About this listen

Against expectations. Against reason. Against all odds.

This is a stand-alone story that does not require reading book one in the series.

Fitzwilliam Darcy carries the weight of the past, the present, and the future on his broad shoulders. Driven by his family’s expectations, he slights the one person who could bring him joy.

Elizabeth Bennet is an independent spirit trapped by the constraints of society and the poor decisions of others. Unexpectedly, she gets a glimpse into the heart of a man who insulted her. Instead of arrogance and pride, she sees honor.

When their lives are endangered, can they work together to save each other? Will Darcy be her salvation? Can Elizabeth’s love melt the ice surrounding his heart?

River of Dreams is a sweet and dramatic, enemy to lovers Regency variation of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice that is appropriate for all listeners.

A Packed Plot

I love this story, and Stevie Zimmerman adds a new dimension with her narration. Her voices—from a grumpy mean man to darling children, and her always outstanding presentations for ODC, each one is distinctive and unique. I got so completely caught up in this JD King favourite.

This book had so many things I love about a Darcy and Elizabeth story:

- ODC meet young;
- reunited years later, but yet unknown to one another, they begin as enemies because of pride and hurt feelings;
- there’s an interesting and somewhat angsty subplot surrounding Mr. Bennet’s possible ruin involving the Earl of Matlock, a villain keen on having Darcy’s estate and assets;
- there is a set of endearing orphaned twins who steal the hearts of ODC and who provide the couple with a look at the kindness within their respective hearts;
- there’s an eventual rescue and semi-compromise;
- villains get their comeuppance, and;
- of course, a happy ending.

Highly recommend this fantastic audiobook.

Stevie Zimmerman performance

Great story, it moves kind of fast but given the size of the book, it's understandable, very unique on the P&P book.

DELIGHTFUL

I enjoy the stories that introduce the characters as children & then switch to the expected time according to canon.
“River of Dreams” is gentle & enjoyable with just enough danger to maintain the readers’ desire to reach resolution. 5 stars

Such a sweet story!

I like a story when ODC are witty and intelligent and know what to do in a crisis.
