Summary
Taken from her home as a young child, Elizabeth Bennet’s sense of self is shaken when the mystery behind her true identity is unraveled. Discovering her place as the daughter of a duke, she confronts reclaimed memories of her brutal abduction, while making her way in the alien world of Regency England’s high society.
Facing the ton is the least of her concerns, as her kidnappers remain determined to keep her from Fitzwilliam Darcy - the man who first professed his love by proposing she become his mistress. Humbled by her refusal, he returns to win her love and respect.
Together with her reunited family, Elizabeth faces her greatest challenges to both her life and her heart - reclaiming herself and finding her happiness.

Overly convoluted plot
This book started off well & I enjoyed the first half. Unfortunately, it just keeps going & going & going with way too many irrelevant subplots and way too many characters that it was only through sheer determination that I finished it.
There is lots of excitement & action, but after a while, it was just too much & way over the top & much of it didn’t even fit or serve much of a purpose. I had a hard time getting through this.
The narration was excellent. I've listened to many Stevie Zimmerman narrations and as always, she did provided a very pleasing voice to the story.

Very clever adaptation.
I enjoyed this story very much. it was a refreshing alternative and very skillfully included the much loved characters in new ways into the story. Nice long book brought to life by my favourite narrator. A joy to listen to when walking my dog. would highly recommend.

Intriguing what-if
An intriguing, well-written what-if with just the right amount of drama and suspense. The narration is lively and fits the tone of the story well.

Couldn't get through the book
First of, Stevie Zimmerman is a wonderful narrator, so I have no complaints about the narration.
However, the book itself... As someone else said, the story started out well, but all of a sudden there was an influx of new characters, to a degree where it seemed Elizabeth and Darcy were the only characters originally from P&P. I certainly don't mind the introduction of new characters in JAFF, but in this one, I got a little overwhelmed and ultimately completely disinterested because there were so many new characters to keep track of and relate to. It seemed Elizabeth was completely drowned in new characters and, because of the plot, all of a sudden it was no longer Elizabeth Bennet, who I know and love, but some random woman who happened to have the same name (and not even that, cause she was kidnapped as a kid and all)... I ended up returning this book, as it just didn't manage to capture and keep my interest long enough for me to actually finish it.
