What is a hypothetical marriage

Revisado: 12-17-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Hypothetically Married captured my imagination. What kind of marriage would only be hypothetical? A sham marriage in name only or no marriage only the pretense of one,? whose marriage? I could hardly wait to listen to find out.
We meet five heiresses who would have given up their inheritances to be back at Longhorn. Happily their personalities did not change so we watch how they handle being heiresses and the problems they confront. The authors choose to develop the personalities of the aunts and uncles thus adding wrinkles to plans. What you want to know about hypotheticals that is best part about the story so listen yourself! Thank you to the authors for gifting this audible book to me.

Tragedy overwhelmed by a compromise

Revisado: 01-22-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

The authors were gentle with us readers by letting us know of the tragedy before the sisters.. How the tragedy was revealed to each was exactly appropriate to their natures. Seeing your home in ashes is quite profound. Becoming an heiress before you are adjusted to reality can lead to compromise. I totally enjoyed the solution to the problem.

Having already purchased the printed word, it was a joy to hear it brought to life. The narrator was an integral part of the story . Just after the confrontation with Wickham I paused to realize how well the voices were differentiated.

I stopped the recording when I heard Catherine Bilson was the narrator. I had to know if she was the highly acclaimed Austen author. I own four of her Pride &Prejudice books.

Thought provoking

Revisado: 05-19-19 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Twisting the facts of life to produce new obstacles to love. Will you agree with how they handle their problems. Does Elizabeth ‘s personality change since she is first born ? Is she her mother’s favorite? The author weaves a good tale with her wit and charm. The characters come alive with the voices of Pearl Hewitt. Thank you for the free audible edition it allows me to knit while I listen to the story. My husband enjoys that I can cook and he us not interrupting my reading!

Lady Harriette a true original

Revisado: 05-18-19

Colonel Fitzwilliam has always been a difficult man to find a soul mate. In Lady Harriette he has found a scorching, intelligent, free spirited woman who will always keep him on his toes. How she affects him is so exciting to listen to and wondering what she will do next keeps you on the edge. Confronting the other woman, forgiving your husband for premarital transgressions and dealing with gossip are a few of the obstacles to happiness. This is a novel ,not short story, we are allowed to enjoy the emotional moments. Listening to the novel encompasses your brain in emotions and hearing the different characters voicing their concerns awakens the story. I want to thank P.O.Dixon for sending me the audible version.

Marriage is a journey not destination

Revisado: 05-14-19

“I do” but what comes next? Elizabeth and Darcy truly find out that you must go through the valleys to get to the mountaintop. I was sent this audiobook for free(thank you). I purchased the ebook several years ago. I reread the prequel To Have His Cake to truly enjoy this story but I discovered that was unnecessary because their lives began after the wedding ! To hear no major problems but the natural adjustment of two strong willed souls. Listening to the story helps to remove you from daily life to London and Pemberley traveling back in time.

A Wonder to Hear Darcy and Elizabeth talk to me

Revisado: 05-12-19 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Having purchased my first P.O. Dixon book in 2011, I am a fan! P. O.Dixon makes her stories unique by having different characters express their point of view. Often a twist is introduced to confound the principals. Imagine Anne waiting for Darcy to propose, Darcy assuming he knows what Anne thinks. Elizabeth becoming friends with Anne even though she dislikes her betrothed. What troubles await our friends. I first read Love Will Grow in 2013 on my kindle. I was overjoyed when I received the audiobook from the author.
Pearl Hewitt’s narration brought the characters to life.Mrs. Bennet came into my reading room with her shrill voice, polite manipulations,and her remonstrances made me laugh. Anne deBourgh sounded weak yet their was hope in her voice. Elizabeth laughed, was witty yet at times discouraged. Mr. Darcy was confident, arrogant and then devastated. Although I knew the plot from having reread the novel several times,I was swept up in the tale told by the voices of the characters.

I am excited that Audible has opened their selections to include my P & P variation novels. Having a visual disability due to advanced glaucoma I rely on Books for the Blind. Their library has a limited selection of Variations on Pride and Prejudice which is very understandable.

An adorable knight

Revisado: 11-22-16

I enjoyed the Knight's Quest series. Having already read the series in ebook, I experienced the characters coming alive through the various voices of the narrator. Ben 's joy and delightful imagination reverberates through the stories.
listening to the reaction of the various characters to Ben brought out their true natures. Allowing Lizzie and Jane to disagree, having Mr. Darcy decide between his needs and propriety, showing how ensnaring a man was easy but cruel were just some of the delightful plot twists.

Courtly love

Revisado: 07-05-16

The love story here is love for family. The tragedy is the loss of a child and the long ranging consequences for so many. The narrator' s voice expressed the grief.
Darcy portrayal was within his group of friends and his guard was down. Interesting too is his role of would be suitor who was not good enough.
The author left us wanting more....

Happy Christmas

Revisado: 12-10-15

Listening to Pearl Hewitt voice Ben's words enraptured me. I was disappointed when i heard references to the previous story because although i had read it last year the facts were vague. My solution was to buy the audible book (reduced price since I owned the kindle edition) of He Taught Me to Hope . What a great read oops listen! Pearl made the story come alive. I fell in love with Ben all over again. I especially loved the relationship between Darcy and Ben. This brought the spirit of Christmas to the Darcys and me.
