Description
Based on the enduring characters created by Jane Austen, this is a contemporary spin on a classic tale of love denied and love discovered.
Christmas just became a lot more complicated for dog psychologist Lizzie Bennet and her sisters. While shopping in London, they find little urchin Annie and her dog, Sammy. As a fierce snowstorm takes over the city, the aloof but alluring Mister Darcy invites the girls, including Annie and Sammy, to spend the night at his penthouse.
With the best of intentions, Darcy asks Annie and her seven siblings to join the Bennet sisters for a quiet Christmas Eve celebration in his London fortress. The skulduggery begins when Caroline Bingley – the villainess Austen fans love to boo – shows up acting the part of the Grinch and Scrooge combined.
Barbara Silkstone is the best-selling author of 10 novels and four box sets. Her comedy mysteries feature goodhearted heroines caught up in screwball situations.
Mister Darcy’s Christmas is the second book in Silkstone’s Mister Darcy series of light comedies based on Jane Austen’s timeless tales of jolly old England.
May Anderson –
I was definitely not a fan of Pride and Prejudice in my school age years and still to this day, but oh my god! This was an absolutely great book to read! Annie is a delightful little girl that one my heart from her first comment. It was great to see the dad get some nerve as well and step up for his children!
The narrator Karen Krause does an awesome job of bringing the characters to live and having you laughing one moment or wanting to strangle someone another. I definitely need to go back and get book one and continue reading this series!
