Dangerous Magic

Mr. Darcy’s Magic, Book 1

De: Monica Fairview

Narrado por: Jennifer M. Dixon

A sparkling tale of Regency England, a forced marriage, and two magicians who must work together to save the Kingdom.

Elizabeth Bennet is stunned when someone from the Royal Mage Academy comes to her peaceful country home to take her away. She is even more bewildered when she is commanded to marry a powerful gentleman by the name of Fitzwilliam Darcy. She has always dreamed of marrying for love, and an arranged marriage with an arrogant stranger was never part of her plans.

Fitzwilliam Darcy is equally dissatisfied with this match. An obscure young lady from the middle of nowhere is hardly worthy of his position. But Darcy and Elizabeth have no choice in the matter. Uniting their two forms of magic is essential if they are to defeat Napoleon's magicians. They may dislike each other on sight, but Elizabeth and Darcy have to overcome their differences and find common ground before it is too late.

Fortunately, it is not long before the sparks begin to fly between them.

Elizabeth at 87years....

Such a well done, interesting P & P telling. The only thing wrong is that the narrative sounds like an old woman, and an old lady voice is wrong for Elizabeth Darcy.

Great start to a series.

I am not normally into magic but I really enjoyed this book. It was well written and I look forward to read/listen to the next part. Great Jaff

Fantastic!

I loved the world and the way agic was handled, and the slow burning romance was just right. I could see where it was going but it was just a vague enough impression that when it was confirmed it gave me SO much pleasure to see it!

Lady Catherine's voice for Lizzie?

The story is good but undermined by vocal casting. While Ms.Dixon is without doubt talented, her voice is far too... mature for a 20ish maiden. It's like listening to Lady Catherine being courted by Darcy. Like casting Dame Judi Dench (love her) as Lizzie rather than Kiera Knightly.
We are visual beings, even in our imaginations. And our voices age as we do. Just because we can't see their beautiful gray hair, it does not mean that we don't know it's there.

Entertaining

Fun to read, and fun to hear. This is an original take on D & E as magic wielders. The narrator gave a great performance.
