When he chuckled and said ‘Always’ made me wish I was the swooning type. I loved this version of Darcy and Lady Catherine.

Loved the story!

The narration was top notch.

The story has a very original beginning and twist on the original. I really enjoyed the first 2/3 of the book! But the last 1/3 dragged on way too long. I agree with the reviews that point out that Elizabeth was a bit slow when it came to accepting her feelings.

This story could have been 3-4 hours shorter. Too much time spent on Elizabeth being a bit of a dunce about Darcy; Lady Catherine being officious; and the too detailed "Companion" debate. Not sure I bought into Mrs. Bennet's ability to reform *that* much.

I also missed Jane in most of the book, we spend more time with Bingley than Jane and I thought that was a little weird. Also, Kitty basically disappears in the second half.

Great Idea, Great Narrator, Story too long

I liked the story and the low angst. Visiting with my favorite characters is always fun. This tale does a good job of developing the characters in a new way. Overall there wasn’t a ton of surprises but enjoyable.

Enjoyable

There’s a lot to like in this story: Elizabeth is a hero, Anne de Bourgh stands up to her mother, Lady Catherine changes her snobby ways, Mr. Bennet becomes a better father, Caroline hears some harsh words, and Wicked Wickham receives some justice.

Harry Frost gives listeners a most delicious Darcy, and a top-notch performance of the rest of the cast. He also does such a great life-like, spoiled-brat Lydia voice, that I want to reach into the screen and strangle her! There should be an award for that level of skill and talent! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm not completely sure why this book lacks a summary. However the main plot is that Lizzy sees Anne de Bourgh in a carriage in Meriton and convinces her not to elope with George Wickham. Anne doesn't take as much a forward role as I would have liked. The rest of the story is the friendship between Elizabeth and Anne as well as getting to know Darcy. The entire story is good, however, it's so low angst that you keep wondering with anything pivotal will occur. There's really only one or two scenes of actual tension and it rest felt a bit lackluster. The narrator did a great job as always.

Good, but very low angst

This P&P variation features a much more outgoing Anne de Bourgh and a Lady Catherine willing to change for her daughter’s sake.

After her visit to Kent Elizabeth is in Meryton with her sisters when she notices Anne de Bourgh in a carriage conversing with Wickham, a former member of the militia. Realizing that he can be up to no good with the heiress Elizabeth takes
advantage of his absence to talk to Anne and discover what she is doing with him. When Anne admits to an elopement Elizabeth is able to talk her into accompanying her back to Longbourn and safety from the blackguard. This action brings Elizabeth, Darcy and Lady Catherine into immediate contact.

Although Darcy wanted to have the opportunity for a second chance with Elizabeth he is thrust into her company much quicker than he could have imagined. As well Lady Catherine also comes to retrieve her daughter and insists on her share of the conversation. What could possibly go wrong?

As always Harry Frost is amazing and brings the story to life.

A Sassy Anne De Bourgh!

Another pretty good story from Jann Rowland. Elizabeth discovers Anne de Bourgh in Meryton waiting in a carriage for Wickham and talks her out of eloping with her. She and Jane get her to Longbourn for refuge, but not before Lydia spills the beans to Wickham about her whereabouts. An entourage from London arrives in search of her that includes Darcy, Colonel Fitzwilliam, Bingley and… Lady Catherine.

What I liked best was the portrayals of the secondary characters, especially Mr. Bennet’s large-and-in-charge confrontation with Wickham early in the story. Lots of good teasing among everyone in this book too.

I especially loved Harry Frost’s interpretation of it all. Five stars for Harry

Enjoyed it.

This one was very hard to put down. ODC were just what I hoped for. Where was hook up to Kindle?

No “Whisper-sync”! Why can’t I listen and read?

Elizabeth’s indecision about Darcy went on way too long.
Caroline was super mean and Lady Catherine was super rude.

Elizabeth is stupid
