To Have His Cake (and Eat It Too): Mr. Darcy's Tale by P.O. Dixon ★★★☆☆

Fitzwilliam Darcy, a man of wealth and status, is infatuated with Elizabeth Bennet. Unfortunately, he feels unable to propose due to her vulgar family and lack of both status and fortune.

When disaster befalls her family, Elizabeth is forced to seek employment. Darcy offers her the post of companion to his sister, Georgiana.

Darcy struggles not to act on his attraction to Elizabeth. She is completely unaware, but gradually falls in love with Darcy, despite his irritating, autocratic ways.
Georgiana comes out into society and after a successful Season, becomes engaged.
What will happen when Elizabeth’s job comes to an end?
Will Darcy declare himself or will he let Elizabeth go?

This is an enjoyable variation, but I’m not a big fan of Mr Darcy being portrayed as a rake. He gradually reforms himself but it takes quite some time.

The narrator, Pearl Hewitt does a pretty good job.

I received a free copy of this audiobook via StoryOrigin and am voluntarily leaving a review. All views expressed are my own.
