Story
Elizabeth Bennet loathes insufferable Mr. Darcy. When a series of mishaps repeatedly throws them into each other’s company—first with her unconscious at Netherfield, then him injured at Rosings—Elizabeth begins to see a different side of the proud man she thought she knew. This tender, low-angst Regency variation of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice proves that pride does indeed come before a fall…and that, in this case, love always comes after.

Story
Elizabeth Bennet is living a lie. She’s known since she was fifteen that she isn't truly a Bennet, but who is she? Are the people and places that appear in her dreams just a sign of her active imagination, or are they memories of her true family? Could the stories she'd told Jane when they were children not be stories at all?

Story
Elizabeth Bennet loathes insufferable Mr. Darcy. When a series of mishaps repeatedly throws them into each other’s company—first with her unconscious at Netherfield, then him injured at Rosings—Elizabeth begins to see a different side of the proud man she thought she knew. This tender, low-angst Regency variation of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice proves that pride does indeed come before a fall…and that, in this case, love always comes after.

very clever and highly engaing
I really don't like versions where there is a bad Bingley. fi ally we get to see the real Bingley! Story involves Bingley being a type of clever superhero amidst the backdrop of P and P.
I hope the author writes more and the narrator was wonderful and has his own YouTube channel

Fun and imaginative of a familiar world.
Loved the narrator and his multiple characters portrayed. The story captured your attention right away and it was exciting/ interesting to see vigilante action in Regency times play out.

Classic with a Twist
Truly enjoyed the story and its diversion from the historical classic. The narrator Ben Fensome is talented and able to flex his acting abilities to suit the needs of each character. I have already restarted the story to pick up what I may have missed during the initial experience. Do you want to see Mr. Bingley in a new and expanded light? Grab this book and enjoy your ride!

Bingley, the Avenger
Wow! I’m continually amazed at the creative imaginations that produce works such as this, while integrating the beloved characters and story created over two hundred years ago by the genius of author Jane Austen. It’s my opinion that this book joins a select number deserving a category of superior timeless quality. Additionally, Ben Fensome’s superb performance for the narration in this audiobook injects personality and life into every character. I will be listening and enjoying this again, multiple times. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mystery, Suspense, Intrigue
★★★★½ rounded up
It’s rare to see a book devoted entirely to Mr. Bingley of Pride and Prejudice fame, so it was with great anticipation and extremely refreshing for me to see him in the spotlight and given more depth than just being Darcy’s usual easygoing friend. If you’ve wished for a Mr. Bingley with more spine, Mr. Bingley: Just as a Gentleman Ought to Be definitely fits the bill, yet it may not be what you might expect.
Mired in mystery and intrigue, this story gives us a fascinating glimpse into what Mr. Bingley might have been up to before he leased Netherfield and what he did when he left. I enjoyed seeing a more complex side of him, but I was a bit conflicted about how the author balanced Bingley’s good-natured personality with the vigilante role he takes on against an evil cabal. Some of his actions are shockingly brutal, and while the book does show him struggling with his choices, I wasn’t entirely convinced he could do such things and still be the same affable Mr. Bingley we know and love.
Dragan has given Bingley a strong supporting cast—a group of steadfast allies who aid him in different ways. Darcy is, of course, present, and his friendship with Bingley is well done, showing both loyalty and the occasional tension between them. But there are also other men who surround him and recognize him as a man worthy of their loyalty. Each of them contributes something worthwhile to the plot.
The storytelling is strong, but the writing isn’t flawless. There are quite a few errors—missing words, grammatical slips, and incorrect word usage—that could have used another round of editing in the ebook version. They didn’t ruin my enjoyment, but they were distracting at times. That said, I loved getting a story that focused so much on Bingley, and despite my reservations, I feel the author did a great job making this particular portrayal compelling.
I read the book as I listened along with the audiobook, which is narrated by Ben Fensome. His performance is fantastic—definitely a five-star narration in my view. He captures the charm and affable personality of Bingley beautifully and handles the darker, more intense moments with gravity. His character voices are distinct and engaging. His pace is a little fast for me, but I easily fixed that by slowing down the playback, and once I did, it was perfect.
I hate to give a spoiler, but I feel the graphic suicide which takes place near the end of the book warrants a trigger warning (one of the bad guys).
Recommend.
Mature rating due to the sometimes graphically violent nature of the content.

Very enjoyable!
I downloaded this on a recommendation and was not sorry. The story is a fun flip on Jane Austin's Pride and Prejudice from Charles Bingley's POV and takes some great twists. The narration is done by Ben Fensome, whose career I've been following for some time, and I look forward to future projects, especially after this. He has brought the story to life while giving a unique voice to each character. Fun listen! I hope to hear more from both Brandon Dragan and Ben Fensome soon.

Mr Bingley…Avenging Angel
The narrator’s engaging telling of this story was just right. All the different voices, accents, inflections-it was all exactly as it should be! Well done, Mr. Fensome!

Great narration!
I especially loved Ben Fensome’s entertaining narration. He is great at creating the voices of so many different characters. I liked the author’s effort to explain how busy Mr. Bingley actually was during all of his ‘off-screen’ time. Pretty hilarious, actually! I also appreciate the author’s efforts to show the good side of characters such as Wickham, Hurst, etc.
