Narrado por: Brady Smith

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.

Oh so beautiful!

This Darcy is my very favorite. He was so so DARCY! The struggles he endured for Elizabeth after his talk with Anne was heartbreaking. He tried so hard to think of her comfort, that he totally missed her deeping feelings for him. I usually do not like angst, but this was wonderfully beautiful.
The only thing that truly troubled me was Lydia's elopement. They couldn't have married in London, not even with a special license. In cannon she was 15. It would have been impossible for her to marry in England without her father's permission. Why they had to elope in the first place didn't make any sense.

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.

that was sweet

it wasn't the exciting story I normally get from these types of stories but it was very enjoyable and I wouldn't mind listening again when I'm in need of something more placid and relaxing. I wish we'd gotten to hear all the letters but the ones we did hear got the point across. Darcy definitely had a major, MAJOR thing for Elizabeth early on which was funny. poor Denny! he tried, little cupcake that he is. I can't lie, I laughed at the poor guy so hard!

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.

Enjoyable

I listened to the audio version of this book and enjoyed doing so. I enjoyed the letters aspect of the story and couldn't wait to see how they would end up in Lizzy's hands. It took a long time to get them there. There was some repetition in the story that could have been pared down but overall, I enjoyed listening to it.
