As far as Fitzwilliam Darcy is concerned, the only good thing to come of Elizabeth Bennet’s bitter refusal of his heart and his hand was his new resolve to prove himself a better man. He’d done it, too, by closing the painful distance between himself and his estranged younger brother, Drew. And now Drew is newly engaged to be married…to Elizabeth Bennet. Family duty forces Darcy to support the engagement, especially since even the smallest hint of disapproval could ruin the brothers’ hard-won reconciliation. But how can he bear to watch his brother marry the woman he loves?

Story
“Mr Darcy, I am eager to hear your explanation for the fact that quite a few people believe we are engaged.” It starts with a bit of well-meant advice. Colonel Fitzwilliam suggests to his cousin Darcy that, before he proposes to Elizabeth Bennet in Kent, perhaps he ought to discuss his plans with their families first. What neither man could have predicted however was that Lord Matlock would write the news to his sister, or that Viscount Saye would overhear and tell his friends, or that his friends might slip a little and let their friends know as well.

In this fast-paced novella set in regency England, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy has competition for the hand of the only woman he will ever love. Making a poor first impression, he had no idea how far out of the hole he needed to dig himself until she could view him as anything other than arrogant and unworthy. Miss Elizabeth Bennet loathed Mr. Darcy. His selfish disdain for the feelings of others, including herself, made him the last man on earth she would ever marry. Of course, she felt the same about his competition. Will Darcy and Elizabeth ever obtain the happily-ever-after they desire?

Story
The simple truth is proven that sometimes a gentleman never knows his heart until a lady comes along to introduce it to him. When Mr. Darcy encounters Elizabeth Bennet injured after a fall, his concern for her welfare cracks the shell of his carefully guarded heart, and a charming man emerges. Elizabeth sees an appealing side of him she never believed possible from the stoic, proud master of Pemberley.
Publisher's Summary
Elizabeth Bennet's girlish dreams of love and romance are shattered. Her father has decided she will be the one to secure her family's future through a marriage of convenience to his heir. Disappointment and sadness weigh on her soul when she travels with her aunt and uncle - a consolation before she submits to duty. When she sees the reflection of her heartbreak in the face of an unknown young lady, Elizabeth reaches out to the girl, extending a hopeful outlook she herself has been denied.
Mr. Darcy regrets missing the opportunity to know the pretty stranger who helped his grieving younger sister rise above her sadness. Hope keeps him seeking her face in every crowd. As time passes it seems the woman he admires might be an ephemeral dream born of his heart's desire. Darcy finally finds her when he is forced to visit his friend, Mr. Bingley, but is she already taken? Can he restore hope to this woman he barely knows? Will she let him?
Based on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, this novella, Yes, Mr. Darcy, is a sweet historical romance from best-selling author J. Dawn King.

Excellent from start to finish
J Dawn King is a master at writing P&P Variations. Reading or listening to King's books is a pleasure for readers who want a great story delivered straight to the mind and heart of the reader. The narrator's voice was fine after I got used to it. She did a good job with character voices. She imparted emotion and meaning by modulating her tone to fit the dialog and narrative very well. This was an excellent story when I read it and listening to it brought it to life!

I love it!
I love it. my favorite part was when Darcy confronted his aunt. what I didn't like is how Elizabeth's father Bartered her off just so he and his wife and children can have a better life without considering her feelings. the narrator was good at least to me she was.

Weakish story not helped by weaker narration
Having just finished J Dawn King's later novel, THE ABOMINABLE MR DARCY, which I found quite enjoyable for the most part, I find myself quite disappointing ed in Ms. King's early novella.
YES, MR DARCY should only be approached if the reader has a thorough knowledge of Austen's PRIDE AND PREJUDICE and even many of the current oeuvre of variations et al since King both truncates the basic plot and adjusts the starting timeline so that Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy now first encounter each other in a graveyard in the Derbyshire town of Lambton where Elizabeth is consoling a very distraught young lady who just happens to be Darcy's little sister, Georgiana, and who upon encountering the stranger Elizabeth decides to share a scandalous secret that has the power to ruin her for her life and her family for a generation!
Everything else that occurs in this novella derives from this nearly illogical prologue. Oh, I almost forgot this little opening's finale -- after counseling the younger girl in this new scene I wish the author had extended, a worried Darcy arrives. He'd been looking all over for his sister and overhears Georgiana confess that her brother must hate her for her transgression. When unbidden Darcy appears and takes his sister in his arms to console and comfort her, Elizabeth decides this would be an ideal moment to simply disappear!!! No warning, no introductions, no reiteration that she will not break the younger girl's confidence. And Darcy's response to Elizabeth's precipitous flight is not anxiety about what she might do with this volatile information but instead only intense desire to meet his sister's mystery confessor!
The remainder of this story occurs in the typical location and setting of the Bennet Hertfordshire household in early autumn and while the narrator performs adequately more often than not (2+ ⭐️ only), the one dimensionality of her voices and a burgeoning melodramatic tone in all the dialogue between Elizabeth and Darcy renders the last hour into a singular smaltz-athon! Just add violin accompaniment.
Unfortunately, this book is one I plan to return.

Disappointing
I am truly disappointed in this book. Mr. Darcy was turned into a character I started disliking immediately. He was so sappy! Not a strong storyline and the people I have grown to love I hated in this story. Stop taking our favorite two characters and bringing them into today's world of feelings and softness. Real men are hard to find except in great books. Let's keep it that way!!!!

Full of Sweet Moments
Elizabeth is taking one last trip with her Aunt and Uncle Gardiner before her arranged marriage to Mr. Collins takes place. When she comes across a distraught young girl in a graveyard, she can't help but offer comfort to another miserable soul. Mr. Darcy overhears her gentle words of wisdom to his sister but before he can speak to Elizabeth, she disappears. Darcy spends the next several months searching for her and finally discovers her in Hertfordshire at the Meryton assembly.
This was a quick listen at almost three hours, easy enough to listen to in one sitting. If you're looking for a cute read with plenty of sweet interaction and conversation between Lizzy and Darcy, this is a good choice. If you're a purist looking for an adaption that is faithful to the characters, this one veers from canon. I know in a book with no Wickham and Lydia drama, there needs to be another antagonist, but I was sorry to see it was Mr. Bennet. I love Mr. Bennet in the original, I love his sarcastic wit and his obvious love for his daughters. He was self-aware enough to mock himself. He loved Lizzy enough to threaten to not speak to her if she married Mr. Collins, and made sure Lizzy actually wanted to marry Darcy. This Mr. Bennet doesn't deserve Lizzy's love or respect. He's forcing Lizzy to marry Mr. Collins for his own comfort, he's selfish, arrogant, and rude to Darcy. Mrs. Bennet is also very different from canon, she physically manhandles Lizzy and constantly disparages her. Lizzy describes Mrs. Bennet as living day to day with no thought to the future, which is a very strange way to describe the husband-hunting mamma! These changes didn't detract from my enjoyment of the story, but I did go back and reread my favorite parts of the original to reassure myself that Mr. Bennet was still his sly witty self.
The interactions between Lizzy and Darcy were lovely and were the real star of the story, as they should be. Their relationship was low angst and developed quickly with plenty of sweet moments. I loved the epilogue. The narration was done well, with different voices for each character and a lovely accent. I'd recommend this to Austen fan fiction fans!
