About the book:

The course of true love never did run smooth. Sometimes, it must circumvent ridiculous relations and troublesome former friends.

Having come to the realization that Miss Elizabeth Bennet is the perfect lady for him, Fitzwilliam Darcy sets a plan to eventually secure her hand in marriage.

Elizabeth is amenable to his proposal, and so begins a courtship that is more of a formality than something which is actually needed to determine if the two lovers wish to pledge forever to each other.

Unfortunately, not everyone is as agreeable that the wedding should take place, and they do their best to cast shadows and present stumbling blocks.

(This book has a prequel called An Accomplished Lady (of the best sort). It can be found in my Teatime Tales collection at this link.)

About the Sweet Possibilities and Extras Collection:

Hallmark-style romance meets Pride and Prejudice in these sweet, kisses-only regency novels. Each of these stories is a stand-alone Darcy and Elizabeth variation, but each of them also has a sequel Mary and the Colonel story that follows them. Those sequels can be found in my Sweet Extras collection.

About the Audiobook:

This story is read by Christopher, an authorized voice replica (AVR) made available by the voice actor, through the Elevenlabs library. While this is a digital narration, the voice actor does receive compensation whenever his voice is used. In other words, offering AVR voices on Elevenlabs is one way that some voice actors have chosen to diversify their income. And I am so glad that Christopher has chosen this option because I quite enjoy listening to him read me my stories. I hope you enjoy his performance as much as I did while getting it ready to share.

Editing of the audio to produce this performance was completed by me, using the Elevenlabs program.

About the book:

By proving his friend wrong, he might just make everything right.

For the better part of an afternoon at Netherfield, Charles Bingley has listened to his sister promote herself to his best friend, Fitzwilliam Darcy. And for the same amount of time, he’s observed his friend trying not to give in to his desire to admire Miss Elizabeth Bennet. When the discussion turns to the qualifications of an accomplished lady, he listens closely and knows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that marrying such a lady would only bring sorrow to his friend.

After the ladies have left the room, he attempts to address the issue in a friendly sort of manor. However, when Darcy goes a step too far in sharing his opinions of the lady Bingley loves, friendly tactics are tossed aside in favour of a more direct and calculated approach.

From Tolerable to Lovely|A Teatime Tales Novelette (Full Audiobook)

Good news! I have completed my accessibility project of adding all my books (that’s 69 titles) to ElevenReader.

So today, I am starting a new audiobook sharing project.

I have shared links to full audiobooks on YouTube a couple of times here already, but I didn’t think to share them here until I had already added several books to YouTube. I want to fix that and get all the YouTube audiobook links added here on my website.

They will be located in the menu option called Audiobooks on YouTube, and there is a dropdown menu under that where you can click on specific series. The plan right now is to add one YouTube link per week until they are all here and easy to access without having to click out to any other place.

This book is available to listen to on YouTube. It is also available as a download with a paid Patreon subscription and is available in some other places as well (see the Audiobooks page on my website at this link).

If you haven’t subscribed to my YouTube channel yet, I’d love it if you would (to help me get monetized) even if you only plan on listening to these stories here.

About the Book:

He’s not looking for a wife, but she just might be too irresistible to let go.

It never fails. No matter where Fitzwilliam Darcy goes, there are always whispers passed from matching-making matron to hopeful debutante about who he is and what fortune he holds. And then, the prowling and scheming to snare him begins. He knows that eventually, he’ll have to marry, but, at present, after the summer he’s had, he’s just not ready.

Therefore, when his friend presses him to dance at the Meryton Assembly, Darcy is desperate to refuse as adamantly as is necessary to avoid partnering any young lady. But then, fate steps in, and Darcy’s disparagement of the dance partner his friend has suggested dies on his lips.

She’s captivating and fascinatingly unusual. In fact, she just might be enchanting enough for him to long to make her what he wasn’t looking for — his wife.

This book is now available to listen to on YouTube. It is also available as a download with a paid Patreon subscription and will soon be available in some other places as well.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

How does a lady mend her brother’s broken heart?

Georgiana Darcy is less than pleased when her brother returns to town before he is expected. However, after greeting him and seeing that he is more morose than when he left, she becomes concerned. Convinced that she knows the reason behind Darcy’s despondency, Georgiana sets out to remedy the problem and present her brother with the best Christmas gift ever — an unbroken heart.

Netherfield sits empty. Mr. Collins has been refused, and Elizabeth Bennet’s mother is suffering from a serious case of nerves. There is only one thing to be done. Elizabeth and her sister must be sent to town in the hopes that one or both might secure a husband.

Tossed into each other’s paths, Darcy and Elizabeth renew their acquaintance and must decide how to proceed. Will Darcy continue to flee from the lady who has stolen his heart? Will Elizabeth be able to decipher Darcy’s true character? Or will both be left lonely and broken-hearted this Christmas?

Two Days before Christmas is the first book in Leenie Brown’s Darcy Family Holidays series. If you like well-written, sweet romance with surprising twists, open-minded heroines, and tender heroes then you’ll love this story where gifts from the heart and love take center stage.

It’s a new release kind of day!

GEt your copy here

Yesterday was the day that this book went live on all retailers. The only places where I’m still waiting to see the book listed are Hoopla (which always takes forever) and Everand.

If you’re a subscription reader, the book is available to read “for free” with your Kobo Plus subscription, and it has been added to the Repository on Patreon for paid members to read.

FYI: There are changes being made to membership things at Patreon. The official reveal of all that will be coming soon, but for now, just know that all paid members have been given access to read this new release and the Teatime Tales prequel as part of their membership benefits. And memberships currently begin at $1 USD.

If you’re a paperback reader, both the large and regular print paperback editions are available on Amazon.

I got my copies of it just a few days ago, and they turned out very pretty. 🙂

How to Marry an Accomplished Lady, just like it’s prequel An Accomplished Lady (of the best sort), is not an angsty book. It’s not supposed to be. It’s more of a romcom — full of entertaining antics and enjoyment. That doesn’t mean that there isn’t anyone trying to stop Darcy from marrying Elizabeth. Oh no, there are a few of those characters, who simply add to the drama that might just drive Darcy to distraction as he moves from determined to ask Elizabeth to marry him, to betrothed, to finally married.

And there are hints at what you might expect in the short sequel to this story, which will be a Mary and the Colonel novelette. (And which I need to get back to writing after the holidays).

If you’d like to see what some of the advance review copy readers are saying about this book, here are a few sound bites from the reviews I’ve gotten via my Booksprout Review Team.

If you haven’t gotten your copy of this book yet then click here to find it at your favourite retailer.

Please feel free to share news of this new release with your friends! You can always tag me on FB (@LeenieBrown) or IG (@leeniebbooks) and I’ll give it a like (as long as Meta lets me know about the tag — you know how social media can be 😉 ).

Have a great weekend! Happy reading!
