About this listen

**Elizabeth Bennet**

My life is in tatters: a scandalous elopement, the possible loss of my beloved Longbourn, and the mortifying memory of a rejected proposal. As if that's not enough, I now have the delightful job of handling the unruly Holt children as their governess. Little did I know, this role would pull me into the world of international intrigue. Italy, Napoleon, and danger? Not exactly what I signed up for.

**Things going terribly wrong:**

1. Longbourn's impending doom. (Just perfect.)

2. Becoming a governess. (Desperation calls.)

3. Discovering the Holt's suspicious interest in Napoleon. (Because, of course.)

4. Running into the last person I'd ever want to see. (Why, universe, why?)

5. Realizing that the only man who can help me navigate this mess is the one whose heart I broke. (Oh, irony.)

**Fitzwilliam Darcy**

Getting over Elizabeth Bennet? Harder than I imagined. Being called upon for a crucial mission? Just my luck. Finding out Elizabeth is tangled in the very web I'm trying to unravel? Absolutely unbelievable.

**Things I didn’t expect this year:**

1. Elizabeth becoming ensnared in an international incident. (Coincidence? I think not.)

2. Having to balance my mission with my feelings. (I’m not prepared.)

3. The burning need to protect Elizabeth from looming danger while she still despises me. (Old habits.)

4. Europe on the brink of war... again. (Timing is everything.)

5. Realizing the only way forward is to confront our past. (I could use a sign.)

In a world teetering on war, can a gentleman set on deciphering international secrets and a governess wrapped up in her own tumultuous saga find their way back to each other?

Great storyline

Great storyline narration as always. Had several recording hiccups which is why I lowered one star. But otherwise, a great listen!

audio messed up a bit but the story is fun

the audio skips in a few places but it's not horrible. other than that the story is pretty fun and enjoyable. not the best variation I've heard of read but it's far from the worst.

The girls!!

I got the ebook and audiobook and Alix James and Stevie Zimmerman have done it again on their partnership for an excellent adventure/mystery story. Is this story far fetched- yes but it’s a fun and enjoyable ride! The girls are a perfect fit and love how everything turned out. Oh you will laugh hard at a drugged Lizzy and how she acted with Darcy. Will I read or listen again- absolutely!

enjoyable

I enjoyed the story, but felt like it wasn't quite true to OG Darcy and Elizabeth. The recording was grainy and had a bit of echo in parts, but the voice acting was great.
