Pride & Prejudice meets Groundhog Day

This low angst story is about the repeated efforts that Mr. Darcy goes through to marry Elizabeth Bennet.
Darcy has to deal with all the extraneous distractions, mainly people, that get in the way of courting Elizabeth.

Many tropes are indulged, many arts and allurements are employed, and annoying relatives are given short shrift.

Unabashedly Happy Ever After.

P&P meets Groundhog Day. Everyone gets what is coming to them!! Jane in my opinion has a better than original outcome .

Enjoyable

I really liked this story, but the virtual voice hurts performance. Having a real narrator with changes in voice would make this better.
The story overall was an interesting concept. If we could only turn back time and correct our mistakes. I really liked it.

Interesting story

Following the disastrous proposal at Hunsford Darcy finds himself in a time loop after wishing for another chance to change his situation with Elizabeth Bennet. Darcy is not immediately successful but it is fun to watch him act out when he realizes he will have to begin all over again.

This is a whimsical, romantic and funny story.

Honestly good. Darcy goes through all the growth we don't see in Jane Austin's original work. Darcy is 100% the main character. Bad/Neglectful Mr. Bennet, sadly ignorant Mrs. Bennet. Villians are delt with satisfactorily, some "off screen". Jane's HEA makes more sense than the original work. The second epiloge would make for an awesome new book.

This Virtual Voice isn't bad. I listen on 1.25x speed so it sounds more organic to my ears.

Author makes some Great Retorts for Darcy to give Caroline Bingley and Lydia. The VV was better than usual.
