Summary
“Love at first sight” is a laughable concept in the considered opinion of Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam and never occurs in real life—certainly not in the life of an experienced soldier. In fact, until he observes the smitten nature of his cousin Fitzwilliam Darcy, he doubts that fervent love exists. Marriage, after all, is a matter of money, social standing, and property.
But his cousin becomes besotted with Elizabeth Bennet, the lovely but penniless daughter of a Hertfordshire gentleman, and is determined to make her his wife. Unfortunately, emotions overwhelm his good judgment, and he botches an offer of marriage.
When the colonel attempts to untangle the mess, his own world becomes almost as chaotic when he makes the accidental acquaintance of Miss Jane Bennet, Elizabeth’s beloved eldest sister. Can emotions previously deemed impossible truly seize such a level-headed person as himself? And can impassible obstacles deter a man of true determination?

It started off so well but some situations were just ludicrous.
Elizabeth's behaviour was immature, prejudiced and arrogant for a large part of the book before she decides that she loves Darcy. Then she's all sweetness and light.
The narrator's female voices are dreadfully nasal and I found some of his pronunciations a bit odd.

Very enjoyable
As usual the story by this author was perfect, as was the narration - apart from a slight problem with the editing in a couple of places in the early chapters where speeches seemed to run over each other.
I have several audio books by CP Odom - one of my favourite authors - and I always enjoy Christopher Jarvis’s narrations so this was a great combination.
