Resumen del Editor

All Miss Elizabeth has left is her pride...

After Mr. Bennet's death, Elizabeth Bennet is cast out of Longbourn. Escaping a one way trip to a brothel, Elizabeth finds work at an inn and is stumbled upon by Mr. Darcy. She angrily leaves for London on his charity but gossip has a way of finding a sympathetic ear, and Elizabeth will find that outrunning disaster isn’t as simple as outwitting a suitor…

At last, Elizabeth is his … until his domineering aunt causes trouble. Mr. Darcy can finally claim the rights of the marriage bed, uninterrupted. That is, until someone in the servants’ quarters at Pemberley decides to make Elizabeth as miserable as possible.

On the verge of happiness everlasting , a worried Mr. Darcy questions the local physician about a marital relations issue… and when odd happenings targeting Elizabeth continue at Pemberley, Mr. Darcy must decide between his past or his future… or lose Elizabeth forever.

This sensual, intimate and mature Pride and Prejudice variation is 96,000 words and features enemies to lovers, a ball, a wedding, a sewing circle, Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth Bennet, Mrs. Reynolds, the Gardiners, Caroline Bingley, Mr. Bingley and Jane Bennet, Mrs. Philips, Mary Bennet, Kitty Bennet, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Col. Fitzwilliam, Mrs. Bennet, Netherfield, Meryton, London, Pemberley and the Lambton Women's Circle for the Less Fortunate.

Definitely not the worst.

So this AI reading is better than expected, but it consistently stumbles of the word "agape", pronouncing it "ah-gah-pee", which becomes quite funny by the 3rd time. The story bends some characteristics of established characters, such as making Charlotte callous towards the Bennett's plight, Elizabeth is less than prudent in several major decisions, and Darcy is more amorous than is totally practical. It's not filthy, but quite suggestive to the halfway point.

AG A PEE???!!!

Oh come on!! The Virtual Voice repeatedly pronounced agape (I. e. mouth open in astonishment) as ag a pee. The first time I had to figure out what the heck it was trying to say, after that it was just laughable. Several other words from the JAFF world are abused as well. Rosings becomes Rossings, pelisse is pronounced pelliss, senight (a week) is pronounced scene-ite and so on.

The story is spicy, Miss Austen would be scandalized, 🤣 so 18+.

The premise is good with Elizabeth becoming destitute after Mr. Bennet’s demise. Her circumstances lead Darcy to try to save her, but bungling it initially and there are questions about the Bennet Daughters reputation. This set of events lead to a good story that would have been sellable with a human narrator that can think beyond programming (unless you are hoping that SKYNET will be satisfied with narrating JAFF in the future. Picture the Terminator as Mr. Darcy 🤣)
