Summary
No woman of my acquaintance has ever inspired a fraction of the admiration that I feel for you.... You are the only woman to ever touch my heart.
Fitzwilliam Darcy has had enough—enough of the ton and their speculations, enough of matchmaking mamas and their eager daughters, and enough of his family’s expectations that he will eventually marry his cousin Anne.
Craving solitude and peace after discovering his sister with George Wickham in Ramsgate, he accepts an invitation to visit Netherfield Park from his friend Charles Bingley and travels to Hertfordshire, where he hopes Georgiana will recover from her disappointment in relative privacy. Thinking only that his sister might have the good fortune to make a friend there, the last thing Mr. Darcy expects is to make one himself.
Elizabeth Bennet has never met a man so used to getting his own way as Mr. Darcy, master of Pemberley. Their first meeting is unexpected, their second infuriating, but before the evening ends, they make peace with one another, and an unlikely friendship is forged.
But friendship with a man like Mr. Darcy, who soon shows Elizabeth there is more to him than his wealth, reserve, and haughty manners, comes with a steep price—her heart. Will their friendship turn into romance, despite Darcy’s professed disinterest in matrimony, or is friendship all they are ever destined to share?
The Luxury of Silence is a variation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and will be enjoyed by fans of friends-to-lovers romantic tales.

Enjoyable Listen
Interesting variation on the original, made more enjoyable by the brilliant narration of Stevie Zimmerman, who brings all P&P variations to life.

A different JAFF
I can't decide whether the Americanisations are for the American market or the errors of American authors.
Tea is served with milk and not cream. The Anglican Church has vicars and not pastors. Etc etc.
Past perfect tense also seems to be ignored where it is applicable.
The story is different from the usual JAFF; pleasant but not memorable.

Very endearing. I appreciate the slight spin on the original. A bit slow at some parts but I would still highly recommend.

No angst all goodness
Enjoyed it but a little bit slow & wordy in places. The writing was a bit weird in places, changing subject but not paragraph. The fabulous Stevie Zimmerman saved the day but she would just finish a sentence & the next would be about a different time & place without a pause.
