Some form of devilry has come over Mr. Darcy.
Since his father’s death, Fitzwilliam Darcy has endeavored to be reliable, responsible, and restrained. But upon visiting Netherfield Park in Hertfordshire, he finds himself weary of the struggle to be so damnably well regulated and delights in a revival of the carefree mischief that characterized his younger days.
What brings on this sudden reversal? Perhaps it is a shocking incident that takes place upon his first entering the neighborhood when he rescues Miss Elizabeth Bennet from the raging current of a rain-swollen stream. The so-called “lady” does not prefer to be rescued, and Darcy’s subsequent dunking, rather than resulting in the gratitude that is his due, is met with her confounding resentment of his interference.
This tale of Darcy’s entanglement with the mysteriously grief-stricken Bennet family is interwoven with a love story - a most delicious exchange of looks, barbs, pranks, and innuendos as Miss Elizabeth, the “lightning bolt of Longbourn”, regularly singes, frustrates, and humbles the man from Derbyshire.

The perfect voice for Mr. Darcy!

It's an interesting story told exclusively from Darcy's viewpoint. I think the author made some good choices on the fates of so many beloved characters and all are entirely believable, though there are some departures from canon.
It's a sweet tale with little angst, and (minor spoiler to follow)...
I loved Mr. Darcy's mild torment of Caroline Bingley. I also love how she is a small part of the story, but isn't a harpy constantly at Darcy's shoulder dripping with jealousy for Elizabeth. She just quietly disappears from the story with no real comment on what becomes of her because for ODC in this version it isn't really important. As a bonus, we don't get any moralizing about whether Bingley can "control" his sister which is a trope that bugs me because it so SO overdone in JAFF.
Mostly i enjoyed that we see a friendship emerge between Mr. Bennet and Darcy. Though, tbh, I felt this story is actually more about that relationship than a romance between Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam.
It is a fun little story to spend an afternoon listening to.
A favorite P&P variation

Delightful!

Now, add an unruly large pup ( who was actually to blame ) that needs training. The best person to help, much to her resistance, is Darcy.
Cute Rom-com
Great Fun JAFF

I love Gibson’s humorous P&P variations.

The only real complaint I have is with the editing of the audiobook which has two of the chapters repeating themselves in the middle of the book, causing momentary confusion and unfortunately yanking you out of the narrative after a fairly serious moment each time.
If the audio edit could be corrected to remove the excess chapter errors, then this would be a truly 5 star across the board experience.
Repeating Chapters confused otherwise great listen
