About this listen

Despite having met a short time ago, it seemed as though he had always known her

ELIZABETH BENNET AND FITZWILLIAM DARCY have an instant attraction to one another when they meet in the summer of 1811 at Netherfield Park. Love blossoms quickly and an autumn wedding is planned for happily betrothed couple.

DARCY’S YOUNGER SISTER GEORGIANA is spending time with her aunt Lady Catherine de Bourgh in Kent when she suddenly goes missing. Her aunt believes Darcy sent for her to go to Pemberley under the protection of her companion Mrs Younge. Alas, too late, it is discovered that Georgiana has eloped with George Wickham, having fooled everyone. By the time she returns, she is married to the blackguard and a scandal is poised to erupt.

CAN LOVE SURVIVE in the midst of a family crisis? Mr Bennet delays the wedding as the newly married Wickhams come into Hertfordshire and make everyone around them miserable. Darcy offers to release Elizabeth from their engagement but Elizabeth has a different idea. Will she be able to save them all from ruin?

Whoever Lives in Love is a love at first sight, Darcy and Elizabeth against the world Pride and Prejudice Variation with closed door content and moderate angst including the elopement of a secondary character.

In this variation, Fitzwilliam Darcy does not insult Elizabeth Bennet at the Meryton assembly.

They dance, become friends and rapidly fall in love.
Soon they are betrothed.

If it all seems too easy, you would be right!

Darcy's fifteen year old sister, Georgiana arrives at Netherfield, delighted to announce that she eloped with George Wickham. They should congratulate her on becoming Mrs Wickham.

Unfortunately, Wickham is a friend-turned enemy, who delights in gloating of his power over his young wife.

Soon Elizabeth and Darcy must find a way to deal with Wickham, while protecting Georgiana from harm.

To add to their woes, Mr Bennet takes a dim view of the scandal and suspends any discussion of a wedding date.

Wickham is horrible and Georgiana is staggering dumb.
Darcy is barely restraining himself from violence and is only kept under good regulation by Elizabeth's loving support.

Lucy Marin is always worth reading and I am happy to recommend this book.

Lucy Marin does not disappoint

I am a fan of Lucy Marin and Being Mrs Darcy is one of my favourites. This one was quite enjoyable and the twist of Georgiana actually marrying Wickham was good. I would have liked a little more action, as most of the book is the characters sitting around at Netherfield discussing what to do about Wickham. Georgiana is just so drippy and pathetic in this book that I lost sympathy for her. She has no redeeming character features at all. And I would like to have seen more of the Matlocks. Narration was fine.

Interesting variation but not my favourite of her books

The story was completely different from P & P but the characters were very recognisable. It was a bit slow in places and the butter boat was applied liberally at the end.

A different JAFF

this story seems to meander around going nowhere slowly i admit i started then skipped whole chapters so if i had had less embarrassment i might have eventually found more enjoyment but it was so difficult to listen to i had to skip through.

only time i have felt sorry for the narrator
