About this listen
“If the thought of us being destined for one another is what caused you to laugh, then I shall laugh with you. Ours is more a story of mutual desperation than of love.”
Matrimony is the last thing on Elizabeth Bennet’s mind when she arrives at Netherfield Park to tend to her ill sister. When proud Mr. Darcy acts rashly to thwart a compromise and tells her that the entire household believes they are engaged, she dismisses him outright and refuses his offer of marriage.
But more surprises await her at Longbourn. Mr. Collins is ready with an offer of marriage, and it is not only her mother who thinks it a fine match; Mr. Bennet is willing to press the point until Elizabeth makes clear such a connection is impossible - because she has accepted an offer of marriage from Mr. Darcy.
It is an inauspicious beginning, an engagement neither desires, driven to by the machinations of others. Yet what begins as a forced alliance soon changes into something quite different. Will it be enough to lead them into love?

So desperate, that he lies to his friend, Charles Bingley, claiming he is betrothed to Elizabeth Bennet, who happens to be visiting the house.
She has never liked Mr Darcy and refuses his officious proposal – “I find it necessary that we should marry!”
However, on returning to her home, she discovers that both of her parents are determined that she marry her cousin, Mr Collins.
He is the heir to her family’s estate, stupid and physically repellent. Elizabeth's only escape is to tell her father that she has accepted Mr Darcy.
From this beginning of an engagement to the least, worst option, Elizabeth and Darcy must try to carve out a happy future.
This is wonderful book with angst, passion, misunderstandings, love and acceptance.
Stevie Zimmerman does a wonderful job narrating.

The conclusion was not rushed which was satisfying. You have a insight into married life for the Darcys for a couple of chapters at least.
The narrator voice was pleasant. However, the speed between key paragraphs where you moved through at time were treated as if you had just begun a new sentence and this was confusing when you had to adjust to a week ahead or an important event began to be described. Maybe this could reflect a fault with the author too but it is split into chapters. The last paragraph of the book did not need a new chapter but it again it needed a slight space to indicate a new paragraph from the previous paragraph. I would not let this prevent you from purchasing this book though. Do enjoy.
Excellent story
