Virtual voice is computer-generated narration for audiobooks.
Elizabeth Bennet has led a peaceful life at her family's estate of Longbourn. Then she met the handsome Fitzwilliam Darcy at the Meryton assembly. Rather than being sullen, Darcy realized from the start that there was something special about the young lady.

Her world was about to be turned upside down with the revelation of her true parents, and the person who wanted them dead. Only, her parents' deaths did not discourage the man who hated her birth father, who had spurned the man's sister. Wanting to discover Elizabeth's whereabouts, Baron Frances would stop at nothing to claim her as if she was his sister's child. In this story, Darcy's parents are alive.

Will the Darcys be willing to assist in protecting Elizabeth from being taken to the continent? Will they accept her and the truth of her past? Or will Elizabeth be taken away, forced to live a life not of her own choosing? Regency Historical Historical Fiction

Trigger warning for some physical abuse.

As I have said in previous reviews, the virtual voice needs work. It takes me out of the story as I laugh at the mispronounced words during serious moments.

There are big switches with some characters missing and many others brought in. Get a whiteboard to follow who everyone is. ODC gets their HEA.

Elizabeth is raised by the Bennetts, but is not their daughter. She is told her true identity near her 20th birthday.

She and Darcy still meet at an assembly, but he loves her instantly. This story brings intrigue, foreign plots to kidnap, threat of danger, and much love. Caroline is dangerous but laughable at her attempts to marry Darcy, but gets her own surprise HEA.

Everyone is rational - except the BBEG, no Wickham, no screeching Mrs. Bennett, no Collins or Lady C.

I am convinced that Bella Breen is the pen name for a writing class, and all these books are projects from students. This particular one repeats information MANY times. The character will think it, then say it.

I listen to the author, and any virtual voice when I want to laugh and escape my own worries for a few hours

Interesting Twist, Trigger warning ⚠️

I enjoyed this book and listened to it twice. Darcy and Elizabeth were attracted to each other immediately. There was not an annoying Mrs Bennett or Wickham, or Lady Catherine or Rev Collins to deal with. The villains were Caroline and Elizabeth’s natural father.

Mostly good! There’s a few mispronunciations and some natural pauses that are a little distracting. But it doesn’t take away from the story in my opinion. The cadence also needs to be adjusted in the AI voice. Otherwise the soft spoken voice is pleasant and not robotic at all! I’m impressed by that!

This is a really nice rendition of one of Jane Austen’s loved story. Although it doesn’t match any of her stories, this is an ice rendition.
As AI reads it, there is lack of proper inflections at the appropriate points making it confusing as to who is talking. But it’s a nice story.
