin’s maniacal matchmaking plots! But Lizzy is… Could his cousin have finally gotten something right? No, that can’t be.

Something has to be wrong with her, doesn’t it? But for the life of him, Will can’t find a single objection—and he’s tried! What’s he supposed to do if she’s living in his house for the holidays, eating at his kitchen table, and lounging on his sofa? She’s either going to make him lose his mind or his heart. But which is worse?

A Modern, seasonal novella

Oh, I loved this! ‘Tis the season for Christmas-themed Pride and Prejudice storylines and this one is a joy to read. In this modern variation, Lizzy becomes a runaway bride by escaping out a church window with help from her best friend, Richard. To hide her away from her overbearing mother, he takes her to Will Darcy’s house for temporary refuge. They have never met before.

Good narration by a new-to-me narrator, Scarlett Mae Clarke.

L.L. Diamond has once again treated her readers to a delightfully feel-good story, that starts out with a hilarious situation followed by an unforgettable introduction. The story is funny, romantic, steamy, and sentimental. I got teary a couple of times, but only in joyous kind of way.

Highly recommend this quick seasonal variation.

Mature/steamy content.

Love the instant chemistry!

Another fantastic story from LL Diamond!! Scarlett did an amazing job of giving voice to the characters. Richard as Lizzy’s gay bestie is a twist I’ve not seen before and I absolutely love how funny and supportive he is. Darcy and Lizzy fall hard and fast for each other (which is a nice switch from some of the more angst riddled JAFF available). Shorter but still sweet with a little bit of spice. Loved it!
