Hateful Wickham

Wickham is planning to kill Mr Darcy. Elizabeth is out walking, during a tour with her aunt and an uncle, and oversees Wickham hiding with a gun. Great Jaff

If Elizabeth HAD To Marry Darcy

What a delightful P&P variation this was. A sequence of events requires that Elizabeth marry Darcy early in this story. It’s an enjoyable listen with characters we love, and unexpected outcomes.

The narration is excellent.

A very bad Wickham.

In this multi-trope plot, Elizabeth is terribly injured trying to save Darcy from a vicious scheme by Wickham, who narrowly escapes to torment him yet another day. Darcy rescues Elizabeth but, they are compromised in the process and must marry.

An excellent performance by Benjamin Fife. Really enjoyed it and highly recommend.

Characters are fun

It’s story is interesting but the female voice performance is terrible for the most part

Original and excellently crafted

I read this book when it first came out and was thrilled to hear it was going to be an audiobook. Even more so when I learned it was going to be narrated by one of my favorite narrators.

Except for the premise, and the beginning of the story, I had nearly forgotten all the details of the rest of the book. All the angst and all the drama and excitement was new to me again. I love this story. This writing team is superb.

Circumstances following Elizabeth’s fall down a ravine when she sacrificed herself to save the stranger approaching the bridge where she spied a gunman aiming at the coach, led to a forced marriage between Darcy (the intended victim) and Elizabeth the hapless heroine pushed down by the killer and severely injured. No one knew who she was and Darcy couldn’t abandon her when the inn he took her to had no one to help her.

Even though she saved him, and ultimately saved Georgiana’s life, Darcy was appalled by her low connections and even with her as he repeatedly made the wrong conclusion about her intelligence and abilities. He was a really big idiot for the longest time. And understandingly drove a huge wedge between them. He was agonizingly slow to recognize her wonderful qualities, which was really fun to watch. There’s a lot of getting into his head in this story, actually both of our dear couple’s heads.

Well, come together they do and it was worth the wait. It seemed that their biggest challenge was their own misunderstandings , but they didn’t know Wickham was planning a really heinous act to punish Darcy and Elizabeth, ultimately draining more money from Darcy’s wealth. And Lydia was Lydia at her best worst.

There’s so much more to the story, this is going to be a favorite re-listen. Highly recommended.
