About this listen
When pride meets gravity
Elizabeth Bennet loathes insufferable Mr. Darcy. When a series of mishaps repeatedly throws them into each other’s company—first with her unconscious at Netherfield, then him injured at Rosings—Elizabeth begins to see a different side of the proud man she thought she knew. But it’s not until Pemberley that Elizabeth realizes her greatest enemy has somehow become the man with whom she has fallen deeply in love. If only she could be sure that he feels the same for her. Can two stubborn hearts and three accidental tumbles result in the wedding of a lifetime? This tender, low-angst Regency variation of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice proves that pride does indeed come before a fall…and that, in this case, love always comes after.

Fitzwilliam Darcy is enraged when, already reeling from Elizabeth Bennet’s disdain, he discovers his sister locked in a passionate embrace with George Wickham—and suffers an apoplexy at the sight. With proper speech locked uselessly inside his mind, his Fitzwilliam relations are quick to take advantage of the situation, calling his illness insanity, and scheming to keep both Darcys under their control.

Story
So much in life depends on chance and sheer luck. How much do we often owe to being in the right place at the right time? In Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet plans to visit the Lake District with her uncle and aunt, yet ends up at Pemberley instead, just as, by coincidence, Mr Darcy also arrives home. They meet, understand one another better and all eventually ends well. But what if they did not have such luck? What if Elizabeth actually went to the Lake District and was nowhere near Pemberley, and she and Mr Darcy never met again until another four years had gone by? Now...

A unique story in the Austenesque catalogue—a Viking era variation of Pride and Prejudice. Set in the late 800s when King Alfred the Great ruled in Wessex and Harold Fairhair united tribal Norway into one kingdom. Elizabeth’s courage had risen when faced with the fierce Viking, but what will she do when she finds herself as a stowaway on a Viking ship, heading for a major sea battle?

Story
Miss Caroline Bingley has long been a thorn in the side of Fitzwilliam Darcy's friendship with Charles Bingley; the visit to Netherfield Park to help Bingley learn the craft of an estate manager has all the potential for disaster. But Darcy will not shirk, for his friendship with Bingley outweighs his distaste for the man's sister. In his defense, Darcy enlists his manservant, a man equally committed to ensure Miss Bingley will not become his master's wife.

4 1/2 rounded up
Each of Christie Capps' (Joy Dawn King) stories are a "joy" to read. They are individually unique and I love that you can enjoy a complete story in one sitting.
In this sweet story, both Darcy and Elizabeth have an accident at different times where the other rescues or cares for them. Each of these times, they learn a little bit more of the other. Both Darcy and Elizabeth start to see their errors, prejudices and pride, thus able to work through them without collateral damage or excessive anger.
This was an automatic read as soon as I saw that it was available on KU. This will be a story I will gladly buy and re-read. Thank you, Joy, for another wonderful story!
Now add this this the excellent narration of Stevie Zimmerman and I love this story even more!!!

In Falling Slowly, Elizabeth is injured when she falls by the lake at Netherfield Park, and because Darcy rescues and carries her back, he offers marriage due to the compromising situation. She refuses, and because of her injury, she never attends the ball—Darcy leaves the day after. Months later, at Kent, there’s another fall, and Darcy seriously injures his leg trying to rescue Elizabeth once more. He doesn’t see her again until she and the Gardiners visit Pemberley.
For such a short story, this novella offers an impressive amount of witty and heartfelt dialogue between Elizabeth and Darcy—sometimes while they’re semi-conscious or drunk adding that touch of humour I love. Interruptions at key moments try their patience, but the tone remains light and low-angst throughout. Darcy’s rescues reveal his protective nature, gradually shifting Elizabeth’s opinion of him, while her nurturing personality endears her to Darcy even more.
Highly recommend.
Delightful in every way.
