My Own Mr. Darcy

De: Karey White

Narrado por: Heidi Baker

After being dragged to the 2005 movie Pride and Prejudice by her mother, sixteen-year-old Elizabeth's life changes when Matthew Macfadyen's Mr. Darcy appears on the screen.

Lizzie falls hard and makes a promise to herself that she will settle for nothing less than her own Mr. Darcy. This ill-advised pledge threatens to ruin any chance of finding true love. During the six intervening years, she has refused to give any interested suitors a chance. They weren't Mr. Darcy enough.

Coerced by her roommate, Elizabeth agrees to give the next interested guy ten dates before she dumps him. That guy is Chad, a kind and thoughtful science teacher and swim coach. While she's dating Chad, her dream comes true in the form of a wealthy bookstore owner named Matt Dawson, who looks and acts like her Mr. Darcy. Of course she has to follow her dream. But as Elizabeth simultaneously dates a regular guy and the dazzling Mr. Dawson, she's forced to re-evaluate what it was she loved about Mr. Darcy in the first place.

I didn't want it to end!

My phone was in view as I listened the audible version of this book. I could see there was only 10 minutes of narration left. It was hard to except this great story was coming to a close. I truly didn't want it to end.

This book is easy to loose yourself in and very hard to put down. It's the perfect mixture of romance, happiness, suspense and unpredictability.

If you go with the Audible version you will also find the narrator to have a delightful/easy on the ears voice.

If you are reading the reviews, I'm telling you now to pick up this novel. It's a great read!

Toe tingling romance

It was refreshingly clean and flirty and fun! I couldn't stop listening! It has smooth writing and I could easily put it down and come right back to it when I needed to. I kept thinking I knew what was going to happen and then I didn't! It made me think of my own romance and how lovely it is- what a great thing fora writer to be able to do!
The narrator is a little too bubbly for my personal taste and read a few things differently than I would have but she did a great job setting the right tone for each scene and the book in total. So glad I listened! (Even if I did stay up too late!) ;)

A Delightful Read

This was such a fun story to read, especiall for an Austen fan. The writing is very good,the characters very real and multi-dimensional, and the story draws you in from the very brginning. I really enjoyed it and the narration was wonderfully done.
