Summary
My own folly had endangered me, my preservation I owe to the kindness, the integrity of another....
In 1808, Elizabeth Bennet is young, curious, and in possession of an invitation to a London party which she ought not to attend. Unable to resist the temptation, Elizabeth indulges her wish to see a party of the beau monde and finds herself in a dangerous situation. She is saved from a desperate fate by Mr. Darcy of Pemberley, but relief is short-lived. Mr. Gardiner arrives and demands satisfaction on behalf of his young niece’s honor.
Bound for three years—with no intent to marry on either side—Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth both resolve to do as they must to end their unwanted almost-betrothal. Mr. Bennet, however, refuses to allow it, fearing that Elizabeth’s character will bear a permanent stain that no amount of time or money could erase. Together, Darcy and Lizzy contrive a plan to overcome her father’s reluctance: Darcy will find her someone else to marry, thus relieving himself of the obligation.
The folly of their youth, it seems, might be set to rights after all, until feelings arise which complicate the scheme. But will they realize their true attachment before it’s too late?

Fun twist on the story
Interestingly different premise where Elizabeth was compromised at 16. I enjoyed the setting of Bath, where not many JA fics are set. And it's always a joy to meet Lord Saye - he is such a fun character. Narration was OK although there were some jarring mispronunciations of words.

Excellent
I’m a big fan of P&P variations especially if they’re narrated by the wonderful Ms Zimmerman. However this narrator is new to me & did a fine job indeed. The story offered an unusual twist to other la I’ve read. I highly recommend this this book.

Creative variation
Enjoyable story spoilt a bit by Americanisms. The fight at the end was ridiculous and unnecessary. Good narration.
