I Do

A Pride And Prejudice Variation

By: Lily Michaels

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

She was only tolerable… until she became unforgettable. A marriage born of duty. A love neither expected. A choice that will change everything.

When Fitzwilliam Darcy steps forward to claim responsibility for a compromise he did not cause, he saves Elizabeth Bennet’s reputation at the cost of her freedom. Their marriage is immediate, irrevocable, and entirely unwanted by Elizabeth; Darcy has long wished for it, though he has not acknowledged his feelings, even to himself, until it is almost too late.

Elizabeth never imagines that attending the Netherfield ball will end with her bound to one of the wealthiest men in Derbyshire. Discovered in a compromising situation, she is left with no choice but to wed Mr. Darcy, whose intervention is meant to protect her honor and to secure her as his wife.

She agrees to the marriage on strict conditions. Her sisters must accompany her as she travels to Pemberley, her new home in distant Derbyshire, and Darcy must postpone all marital intimacy until she has come to know him better. To her surprise, he accepts without protest.

As they navigate an uneasy beginning, Elizabeth’s distrust slowly gives way to reluctant admiration. Darcy proves himself thoughtful, patient, and deeply attentive, not only to Elizabeth but to her sisters as well. Against her will, her heart begins to respond.

But happiness is fragile. When a woman from Darcy’s past returns, a childhood friend he once hoped to marry, Elizabeth is confronted with fears she never expected to feel. What began as a marriage of necessity now feels dangerously precious.
Forced to confront her own heart, Elizabeth must decide whether vows spoken in haste can become vows kept for a lifetime.

In choosing Darcy at last, she dares to claim the love he has already chosen for her.

Ai reader… terrible

Story was enjoyable, but the Ai reader took away from the experience in all the robotic ways one would expect.

An oddly weak Elizabeth..

I was confused by the lacklustre portrayal of Elizabeth. (Swooning, crying, sobbing, etc..) story was otherwise ok
