Publisher's summary

The moment he saw her at the assembly in Meryton, he knew he loved her.

When Fitzwilliam Darcy meets Elizabeth bennet in the fateful autumn of 1811, their mutual infatuation is immediate and undeniable. Within months, they are married and spend a blissful winter at Pemberley, falling more deeply in love with each other than either might have imagined possible. But spring in London proves more challenging to them. Accident and artifice join to devastating effect for the young couple, destroying their felicity and creating an outcome neither might have imagined.

Two years later, happenstance reunites them. Sorrow and anger have built walls between them but the love they once shared still remains. Will it be enough to conquer the sins of the past? Is the love they still hold within them strong enough to prevail over the anger and mistrust that tore them apart?

Loved it

I loved this story! Needed a box of tissues, though. Lots of angst! Will be re-listening to this one.

Really enjoyed the story line

I stayed fully entertained in the whole book.
Enjoyed the ending very much. It made the story line complete.

Bravo!

Re-read over and over...loved it in every way. Also, Ms. Zimmerman is SUPERB! I look forward for more!

Stick with it. Worth it all!

Amy D'Orazio either writes stories that make me snort my drink from laughter, or bring tears to my eyes. This is the latter. ODC do get their HEA, but it is hard earned.

Love at first sight unfortunately turns sour due to the actions of a completely evil (imagined) love rival, and unreasonable jealousy. Darcy refuses to talk at first, then later it is Elizabeth's turn to be stubborn. Frustrating and heartbreaking with a few moments of slight happiness which eventually turn to an astounding reckoning that finally is the catalyst to happiness.

This is a tough story to listen to, but stick with it. The troublemakers get their just desserts and there is much happiness by the end. I was both happy when the story ended, and sad that it was over. I have listened to it a couple times and it touches me the same each time.

Stevie Zimmerman is, of course, excellent as ever.

10 STARS!

I cannot convey in words the emotions I felt listening to this story. It seemed I was in tears more than I was not. Very rarely has a story pulled me in so completely. Ms. Amy is such a wonderful storyteller. And Stevie Zimmerman is the only narrator who could have told such an amazingly emotional tale. I strongly recommend!

Absolutely Wonderful!

I had read this book on Kindle and as with all Ms D’Orazio’s books enjoyed it immensely. She is on my list of favorite authors. This Audible version was wonderful. Ms Zimmerman did a great narration. She is on my list of favorite Narrators. I can’t recommend it highly enough and look forward to more in the future.

Great read

Stevie Zimmerman always does a great job with the readings. The story itself is so full of true emotion. You truly fell the depth of Elizabeth’s pain. Wonderfully written and has real reactions not just fairly tail happy endings.

emotionally complex

good story! excellent narration as always with Stevie Zimmerman. I'd recommend it. I could do without the graphic sex.

Tough, but very good

The sheetlr injustice of Darcy wrinkles quite a bit, but it is a very well written story. I'd recommend it.

Wow!!!!!

I am agog with this quite evocative dramatic tale of love, hate, betrayal and forgiveness. Elizabeth is so formidable in this story. If put in the same position, I do not think would have been able to endure half as much. With so much to overcome, I was genuinely astonished but quite agreeably so that ODC was able to get their HEA.
