About this listen
Will deceptions, highwaymen, and a rambunctious eleven-year-old girl bring Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy together or tear them apart?
After rejecting Mr. Collins proposal, Miss Elizabeth Bennet assumes the persona of a widow and goes to Lambton to find work. But when she befriends Mr. Darcy's half-sister Rose and becomes her governess, she must contend with Mr. Darcy, a man she wishes to despise, and Col. Richard Fitzwilliam, a man she wants to love but cannot. With Rose's help, will Elizabeth find the strength to follow her heart?
Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy would sooner face bandits than return to Pemberley and deal with his stepmother -- alas, he must do both. And when he discovers Miss Elizabeth Bennet in his home, serving as governess to his half-sister Rose, things go from bad to worse. Col. Fitzwilliam is falling for her. Mr. Darcy is too -- or would be, if Miss Elizabeth were at all suitable. Will Mr. Darcy stop denying his heart before his cousin steals Elizabeth's?
Find out in An Unsuitable Governess, a standalone Pride and Prejudice novel of 64,000 words.
Warning! This book contains: one not at all wicked stepmother, one 100% wicked band of highwaymen, one rambunctious eleven-year-old, one deceptive governess with a heart of gold, one love-stricken colonel, one handsome gentleman in denial of his true feelings, one found treasure, and two happily ever afters to set your heart aflutter.

Story
Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

Story
The Bennet family of Longbourn, Hertfordshire, had long been known to its neighbours as exceptionally learned though eccentric, but was tolerated because the first Bennets settled there more than four hundred years before, just after the great plague. Both the grandfather and father of the master, Mr. Thomas Bennet, married blue-stocking wives from the Continent. These circumstances had a profound effect on Mrs. Bennet and her five daughters. Because of this broader worldview, the Bennet family was more aware of, and affected by some historical events of the period far outside the twenty-...

Nice rivalry between Darcy and Richard!
We’ve got precocious children, bandits in forests and love in bloom. It deserves a reader not AI.

Quite a satisfying plot
Virtual voice is a travesty, a kind of murderer of this surprisingly well-written, intelligent and satisfyingly better-than-usual P&P variation. It deserves better narration. I enjoyed it completely, apart from the wholly inadequate robotic voice.

Lovable Elizabeth
Elizabeth is a great governess to a little girl, who is much in need of guidance. However, Darcy does not appreciate Elizabeth at all, in the beginning.

Virtual Voice But Very Nice
Although this is a virtual voice recording I gave it 5-stars because I thought it was very nice. The story was very sweet with usual angst between Elizabeth and Darcy. Of course it is a variation; and, I, for one, do enjoy the alterations of the characters. I recommend for anyone that just enjoys a good love story.

So well executed, the best of AI this Author uses evaporates, the Variation takes flight!
This is a situation we can well imagine Miss Elizabeth’s Courage would take, after Mr Bingley & Mr Collins diabolicals to the Bennet family. A wondrous chg in Darcy’s attitude of suffering due to his Pride & Lizzie becoming a Companion a/k/a Governess to Darcy’s 11yr 1/2-Sister! Very cleverly done w/ great humor, kindness, suspense, Richard & Will’s heroism shows right from wrong. Lizzi’s dishonest portrayal of a Widow, experiencing shrinking guilt of her deception..relief at her disclosure. Just a great Listen/Read! Enjoy…

Excellent story!
Really enjoyed the story in spite of the virtual voice narration, which truly never conveys the emotions of the characters and situations and is therefore always disappointing especially when the story is so great. It makes me sad because audio books are so convenient for multi-tasking so I listen to the ones that have virtual voice narration anyway KNOWING they will disappoint because I don’t have time to sit down and read the story. In this case I will have to actually READ the book because it was so good and I want to experience it with all the appropriate emotions especially for Darcy and Elizabeth!!!! Besides I always read/ listen to great books over and over again. I just wish I could get Stevie Zimmerman or another great narrator to re-do this story then I could listen over and over vs. re-reading!!!

Felt like it was written by AI and then narrated by someone without emotion or understanding of British accent
The book started off well, interesting premise, but just meandered as if someone instructed an AI to make a book x pages long. The ending lacked humanity or an understand of what a HEA should be. It was just very bland. The narrator was just frustrating at times. Every time the narrator said, “mama” it would 100% lost the accent. I also noticed lots of small words were dropped and the section where someone with a more distinctive accent appeared was so bad. There was also just a total lack of emotion in the reading. Zero nuance. All in all, I don’t think AI will be replacing Stevie Zimmerman anytime soon.
