Resumen del Editor

Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy has a secret. The letter he presented to Miss Elizabeth Bennet after his ghastly proposal is not the only epistle he has written her. In this tale of longing, misadventure, and love, Jane Austen’s dearly loved Pride and Prejudice, is readapted as our hero has learned a powerful way of coping with his attraction to Miss Bennet. He writes her letters. The misguided suitor has declared himself, and Elizabeth Bennet has refused him, most painfully. Without ever intending for these letters to become known to any soul, Mr. Darcy relies on his secret for coping once again. However, these letters, should they land in the wrong hands, could amount to untold scandal, embarrassment, and possibly heartbreak. But what would happen should they fall into the right hands?

All Time Favorite.

All of this author’s stories are absolute favorites. This narrator, Brady Smith i awesome. Wonderful voice.

In this story Darcy starts writing letters to Elizabeth the night they first meet. Which doesn’t go well at all. But his letters are more of a cathartic release of longing for the woman who captivates him yet he cannot have. They are more diary than letters, and never to be sent by the writer. Oh gosh Boy, you got it bad.

The story takes most of its beginning from canon, until Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam find Elizabeth stranded at a coaching inn along with Maria Lucas after the coach leaves them behind. Elizabeth is convinced to allow them to take the ladies to London.

Darcy tells his cousin and sister about Elizabeth but having been so badly rejected he’s convinced he can’t ever approach her again. But he keeps writing those letters.

Yes, they get sent. And Elizabeth reads them, and falls hard herself. Whew!! She doesn’t see him until the Gardiners tour Derbyshire but this time when they meet at Pemberley her answer is YES before he even finishes asking.

The whole letter theme is so cute all the way through to the very end. Wonderfully romantic.

It’s a favorite re-listen now and before I had the audio it was a favorite reread. Highly recommended.

Lovely story! Audiobook needs Re-edited

I love this story! (Yours Forevermore). But the two sections/ chapters containing a completely separate storyline need to be removed as they are incredibly confusing to the listener. I was shocked at the abrupt transition until I realized it was an editing error and that the sections I’m referring to were not meant to be a part of this audiobook! I would like to know what book they are a part of???

Very classy execution

I hesitated, because it could have been so cheesy and cringy, but instead it was amazing. Story, writing, and execution were all exquisite.

Great story - fix playback issues

I love this story and the performance is great. However chapters 3 and 12 are from a different story. Thankfully neither missing chapter causes you to lose the plot, but it would be great if Audible could fix these errors.

Edited, and wonderful.

previous reviews mentioned errors in editing -- it is edited now. I loved that this story dwelt so much on the relationship, with the side stories truly on the side. it felt very indulgent to focus so much on the tumolt of feelings. The narration was good, too. well done all around.

Loved it!

This story was so emotional. Once I started listening, I couldn't stop until it was finished.

Messed Up Chapters

This is a great story with awesome writer, as well as narrator. However, please fix the messed up editing where another book has been all of a sudden inserted, e.g. chapter 3. I had to refer to the Kindle book to sort it out.

Excellent P&P variation

Another wonderful variation from Mackrory. This was well written and delightful. It had a good balance of angst and humor. A couple of twists and a HEA. What more could you want. Smith does a great job of narrating. Although Elizabeth's voice took a little getting used to, it wasn't long before I forgot who's reading it and simply enjoyed the story.

Worth reading more than once. Spend the credit

This book held my attention from beginning to end. The narrator though very good didn't keep to the speech of the time period but otherwise well done. As in the orginal P&P it will take you up and down with a few surprises along the way. loved cousin Ann's contributions. Col. R F brought his love, insights and humor to the mix. Good read. This is a sweet book that you will not have to set down do to embarrassing topics.
