About this listen
Mr. Darcy is unmarriageable. Every time he shows any interest in a lady, be it casual or serious, the lady disappears or has disaster befall her. Soon, society spreads gossip that he is cursed, and mamas and daughters alike shun his company.
Some unknown nemesis keeps the rumors alive, and soon, he suspects he will never find happiness until he discovers who wants him ruined.
In Meryton, a humbled Mr. Darcy finds himself drawn to a local beauty. Ever cautious that the villain behind his misfortune is watching, he takes great pains to keep his courtship a secret. He disguises his intentions by showing equal attention to all the ladies and being amiable to everyone.
When an old enemy arrives in Meryton unexpectedly, Darcy is instantly wary and works even harder to keep his relationship with Elizabeth from being widely known. Will he ever be free to marry and love her openly, or is his love doomed to be thwarted?
Thwarted can be considered far-fetched, but it was fun to write, nonetheless.

When Fitzwilliam Darcy's sister lies dying from a magical ailment, the only person who can help is Elizabeth Bennet, the powerful Librarian of the Great Library – the same woman he abandoned five years earlier. Elizabeth can't forget Darcy's refusal to believe in her magical ability, even now that she has a griffin familiar. However, as the Librarian, duty compels her to help him. Together, they undertake a quest to the Faerie Realm to find a cure, encountering dangerous magical creatures along the way. An even greater danger lurks in their own hearts.

She has everything—except the one man she cannot forget. When Elizabeth Bennet inherits a fortune, it turns her world upside down. She’s no longer just clever—she’s desirable. The same society that once dismissed her now welcomes her with open arms, eager to claim a piece of her newfound wealth. Navigating ballrooms and whispered intrigues is one thing. Facing Mr Fitzwilliam Darcy again? Quite another. Darcy regrets the pride that once cost him her regard. Now, as their paths cross in London’s glittering salons and quiet gardens, he must prove that his feelings are real—and that...

Fourteen-year-old Elizabeth Bennet thought Fitzwilliam Darcy, her friend Georgiana's brother, was the most wonderful, handsomest man in the entire world. When he went to India to fight Britain’s enemies, she made him promise to write her along with Georgie regularly. There wasn't anything improper, since Georgiana and she had sworn to be sisters. When Elizabeth and Georgiana learned that Fitzwilliam was captured, they kept writing letters to him, so that when he was released, he would know that he had not been forgotten by those who loved him.

The opening chapters set the stage of strings being pulled to ruin Darcy's life. When he finally seeks refuge at Netherfield, he is practically a leper, as far as Society is concerned. Not even Caroline Bingley wants him. Due to his troubles, he decides to make a break from the Society that abandoned him. This brings him to Meryton, with a mind open to the idea of a country gentlewoman. Duty was no longer a factor; he would seek his happiness! The courtship is darling, and aside from Mr Bennet, no one knows.
Without giving more away, I will say I was surprised at the identity of the nefarious shadow in the background and 2 characters get their just desserts, in a creative way!
Between this engaging book and the fabulous narration, this is a winning combo to listen to.
I won this audiobook in a contest, with no expectation of a review, and I am leaving my honest opinion.
A fantastic combo!

Someone is out to make Darcy’s life miserable and the fallout to those around him can be devastating. It takes time for Darcy to see the truth and realize that he needs to approach things differently. This change along with the truth of his situation goes a long way to make him a more agreeable man. This is a Darcy who will do anything for people he loves including Elizabeth. I enjoyed how Mr Bennet understands the situation and facilitated a secret courtship. It was also fun to see how Bingley‘s sisters absolutely believed the gossip about Darcy thus Miss Bingley was not fawning over him the entire book. Quite enjoyable. I loved seeing Darcy and Elizabeth fall in love with each other. This is a story that I will read again.
Now for the audiobook: Harry Frost does it again! He is one of my favorite JAFF narrators and truly brings the story to life. I read this last year but got the audiobook as soon as it was released. His narration make any story better!!
