Five Gentlemen at Netherfield

Pride and Prejudice Variations

De: Laraba Kendig

Narrado por: Harry Frost

Rivals may pursue Elizabeth Bennet, but only Mr. Darcy can claim her heart

When Netherfield is let at last and five eligible gentlemen arrive, Hertfordshire is alive with laughter, rivalries, and hopeful hearts. Yet, the Bennet sisters are far from desperate. Mary is the wealthy heiress of the family, and each sister’s fortune brings delightful opportunities and surprising challenges.

Jane, more independent than ever, forces Bingley to prove he deserves her, while Lydia and Kitty discover that lessons in maturity may lead to happiness far beyond their girlish dreams. Amid laughter, stolen glances, and altered fates, every sister has a chance to grow—and to love.

Without the shadow of insult and misunderstanding, Elizabeth and Darcy’s acquaintance begins with mutual respect, blossoming into admiration. Their journey toward love is tender, steady, and deeply romantic—yet not without obstacles, for Elizabeth attracts more than one suitor, and Darcy must win her heart through his quiet heroism and steadfast devotion.

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

Engaging and lovely

Heartily recommend this story. The author is one of my favorites and this did not disappoint! Harry Frost - can never go wrong with his narration.

Love Harry Frost and this book went on to the marriage of all the Bennett ladies

Really well done still lots of angst but worth it . A twist in the cannon and the love that came to be is a delight

Great Narration

Without a doubt, the team of author Laraba Kendig and narrator Harry Frost always produce high-quality audiobook entertainment. This story features a twist wherein the Bennet girls inherit trust funds that ensure their future security. Thus, when the five gentlemen come to Netherfield Park, their acceptance of a marriage proposal is not guaranteed. This independence leads to Elizabeth taking an entertaining muddy walk home from Netherfield with Darcy chasing after her. Very well done audiobook!

Enjoyable

The first 2/3 of the story was just as the blurb stated. Light airy and fun. But then a crisis happened and the story took a heart wrenching turn. The pace also dragged a little for me at that point. But the ending was very good. Harry Frost’s performance was great as always

Delightful

Five Gentlemen at Netherfield is delightful read. I could not put the book aside. Very, very nice pride and Prejudice variation. I loved this book and there is nothing I dislike about it. I would recommend to anyone that wants a good book to listen to, read or both.

Nice story, but light plot

This is good, sweet, story, as all are by this author, but I found this one to be particularly light on the plot, which is how four gentleman guests join Bingley at Netherfield and all five ultimately find a bride. It all went a little too smoothly for everyone, except poor Mr. Bennet. Sometimes a little bump in the road adds more interest to the story—even Wickham was dealt with quickly. This is also a multi-epilogue book. One of them takes the reader to the time of Queen Victoria’s during a coronation fair. It made me think I’d like to read a variation that bring ODC and company in the Victorian era.

I did enjoy the audiobook though, and always look forward to Laraba Kendig’s next. I listened to a couple of hours each evening as I wound down before sleep.

Harry Frost brings his wonderful talent to the story which kept me in it throughout. He’s always fantastic. Five stars.

Interesting story line

A bit long but still enjoyable. Somewhat repetitive in spots.
Excellent performance by Harry Frost

Long

Not a lot of chemistry between Darcy and Elizabeth
The story was good but was not developed very well.
