He could hardly stop thinking of Elizabeth, and no longer tried to convince himself that he should.
Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy is drawn to Elizabeth Bennet from the day they met, captivated by her cleverness, her charm, and her good humour. While he initially sees only a friendship between them, his feelings for her soon grow more ardent, even while he tries to persuade himself she would be an unsuitable bride. At length, however, his pride and his prejudices must be laid aside; he knows that to be happy in marriage is more important.
Alas, just as he grows certain of his own heart and mind, a problem reveals itself. Mr. William Collins, a cousin of the Bennets who has lived in Longbourn since his boyhood, returns to Hertfordshire. The fondness between Elizabeth and Mr. Collins is clear, and Darcy begins to fear there is an understanding between them. His fears are confirmed by Miss Caroline Bingley, who warns him that the pair are on the brink of matrimony.
A chance encounter when he is visiting his aunt, Lady Catherine, changes everything. Deceptions are uncovered and friendships end, but is it too late for him and the woman he loves?
A Matter of Prudence is a Pride and Prejudice vagary in which mistaken identities and false assumptions complicate the road to true love for Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet.

This was the first audiobook I heard Caius Ashburn narrate and it was an agreeable experience, especially when hearing the female characters, however, the lower tones, namely Mr. Darcy’s sentences were a bit hard to hear while I was commuting, requiring a more silent environment. I would also like to see more inflexion in the dialogues, which sometimes felt flat, but it was still a good narration.
Interesting Twist to P&P

Book Review:
Lucy Marin’s latest novel is a friends-to-lovers story, where Darcy and Elizabeth's initial meeting at the Meryton Assembly is devoid of the infamous insult, allowing them to enjoy a pleasant dance together. Unbeknownst to them, Mr. Bingley and his sister, Caroline, have come to Netherfield with nefarious schemes in mind that will bring hurtful consequences for beloved characters, showcasing this heinous brother and sister act.
As the couple’s friendship blossoms, Darcy overhears vague conversations about William Collins, who was taken in at age twelve by his Bennet family cousins after his father's death. Elizabeth often guides her cousin, leaving Darcy confused and curious about their relationship, especially when rumors circulate about Collins marrying one of the Bennet sisters.
While it is clear that Darcy and Elizabeth will eventually achieve their happily ever after, the author skillfully keeps readers and some characters guessing about the true intentions of Longbourn's heir. This clever writing choice creates anticipation and prolongs the confirmation of the expected outcome.
Despite Darcy's overly prudent nature in this variation, and his temporary rejection of his feelings for Elizabeth, his portrayal in the story resonated with me. When he uncovers the deceit of his so-called friends, he promptly takes action and transforms into an assertive and commanding Darcy and confronts them accordingly. Elizabeth, because she never experiences that insult, never gets her hackles up towards Darcy, although she never expects more from him than friendship because of his position in society. Alas, she must eventually acknowledge he captured her heart with that dance.
The remaining Bennet family members retain their familiar characteristics, although their wildness is toned down in this story. Mr. Collins, despite being somewhat dull, manages to be likable. Colonel Fitzwilliam and Lord Bramwell, in their brief appearances, provide entertaining moments. Even Lady Catherine, while remaining candid and outspoken, displays a more likable side.
I can always count on a generously satisfying read from this author, and this one fits that bill nicely. I highly recommend it.
Clean content with kisses only.
