About this listen

Astounding! Mr. Darcy's baited hook is for Elizabeth Bennet!

In the Regency era, surface appearances of politeness and civility often conceal more intense and hostile activity. More than one wealthy or noble family of seemingly sterling reputation is torn apart and sometimes all but exterminated by savage intra-family feuds.

That situation unexpectedly confronts Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet in Skirmish and Scandal when Darcy’s interest in Elizabeth as a future mistress of Pemberley becomes known to Lady Catherine de Bourgh and her noble Matlock relations. Determined to prevent an affront to the reputation of their aristocratic clan, the most prominent members of the family gather with Lady Catherine to confront Darcy and force him to choose a more suitable wife. The resulting conflict and its aftermath involve furious arguments, abduction, pursuit, and personal clashes that narrowly avert meetings on the field of honor.

How can such emotionally intense and seemingly insurmountable personal conflicts between the couple result in an amorous resolution?

It is a rather good story. The narration was excellent as Miss Zimmerman always does a wonderful job.

my only real problem with this variation is the author throwing the notion of propriety completely out the window. It did not sit well with me how they "sealed" their betrothal.

Other than that I really enjoyed the story. I especially liked how much we saw of the dear Colonel and how Jane got a very happy ending without her canon suitor.

Well written, but lacking in a few places. And I do agree with some other reviews, stating that the ending felt rushed.

With that said, I will not discourage others from reading this book. If you have read many JAFF's like I have, then I do believe you will enjoy this book.
