VOLUME TWO of The Bennet Gang Duology: Gentlemen of Honor

Elizabeth Bennet is giving up her secret life as a highwayman in favor of her next great adventure...being courted by Fitzwilliam Darcy. But when new guests arrive at Netherfield Park, they bring danger and tumult with them. Can Elizabeth and her sisters contend with the evil Hargreaves while still successfully navigating matters of the heart, or will they be forced to choose between love, honor, and family?

Fitzwilliam Darcy is enamored with Miss Elizabeth Bennet. Unfortunately, making her mistress of his beloved estate, Pemberley, would require embracing a scandal that could ruin the Darcy name. If he could make her see that she must give up her mad ways, she could be his. That is their only recourse, their single path to happiness, because it couldn't possibly be the case that he needs to change.

Gentlemen of Honor is the high-stakes conclusion to The Bennet Gang Duology. This fast-paced, action-filled Pride and Prejudice Variation finds your favorite characters faced with all new reasons to be uncertain in love. If you take delight in Summer Hanford's distinct, entertaining tales, enjoy Gentlemen of Honor today.

Never a dull moment.

I’ve just finished the audiobooks for Summer Hanford’s Bennet Gang duology—Dishonorable Gentlemen and Gentlemen of Honor—and I really enjoyed them (they are not standalone). This variation takes things in a completely different direction from what one might expect. Mrs. Bennet—now Mrs. Oakwood—having been widowed twice, lives with her five daughters from her first marriage and her two young sons, Thomas and Matthew, born to her second husband, the late General Arthur Oakwood, who provided well for them.

Elizabeth, Jane, and Mary were well trained to ride and defend themselves by their stepfather, and they secretly operate as the “Boney Bandits”—masked, French-accented highwaymen who rob wealthy travelers and give the money to people who need it. They do this because of corrupt locals, led by the awful Mr. Collins, who is the master of Longbourn and the magistrate. It’s Robin Hood with a Regency twist, mixed with romance and danger.

Darcy and Bingley get robbed early on. From there, plenty of action by the three elder sisters will keep you listening. Elizabeth clearly is the leader, but I loved the strong Jane and Mary portrayals. Lydia is the biggest surprise—she’s sharp, brave, and actually helpful.

In the second book, the general’s hidden family connections, which he had kept secret to shield his new family, inadvertently place the boys in danger. This threat compels the sisters to draw upon their skills to protect their younger brothers. Don’t worry—there’s definitely some romance in the story.

Narration-wise, Benjamin Fife and Carol Beth Anderson are excellent. They handle the voices well, keep the energy up during the exciting parts, and make everything easy to follow. Rosy Fife (Benjamin’s teenage daughter) narrates Lydia’s POV throughout the story. She’s American, doing a British accent, and for a young person’s debut, she’s quite impressive—she clearly has talent and potential. That said, I found her pacing quite fast at times, and some words tended to run together, which made me rewind a couple of times to re-listen to what was said. Still, it’s a strong first effort. Brava Rosy—keep working to improve your craft.

Gripping and Fast Paced

You need to listen to the very enjoyable book 1 before you begin this story. It’s action packed and very exciting. Lizzy and Lydia are the main characters in this book. Lydia is not a brat but smart and helpful and steps up when her younger brothers are threatened. Lizzy and Darcy’s romance has a rocky road but Darcy finally comes through in the end.

Story is great narration is distracting at best

I have been so anxiously awaiting the release of this book and am so disappointed. I don't think I can make it through the audible version - I think I need to return and purchase the book. I am so sorry to say this, because I love Benjamin Fife and I respect that he is encouraging his daughter to get into the business, but this was not the appropriate book for that to happen. I know Lydia is a 16yo and much of the book is from her perspective, but all of those sections that are also contain content from 45yo women, and 30yo men, 20-something women and lots of other characters - having a reader with the voice of a child was a terrible choice here. I'm sure that she has a bright future, but she should be reading children's books, not adult novels that people are paying for. The pacing is too fast, the words all blend together and I'm not sure if it's just the speed, but it feels like there is a lisp that makes it hard to understand much of the phrasing. I really hate that I am having to review this so harshly, but I paid good money for this book and I am REALLY struggling to get through it.

The story is great, but i would definitely go with purchasing the kindle book on this one.
