About this listen
In love with his brother's betrothed...
As far as Fitzwilliam Darcy is concerned, the only good thing to come of Elizabeth Bennet’s bitter refusal of his heart and his hand was his new resolve to prove himself a better man. He’d done it, too, by closing the painful distance between himself and his estranged younger brother, Drew. And now Drew is newly engaged to be married…to Elizabeth Bennet.
Family duty forces Darcy to support the engagement, especially since even the smallest hint of disapproval could ruin the brothers’ hard-won reconciliation. But how can he bear to watch his brother marry the woman he loves? To see her in Drew’s arms, bearing Drew’s children, and forever out of his reach?
An Accidental Compromise...
Elizabeth has no choice but to accept an engagement to handsome Drew Darcy. He’s amiable, educated, and respectable, and if it weren’t for his last name, she wouldn’t even mind the idea. But to marry the brother of the gentleman she’d so coldly rejected only months before? Especially now that she realizes her feelings for him are far from sisterly. How can she marry Drew while longing for his brother? But the cost of breaking her engagement would be ruination, and with it, the loss of any hope of a life with Darcy.
Trapped by loyalty, love, and propriety, there is no way out. But old family secrets haunt the two Darcy brothers. Could those secrets, when brought out in the open, change everything?
This intensely emotional variation on Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice will make you fall in love with Elizabeth and Darcy all over again.

Story
When Fitzwilliam Darcy, still smarting from Elizabeth’s rejection, discovers she was forced to flee her home in disgrace owing to his actions, his course is clear. He must marry her. It is a matter of honor. All he has to do is find her and propose. Surely that will be simple enough. But Elizabeth does not want to be found, especially not by Darcy. From the moment he entered her life, he has caused disaster after disaster. Now he has followed her all the way to Scotland, foolishly certain it is within his power to fix all her problems. But far more is at stake than Darcy knows.

Story
"It is the way of the world, Elizabeth. Men hold power over women, but I am not a man who wants to wield such power. I would prefer a woman who has some power over me". Fitzwilliam Darcy already has one arranged marriage in his past. The last thing he envisions for himself is another, yet he has somehow become entrapped in a promise to a dying man. Not only must Darcy overcome his resentment in order to live up to his sense of honour, but when he realises how deeply his heart may be engaged, he must convince Elizabeth Bennet of his true feelings.

Orphaned and alone in the world, Elizabeth Bennet has found reasonable contentment as a companion to the dowager countess of Matlock, the affairs of 1811 and Fitzwilliam Darcy long forgotten. But the past intrudes upon her again, and Mr. Darcy returns to her, handsome, wealthy, and widowed, and hiding many secrets beneath his solemn exterior. But if time had altered their circumstances, one thing remains: Mr. Darcy still wishes to marry her, and this time, Elizabeth consents.

Story
“Mr Darcy, I am eager to hear your explanation for the fact that quite a few people believe we are engaged.” It starts with a bit of well-meant advice. Colonel Fitzwilliam suggests to his cousin Darcy that, before he proposes to Elizabeth Bennet in Kent, perhaps he ought to discuss his plans with their families first. What neither man could have predicted however was that Lord Matlock would write the news to his sister, or that Viscount Saye would overhear and tell his friends, or that his friends might slip a little and let their friends know as well.

Favorite author Anne favorite story!
Love this P&P variation, the ones who get in the way the most of ODC’s love are themselves. The villain is pride and the resolution is love, just as in the original story.

Enjoyed the story line
Enjoy the book. It kept me waiting to find out what would happen next. No dull periods I was always waiting to hear how each new person will fit in the story. It was a surprise.
All the love scenes were done tastefully.
Waiting for the next listen.

Genius plot
Another great P&P variation by Abigail Reynolds. Clever and original plot with good doses of angst. The story and characters are well developed . However that last 1/3 -1/4 of the story was rushed and not as skillfully executed as the first 2/3 of the story.

Absolutely adored this book.
This was a great story as always from Abigail Reynolds. I have been a fan of hers since 2004. Love listening to Elizabeth Klett as she is very skilled at narrating. Highly recommend this book to a Jane Austen fan fiction lover.

Wonderful story
This was a great story! Full of strong characters and their foes! I love the idea that Darcy had a brother and that poor forgotten Mary finds happiness! This is a must read!

Un-put-downable!
Very good narration and excellent story. Highly recommend. Abigail Reynolds never disappoints and this book is no exception.
Book Review:
The story begins three months after Elizabeth refuses Darcy’s proposal. We learn Darcy has an estranged younger brother, Andrew, who has recently accepted the living at Kympton after Darcy offers it. Just as Darcy is hoping to now repair their relationship and bring him back into the family fold, he receives the shock of his life. Andrew is engaged—to Elizabeth of all people! Ohhh the angst!
Rather than make Andrew a villain, Ms. Reynolds has made him a good man. He is handsome and educated. We can’t hate him. There is someone we can hate, however, and his name is Wickham. He has a direct role early on, but thankfully, isn’t in the entirety of the story.
This book is an emotional ride. There definitely is angst throughout, but because the author promised her readers a happy ending (benefit of being a Austen Variations member, wink, wink) I wasn’t completely losing my stomach—or my mind—over the ordeal. Darcy’s anguish for his lost love will bring you to tears, as will Elizabeth, as she sees no hope for resolution to a forced marriage to a man she doesn’t love—imagining herself forever in the path of the one man she now wished she could have because he will be family—her brother. If she breaks the engagement, she will be ruined and so will her family and sisters’ prospects.
There are also some Darcy secrets to be discovered, which places an intriguing twist into the storyline, as Lady Anne makes her presence known, even from the grave. Her love story having similarities to the plight of our dearest couple.
How, oh how will this ever be resolved? Ms. Reynolds has gifted us with another very well written, captivating and romantic page turner. It is an absolute must read I definitely recommend! Enjoy it, fellow readers. I’m off to adjust my 2020 top ten Austen variations. Bravo Abigail Reynolds!
Ohhh, I almost forgot. I must say— this book screams for (at a minimum) a novella-type sequel of the voyage, beginning with the wedding night!

My least favorite variation
The story veers so wildly, so very differently from the original that the only similarities are the characters names.
