Story4.5 out of 5 stars 53
Fitzwilliam Darcy has found his perfect match in Elizabeth Bennet. Her spirited conversation, their frequent encounters at Rosings Park, and the fire in her eyes when she looks at him encourage Darcy to ask the question burning in his heart. His words are well-rehearsed, and the moment is perfect...until a Great Dane puppy escapes from the kennel and plants her muddy paws on his brushed breeches, ruining his plans and gaining the attention of the lady he wishes to make Mrs. Darcy.

I adore all books by Jennifer Joy. I enjoy all books narrated by Stevie Zimmerman. Put the two together and you get perfection in the form of fiction.
This story was lovely and lively with little angst and an adorably large puppy.
It was sweet and delightful to see how the untimely interruption of the puppy led to Darcy's better understanding and the time he took to make amends for his wrongs.

A sudden and fierce snow storm causes Elizabeth, Jane, and Lydia Bennet, as well as their would-be rescuers, Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley, to take shelter in an empty cabin. Lydia's suggestion to pass the time with games might be just what Bingley needs to prove Jane truly cares for him. Will Elizabeth's prejudices of Mr. Darcy hold up under the scrutiny of being stranded with him?

Her father, however, will not allow her to marry a man without a title. When Richard is named the Duke of Blachedone, it is a blessing and a curse.

Threat of Scandal - Written by the same author and narrated by the same narrator. Equally wonderful story.

I love her narration of Mrs. Bennet. Not a character I generally love, but Stevie does the voice perfectly.

Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is 12, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel.

This book has been an Amazon chart topper for a very long time. I thought I was an uneducated simpleton because it did not sound like a book I wanted to read, despite the thousands of other people doing so. I had some credits on Audible so I used one to purchase the audiobook.
I wish I hadn't wasted the credit. To the narrators credit, he did an amazing job bringing the long and overly wordy story to life in a way that I could not have, had I read the book. First of all, I listened to the entire audiobook whereas if I had read the ebook I would have quit by chapter 5 or 6.
I wanted to love the story, but I couldn't. I felt there were too many historical inaccuracies and far too may plot holes.

But after being caught in a compromising position with tempting Lady Celsiana Blake, the brilliant and brooding scientist/inventor is forced into marriage in this fast-paced, jocular tale in which a supporting cast of beloved pets, the warm and eccentric de Montforte brothers, and the Machiavellian influence of the mighty duke of Blackheath once again play a role...

As I've mentioned in other reviews, Lucien's voice is how I will always remember him.

Have you listened to any of David Stifel’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I've listened to his 4 narrations of Danelle Harmon's DeMontforte Brothers series. I think this narration is on par with the others. My favorite characterization is Lucien's voice. I listened to all of the books just so I could hear him speak over and over.
