Resumen del Editor

When secrets are revealed and a family agenda works against him, can Fitzwilliam Darcy recover his damaged spirits and find happiness?

Following his disastrous proposal to Elizabeth Bennet, Fitzwilliam Darcy returns to London from Kent, broken-hearted and dejected. One bright spot penetrates his sea of despair: His sister, Georgiana, has finally recovered her spirits from the grievous events at Ramsgate the previous summer. She has forged a new friendship with Miss Hester Drake, a lady who appears to be an ideal friend. In fact, Lady Matlock believes Miss Drake is Darcy’s perfect match.

Upon Elizabeth’s arrival at the Gardiners’ home from Kent, she finds that her sister Jane remains despondent over her abandonment by Mr. Bingley. But Elizabeth has information that might bring them together. She convinces her uncle Gardiner to write a letter to Mr. Bingley, providing key facts supplied to her by Mr. Darcy.

When Bingley discovers that his friend and sisters colluded to keep Jane’s presence in London from him, how will he respond? Given the chance, will Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth overcome their past misunderstandings? What will Darcy do when his beloved sister becomes a hindrance towards winning the lady he loves?

The narrator is amazing!

I liked it a lot. I did think there was too much focus on the other characters and that this Mr. Darcy is too insecure now.

Fun new take on P & P

Loved the new angle with familiar characters. The narrator did a wonderful job of giving each character a unique voice. Highly recommend for a good summer read at the beach, lake or mountains.

Enchanting story!

Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett's relationship is once again on shaky ground in Author Miller's enchanting Pride and Prejudice variation tale. We're whisked back in time in this romantic take, this time with a twist from Jane Austin's original story, but oh, what better way to reminisce and visit with some beloved characters! In this clever variation, we see a new set of details emerge that are sure to add to the sometimes misfired communications between Darcy and Lizzy. This time adding fuel to the fires is Darcy's sister, Georgiana, an innocent still embarrassed by an almost scandalous situation with Mr. Wickham the previous summer. She confides family secrets to her new friend, Miss Hester Drake, who gives her advice that could be construed as somewhat questionable. Is she using the friendship with the innocent sister for a more cagey intent? Emotions and feelings ebb and flow as gossipy undercurrents are unleashed--will the truth emerge before Darcy and Elizabeth's sparks of romance are swept away? This is my second book from Author Miller that reunites us with characters from this classic tale and it does not disappoint! We're given a chance to better know them as they weave through their latest romantic entanglements. Audio book narrator, Stevie Zimmerman, does an excellent reading of Author Miller's story, her narration laced with the excitement and sometimes forlorn moments in the tale. If you're a fan of the original Pride and Prejudice, you will love this one--highly recommended!

Kelly rocks it again

These books by Kelly Miller are so much fun. This was my first audio book for something austenien? Fun to hear the old style speech and attitudes out loud. Stevie did and am I g job!thanks to both!

Sweet Story

I enjoyed this variation; however I was a tad bit frustrated with Georgiana that she would believe that Elizabeth would go into confidence with Hester on their first meeting. I guess the author was trying to demonstrate Georgiana's naivety. She appeared stupid to me.

Other than that I enjoyed the story.

Excellent

Not your usual pride and prejudice . Lots and lots of Twist and turns And of course the usualAnd of course the usual misunderstandings That Darcy And Elizabeth Are so good at. Especially enjoyed the Roll Of Georgie Anna. Great story that held me wondering what more could go wrong for our two beloved characters.

A new villain

This was a very good story. Of course, any time Stevie Zimmerman narrates, it makes it even better. There is a new villain and a old foe has a surprise.

Excellent!

This is the second book I’ve listened to by this author and narrator. Both the story and the narration are excellent! I highly recommend. ❤️❤️❤️

Stevie Zimmerman fan

Narrator was fantastic as always. The story as a crazed pride and prejudice variation fan that I am, I don’t know why but it did take me out of the story a little bit when Mr. Gardiner wrote that letter for Lizzie. But other than that good read and if you need to fix this is a good one

Great P&P Variation

I've been on a P&P variation streak recently, of the 10 or more I've listened to in the past couple months, this one ranks quite high. It picks up after "the misunderstanding" and weaves a completely new story from then on. What I like about this story is that the characters remain true to their intended nature, unlike some variations where you don't even recognize their personalities. What you really get to experience in this version is their inner struggles, strengths, insecurities and growth. I also like that this story has a completely new villian and has some surprise endings for a couple characters.

I would definitely recommend this story if you enjoy PPV's with the classic witty banter and character development plus super sweet moment between our favorite characters.
