Publisher's summary

What if...the person who caught you in your most embarrassing moment is also the one your heart was meant to find?

It was never supposed to happen. Elizabeth Bennet never planned to get trapped in a ridiculous situation, and she certainly never intended for the person who found her to be a dizzyingly handsome...tall...and odiously haughty man who seems to regret ever meeting her. The only thing to do, naturally, is to tease him about it, and try not to let him under her skin.

Fitzwilliam Darcy wishes he could erase that whole morning - especially the part where he laid bare his...well, it is hardly worth repeating. For a surety, he would rather forget about the temptingly pert lady who had borne witness to his blunder. The only trouble is, he keeps being thrown into company with her. Every encounter brings a new brush with calamity, and he is beginning to wonder if he will survive their acquaintance.

When Lady Catherine asks Darcy to pay her respects to a Mrs. Ashton, an elderly neighbor in Meryton, he discovers a friend where he least expected it. But is Mrs. Ashton who he thinks she is? And what is he to do when the very woman he is trying to forget has entirely the wrong impression of him? He would ignore her, but she keeps wandering into his path with comically unlucky results. And when the rest of his family becomes suspicious about the reasons for his sister Georgiana's low spirits, the best way to protect her reputation is to bring her to Netherfield - into the vicinity of George Wickham, the man who broke her heart.

Darcy must find a way to keep his wits about him, keep his sister's reputation safe, and keep Elizabeth Bennet from becoming something she was never supposed to be...his intended.

From the author of Indisposed, Unintended is a clean and sweet regency variation.

Cute little story

Funny little rump. The way mr Darcy and Elizabeth meet is hilarious. Well written and witty.

A Fun Listen

A quick and fun listen featuring one of the best initial first meetings of Elizabeth and Darcy. You have to love a sassy and clutzy Darcy. Well... I love Darcy any old way, but I digress. Very lighthearted, fun, novella-length read. A perfect story to take in if you’ve just read a lengthy or angst-filled novel. No angst here—just a delightfully delicious story, especially if you love chocolate—wink, wink. The narration is good, but the character voices do not remain consistent. Sometimes Darcy’s voice is portrayed deeper, then it’s not.

Couldn't Resist!

In this Pride and Prejudice variation, Lizzy and Darcy meet before the Meryton Assembly and more than Darcy's pride is revealed.

I couldn't resist this short novella and finished it in an afternoon. I loved Lizzy and Darcy and the addition of the sweet Mrs. Ashton. Lizzy and Darcy seem to blunder into something every time they talk and it made me smile every time. The narration was well done, and pulled me right into the story. Worth the cost of a cup of coffee!

A short, lovely story

A lovely short story that will you will enjoy. A series of mishaps beginning with Darcy’s trousers. Aunt Rose helps Elizabeth see that she was wrong about Wickham and might have misjudged Darcy. A series of mishaps moves the courtship along. I would recommend this story as well as the others the author has written. The only problem is that I really did not care for the narrators’ voice.
