About this listen

Darcy's got the wealth and wit, but Elizabeth's heart is already spoken for. Cue the romance and shenanigans, because the game of love is about to get serious.

**Elizabeth Bennet**

It was supposed to be simple: come back to Derbyshire, see childhood friends, maybe fall in love. But that was before I realized George Darcy, the boy I’d set my heart on when I was just thirteen, was engaged to Lady Lucilla.

Things I didn't expect this week:

1. Realizing I still had feelings for George. (Old habits die hard.)

2. Being warned off by his oh-so-serious older brother. (As if I’d listen!)

3. Finding myself in the middle of a love square? Love rhombus? Whatever it’s called.

4. Being oddly drawn to the older Darcy brother. (His eyes... that's all I’m saying.)

5. Being the unintentional wrench in a seemingly perfect engagement.

6. Participating in the wittiest banter battles of my life. (With Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome, no less.)

7. Maybe... just maybe... reconsidering where my heart truly lies.

**Fitzwilliam Darcy**

I pride myself on being the responsible Darcy. But responsibility gets a tad complicated when Elizabeth Bennet storms back into our lives.

This week’s unforeseen complications:

1. Trying to keep my wayward brother, George, on the straight and narrow. (Impossible.)

2. Watching Elizabeth, with her sparkling eyes and razor-sharp wit, aim for George’s heart. (Torture.)

3. Reminding myself I'm trying to keep her away for George’s own good. (A lie I keep telling myself.)

4. Finding it increasingly challenging to keep my distance. (Why does she have to be so... captivating?)

5. Becoming entangled in a mess of love, loyalty, and longing.

6. Wishing, for the first time in my life, that I wasn’t the responsible one.

7. Realizing that perhaps it's my heart that's at stake in this unexpected game of romance.

I didn’t like the narrator his female voices sound a bit like pantomime dames but I persevered. The concept is very different with Lizzy living with the Darcy’s until 13yrs old. There is no Georgiana or Wickham just a second brother… well written, well paced. Worth a listen.

Interesting Vagary but….
