The Rogue's Widow

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

De: Nicole Clarkston

Narrado por: Harry Frost

An arrangement she cannot refuse. An attachment he cannot deny.

Elizabeth Bennet never expected that answering an advertisement for a lady’s companion would result in almost immediate marriage and widowhood. Destitute and hopeless after her father’s death, she accepts the position as a means to provide a home for her family, but is daily baffled by the abrupt ways and inscrutable motives of her employer and benefactor, Mr. Darcy.

Fitzwilliam Darcy had a simple plan: secure a steady companion for his younger sister Georgiana and a wife for his father’s dying ward, to prevent a neighboring estate from falling into the hands of George Wickham.

Elizabeth Bennet is the perfect answer...a little too perfect. As her sweetly impertinent character encourages Georgiana and wins the respect of the village, Darcy’s own heart begins to fall for the woman whom honor forbids him even to think of.

When a legal challenge brings into question Elizabeth’s rights to the estate, Darcy must find a way to mend old family breaches and reveal secrets better forgotten. Will he permit himself to reach for the one who holds his happiness? Or will events conspire to take her forever from his life?

The Rogue’s Widow is a clean Regency variation of approximately 50,000 words.

good storyline

the storyline was good and made logical sense. the only problem I had was that the narrator paused too often in the reading, sometimes after every single word. I sped the pace up to 1.25 and it was much easier to listen to.

No delay in start

What I love most about this book was there were no dead parts. The book got right into action and never had any lulls. Different from other variations and still kept to each characters true nature aside from Richard and Anne but they fit the story well.

highly entertaining!

read the book first and enjoyed it thoroughly but Harry Frost's reading captured the spirit of the book and it's characters. He made enhanced the experience as some performers are able to do highlighting Ms. Clarkston's wit with his own wry humor.

Fantastic pairing of Alix James & Harry Frost

Wonderful story, well-written and well-performed! Such a great, sweet, clean, happily-ever-after for ODC after conquering all obstacles!

Sweetly Solid Pride & Prejudice Variation

Nicole Clarkston is a solid writer who keeps the spark of Lizzie Bennett and Mr. Darcy true to form. Very enjoyable, feel good book. Jane Austin would be proud.
Harry Frost does an EXCELLENT job voice-acting and would be a secret weapon to any writer.
