Under the Mistletoe with Mr. Darcy

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

De: Charlotte Weatherby

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Beneath a simple sprig of mistletoe, everything Elizabeth believed about Mr. Darcy—and herself—begins to change.

When Mr. Bingley chooses not to leave Netherfield—despite Mr. Darcy’s counsel—the winter holidays unfold differently for the Bennet family. Jane’s courtship continues to blossom, bringing the Bennets frequently to Netherfield for dinners, musical evenings, and, eventually, a grand Christmas gathering. And with each visit, Elizabeth finds herself increasingly in Mr. Darcy’s company.

The man she once believed proud and distant now reveals a gentleness she never imagined: thoughtful conversations, unexpected smiles, and a quiet protectiveness that unsettles every certainty she held about him. And when Miss Caroline Bingley launches a plan to catch Mr. Darcy under the mistletoe, a surprise encounter with Mr. Darcy chips away at Elizabeth’s defenses and warms her heart in ways she struggles to understand.

Yet the season is not without shadows. Wickham’s mischief threatens the harmony of the holiday, and the Bennet household brings its usual lively chaos. As Elizabeth navigates these complications, she must confront a truth far more disquieting: she may have wholly misjudged Mr. Darcy… and her feelings for him may already be irrevocably changed.

Let yourself get swept away in a tender holiday Pride and Prejudice variation where one altered choice sets two hearts on a new path, misunderstandings melt in winter light, and love blooms at the most unexpected moment.

Great story

It was a cute story about mistletoe and mr Bingley not going to town after the ball. Only annoying thing was the volume differed while listening. It was lower when the man was narrating compared to the woman. Otherwise great jaff.

Cute

I listened to this audiobook which uses virtual voice. That is never the best choice unfortunately. This one had dual virtual narrators. The female voice was better than the male. The volume differed between the two. In fact I could barely hear the male even at full volume. And even discounting that issue, I didn't like the male that much.
The story itself was pretty cute as Caroline does her level best to catch Mr. Darcy under that mistletoe but something always seemed to go awry. The story is low angst and even Wickham is figured out by Lizzy recognizing his duplicity fairly easily.
I enjoyed the story.
