An Agreeable Compromise

De: Jann Rowland

Narrado por: Harry Frost

Miss Caroline Bingley has long been a thorn in the side of Fitzwilliam Darcy's friendship with Charles Bingley; the visit to Netherfield Park to help Bingley learn the craft of an estate manager has all the potential for disaster. But Darcy will not shirk, for his friendship with Bingley outweighs his distaste for the man's sister. In his defense, Darcy enlists his manservant, a man equally committed to ensure Miss Bingley will not become his master's wife.

What Darcy had not expected was to find a woman in Hertfordshire, a woman he had only dreamed of meeting. Miss Elizabeth Bennet was everything a woman should be—handsome, intelligent, witty, considerate, and possessing the most beautiful eyes Darcy had ever beheld. It was not long before Darcy found himself ensnared in her web, helplessly besotted, knowing she was exactly what he wanted in a wife.

Yet the specter of Miss Bingley's resolve to go to whatever lengths to have her way hung over his overtures to the woman he was rapidly coming to love. In time, Darcy was certain Miss Bingley would make her move, her actions certain to destroy his happiness if she succeeded. Darcy, however, was not without resources, and not without his own determination to do everything he could to thwart her machinations and find his happiness.

Fabulous P&P Variation

Such an unexpected twist! What I lived about this P&P Version is that it was a refreshing new take. There was zero repetition of original plot lines, except how badly Miss Bingley wants to entrap Mr Darcy.

I enjoyed the easy conversations and ease of how the relationships grew. I recommended this variation.

A completely new twist

I LOVED this book, I wish it were longer. I'm so, so happy to see some Jann Rowland books being narrated by Harry Frost finally, I have tried many times, but just can't listen to his usual narrator, so to have HF narrating give me joy. I love his stories, they are always smart stories with great dialogue and unexpected story lines. This is no different - it is set at the same time as canon, but things go a bit different starting at the assembly and it ends in a completely unexpected way. I LOVED Mr. Bennett in this version, he is the version of himself that I always imagine in my head. ODC and Jane and Bingley are as expected, with some fun moments of banter between ODC.

I would definitely recommend this story - the story is great + the narration is great and it's long enough to get a well developed story. Again, I wish it were longer - maybe a longer epilogue with more detail? Anyway - it's worth a credit.

Great reread

This book is so good. So many surprising events. I had a great time reading this book or I should say relistening to a book I read before. Great Jaff

Wow

Loved the twists & turns the author created! Unlike any of the other P&P variations I’ve read.

Beware Caroline is on a mission

This was a cute story. Caroline is on a mission to gain the title of Mrs Darcy. Some of the characters are missing and it makes for a great story.
