Step Lively, Mr. Darcy: A Christmastime Regency Clean Romance AUDIOBOOK
Elizabeth’s mother has lied. Now the horrible Thorpes have come for Christmas!
No matter that the fib is an old one, Elizabeth Bennet’s cousins are certain that she is an heiress. There is a fortune to be had through marriage, and John Thorpe is hungry for it.
Repelling the man’s advances is only one of Elizabeth’s troubles. John’s sister has a devious plan to become the next mistress of Longbourn. And then there is Jane’s future to consider. Nothing can be allowed to stand in the way of her happiness!
Fitzwilliam Darcy knows exactly why his friend is keen to have Christmas at Netherfield, and her name is Jane Bennet. He agrees to spend one week with Bingley, no more. The lovely Elizabeth will be dangerously nearby. But surely nothing can happen within a single week!
Then Darcy discovers that Elizabeth is badly in need of rescue. What else can he do but lend a hand? Darcy needs to watch his step, however. His foolish heart is all too eager to tumble headlong into love.
Intrigue, secret love, and laughter are waiting for you in this lighthearted romantic romp, narrated by Benjamin Fife.
"Step Lively, Mr. Darcy" is available in eBook and paperback editions at Amazon.

I enjoyed very much seeing Mr Darcy’s playful side in determined competition with the other gents. My favourite scenes were the discussion about Helen of Troy, and Darcy asking Elizabeth where he should hit John Thorpe. I must admit it would have been good to see Henry Tilney do that to Thorpe in Northanger Abbey.
I love this book. This author is gifted. I have listened to this book several times. What a wonderful variation. Jane Austin characters are always fun, but this story is one of the best.
Your channel is new Laura! How fun!!! I'm going to listen when I need a nice rest from my own writing. I love Benjamin Fife's voice. 😊

See, this is what I love about having a KZread channel. I get to share the fun! Your channel is building splendidly -- an inspiration! :D Happy listening, and thanks for subscribing.
Another great adaptation, the obnoxious Thorps & the equally obnoxious Mr Collins, very well drawn characters & all very pleasing to get too know. Congratulations on bringing all the characters into our lives once again & doing it so well. Many, many thanks xxxx

I've been hearing that readers are weary of Wickham as the bad guy, so I went looking for someone else. Enter John Thorpe and his manipulative sister! I'm glad you enjoyed them, Lynda.
I enjoyed the reading with the different tones of voice depending on the character. Excellent reading
Another creative mix of Jane Austen's characters! It's such fun to listen to Laura Hile's books! This time the Thorpes are at Longbourne and are creating all sorts of havoc. A delightful read with no angst between Darcy and Elizabeth; just shared amusement and a timely rescue or two. Benjamin Fife brings life to the characters and is a delight to listen to!

Kathy, wasn't this one a hoot? I've been hearing that readers are tired of Wickham being the villain, so I brought in the Thorpes. 😄 Thanks for listening.
Oh boy, I can’t wait to hear this! John Thorpe is my #1 Favorite Austen Creep!

How many stories have Mr. Darcy falling in love?

Hi, Beverly, Hi, Beverly, If Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth are in it, he's falling in love. These are variations, not sequels or series books. In Want of a Wife, So This Is Love, and Sir Walter Takes a Wife are not Darcy-Elizabeth love stories, although you will find them in the background. Thanks for your interest in my audiobooks. Happy listening! And Merry Christmas too.

@@LauraHileAudiobooks Thanks for the explanation. I find theses variations a bit confusing. That's why I don't listen as soon as I find it's Darcy again. It always seems as if he is looking for a bride and not as if he has already found one with whom he is deeply in love.

@@beverlyhall1672 Hi, Beverley, Ah yes, Jane Austen fan fiction. Those who love this genre are voracious readers, meaning that they buy many, many eBooks -- or read on Kindle Unlimited. "Re-living" variations of Darcy and Elizabeth's romance is their favorite. We who write in this genre have learned to give readers what they're hungry for. 😃 On the other hand, KZread reaches a much wider audience. To my surprise and delight, my two most popular audiobooks are not Darcy and Elizabeth romances. Thus, I am encourged to branch out with original Regency stories. . . along with the occasional Darcy and Elizabeth romance. 😃 Thanks for your feedback, Beverly. I'm learning as I go. Happy New Year! 🎊

Love your books with the female narrators... can't listen to the ones with the male voices, they are jarring.
