Resumen del Editor

Someone wants Elizabeth Bennet dead. It’s all Fitzwilliam Darcy’s fault.

Elizabeth Bennet wants the truth from Mr. Darcy. When she follows him from the ballroom to insist upon it, she becomes an unwilling witness to a scandalous scene. And for once, she cannot blame Mr. Darcy for disdaining his company, not even when he departs Netherfield in the middle of the ball.

When Darcy returns to London, he leaves both Miss Elizabeth Bennet and his growing infatuation for her behind--or so he believes. For soon, their paths cross again under the most painful of circumstances.

Elizabeth suddenly finds herself dependent upon Mr. Darcy. With the gradual unveiling of his character, she is surprised by a burgeoning affection for him. Will her heart survive their inevitable parting?

Thrust together out of necessity, Elizabeth and Darcy must discover the culprit responsible for their predicament before they are ruined...or worse.

Wow!

Loved every second of it! It was a little weird at first with the two narrators, but after the first chapter or so it wasn’t an issue. Strongly recommend!

Love this Elizabeth & Darcy

The plot of this story is a bit unbelievable BUT I didn’t care. I loved listening to the unfolding tale. I especially liked the added elements to our canon characters - Lizzy is fierce and obviously had been a tomboy, Jane is not just sweet & serene, Mr B is better, Darcy is so much more romantic, Charles Bingley is not the man Austen described and Sir William is astonishing!! I very much enjoyed the dual narrators although there was apparently some technical difficulty cutting the female reader into the audio without the difference in clarity being obvious, but it gets better as the story goes on. I did not mind it and it didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the story.

A triumph

I read this book when it was first released. Great story with not the typical plot. Being that a read A LOT of P&P FF, I didn’t recall the storyline right away BUT… when I saw two of my favorite narrators… SOLD!

In the beginning the sound of the two narrators was a tinge off but it soon resolved itself.

Again, if you’re looking for a variation that has a nice twist and on the lower scale of angst, here is your next Audible. Some fluff, lots of Colonel Fitzwilliam and plenty of D & E.

One of my hands down favorites

This is the first book I read by Melanie Rachel on Kindle and I fell in love with her style right away. I've reached the point of buying her Kindle books sight unseen. This book is delightful because of a few things:

1. It explores the whole idea of a Gentleman's honor rather well, without being too heavy handed about it. Rachel shows the ridiculousness of dueling and the code of honor and demonstrates quite clearly what TRUE honor is.

2. The evolution of the relationship between Darcy and Elizabeth: They have delightful repartee and there isn't a feel of one-upmanship. They are two equals dealing with a dangerous and difficult situation. The trust they each have in the other allows for some rather delightful bits of humor.

3. Bingley and Jane: I was pleasantly surprised to see Bingley behaving badly. (Not a spoiler since it happens in the first chapter!) Seeing his attempt to create a compromise and force Darcy to marry Caroline foiled was well done. Watching Jane show a measure of steel to her backbone was also well done. I like how their side stories end, though I wouldn't have minded a closing mention of Caroline Bingley.

4. Regarding the narration, I love each narrator -- Harry Frost and Elizabeth Grace. Those two are in my top 5 favorites and I regularly search to see what they have out next. (I wish Audible would let you follow a narrator like you can an author!) Having Harry Frost narrate everything but the women's dialogue was an intriguing choice. It grew on me the further I got in the book. The wedding night dialogue was absolutely beautiful. It was a *chef's kiss* moment, Perfection.

So yes, I loved it. I hope for more of Melanie Rachel books to be put out in Audible soon.

Great story. Baffling dual narrators.

The story is interesting and different if maybe a little too drawn out towards the end. Still fun, though, and I would recommend it if the dual narration wasn't so weird.

The decision on 2 narrators is a bizarre one. The quality of the audio is different between the male and female voices so it takes you out of the story every time it switches back and forth. And then the voice actors approach scenes with different emotional tone. I would assume that neither voice actor listened to the others reading before doing their own recording. It gives the story a weird feel and made it difficult to get through, at times.

Great Story

I enjoyed this audio P&P variation very much. Harry Stone is always wonderful. The female narrator was so low key that it was jarring and hard to process in the context, though it got better in later chapters. The audio volume on her segments seemed to be low, as well. I would have preferred that the whole thing be narrated by Mr. Stone.

Narrators rock this!

I first read the story & completely enjoyed it but then the audiobook came out and with both Harry Frost & Elizabeth Grace doing the narration took this story to a new level. He took all the male parts & she all the female roles and the story just flowed. After a little bit you are sucked into the story and you dont even focus on who is saying what. I truly hope that these two continue to partner up and do more of the JAFF/P&P audiobooks!

Excellent and worth the wait!

i read the book when it was first released and have re-read it at least twice. I was hoping it would get the audio treatment and was so excited to find it! The narration style and the narrators themselves are so well done. I have zero complaints. I am a big fan of the author, and the narrators are two of my favorites. Worth the $/ credit. You will definitely enjoy.

Re telling of Lizzie and Mr. Darcy.

This one has has Mr. Darcy rescuing and taking care Elizabeth. Keeping her hidden after finding her unconscious and not knowing who tried to kidnap her. They fall in love. It's sweet. Lizzie is nice and not much of her family is in this version.

Lovely story

This was an excellent mystery as well as a love story. This Mr. Bingley was very much in character and got his just desserts in the end. I would like to know how Caroline ended up. Darcy and Elizabeth were true to their characters and deserved their HEA. Harry Frost was excellent as always.
