Resumen del Editor

For Love Apart is a collection of two previously published Pride and Prejudice novellas

Irresistibly Alone by Julie Cooper

UNTIL THE DAY of the Netherfield Ball, Elizabeth Bennet’s greatest concerns are wondering who might partner with her for a dance and the likely ruin of her shoe roses after she stands up with Mr. Collins. A death in the neighbourhood changes everything, including her belief in the benevolence of the father she has always adored. Suddenly, she alone holds the means of salvation for her family’s future. Alas, what is required of her is marriage to a man old enough to be her grandfather.

FITZWILLIAM DARCY REGRETTED insulting the lovely Elizabeth Bennet—but not enough to apologise. After all, raising the hopes of such an ineligible young lady would be improper and unkind. That night at Netherfield, however, he not only discovers Elizabeth’s future is tragically decided, but he begins to see a depth of grace and courage in her that he has never known in another.

The Wallflower by Frances Reynolds

ELIZABETH BENNET and her sister Jane have come to London in the autumn at the invitation of their uncle. Elizabeth, initially delighted by the novelty of new acquaintances and experiences in London, dislikes one proud, conceited, and unfairly handsome Mr Darcy who renders a grievous insult to her at one of their first meetings. Alas, the social downfall of this insult is rapid and severe for Elizabeth.

FITZWILLIAM DARCY regrets his intemperate words and wishes everyone would allow them to be forgot. Alas, with Charles Bingley set on winning Jane Bennet's heart and hand, and his noble uncle eager to further an acquaintance with the Gardiners, he will have to do more than merely wish. He will have to admit that a young lady left sitting without a dance partner may still be very tempting indeed.

Great storytellers

Great narrator paired with two great storytellers. Total delight and way to recommend. Love the two stories in one publication.

Great P&P duology by two excellent authors

It’s wonderful that Quills & Quartos Publishing has released this audiobook duology featuring two excellent Pride and Prejudice variation novellas by two very talented authors, Julie Cooper and Frances Reynolds, and narrated by the best of narrators, Stevie Zimmerman. Her narration and performance is always stellar and never ever disappoints.


Irresistably Alone, written by Julie Cooper
This book is everything a Pride and Prejudice variation should be. Julie Cooper, in this unputdownable novella, has written a perfect love story in the truest sense of those words. Oh my, I wish I could give it ten stars.

The Wallflower, written by Frances Reynolds
In this dual Elizabeth/Darcy POV novella-length book, Frances Reynolds cleverly lets us see just what each of them is feeling or thinking as the plot unfolds. ‘The Wallflower’ is a very satisfying read and is well written and edited. I highly recommend it.

Two stories in one WONDERFUL audiobook

I thought I wrote a review when I finished this book a month ago but guess it didn't go through. First off, this is two different stories written by two authors (Julie Cooper & Frances Reynolds). I have both of these books (one in physical & the other in ebook format). I enjoyed both prior to the audiobook's release. I liked "The Walflower" but I was more emotional with "Irresistibly Alone" by Julie Cooper. This audiobook narrated by Stevie Zimmerman took both stories up to a higher level - Thank you Stevie for the phenomenal performance!!! You can read the description given for each story so I dont have to share more about that. Both are relatively shorter stories but dont let that stop you from taking the time to listen to this audiobook (or read the books if you dont do audio). I love both stories even more especially "Irresistibly Alone"! This story alone is worth the audiobook.

Lovely

I really liked these two Novelas when they were first published, and the audiobooks really add life to them. Thank you, Stevie Zimmerman, for two more fine performances.

short and sweet

I liked the first book better than the second book. Darcy was very nice in the first book and he made the Folly so comfy for Elizabeth. I wanted to visit the Folly too. Stevie Zimmerman was very good as usual.
