Elizabeth planned to never remarry. She had married Mr. Collins to protect Jane when Mr. Bennet died. But would her memories of how he hurt her keep her from finding love with Mr. Darcy?
Elizabeth was only 15 when Mr. Bennet died. His heir, Mr. Collins, was an awful, ugly man who mistreated the servants. Elizabeth would never let her dear Jane marry him. Never. Jane was beautiful, kind, and good. She deserved to marry someone she loved. Elizabeth convinced Mr. Collins to choose her instead. His character was far worse than she had imagined it could be, and her marriage was an unending nightmare. Elizabeth felt joy when he died.
Years later Mr. Bingley took Netherfield, and Elizabeth met his haughty and handsome friend, Mr. Darcy. Even though he saw himself as superior to most of the local gentry, Elizabeth and Darcy quickly became fast friends. But as they grew closer Elizabeth’s terrifying memories of Mr. Collins returned....
Note: Four to five people told me, while they don't like the idea of Elizabeth married to Mr. Collins, they really liked the story. He is dead by the first paragraph.

Elizabeth comes into her own though. She has inherited Longbourn and she is not going to sit around letting her estate continue to decline as it had when it had been owned by one very indolent man and then one very ignorant self important man. Nor overseen by a lazy greedy steward. Here’s where some readers reject how Elizabeth is portrayed as being nearly perfect. But the author stresses several times that she has worked hard to learn and understand the estate, and see it grow and prosper. She is at loggerheads with her mother for multiple reasons. This Mrs Bennet made me want to lace her tea with something to shut her up. No, not permanently but continually.
When Darcy and Bingley show up in the story there are a lot more interesting moments in meeting the two families than strictly canon, which I will not spoil.
When Darcy inevitably comes around to understanding himself enough to make an offer for Elizabeth, he has some work ahead of him to gain her trust. And Elizabeth has an internal challenge with her past and with changing her decision to never marry again. Understandably.
This is a full length novel with a good story arc and interestingly changed characters. I truly recommend this for Austen variation readers. The author comes up with some great original stories. I think now I have the audio book I will listen to it more frequently than I had reread it before.
Character growth is quite good.

The book was well read, except I was not completely enamored of Darcy's voice. Overall I was impressed with the book and am happy I listened to it.
Don't be afraid - buy this book!

I'm really sorry because I feel like the narrator try to do a good job, but her the voice of Darcy was
Just terrible.
Additionally
Narration in general was very melodramatic, kind of like a blend between a therapist and an overly emotional person, it could almost put you to sleep
Almost impossible to listen two
