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?

Story
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. 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.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Instead of becoming a scoundrel who regularly attempts to elope with teenage girls, Mr. Wickham studies the law as he originally told Mr. Darcy when he gave up the value of the living. After finishing his studies, Mr. Wickham finds work in Meryton with Mr. Phillips, a local solicitor and the Bennets's uncle.

Story
Fitzwilliam Darcy has been successfully resisting the charms of Elizabeth Bennet. Mostly. But a plea from his cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam, has put Darcy in a precarious position. To help his cousins find happiness, he must pretend a romantic diversion of his own, with the woman who is tearing down his last defenses. Elizabeth Bennet is accustomed to the ridiculous. Whether it is an absurd relative or a nonsensical noble, she allows very few things to rattle her. But she is properly astonished when Mr. Darcy shocks her with a most unconventional proposal.

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.

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!

Cute & Romantic Darcy and Lizzy
Fast moving, low angst, frolic of a P&P Variation. Darcy is much more passionate, but then so is Lizzy (but nothing Too Much). I love the girls and Elizabeth’s interaction with them. It was interesting to have this variation set on Elba with Napoleon for part of the story. Stevie Z is perfect from Darcy to Elizabeth to each of the children and even Napoleon!
