Story
"You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." When Fitzwilliam Darcy spoke these words to Elizabeth Bennet as part of his marriage proposal, they expressed his concealed feelings completely, but their meaning was at odds with the rest of his prideful and arrogant offer of marriage. It was therefore rather easy for Elizabeth to reject his offer in much the same manner. But what if Darcy, never one at ease when trying to speak of inner sentiments, had realized beforehand how his intended proposal would sound to the young woman he hoped to make his bride?

One of the turning points in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is Miss Elizabeth Bennet's passionate refusal and denunciation of the equally passionate but infinitely more repressed Fitzwilliam Darcy. However, unforeseen events can lead to the most unexpected consequences. During a visit with her friend, Charlotte Collins, at Hunsford, Elizabeth falls prey to illness for almost the first time in her life just as Mr. Darcy comes to call. Befuddled by her illness, she misinterprets his proposal of marriage, and a simple nod of acknowledgment is mistaken for acceptance.

Story
Is not the very meaning of love that it surpasses every objection against it? Jilted. Never did Mr. Darcy imagine it could happen to him. But it has, and by Elizabeth Bennet, the woman who first hated and rejected him but then came to love him - he believed - and agree to be his wife. Alas, it is a short-lived, ill-fated romance that ends nearly as soon as it has begun. No reason is given. More than a year since he last saw her - a year of anger, confusion, and despair - he receives an invitation from the Bingleys to a house party at Netherfield.

Story
“Mr Darcy, I am eager to hear your explanation for the fact that quite a few people believe we are engaged.” It starts with a bit of well-meant advice. Colonel Fitzwilliam suggests to his cousin Darcy that, before he proposes to Elizabeth Bennet in Kent, perhaps he ought to discuss his plans with their families first. What neither man could have predicted however was that Lord Matlock would write the news to his sister, or that Viscount Saye would overhear and tell his friends, or that his friends might slip a little and let their friends know as well.

Fitzwilliam Darcy takes his responsibilities seriously. He excels in every endeavor he pursues and upholds the highest standards, and he has little patience for those who flaunt their flaws like the Bennets do. Elizabeth Bennet longs for the toe-curling romance she reads about in novels. She dreams of an honorable man - loyal and generous to the less fortunate...everything Mr. Darcy is not.

Fitzwilliam Darcy is a powerful magician who controls fire, water, and wind. What he cannot control is his growing feelings for Miss Elizabeth Bennet.

Once trapped by marriage to a woman he loathed, Fitzwilliam Darcy is finally free again. Resentful, bewildered, and angry, he is eager to begin his life over - preferably with a woman who is the exact opposite of his wife. He never imagined a short stay in Hertfordshire would bring him face to face with his worst nightmare; a woman similar in face, form, and name. He certainly never expected her to be so impossible to ignore.

Story
Defined as a formal, solemn, and binding agreement or compact, a covenant is commonly used with regard to relations among nations or as part of a contract. But it can also apply to a marriage as Elizabeth Bennet learns when her father binds her in marriage to a man she dislikes. Against her protests that she cannot be bound against her will, the lady is informed that she lives under her father’s roof and, consequently, is under his control. She is a mere pawn in the proceedings. With such an inauspicious beginning, how can two people so joined ever make a life together?
Summary
A Pride and Prejudice Variation
When Mr. Bingley abruptly left Hertfordshire, Jane Bennet’s heart was broken. Since arriving in London to visit her aunt and uncle, Jane has been hoping to encounter Mr. Bingley; however, it becomes clear that his sister is keeping them apart. But what would happen if she took matters into her own hands? Defying social convention, she sets out to alert Mr. Bingley to her presence in London, hoping to rekindle the sparks of their relationship. Bingley is thrilled to encounter Jane and renew their acquaintance, but his sister has told him several lies about the Bennets - and his best friend, Mr. Darcy, still opposes any relationship. As Jane and Bingley sort through this web of deceit, they both find it difficult to maintain their customary equanimity. However, they also discover that sometimes good things happen when Jane gets angry.

Love it
I absolutely love it!!! I wish this could have been added to the original novel. Caroline is such a pain in the a**, what a witch (wait, that’s a complete insult to real witches ;p). I seriously disliked what she had attempted to do, glad it backfired on her. I absolutely love hearing about Charles’ and Janes’ take on the story and to see them together. I hope to hear other like this one.

jane and Bingley get attention
Cute, clean, short, and sweet. While I am a JAFF, there are few books that develop Jane and Bingley beyond whispering with their heads together in the corner of the room. i always find that frustrating and feel authors are amiss in not developing their romance. Finaly, here is an author has seized that opportunity. Some parts are a little far fetched and not true to Regency England, but enjoyable enough that you won't mind. Several characters are glad Jane got angry

An entertaining variation.
This story is an enjiyable variation to listen to. Jane Bennet gets angry and because of her anger does something you would not expect. This leads to more fun happenings. The narrator is excellent and the pace of the story wonderful. A delightful listen.

Good things happens when Jane gets angry
After 3 short hours of listening to Jane Bennet and how she lets her temper get the better of her with Caroline Bingley, I was amazed and beyond pleased with both Stevie’s performance as both Jane and Bingley, and all of their friends and family alike, though the most funny part was definitely the ladies maid who got the whole plot running. Loved it! Loved to see how Jane lost her serene personality for once 🙂

Even a Sweetheart Can Be Pushed Too Far!
I enjoy when minor characters from Jane Austen's novels get their time to shine as the stars and that was particularly so with sweet, soft Jane Bennet from Pride & Prejudice and jovial, generous Charles Bingley in this quick novella. When Jane Got Angry is an apt title. Jane had a wake up moment when haughty social climber Caroline Bingley sat in her aunt's parlor looking disdainfully about and saying words designed to break Jane's heart. The story departed from canon here when Jane chose to be skeptical of Caroline's words and her motive for saying them. Jane does it one better and questions Caroline and forcing her to admit that she might have stretched things and shared more her wishes for her brother than the actual truth. I enjoyed seeing this gentle creature turn her rational mind to what she heard and saw and form the proper conclusions. And, then get properly het up and willing to fight for her own happiness- and that included a confrontation with Mr. Bingley if he was part of this hurtful discovery that he might know she was in London and was snubbing her. It is interesting to see how lives are touched by each person's actions. Because Jane took the bull by the horns, the dominoes fell in quite the different pattern alternating her story and her sister's with Darcy. I had a blast watching it all unfold even if the vixen of this story was quite the selfish piece of work. Now, I did enjoy this one in audio format with the incomparable Stevie Zimmerman voicing Jane and the rest of the cast. I've enjoyed her work before and this time was no exception. Accents, gender, class, and changing scenes were all done fabulously. All in all, this quick and engaging story was a delight from start to finish and I can heartily recommend it to Austen fans and others who enjoy a sweet and quick historical romance.
