Aggravating! A lot of starts, stops, then repeats of dialog
Reviewed: 03-23-25
Badly produced. There were many starts of a sentence, stops, some kind of banging noise then the sentence was begun again. I can only presume that audible uploaded a copy that wasn’t completely edited for mistakes. Badly done audible. Still I enjoyed the story and Stevie Zimmerman’s narration.

What could possibly be in Longbourn Crater that was worth their while?When damage to his ship forces Captain Darcy to land in an unexpected location on an alien world, he's not prepared for what he finds. He expected aliens, certainly, but he didn't expect a contingent of humans related to Earth's most notorious traitor, or for those humans to be his crew’s only chance to repair their ship and complete their mission. Brilliant and beautiful, the human women they meet seem poised to do more harm than good.

Story2 out of 5 stars 2
Fitz Darcy—the scandalous younger son of Elizabeth and Mr Darcy—has inherited the very worst qualities of both of his parents. Like his mother, he is intelligent, whimsical, and restless, always searching for perfection in a world that lets him down. His pride, quick temper, and obstinacy are all his father, although he would hate to admit any resemblance. His twin brother, Will, meanwhile, is everything a Darcy should be—handsome, honest, and noble.

Fitz and Will are twins with Fitz as the ill tempered twin and Will as the ridiculously gullible twin. Darcy their father is grouchy and Elizabeth teary. Odd story.

Love is not the simple thing that novels and poetry speak of. It is by turns subtle and overwhelming. It may slip silently into your heart, or strike like a bolt of lightning.

Repeats of what was previously read in chapter 12. I believe this happened in book 1 of the series as well although I did not make a note of where it occurred.

Five months after Fitzwilliam Darcy’s disastrous proposal to Elizabeth Bennet, he discovers that the woman he ardently loves is suffering from a grave illness. Despite an affliction that has left her altered, Elizabeth is still the same person in essentials: witty, sanguine, and obstinate. However, her future is uncertain, and she struggles to maintain her equanimity - especially when Mr. Darcy returns to Netherfield and seems determined to improve her opinion of him.

DEPRESSING
Reviewed: 12-03-21
An unhealthy and constantly ill Elizabeth was most definitely not a fun listen, it was torturous. While Elizabeth manages to eke out an existence in the end it is a mere shadow of the happier times found in all other Pride and Prejudice variations. Please no more stories of this ilk, it was extremely depressing!

Story5 out of 5 stars 105
Some form of devilry has come over Mr. Darcy. Since his father’s death, Fitzwilliam Darcy has endeavored to be reliable, responsible, and restrained. But upon visiting Netherfield Park in Hertfordshire, he finds himself weary of the struggle to be so damnably well regulated and delights in a revival of the carefree mischief that characterized his younger days. What brings on this sudden reversal? Perhaps it is a shocking incident that takes place upon his first entering the neighborhood when he rescues Miss Elizabeth Bennet from the raging current of a rain-swollen stream.

Very frustrating to listen to a chapter be repeated. I don’t believe I am to the halfway point of this audiobook and it’s happened twice. Someone needs to edit this audio recording!

For some reason chapter six had numerous starts and stops and repeats in the recording of the story. Hopefully somebody fixes it?!! Enjoyed the story very much. It is very exasperating to listen to this again and realize THE ERRORS IN CHAPTER SIX HAVE NOT EVER BEEN CORRECTED!! HELLO AUDIBLE ARE YOU READING THESE REVIEWS?!!!

Though barely out of the schoolroom, Melody Ashton was determined to save her mother from scandal. Guardian of several "orphans" (in actuality the illegitimate children of the ton!) poor Mama was accused of pilfering contributions. To make matters worse, the infuriatingly handsome Lord Coe had accused them all of blackmailing his sister, whose child resided with them!
