Pirates and Prejudice

By: Kara Louise

Narrated by: Tiffany Halla Colonna

After Elizabeth Bennet refuses Mr. Darcy's offer of marriage, it takes a heavy toll on him. He withdraws to London and disappears near the docks, away from family, friends, and acquaintances. When he is mistaken for an escaped pirate, he is thrust into an adventure he would never have imagined. Will this be what he needs to forget the one woman he had come to love?

When her aunt and uncle have to cancel their plans to tour the Lake District, Elizabeth Bennet has the opportunity to sail to the Isles of Scilly with her father. After a pleasant visit, the voyage home brings storms, a shipwreck, and pirates! When she is rescued by gallant Captain Smith, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to him. What will she do when she discovers he is the very man whose offer of marriage she refused just a few months earlier?

What a great story.

Why did I sit on this for so long? I didn’t have to suspend my disbelief for very long. It grabbed me really fast. I loved it, and now it’s going on my repeat playlist. Highly recommended.

A PG Rated Pirate Adventure

Very good narration and an original story. Sweet, not sordid (PG Rated). A couple of good twists, but also predictable in places. A little too tidy and neat in my opinion.

Great adventure and romance

Would you listen to Pirates and Prejudice again? Why?

I'm positive I will. The story is engaging and the narrator was wonderful. I could recognize who was speaking at the moment, just from her interpretation of each character. Great job.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Captain Smith's first mate, Bellows. Such a perfect seaman. And of course D&E.

Which scene was your favorite?

Scenes between Elizabeth and Captain Smith.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely, couldn't put it down.

Any additional comments?

I loved this book, though it was a very non-canon story. D&E were still as we love them, despite unusual circumstances. Darcy was brave, loyal, protective and honorable, Elizabeth was smart, compassionate and brave. The supporting characters added to the story, they were well written and colorful.
Highly recommended.

Okay story, TERRIBLE narration

Who pronounces valet with a T?!? This narrator. Who can turn Elizabeth into a simpering female? This narrator. And who can portray Darcy as a melodramatic weakling? You guessed it, this narrator! She can take a decently wored statement, add 200% drama and voice cracking and turn the character into a crybaby. I hardly recognized Darcy and Elizabeth's characters, they were so weak. Okay, rant over. On to the story...
I thought I'd like the story, as I'd read another book with them falling in love on a ship and it was well written. This book had many good points and adventure, but I REALLY didn't like the characterisation of Darcy from the very beginning. Him going into a depression fit that makes him completely lose himself to the point of becoming like a drunk hobo? Makes him seem weak in character and quite honestly, a sad creature...so very different than the srong man of high convictions and honor that we know him to be and love him for. If you can ignore the main characters being so different than the Darcy and Elizabeth we all know and love, you may enjoy this book. Personally, I think she should have just given them different names and not made it a JAFF book. These characters were so different from the people we know them to be.

Darcy as a Pirate? YES!!

Exciting adventure story. Darcy unwillingly agrees to pretend to be Pirate Captain Lockerly. While in disguise he’s called upon to rescue Elizabeth and her father from real pirates. Elizabeth is no shrinking violet. She keeps her head and even comes up with a plan. The story doesn’t end with the rescue. It goes on with Darcy as himself trying to win Lizzy’s heart. Very romantic HEA. I thought the narrator was great, she has wide range of accents and voices and brought the story to life.
