Mr. Darcy's Fault

A Pride and Prejudice Vagary Novella

By: Regina Jeffers, a Lady

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

What if an accident prevents Elizabeth Bennet from reading Mr. Darcy’s letter of apology? What if said letter goes missing and ends up in the hands of George Wickham? What if Mr. Wickham plans to use the evidence of both Georgiana Darcy’s ruination and Darcy’s disdain for the Bennets to his benefit? How will Darcy counter Wickham’s plans and claim happiness with Elizabeth Bennet? When he notices his long-time enemy in the vicinity of Hunsford Cottage, FITZWILLIAM DARCY means to put an end to an assignation between ELIZABETH BENNET and Mr. Wickham, but Darcy is not prepared for the scene which greets him in Rosings Woods. Elizabeth lies injured and crumpled beneath one of trees, and in order to save her, by Society’s standards, Darcy must compromise Elizabeth. Needless to say, Darcy does not mind claiming Elizabeth to wife, but what of the lady’s affections? Can Darcy tolerate Elizabeth’s emotions being engaged elsewhere? Compelled into an engagement she least desires, Elizabeth Bennet thinks it impossible she could ever care for the arrogant Mr. Darcy, but the man proves more irresistible than Elizabeth first assumes. Yet, just when Elizabeth begins to believe happiness is within their grasps, Mr. Wickham reappears in her life with a “proposal” Elizabeth cannot refuse, and it is all Mr. Darcy’s fault.

Good plot, Virtual Voice a MISS

This would be a better story with a human that is able to tell the difference between words with similar or same spelling that mean something different in context. Like present, as in a gift, and present, as in the introduce someone or be in the room, etc.

If you just need a JAFF Fix, this is okay, but don’t waste a credit or spend ANY money.

Mr Darcy on purpose compromises Lizzy .

Mr Darcy on purpose compromises Lizzy . And then the rest of the book is spent convincing us that this was a good thing for him to do.

Something is off with the writing

The American accent doesn't help. I can't put my finger on what is so off.

Elizabeth is repulsive

This Elizabeth is arrogant and snarky. She also does not have any grace. This is a time when I wish Darcy would have just said, "Forget it - goodbye" to Elizabeth.
