Some form of devilry has come over Mr. Darcy. Since his father’s death, Fitzwilliam Darcy has endeavored to be reliable, responsible, and restrained. But upon visiting Netherfield Park in Hertfordshire, he finds himself weary of the struggle to be so damnably well regulated and delights in a revival of the carefree mischief that characterized his younger days. What brings on this sudden reversal? Perhaps it is a shocking incident that takes place upon his first entering the neighborhood when he rescues Miss Elizabeth Bennet from the raging current of a rain-swollen stream.

Country pretensions are always in need of squashing, and what better way to make clear he would not partner anyone outside his party? However, when he looks over at her, she does not appear humbled at all. She is secretly laughing at him!

Probably 3.75 Stars From Me
My sister got me started on JAFF, and I’ve read/listened to maybe 10-12 books and short stories. While I don’t have as much experience with this category of fan-fiction as others, I do have a lot of experience with Miss Austen. Her creations are so enduring they allow constant and inventive variations.
This one was more inventive than most. I’ve no idea of J. Dawn King’s experience as a writer, I can only share with you my experience as a reader.
First: the story occasionally jumps ahead as if a couple of pages were omitted. Combine that with with almost every trope of regency fiction: pirates, smugglers, guardians, kidnappings, courtship, etc, etc (minus a runaway carriage and a debutante’s debut) it ends up feeling like I’m reading a serial novel published in a Victorian paper, or a penny dreadful.
Second: the characters are similar on the surface to Austen’s, but not essentially the same. While I suppose this is what allows the plot to develop in a wildly different manner, it didn’t really allow for further character development. This is just a matter of personal taste as I prefer a character driven story, rather than a plot driven one. Mr. Bingley’s character was especially jarring, since he departed most dramatically from Austen’s. In the original P&P he is extremely good natured but not a flirt: he is Jane’s and Jane’s alone. I wish I could ask the author, what did Mr. Bingley ever do to you to deserve this treatment? [joking] In all seriousness though, pretty much every character ends as they began, with the exception of Kitty and Lydia, compliments of boarding school. The transformation in Darcy and Elizabeth’s relationship is fairly quick and has little to do with personal growth and more to do with a simple change in opinion.
So while this is not my cup of tea, others may find it fun and rewarding. Stevie Zimmerman has the right sprightliness for the tone of this book, and whatever else it may lack, it is never boring.

This Duo is always a winner
When I saw J. Dawn King and Stevie Zimmerman it went immediately to the cart and I was not disappointed.
Ms King took the basic recipe of the original and gave it a good twist, threw in a couple of romantic changes, added some extra surprises, a few new crimes for the usual villains, a pinch of danger and adventure, shook it vigorously and served up a very tasty dish.
Top this off with narration by the fabulous Stevie Zimmerman, clear your calendar and sit back and enjoy!

Exciting!
Narrator Stevie Zimmermann played the many parts with her characteristic flair. Joy Dawn King's plot diverges quite significantly from Jane Austen's original Pride and Prejudice. For instance, Lydia and Kitty are sent off to school - Alleluia! Bingley turns out to be a flirt and Mr Collins a heinous lawbreaker! A lot of male dialogue is a worthy new experience in Austenalia. Lizzy and Darcy's sincere love remain at the heart of this energetic story.
