Pride and prejudice variation/audible

Another PP variation, yes please!

Darcy thinks Lizzy accepted him and he is over the moon. But at Rosings things happen, Anne is a monster in this one! Damn she is mad. So Darcy takes Lizzy to London to get away. And she has not told him yet. And there is not really time for it as more and more learn that they are engaged. Also, isnt he kind of nice! The more she learns the harder she falls.

But the drama! Ack the drama, well all know things can not last. So we are left with a mad Anne, a upset Darcy and Lizzy just trying.

Danger too. I wanted to scream at them. Wake up!!

I really like this one. They have to fight for it.

Great narration too

A finer punishment does not exist than if I were to accept him. Elizabeth Bennet—shocked, dismayed, and emotional following Mr Darcy’s offensive proposal in Hunsford parsonage—makes a flippant remark to her friend Charlotte Collins. She observes that, given Mr Darcy’s disdain for her family, accepting him would be the worst punishment imaginable for him, for then he would be forever connected to the very people he so despised. She speaks in jest…but Mrs Collins fears she might be serious.

Mr Darcy leaves Hunsford parsonage following his proposal feeling a measure of joy at his beloved’s acceptance of his proposal. Alas, his news is received less than joyously at Rosings Park and he fears Elizabeth might be in some danger. With the help of his cousin, he hurries her out of Kent and to the safety of her relations in London.

Caught in a grave misunderstanding, whereby Mr Darcy thinks she has accepted him, Elizabeth soon finds that Mr Darcy is a vastly different man than she had previously understood him to be. A man that she likes…a man that she might perhaps come to love.

As the days of happy courtship pass in London, the secret of how she really felt the night of his proposal lingers. When the truth comes out, Mr Darcy feels he has been made an object of ridicule, and Elizabeth fears she might have lost him for good.

Audio. Cocktails and chloroform by Kelley Armstrong

Narrated by: Kate Handford

Series: Book 2.5, A Rip Through Time Novella Duo

Release date: 10-21-24

Length:3 hrs and 39 mins

Publisher: K.L.A. Fricke Inc

Categories: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense /Own

I had to check out the novellas too. I also kind of felt it worked well on its own. Yes I have read the two previous books, but there was a nice explanation. But obviously you should start at book 1 because it is so good.

This one takes place under one night as Mallory spies on Alice, the young maid as she disappears into the night and Mallory is sure something is wrong. And then she has a whole adventure as something really sinister is going on.

Drama and danger promised.

But, you call Molotov cocktails Russian?!! Excuse me, we named them after a Russian to kill Russians with them. Because he was an ass. The end.

A short listen too! I love those

For modern-day detective Mallory Atkinson, being trapped in the body of a Victorian housemaid means overcoming endless obstacles. Her current challenge is winning over the suspicious young parlormaid, Alice. Mallory’s plan starts with teaching the girl to make Molotov cocktails, which is a perfectly valid science experiment and not at all a desperate ploy to gain Alice’s attention. Before the lesson can begin, though, Alice receives a letter that has her slipping off in the night. Concerned for her safety—and naturally curious—Mallory follows.

Mallory finds Alice at what seems like a simple dance hall, watching young men and women flirting and whirling in pretty dresses and dapper suit-coats. But nothing here is what is seems, and what starts as a simple surveillance exercise turns into a full-scale spy mission with Mallory’s boss, Dr. Duncan Gray, at her side. Before the evening is done, those Molotov cocktails are probably going to come in handy.

3/3/2026 Which made-up thing do you badly wish was real?

I have been binging on Stargate Sg1 on netflix and that stargate, now that would be cool. To travel across the galaxy to distant planets. Well it is also scary and I would probably die. But in theory it is really cool.

And dragons would be fantastic, but also scary as they would eat people and set fire to things so we would hunt them down

Anything fantastic would be used for the wrong reason in the end...like magic! I want magic
