About this listen

Elizabeth’s future is uncertain.
Mr. Darcy’s admiration is not.

Before his death, Elizabeth Stowe’s father sent her to live with the Bennets. She has lived most of her life at Longbourn and is startled to learn she is heiress to an estate in Scotland. Mr. Bennet adores his adopted niece, and he could not bring himself to tell Elizabeth the details of her long distant past ... but now he must.

Fitzwilliam Darcy did not expect to fall in love with a beautiful orphan, but from the moment he met her, he was entranced by Elizabeth’s fine eyes and sharp wit, which relentlessly demand his attention.

When Elizabeth is attacked by a mysterious antagonist, it is Darcy who comes to her rescue and finds a way to keep her safe from danger. Does the attack have something to do with her dead mother’s Scottish estate? With Darcy as her protector, Elizabeth leaves Longbourn and steps forward into an uncertain future.

This is a sweet and clean, low angst Pride and Prejudice variation where all of the Bennet sisters have happy endings.

Different twists but still a feel good story

Very entertaining. There is no rude comments by Darcy at the assembly. The Bennet family is much the same except they’re more caring and less flaunting of society’s norms. Which would make you think the story might be dull. But it is definitely not. I listened constantly wanting to know what happened next. Lots of twists but overall a feel good listen. I also really enjoyed the many epilogues. Instead of a recitation of the future it is a series of meetings or letters between different characters. Stevie Zimmerman’s narration is flawless as usual.

Ms. Kendig Crafts an Exciting Tale

I have read many of Ms. Kendig’s stories, and I am privileged to own a few of her ebooks. This one was well-crafted and was quite an exciting read. As for Stevie Zimmerman’s vocal performance, she is a true artist. Thank you for an enthralling experience.

Quite good

Spoilers ahead...
I really enjoy a story where Wickham redeems himself; this is one of those. I thought it an interesting idea title of book after a trope, but it works very well. Elizabeth is still the Elizabeth we know and love, but she has flaming red hair and some money. It was a pleasant story, though the epilogue was three chapters long. I enjoy Mr. & Mrs. Bennet being so loving. Coming to know a brother was also a nice touch. Her stepmother is a real piece of work.

Another great one

I enjoy all of Ms. Kendig’s books. She is capable of having several scenes going at once, yet writes in a way that it doesn’t get confusing or boring. The plot is original. I was reluctant to believe Wickham could be a good guy, but I believe in redemption, and thought it was done well. The other characters were also done well. Stevie Zimmerman, as always, did a fantastic job with her narration. I highly recommend this book.

Totally New Take on my favorite classic

I enjoyed the transformation of key characters like Mary, Wickham, and of course Elizabeth. Venturing into Northumbria and Scotland was a nice surprise, but the creation of completely new characters makes this, in my opinion, Kendig’s breakout book. This is a great read for any Regency era fan.

And they all lived happily ever after.

Spoiler alert: even Wickham finds a new path! This is a very low angst and wonderful variation! I highly recommend it to Pride and Prejudice fans.

Great book

This was another interesting take on pride and prejudice. A mystery. A drama. Some little angst. Well written and a great read. Great Jaff.

For stevie zimmerman

I am sorry to say that this book was insipid, tedious, and boring. I have read all that this author has done. This is the worst.

Not My Favorite

I have read several books by this author. I liked Peacocks at Pemberley and From Pemberley to Gretna Green but did not feel the same about this book. I realize it is a personal choice, but I like variations that share more genuine attraction between Darcy and Elizabeth. It does not need to be graphic, but the feeling of desire should be present. Darcy and Elizabeth's relationship is iconic - Pride and Prejudice is as beloved as it is today because we share deeply in their romance. I prefer to see their devotion to one another rather than quoting bible verses.
