For you cleanreaders: this one does have a bit of mature content.

I really enjoyed this audiobook, Cited as a new version Pride and Prejudice by many people, I had never read it so i can't comment on any similarities, I can say that this historical romance had me enthralled from the opening scene where Elizabeth is demonstrating her independence to the ending where everything turns out as it should.
What happens in between is romantic, exciting, and funny, The language is true to the time and the characters are captivating and engaging, The narrator is expert at create a multitude of representations to further enhance the characters,

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review, This was an wonderful retelling of the beloved 'Pride and Prejudice' that we all know so well, It can be hard to find a story that is not only well written but rewrites the story in such a way that the events that come to pass are a surprise, rather than a well known part of the story.


Darcy was wonderfully written, still in the manner that Austen created him but also more outwardly feeling because of the different circumstances that come to pass in this novel.
Elizabeth was also very well done, true to her character and also a more worldly woman who has had a whole separate life before meeting Darcy,

All in all, a very good novel and I would recommend it to anyone who desires to read a PampP retelling, This is definitely my favourite P, O. Dixon book so far. I enjoyed the story between Darcy and Ben, it was so sweet!

I had my conflicts about the Elizabeth, Darcy and George Collins triangle, I was obviously in support of the canon couple, but I couldn't help but think how mad I would be if it was a Elizabeth, Darcy and Caroline triangle with Caroline acting as Darcy was in this book.
I'm glad what happened in Kent did,

I was satisfied with Anne's story line, but disappointed with Jane's and Mr, Bennet! I so loved this book, there were times where I actually got teary,

This is an off canon revisit of P amp P where Lizzy is a widow with a small child before she meets Darcy, She is living with her parents and sisters and is facing difficult choices, She recently became engaged to Mr, Collins, the elder brother of Rev, Collins. She is doing what is best for her son but not her heart, She and her father have fallen out and she feels friendless and insecure,

The relationship between Darcy and Lizzy's son is just so sweet and thoughtful he a man who lost his father showing kindness to a little boy who has suffered the same.
This is bookin Dixon's Darcy and the Young Knight's Quest series which is a take on the classic Pride and Prejudice, I don't consider myself a super fan of the classic but of the twist on this classic I've listened to or read thus far I believe this has been my favorite.
A well written, excellently narrated read that flows beautifully, Amazing characters the intro of Ben's character in this read as well as the twist on the classic of Camelot make this a completely enchanting read / listen from start to finish!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

this review is based on the audio version He Tau

Different Pride and Prejudice variation than I've read, Lizzy married early to a young wealthy man, Randall Carlton, in her surrounding area that grown up with each other, Her father was not happy about this marriage, because he thought she was too young, and her young man is definitely too young at nineteen, He says he has not had time to show his wild oats, and when he leaves her she will not be welcomed back to Longbourn.

Another great P. O. Dixon's Pride and Prejudice variation,
He Taught Me to Hope: Darcy and the Young Knight's Quest is a delightful alternative telling of how Elizabeth and Darcy meet and eventually fall in love, The story starts with Elizabeth marrying a young man of a wealthy family at age, Soon after, Elizabeth is widowed andmonths later she gives birth to a healthy baby boy whom she names Ben, Flash forward five years when Elizabeth returns to Longbourn after the death of her fatherinlaw, At the behest of her father, Elizabeth becomes engaged to Mr, Collins out of a sense of duty to provide a future for her mother and

sisters, and to secure a father figure for Ben,

Ben is simply adorable! He's imaginative and wise beyond his years, Ben's favorite past time is exploring the woods around Longbourn, On one such exploration he meets Mr, Darcy. Ben introduces himself as Sir Lancelot and Darcy plays along and says that he is King Arthur, Darcy's relationship with Ben is endearing, He lets Ben be imaginative, and basically falls in love with Ben before he realizes that Ben is Elizabeths son,

Like in Jane Austen's book, Darcy and Elizabeth meet at the Meryton Assembly, Their eyes meet across the crowded room and both of them feel an instant attraction, Throughout most of the book Darcy tries to persuade Elizabeth that Mr, Collins is all wrong for her, and after her broken engagement, Darcy persuades her to marry him, Darcy's feelings for Elizabeth never waiver and are steadfast,

I listened to the Audible version of this story narrated by Pearl Hewitt, She did an outstanding job, providing distinct and consistent voices for all characters, young and old, Pearl's narration certainly contributed to my enjoyment of this book, Great job! ed for Indie Jane,

I gave this,stars. As a young seventeen yr old, Elizabeth Bennet marries her childhood sweetheart against her fathers wishes, This is how this PampP alternative starts out, Unfortunately Elizabeth's happiness is not to be and she is widowed after onlymo of marriage, The result of this marriage is a little boy named Bennet Charlton and the story resumes a few years later, This is where the real story begins, Elizabeth is now back at Longbourne and Netherfield is finally let, The story and the journey is wonderful, We find that Willaim Collins has an older brother and he is not so odiousor not, anyway the story diviates from here, Lizzy is to save the Bennet's by marrying the older Mr Collins, Of course we meet the Bingleys at Netherfield with Mr Darcy in residence, You will recognise the story with a little changes and I think the changes are wonderful especially getting to know little Bennet, This story was wonderful and by far my favorite by this author, A definite must read. A delightful read, my favourite from P, O. Dixon!
In He Taught Me to Hope, Elizabeth marries a young man of a wealthy family, Only a month after the wedding, Elizabeth is a widow, Thankfully, in that short time together, she has conceived a child and gives birth to a beautiful baby boy, Ben, Elizabeth continues to live with her fatherinlaw until his death, Then she and Ben return to Longbourn to live, Sadly, Mr. Bennet, never approving of Elizabeth's marriage, treats her like a stranger,

To secure the future for her mother and sisters, as well as for Ben, Elizabeth agrees to marry Mr, Collins. It is an arranged marriage, but Liz felt it would be good for her and Ben, Then one night, at the Meryton Assembly, she sees Mr, Darcy for the first time, As he is walking through the crowd their eyes meet, and Lizzy feels as if she were staring into the eyes of her soul mate, The attraction is just as strong for Darcy, and he is enchanted with Elizabeth,

I love how Darcy is trying to woo Elizabeth away from Mr, Collins. He is hoping she will see how they are meant to be together and how wrong Mr, Collins is for both her and Ben, He has a strong ally in Ben, who loves Darcy!

Ben is adorable! Darcy and Ben meet in the woods, Ben introduces himself as Sir Lancelot and believes Darcy is King Arthur, I love how Darcy treats Ben, He lets Ben be imaginative, and doesnt try to stifle that, I also love that Darcy falls in love with both Elizabeth and Ben before he finds out that Ben is Elizabeths son,

I wasn't happy with Jane in this story, She is not the positive, “seeing only the good in everything” person she usually is, She is afraid for her future, afraid shell never find a husband and is bitter toward Elizabeth and all her suitors, I would have liked to see Elizabeth's and Jane's relationship restored, It felt incomplete.

He Taught Me to Hope is a fun Pride and Prejudice adaptation! I loved the whole King Author aspect, .
