An Offer of Marriage

A Pride and Prejudice Variation (The Engaged to Mr Darcy Series)

De: Amy D'Orazio

Narrado por: Elizabeth Grace

A finer punishment does not exist than if I were to accept him.
Elizabeth Bennet—shocked, dismayed, and emotional following Mr Darcy’s offensive proposal in Hunsford parsonage—makes a flippant remark to her friend Charlotte Collins. She observes that, given Mr Darcy’s disdain for her family, accepting him would be the worst punishment imaginable for him, for then he would be forever connected to the very people he so despised. She speaks in jest…but Mrs Collins fears she might be serious.

Mr Darcy leaves Hunsford parsonage following his proposal feeling a measure of joy at his beloved’s acceptance of his proposal. Alas, his news is received less than joyously at Rosings Park and he fears Elizabeth might be in some danger. With the help of his cousin, he hurries her out of Kent and to the safety of her relations in London.

Caught in a grave misunderstanding, whereby Mr Darcy thinks she has accepted him, Elizabeth soon finds that Mr Darcy is a vastly different man than she had previously understood him to be. A man that she likes…a man that she might perhaps come to love.

As the days of happy courtship pass in London, the secret of how she really felt the night of his proposal lingers. When the truth comes out, Mr Darcy feels he has been made an object of ridicule, and Elizabeth fears she might have lost him for good.

An Offer of Marriage is a forced marriage, enemies to lovers to enemies and then back to lovers again, closed door regency romance.

Pride Perfected

Amy D’Orazio is one of my favorite JAFF authors. I love how she introduces original characters into the Pride and Prejudice world while keeping them true to the spirit of Austen. Lord Say is my absolute favorite—his humor, charm, and consistency make every scene he appears in a highlight. (I’d love to see an entire book about Lord Say and Lillian!)

Elizabeth Grace is an outstanding narrator. My new favorite! She doesn’t just tell the story—she embodies it. Her ability to give each character a distinct, emotionally rich voice is remarkable. She truly brings the story to life.

This is a wonderful listen from start to finish. If I could give it more than five stars, I absolutely would.

High Angst

This is a very high angst story. Elizabeth is tormented by Darcy’s unforgiving temper. Saye, as usual, comes to the rescue and makes Darcy rethink his actions. It of course has a very happy ending. Elizabeth Grace does acgreat job narrating.

Could not stop listening!

I really could not stop listening! It was so well done! Amy D'orazio is probably my favorite P&P adaptation author and I was so excited to see she had a new audiobook. And I really love Elizabeth Grace's narration! She has a beautiful voice.

love love love, found myself crying several times

great book wish it could have been even longer, would love to hear more books by this author

Excellent

I’ve been on a full JAFF feeding frenzy lately—jumping from one story to the next—and this audiobook was another delight. The plot is engaging, but what truly elevated the experience was Elizabeth Grace’s narration. Her deep, soothing voice drew me right in, and every character had a distinct, easy‑to‑follow tone. She made the whole story even more enjoyable.
