Rain and Retribution

loved it,I really loved the storyline.
Great listen
This was a great twist 👌

I enjoyed this variation of P&P

I loved that the whole of the book was during their marriage. I didn't like Jane's attitude towards E. I do like that Bingley didn't end up with Jane due to her change in character and who would want to live with Caroline as a sister.
I understood the role Georgiana had to play but I didn't like what happened to her in the end.
The narrator was okay to listen to but many times you couldn't tell who was speaking.
I like it when a narrator has different inflection in for each character.
This is a good variation.

I listen to this at least twice a year

This is an all time favorite. I can’t begin to convey how much I love this book. Darcy rescues Elizabeth from being stranded by the roadside in the pouring rain She’s running away from despicable circumstances at home. Darcy and Elizabeth talk in the carriage and she learns the truth about Wickham. She falls ill. They are stranded at an inn because of the rain. Another rescue by Darcy nursing her back to health. He proposes marriage. She accepts. The rest is surprise after surprise as they deal with family. But the romance and love is all.

Highly recommended.

A JAFF Favourite

I loved this book, which I’ve read multiple times and looked forward to an audiobook. The performance of Alexandra Lee Smith is very good. On the technical end, there is some audio noise between chapters or long pauses which is a bit off putting.

Surprised but loved it

Is this story showed a side Of Mr. Bennett And Georgianna Darcy But I have yet to see Or even Jane for that matter. I loved the story line and how they got together But waiting to see what Georgiana would do kept me on the edge of my seat. I did not have a problem with the narrator at all I actually found it soothing. I highly recommend this

Darcy saves Elizabeth

In a downpour Darcy saves Elizabeth as she flees her home from an unwanted marriage. What happens after makes to couple stronger as they deal with their families and their problems.
The narrator was great. The story came to life. I hope there are more of the authors books in audible form.

I like variations in content as well as conversations

I like variations in content as well as conversations Such as the marriage proposal and the carriage scene. Try other situations.

Wonderful Variation

This was a wonderful variation with interesting changes to the story. Elizabeth and Darcy were both great characters. Jane and Georgiana were very different. I liked some of the new characters added to the story. This had everything anyone could want in a story.

Needs to be Re-recorded but……

When I listen to JAFF (or the original P&P) those with the G or even PG rating of the original have me picturing Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy, while PG-13+ or even R rated stories have me picturing Matthew McFadden walking through a morning misty field field toward Keira Knightly (sigh!). This one is a Matthew book!!

It’s a very good tale, with a good twist, so it is just a SHAME that the recording is so very poor. When writing this review, I remember that more than the story.

Full disclosure, I prefer Stevie Zimmerman (check any of my other reviews), but I enjoy other narrators as well. This narrator may have been less distracting if I couldn’t hear so much background noise. Aside from occasionally hearing swallowing or hungry stomach sounds, there was an occasional buzz that sounded like it was recorded near a small regional airfield with small single engine planes landing. Once I even heard a dog barking.

Come on Audible!!!!

Absolutely lovely story

I loved this story all the way from the beginning to the end. Well written and a great narrator. Great Jaff.
