Story
The Bennett family have lived close to the town of Meryton, in Hertfordshire County, for over two centuries. They have had good times and troubled times, still managing to keep their middle-sized estate, Longbourn, within the family. Thomas Bennett is the current master of Longbourn Estate; He, his wife and their five daughters are barely managing out a decent living, due to his sloven nature, insolence, and indolence. He became such a man after realizing he had married beneath him in the worst way. Franny Bennett, the daughter of a solicitor, became Thomas’s bride, elevating her station ...

Story
When Fitzwilliam Darcy makes an impetuous offer of marriage to Miss Elizabeth Bennet, he is convinced they have as good a chance as any for a harmonious life together. That is, until an overheard conversation changes everything, and Darcy realizes he is now joined in perpetuity to a woman who loathes the very sight of him. Elizabeth Bennet's expectations for matrimonial accord were never very high, having accepted Mr. Darcy's proposal in a fit of pique, not love. Still, she is determined to make the best of her situation. But life at Pemberley is not at all what she imagined.

I much prefer the sharpest criticism of a single intelligent man to the thoughtless approval of the masses. ELIZABETH BENNET is determined that she will put a stop to her mother’s plans to marry off the eldest Bennet daughter to Mr. Collins, the Longbourn heir, but a man that Mr. Bennet considers an annoying dimwit. Hence, Elizabeth disguises herself as Jane and repeats her vows to the supercilious rector as if she is her sister, thereby voiding the nuptials and saving Jane from a life of drudgery. Yet, even the “best laid plans” can often go awry. FITZWILLIAM DARCY is desperate to ...

"It is remarkable how many great romances begin with a lie." When Fitzwilliam Darcy returns to Netherfield with an outrageous proposal, a false courtship to protect his sister's future, Elizabeth Bennet is certain he has lost his senses. Yet as she learns of Lady Catherine's threats and his devotion to Georgiana, Elizabeth finds herself agreeing to the charade. Their arrangement is meant to be temporary. He gains protection from his aunt's schemes, while she escapes her mother's desperate matchmaking and secures Bingley's return for Jane. Simple, practical, and absolutely not romantic. As ...

Unless one knows the value of loyalty, he cannot appreciate the cost of betrayal. What if Darcy and Elizabeth met weeks before the Meryton assembly? What if there is no barely “tolerable” remark to have Elizabeth rejecting Mr. Darcy’s affections, but rather a dip in a cold creek that sets her against him? What if Mr. Bennet is a renown Shakespearean scholar who encourages Darcy to act the role of Petruchio from Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew” to bring Elizabeth’s Katherina persona to the line? ELIZABETH BENNET’s pride has her learning a difficult lesson: Loyalty is ...

Story
The Bennet family of Longbourn, Hertfordshire, had long been known to its neighbours as exceptionally learned though eccentric, but was tolerated because the first Bennets settled there more than four hundred years before, just after the great plague. Both the grandfather and father of the master, Mr. Thomas Bennet, married blue-stocking wives from the Continent. These circumstances had a profound effect on Mrs. Bennet and her five daughters. Because of this broader worldview, the Bennet family was more aware of, and affected by some historical events of the period far outside the twenty-...

Could have been much better with a narrator.
This was a very good story, good characterization and well written humor. It just could have been so much better with a narrator. This computer generated narration mispronounces a number of words, has no inflection at all in characters or conversation conversations. It’s just a disappointment. It needs to be refined much better before it’s used. If you can suffer through it, the story is good.

Top 10 P&P Variation
Okay. I realize this is Virtual Voice. Just put it in 1.2 speed and you’ll quickly forget about the VV. This P&P variation is wonderful! It’s a brand new take on our favorite canon characters. The story is something I’ve not seen in other P&P variations. The characters are well developed.
Life and circumstances were different in the early 1800s. Expectations. Reputations. All of it. This variation is so realistic of what life must have been like, and the decisions that had to be made in order to live, in order to save an ill sister, in order to keep a sister’s reputation in tact so she can make an eligible match.
One *advisory* I need to make is that there are a few parts that are mature audiences only. I loved the entire book, and I believe those parts were important for the storyline. But, in case there is a reader or listener who might want to fast forward thru those sections, consider yourself advised.
I highly recommend this story. Bravo to the author.

Well Done
The dialog is witty and engaging, far better than your average JAFF. There is genuine feeling and a realistic balance of happiness and sadness. Yes, the plot at times is illogical and the virtual voice mispronounced many, many words. Still well worth a listen!

Interesting mistress scenario
This book was never boring. I enjoyed the conversations between Elizabeth and Darcy. This book addresses some important topics about society. There is one particularly spicy scene for mature audiences only. But also not overflowing with scenes of intimacy. I would have loved a HEA for Georgiana, but it was lacking in that aspect.
