Summary
Love is not the simple thing that novels and poetry speak of. It is by turns subtle and overwhelming. It may slip silently into your heart, or strike like a bolt of lightning.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Elizabeth Bennet is the wittiest lady in Hertfordshire, and her sister Jane is the most beautiful. Their other qualities, however, are less widely recognised, even by those who profess to love them.
Disappointed by Mr Bingley’s sudden departure, Jane escapes the tumult of Longbourn for the Gardiners’ house in London. Elizabeth, vexed by her own romantic debacle with Mr. Darcy, and in possession of distressing intelligence which could endanger their family and neighbors in Meryton, soon joins her there from Kent.
When a family crisis causes them to extend their stay in Cheapside, a new acquaintance—handsome and titled—brings the Bennet sisters to the attention of London society and returns them to the company of Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley. One man finds himself with a rival for his lady’s affections, while the other struggles to make amends for the mistakes of the past.
As Elizabeth questions her rejection of the master of Pemberley and Jane begins to open her heart, can the qualities that most matter—intelligence, integrity, humor, and kindness—be recognized by the men who truly love and respect them?

Very good
It's lovely that Jane is the main character and that she is depicted as intelligent in addition to being beautiful and serene. I loved the Earl of Lyfford. Excellent narration as always from Stevie Zimmerman.

Pleasing tale with Jane Bennet getting her moment
I actually think I vaguely remember reading this story in print form/online ages ago.
Very good original characters, lots of the Gardiners. Jane doesn't feature much in most Austen fanfic, nice to see her shine. Not sure the Bennet parents' reformation was entirely likely but loved seeing Caroline Bingley getting her comeuppance.

Wonderful 😍
I listen to audiobooks in English but I'm Italian so bare with me... I really liked this Jane, I usually like stories of Elisabeth and Darcy but this smart and kind Jane was a treasure, finally not the dumb but pretty sister, but a real person with some backbone. Stevie is always a pleasure to listen to, can't go wrong with her. I raccomand this book.

Very enjoyable
This is a great variation. I begin to like Jane Bennet more than I ever used to. Poor Lydia though, whose fate goes to the opposite extreme here, and she is regularly sent back to the nursery. Wonderful narrator.
