There's only one fact that notorious rake Lord Charles Carlisle and his cousin, Fitzwilliam Darcy, can agree upon: a house party given by the Marquess of Bentham is bound to be intolerably dull. To relieve his boredom, Lord Charles accepts a bet that he can seduce his sister's pretty friend during their stay at Bentham Park. After all, it's easy money for an experienced seducer. Why should he care if his staid cousin Darcy disapproves?

But when Darcy discovers that Lord Charles' new target is none other than Elizabeth Bennet, the woman who refused Darcy's offer of marriage, he cannot stand by and watch as the woman he still loves is callously ruined. What he doesn't know is that Lord Charles has a dark secret, and that his attentions to Elizabeth may not be what they seem. After a midnight rescue, clandestine meetings, a long-lost son, conspiracies, blackmail, and an attempted elopement, everyone can agree that this house party is anything but dull.

This was a story that showed the difference in the class distinctions even more than some others I’ve read.

Lizzy is befriended by a daughter of th upper class when she is very young, but is treated by the family as a step above the servants, except by her young friend.

Later in the story, however, we do see that her friends moral views are not the same.

We also see evidence of the adage that absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Really enjoyed the twists and turns in this tale.

As a huge P&P fan I loved this book! If you are looking for a book that follows the original story with slight variations this is not it. New characters and completely new storyline. Also at times a very jealous Mr. Darcy. Twist and turns (and secret makeouts) lead to a happy ending.

New Story Same Elizabeth and Mr.Darcy

I love when new characters can be added without significantly altering the canon of who Darcy and Elizabeth are - she did a great job manufacturing a wholly new scenario with new people while still giving us the right ratio of angst and desire that follow Elizabeth and Darcy. I could tell how much I liked this rewrite by how upset I was at the misunderstanding - even when I know the eventual outcome is a happy every after

Loved the Love Triangle!

Where does Mr. Darcy's Noble Connections rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

AR is a great writer of Pride & Prejudice variations. The witty repartee shines. The prose is high quality.

Slightly warmer than Georgette Heyer but still very sensual rather than physical.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Favourite scene. Lisbeth's late night departure from Bentham park.

What does Elizabeth Klett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Extremely good narration.

But still a few mispronunciations? Isn't it per-goal-a?

Austen-like dialog sparkles
