The Laughter of Love

The Laughter of Love: Her Unforgettable Laugh, Book 3
: Linda Thompson


The final book in this series brings all our familiar characters back with more scheming, conniving, and even some redemption. There was plenty of adventure and romance and suspense too. It was a fun listen.


The narration was well done.The characters were well portrayed by Nancy Peterson.

Book 3?

The information on Audible says this is book 2. But the narrator refers to this as book 3. I do believe it’s book 3. I think “Laughter Through Trials” is actually book 2.

The book was tolerable, but they cried to much!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Laughter of Love to be better than the print version?

I only listened to the audio book and I have enjoyed all three books. The eyes of all the women were continually "brimming with tears, glistening with tears and otherwise filling with tears" and it became distracting and somewhat humorous after three books.

Any additional comments?

Although the crying, glistening, and tearing eyes was distracting I enjoyed the series.

Wonderful storytelling

I have read and listened to many books on the continuing story of Elizabeth & Darcy. This is by far my favorite. Starting with the first to the third book it tells us in great detail the love & many hurdles the couple and their family and friends must endure. I love learning about the lifestyle, their homes and dress of the time period. I also so enjoyed listening to Nancy Peterson and will now seek out other books she has narrated for further listening enjoyment. Thank you Linda for capturing the essence of one of the most famous and loved couples ever conceived.

Well worth the read of book 3

What did you love best about The Laughter of Love?

Book 3 answers everything. It i s worth the time to listen as to what happens to Elizabeth and Darcy.

Have you listened to any of Nancy Peterson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes in book 2/ No comparison she is as good in this book as in the last one.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Caroline made me sad. You will have to listen to see what happens to her.

well done

loved it! Bravo, excellent work book 1 through 3 if they were all wonderful. a beautiful love story, I would recommend this to anyone who is a romantic and who loves a good story.

Part 3 of 3. Loved it

Now I have listened to the whole story. Wow. So detailed and well written. And so many lovely characters added. Some angst to keep you on your toes. I highly recommend this book to a Jane Austen fan fiction lover.

Final book in a good series

The third book in the series, along with the first book, is very good. The middle book is a little weak. The third book wraps everything up nicely. Lots of bad guys who get what they deserve, and lots of good people who also get what they deserve.
The narrator is excellent. She had a lovely voice - you can hear laughter in her voice.

Be warned. Written and narrated by Americans.

For the record, I'm American. And I love trilogies, so I bought all three. I really, really wanted to like this. For a background book it's okay. The storyline has real potential.

But.......

I don't believe that Regency Brits were this emotional (like 21st century Americans). "Stiff upper lip" and all that, not a quivering chin. Way more tears, eyes welling and downright sobbing than I've heard in the last twenty books of JAFF. But I'm American, so I can overlook it.

The villians; Wickham, Lady Catherine, Ms. Bingley, Mrs Bennet, etc. plus a new character, are all pulled from the same diagnostic manual. Malignant narcisists. Not alot of personality deviation. Same basic person, just cut and paste the name. Somewhat lazy writing.

The narration. Sigh..... The narration. Mostly good but... Be prepared for hugely overly exaggerated posh accents in the titled characters. And non-British pronunciations The ton...like the weight rather than the dawn. Valet with no t), Choppter, for chapter, It goes on and on. For goodness sake, watch Downtown Abbey. Or Bridgerton. Or better yet....Pride and Predudice.

Okay, I'm a grammar snob so the mispronounced words really bugged me. It's so basic. But so integral to the experience.

And btw, it's the "Cut Direct", not the direct cut.

Weak character creation

All the villains behave the same and all say the exact same thing, it’s comical, not to mention how far out their pretenses are, it’s almost like law and order has no meaning, they can behave, harm or kill who they like and still think they will just get all they want once the person in their way is removed, and where is Elizabeth Bennett? She is meek and insecure, not to mention how worshiped she is. it’s a good story concept but the villains are way over the top and have the exact same personality.
