Sparks fly when Miss Elizabeth Bennet takes work as a governess at Pemberley.

Will deceptions, highwaymen, and a rambunctious eleven-year-old girl bring Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy together or tear them apart?

After rejecting Mr. Collins proposal, Miss Elizabeth Bennet assumes the persona of a widow and goes to Lambton to find work. But when she befriends Mr. Darcy's half-sister Rose and becomes her governess, she must contend with Mr. Darcy, a man she wishes to despise, and Col. Richard Fitzwilliam, a man she wants to love but cannot. With Rose's help, will Elizabeth find the strength to follow her heart?

Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy would sooner face bandits than return to Pemberley and deal with his stepmother -- alas, he must do both. And when he discovers Miss Elizabeth Bennet in his home, serving as governess to his half-sister Rose, things go from bad to worse. Col. Fitzwilliam is falling for her. Mr. Darcy is too -- or would be, if Miss Elizabeth were at all suitable. Will Mr. Darcy stop denying his heart before his cousin steals Elizabeth's?

We’ve got precocious children, bandits in forests and love in bloom. It deserves a reader not AI.

Nice rivalry between Darcy and Richard!

This is a situation we can well imagine Miss Elizabeth’s Courage would take, after Mr Bingley & Mr Collins diabolicals to the Bennet family. A wondrous chg in Darcy’s attitude of suffering due to his Pride & Lizzie becoming a Companion a/k/a Governess to Darcy’s 11yr 1/2-Sister! Very cleverly done w/ great humor, kindness, suspense, Richard & Will’s heroism shows right from wrong. Lizzi’s dishonest portrayal of a Widow, experiencing shrinking guilt of her deception..relief at her disclosure. Just a great Listen/Read! Enjoy…

So well executed, the best of AI this Author uses evaporates, the Variation takes flight!

Really enjoyed the story in spite of the virtual voice narration, which truly never conveys the emotions of the characters and situations and is therefore always disappointing especially when the story is so great. It makes me sad because audio books are so convenient for multi-tasking so I listen to the ones that have virtual voice narration anyway KNOWING they will disappoint because I don’t have time to sit down and read the story. In this case I will have to actually READ the book because it was so good and I want to experience it with all the appropriate emotions especially for Darcy and Elizabeth!!!! Besides I always read/ listen to great books over and over again. I just wish I could get Stevie Zimmerman or another great narrator to re-do this story then I could listen over and over vs. re-reading!!!

Excellent story!

Elizabeth is a great governess to a little girl, who is much in need of guidance. However, Darcy does not appreciate Elizabeth at all, in the beginning.

Lovable Elizabeth

Virtual voice is a travesty, a kind of murderer of this surprisingly well-written, intelligent and satisfyingly better-than-usual P&P variation. It deserves better narration. I enjoyed it completely, apart from the wholly inadequate robotic voice.

Quite a satisfying plot
