A Locked Door at Netherfield

Pride and Prejudice Variations

By: Laraba Kendig

Narrated by: Harry Frost

A magnificent ball. A locked door. And a villain in search of scandal.

When Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy find themselves locked together in the library during the Netherfield Ball, they face compromise and scandal. Elizabeth’s startling solution to the problem causes Fitzwilliam Darcy to discover something profound—the lady he ardently admires thoroughly despises him.

Darcy resolves to do everything in his power to change her mind about him. With gossip and slander flowing throughout Meryton, this is not an easy task, but Darcy has never backed down from difficulty.

When the Bennets leave Meryton to escape the whispering of their neighbors, Darcy and Bingley follow, determined to assist the ladies they adore. The appearance of Darcy’s imperious aunt, Lady Catherine, makes the situation grow even more complicated.

Darcy can only forge onward, battling recalcitrant relatives and old enemies, in pursuit of the thing he wants most of all, the hand and heart of Elizabeth Bennet.

This is a sweet and clean, low angst Pride and Prejudice variation where all of the Bennet sisters have happy endings, with a satisfying epilogue.

I really enjoyed this story

This was a delightful read, enjoyable, logical, and full of sensible decisions from start to end.

Uniqueness!

I absolutely adore this new idea of “Pride &
Prejudice!”
This was the third book I enjoyed this week!

one of my favorites of Larabas books

very good, similar to the original story, but with a few differences that move the story in a whole different direction

Low on angst but high on enjoyment!

I liked the low angst. Story lines were not dragged out. It was a clever variation!

Great read

Great read again by Laraba Kendig and narrative by Harry frost. Mr Wickham was the culprit again. And Miss Bingley of course. Great read. Great Jaff.
