What if Elizabeth is not a Bennet by birth, but by marriage?
When Netherfield Park is let at last, the village of Meryton is inveigled in romance, intrigue, and a few less-than-happy reunions. The Bingley siblings return to the home of their youth, an estate purchased just before the death of their father. The neighborhood, especially the Bennet family, is ready to welcome them back with open arms, but Mr. Bingley’s attempt to make a good impression on his community backfires so badly that it is his awkward friend Mr. Darcy who is obliged to salvage the situation in the aftermath of Mr. Bingley insulting Jane Bennet at the Assembly.
Young widow Elizabeth Bennet begins her acquaintance with Mr. Darcy on amiable terms, but the reckless folly of his friend and the regrets from her own past create a bumpy path to Happily Ever After for them.
Not long after an injury obliges Elizabeth to recover at Netherfield Park, her estranged sister finally discovers Elizabeth’s whereabouts, and journeys from Highbury to Meryton in all haste, suitors in tow.
When one unexpected betrothal arises out of necessity, Jane Austen’s most notorious matchmaker is inspired to work her magic at Longbourn, Netherfield, and Lucas Lodge - but she, too, will have met her match in matters of meddling & mischief….

too much repetition.

I also loved how this story emphasizes women's strengths and the complex but vital relationship between women. I would HIGHLY recommend this listen if you love Jane Austen. I feel like the author did a really great job at keeping all of the characters true to their intended personalities, while at the same time developing a completely new story. I've listened to a couple hundred of these PP variations and this is one of the most unique stories in my collection of them. The narrator did a wonderful job of creating unique voices for each of the characters while inflecting them with personality. I did have to speed it up to 1.10, but that's just my preference.
Again, if you're a JA fan, do yourself a favor and listen to this fun, clever story. It's absolutely worth it!!!
Imaginative mashup of P&P + Emma

Oh such fun to be had!
I do love how this author takes Ms. Austen characters and plays with them. They are twisted around and put into new and vastly different situations, usually stretching them to new heights, all while keeping them recognizable. Amazing, it always keeps me coming back to her books.
I love the narrator, they are fairly new to me and with so many different voices I was still able to tell who was speaking. It was easy to listen to and didn’t drag but not too slow. I look forward to listening to more books read by her!

Elizabeth Bennet, née Woodhouse, is the widow of Benjamin Bennet, former heir to Longbourn, with whom she eloped at the age of fifteen in her desire to escape her father’s indifference and her solitary life at Highbury. In her marriage, Elizabeth was blessed with a son, Thomas, and the genuine love of a new family. She is happy.
The usual Netherfield party arrives, but this time with Colonel Fitzwilliam, George Knightly and Emma Woodhouse in tow. Emma is determined to reconcile with her sister after having been separated for five years. After Elizabeth is injured and carried to Netherfield to recuperate, the fun really begins. The story is long, but it is filled with a pleasing abundance of engaging dialogue, humour and meddling schemes. There’s never a dull moment.
Bringing together the characters of Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and Emma, Jayne Bamber once again reveals she is the undeniable ‘Queen of Mashups’. Combining a clever “not a Bennet” trope—at least not by birth—with the meddling machinations of Emma, makes for a humorous romp with a great cast of beloved characters. Throughout this book, I couldn’t help imagining the story as a film or limited series. It would be very diverting!
Content is clean with kisses only—well, maybe a little grope or two.
Highly recommend if you enjoy a romp, and if it’s not been your cuppa, this one may change your mind.
Delightful Austen Crossover/Mashup

I’m not a fan of Emma but this story was so very interesting and the changes to the pairings so much better. Elizabeth and Darcy’s journey was not as smooth but made their journey to expressing their feelings of love so swoon worthy.
The narrator was awesome!
