Without Pride and Prejudice

De: Jennifer Peel

Narrado por: Stephanie Rose, Will Watt

Can their love conquer pride and prejudice?

Ever since I first read Pride and Prejudice at twelve years old, I’ve dreamed of being Elizabeth Bennet. That dream is now about to come true. I, Monroe Wilde, the woman some could argue isn’t exactly Elizabeth Bennet material, have been chosen to play the beloved heroine for one week at Pride and Prejudice Park, a destination experience for Jane Austen devotees. To make this dream even more amazing and surreal, my best friend, the Duke of Blackthorne, Alastair Fitzroy, has volunteered to play my Mr. Darcy.

If this wasn’t fantastic enough, it appears my broody and ridiculously attractive best friend, who I’ve done my best not to fall in love with, wants to be my real-life Mr. Darcy as well. But there are some gigantic obstacles standing in our way. For starters—I’m not exactly duchess material, and we run in very different circles. Dating me would most certainly make him a social pariah. But the biggest problem of all is that, well . . . I don’t know exactly how to explain it, but somehow after a horrible mishap at the park, I find myself more than just pretending to be Elizabeth Bennet—I land smack dab in the middle of the actual Pride and Prejudice story.

So since I’m here and unsure whether it’s a dream or if Pride and Prejudice really is heaven, I figure I’ll just help move things along and make sure everyone gets a happy ending, even Mr. Collins. But leave it to me to mess up the quintessential love story of all time. What happens if I can’t get Mr. Darcy to fall in love with Elizabeth? Will I ever get back to Alastair? Will I ever become the Elizabeth I so wish to be? And I have to wonder: can my world exist without Pride and Prejudice?

USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Peel presents an enchanting friends-to-lovers story with a Pride and Prejudice twist.

BINGE WORTHY

First off, just make sure you have a whole day of nothing so that you can binge listening to this book while doing house work. Absolutley amazing! The dual narrator aspect made this book COME TO LIFE. I loved the was each. narrator took the character and made the story feel like you were right there with them.

This book has everything. The perfect meet up. The perfect setting. The perfect banter. The perfect opposites. Everything made me want to keep listening but also left me wanting SO much more. This book is for everyone. Take a day, grab your headphones, take a drink, and sit in the sun and read this book. You will NOT regret it.

Dreamiest narrator! Sooo good

OH! WOW!!! You guys, I binged this book so fast!!! It is so dang good!! So good, that I started the audio literally 3 days after finishing haha and the narrator for Fitz 🫠👌😍🫠 His voice reminds a bit of Dan Stevens, and I melted a little every time he talked hahaha

This book starts with the most adorable meet cute ever, and you get a little glimpse into how Monroe and Fitz started their friendship.

Duke Alastair Fitzroy is the grump to Monroe’s sunshine. He is the sense to her silly. Opposites attract in the best way possible and I LOVED it. She tends to draw attention to herself because of all the mishaps she finds herself in, and he has the eye of everyone because of his title and his dashing good looks.
The surprise in the middle of this book totally took me by surprise, and it was fabulous.

Seriously loved this book. I didn’t want to put it down. It’s available now so don’t miss out on it. I highly recommend the audio.

Content warnings: a couple of mild swears

Pride and Prejudice has never been so swoony!

I absolutely loved this story and the audiobook version was a true delight! We are talking yummy yummy romance. I loved both Monroe and Fitz; the dual POV just gave so much depth and added to the romance for me. I loved Peel’s twist on Pride and Prejudice and how original everything felt. It was a super cute and fun story. Will Watt knocked it out of the park with Fitz’s accent and honestly, he can narrate Fitz taking Duke to me any day. Stephanie Rose continues to shine in her performance of Peel’s heroines and I couldn’t have asked for a better combo to bring to life this story. It’s a beautifully done audiobook and I fully recommend it!
