Taken from her home as a young child, Elizabeth Bennet’s sense of self is shaken when the mystery behind her true identity is unraveled. Discovering her place as the daughter of a duke, she confronts reclaimed memories of her brutal abduction, while making her way in the alien world of Regency England’s high society.

Facing the ton is the least of her concerns, as her kidnappers remain determined to keep her from Fitzwilliam Darcy - the man who first professed his love by proposing she become his mistress. Humbled by her refusal, he returns to win her love and respect.

Together with her reunited family, Elizabeth faces her greatest challenges to both her life and her heart - reclaiming herself and finding her happiness.

The story is between a four and a five for me. This is always a fantastic narrator. The story seemed to fall a little flat in the middle; wI was a little disappointed that we never hear about Richard again after the soup dinner-doctor other than that he woke up. I feel many things were left out. However, it's a good premise and written well.

Pretty good

Stevie did a beautiful job performing this rendition. I loved the story, it was so different than others. The characters all had their own journey and issues to overcome and the retribution was oh so satisfying. Definitely worth listening too.

Great story, perfectly performed

It’s an interesting premise, when estates and livelihoods depend on keeping the money in the family. And it’s believable that evil exists among some who will do anything to protect their way of life, no matter the costs.

That’s what you have with this book. Lady Cat is about as evil as I’ve read in a P&P variation.

Think about this storyline as “plausible” in the context of early 1800’s entailed estates.

The story does a great job of showing the depth of a mother’s love. In this version, Elizabeth was “taken” as a young girl.

The storyline of being reunited and finding a family who loves her is warm.

It’s a long story and has lots of new characters. But it adds to the charm, I think.

Action packed P&P variation

Can I get my credit back please! I’ve listened to well over a hundred of P&P variations and this one has to be one of the worst ones to date. The only thing that shines in this book is of course Stevie Zimmerman. Do not pay any attention to the good reviews unless u like a very weak Fitzwilliam Darcy and a deplorable Colonel Fitzwilliam. I don’t mind books that stray from the original yet this one takes it way too far. Even as a standalone novel it’s just not any good. A much better read that strays from the original is Fitzwilliam Darcy Man of honour! I’d highly advise you to give that one a try.

Insane!

Parts of this book was great. Storyline jumped from one location to another at times which was hard to follow. Story itself was very, fictional to complete unbelievable.

Somewhat disappointed

Very entertaining story! Of course Stevie Zimmerman always does an incredible job. Lots of characters but I found it very easy to follow. The myriad scene changes were very engaging and kept my attention easily. A very full and rewarding storyline. Definitely one to listen to more than once. After reading some negative comments I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it so much!

Excellent story! Ignore negative comments!

Very well written and so detailed. I loved the new characters and the intricate woven story. A little bit angst but ODC has their HEA.

Great story

It was a great idea to start listening to this book in the morning on my day off because I just had to finish it. The many plots and simultaneous narration took a moment to get used to, but I enjoyed how all the pieces were falling together. The original characters were very well written, the villains were evil and got their just deserts. I liked how Ann de Bourgh’s character was developed, she was her mother’s daughter after all.
The only thing I didn’t like was the initial treatment of Elizabeth by Darcy. I can never agree to him asking Elizabeth for less than her hand in marriage, but I can understand how trapped and powerless he felt in the web of his relations. He redeemed himself well enough and was again a Darcy I could love.
Stevie Zimmerman’s narration was as always extraordinarily. I love how she manages to bring characters to life and makes them easily distinguishable. Her portrayal of different personalities and display of emotions is superb.
Highly recommended.

Complex and engaging

I think Stevie Zimmerman is the best narrarator. I can see everything in my mind that she says. Keep up the great work. More authors should use this great narrarator. Great story as well.
