Acerca de esta escucha
Though Darcy struggles privately with his desire for Elizabeth Bennet, he must still fulfill his roles as landlord, master, brother, and friend.
In Book Two, the "silent time" of Austen's novel, Fitzwilliam Darcy and his personal world emerge as he deals with his servants, including a valet with aspirations of sartorial triumph; his sister, who is only just emerging from a crippling depression; his cousins, the still-squabbling Fitzwilliam brothers; and his hound, Trafalgar, who he calls "Monster" with good reason.
A visit to an old classmate in Oxford designed to shake Elizabeth from his mind sets Darcy amidst husband-hunting society ladies and friends from his university days, all with designs on him...some for good and some for ill. Darcy, and his Shakespeare-quoting valet Fletcher, must match wits with them all, but especially with the mysterious and dangerous Lady Sylvanie.
Setting the story vividly against the colorful, historical, and political background of the Regency, Aidan writes in a style comfortably at home with Jane Austen, but with a wit and humor very much her own. Aidan adds her own cast of fascinating characters to those in Austen's original, weaving a rich tapestry from Darcy's past and present. Austen fans, and newcomers alike, will love this new chapter of the most famous romance of all time.

Elizabeth Bennet dreads encountering Mr. Darcy when she visits Pemberley, for surely, after she spurned his offer of marriage, he must despise her. Yet they do meet, and to her astonishment, he holds no resentment towards her. Regrettably, someone else does. Unbeknownst to Elizabeth, her reintroduction to the master of Pemberley is far from universally welcomed. There are others for whom prejudice is stirred up by the familiarity between Miss Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy.

Austen wrote, 'I am going to take a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like' and thus introduces the handsome, clever, rich - and flawed, Emma Woodhouse. Emma is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage; nothing however delights her more than matchmaking her fellow residents of Highbury. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.

Craving solitude and peace after discovering his sister with George Wickham in Ramsgate, he accepts an invitation to visit Netherfield Park from his friend Charles Bingley and travels to Hertfordshire, where he hopes Georgiana will recover from her disappointment in relative privacy.

But when her godmother asks her to pay a visit to her bachelor grandson in Yorkshire, she goes to see the newly-titled - and notoriously rustic - Duke of Ormond. Trevor Carey doesn't care about what goes on behind ballroom doors. He is content with the simple life - and isn't ashamed to admit it to a society flirt like Lady Isabella.

The Only Cure for Love of a Woman is Another Woman
Volume II covers a period where Darcy was absent from P&P so Ms. Aidon was perfectly free to invent any story she wanted. She went for the castles, intrigues, Stonehenge, high stake cards, fabulously beautiful women including Lady Sylvanie and her strange maid: Doyle, the downfall of a lord, and Darcy's frantic search for a woman who would banish Elizabeth from his heart. Hah! As if that was a possibility!
As you know, Northanger Abbey was Miss Austen's first book and owes something of a debt to Mrs. Ann Radcliffe's Mysteries of Uldopho--I think for the feel of the Abbey in the mind of Miss Catherine Moreland. The heroine of Uldopho faced real trials and dangers while Miss Moreland's were mostly in her imagination. In The Jane Austen Book Club Riggs, who had actually read Uldolpho, when his turn came to host the group, turned his house into a Castle Uldopho gothic horror scene. While Mrs. Radcliffe's style is unusual to our eyes, I think all of Miss Austen's principled, strong women have their genesis in the heroines of Mrs. Radcliffe along with a generous dose from William Makepeace Thackerary .
All the above is prelude. In Volume II, Ms. Aidon presents a Northanger Abbey-Castle Uldopho world with Darcy taking the naive Catherine Moreland role. His rules don't apply here. This is not his world. He is as lost as the inexperienced Miss Moreland was with the machinations of John and Issabella Thorpe in Bath or General Tillme at the Abbey. Nevertheless, like her, his principles with a bit of luck and timely help from Fletcher and Dye pull him through so now we hasten toward the perfect happiness to be found at the end of Volume III.
George Holmes, the narrator, grows on one. In particular, he is perfect for the melodramatic Duty and Desire.

A great counterpoint to Pride and Prejudice
The author does a good job filling in the character of Darcy, weaving in an Upstairs/Downstairs story line about Darcy's butler and keeping it all consistent with the plot of Pride and Prejudice. It drags a little at times, and the reader is really bad at women's voices, but despite those drawbacks this is a very satisfying read for fans of Pride and Prejudice. Head and shoulders above the other Austen spin-off I've read.

Great book, wrong narrator
I love this trilogy and think Pamela Aiden does a great job writing in Austen's style. I really don't like the narrator's interpretation of Darcy, though. The narrator sounds more like a snobbish butler than one of literature's better known romantic heroes. I still enjoyed the audiobook overall - the narrator's voice just annoyed me from time to time.

Another great piece of the Darcy puzzle!!!
If you like Jane Austen's P&P, I can't imagine you won't love this series... If you're obsessed with understanding Darcy and his station in life, this is a great read... I have to say I was only able to get into this series through these audiobooks and in so happy that I did!!!

Poor Choice of Narrator
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Yes, but only in the written format. No one need suffer through such a narration.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Duty and Desire?
When Darcy investigates the mystery regarding Lady Sylvanie.
What didn’t you like about George Holmes’s performance?
His voice, his timing, and his delivery.
Was Duty and Desire worth the listening time?
Yes in that it let me "reread" the book during a car trip. No in that the narration was poor.

Not much about P and P
I was expecting a Pride and Prejudice tie-in similar to the first novel in the series. Other than brief mentions of Elizabeth Bennett and Wickam, this was a period novel with a completely unrelated plot line. In and of itself the story was fine. But as a Darcy novel it was disappointingly not what I was looking for.

This was a slog to get through
Not much about Elizabeth or the Bennets, Mostly about Darcy discovering he has libido, and what to do about it. And gentlemen things. Cats, smoking, drinking, riding, weapons. I would not recommend it. The narration was fine. I do like Fletcher his valet.

wonderful, wonderful fluff
Either the narrator got better for part 2 of this series, or I got used to him.
I found this listen very relaxing. The author lets her imagination wander farther afield from Pride & Prejudice than other P&P homage novelists have done when writing from "other perspectives," but still stays true to Austen's plotline-- for example, Darcy's valet is inserted as a very humourous and wise chap and Georgiana becomes a stronger character. We are also teased with glimmers of the world outside polite gentrified country drawing rooms. And although Darcy sometimes comes across as a love sick puppy, he remains on the surface stoic and strong, so I was able to keep my disbelief suspended. So, from my point of view, this turns out to be almost perfect fluff (at least for a tired English teacher on summer holidays).

I fell in love with Mr. Darcy all over again
This was quite a funny and interesting read. I really enjoyed the addition of the other characters to include the servants. This take from Darcy's point of view makes him more of a sympathetic character. I actually felt bad for him when Elizabeth turned down his proposal, even knowing that he needed the humbling experience to eventually become the man Elizabeth deserved.
Great listen!!
