Publisher's summary

Sophie Johnson is young, intelligent, and attractive. So when she lands the dream position of sales executive at a leading fashion magazine, it appears she has it all. But in reality, she hates her job, is sick of her controlling mother, and is a dating disaster. Then she discovers The Jane Austen Dating Agency, an exclusive club for ladies who want to meet real gentlemen, and believes her luck has changed. And when Sophie meets Darcy Drummond, she thinks her dreams have come true - that is, until she discovers he is arrogant and hard-headed.

So when Daniel Becks steps into her life, she thinks she's found the one. But is he really all he seems?

The Jane Austen Dating Agency is for anyone who has ever dreamed of romance and wondered if it really exists.

Lots of fun

I enjoyed listening to this book. The author's descriptions of contemporary life and things from Jane Austen's time were very well done. I had lots of fun with Sophie and her friends. I'd enjoy having Sophie as a friend. I think we'd get along since I love to read. I'm a sucker for the "you'll never be one of them" drama.
The narrator's voice got on my nerves, so my rating is lower. That's just my opinion. Other people might like her voice better.

Wholly annoying

This story seemed to rub me the wrong way, at every corner. Pretty quickly, I realized that although Sophie is offended by the judgmental attitudes of the agency lady and her own coworkers, she has no problem ridiculing Rob the Geek (well before he reveals himself to be dreadful in ways completely unrelated to being a geek). Does the author realize that Star Trek fans will also read this book? And be stung by the continual ridicule?

She also refers to a man of 35 as “an older guy.” Seriously?

If you’ve read Austen (or even watched Bridget Jones), much of the plot will be familiar and predictable. Even some of the names (such as Daniel and Darcy) are the same.

The narrator is pretty awful, especially her voices for men. In particular, how she depicts a gay man is forcefully overdone.

All in all, I kept waiting for this story to redeem itself, but it clung to being dissatisfying until the very end.

Repeat P&P

If you want to relive P&P in annoying, modern scenario that mirrors the exact same situations Jane Austin's charcheters did then by all means listen.. I felt spoon fed the obvious modern characters connect to the original JA's characters.
