Darcy stared into the pitch-black interior of the carriage, wishing for the thousandth time that he had never sent Bingley back to Hertfordshire.

April 1812. Miss Elizabeth Bennet, headstrong and usually self-assured, returns home to Longbourn chastened and confused after a surprising marriage proposal from Mr Darcy, a man she thought she despised. When Mr Bingley arrives soon afterwards, sent by his friend Darcy to resume his romantic attentions to Elizabeth's beloved sister Jane, Elizabeth begins to feel something like regret for the man she so cruelly spurned.

The once proud Fitzwilliam Darcy, thoroughly humbled by the rejection of his suit and resolved to become a man worthy of the woman he loves, sets about righting all the wrongs of which Elizabeth has accused him. But when terrible news reaches him from Hertfordshire, it becomes apparent that encouraging the capricious Charles Bingley to return to Meryton might just be the worst decision the master of Pemberley has ever made.

Having assumed their own actions have ruined all hope of reconciliation, Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy soon learn they have greater troubles to overcome when betrayal of the worst sort threatens to forever ruin their chances of happiness.

Mistaken is a novel-length Pride and Prejudice variation set in Regency England.

I’ve read the book and listened to the audiobook repeatedly. It features one of the very best voice actors. This book is long, so you get a lot of story for your money, and it’s so well written and crafted. A++++

One of the best JAFF hands down!

I really enjoyed this book. It could have kept going and going and I wouldn't have minded. So much happens in this book, I find it difficult to write a decent review.

First of all, the reviews helped me choose to read this book. Also I fell in love with Arthur Rowan from The Bachelor Darcy and he was so good here too. I have listened to so many variations now that it is difficult to find my next favorite. There are so many duds. I love when ODC spent a lot of time together and Darcy is smitten with Elizabeth.

In this story, Bingley goes back to Hertfordshire, but since Jane isn't showing the love, his eyes start to turn toward Elizabeth.
ODC spends a lot of the time married together. They deal with jealousy and angst from Jane and coveting of Lizzie from Bingley. I loved that Darcy and Elizabeth were in their own world but others saw what they wanted to see.

I'm sorry but I cannot believe that Elizabeth and Darcy could ever feel comfortable around Jane and Bingley again. I really loved when Darcy finally found out that Bingley was in love with Elizabeth and lost it with him. Especially when he found out that Bingley fathered a child with the maid who looks like Elizabeth.

There is angst especially at the beginning but it is not super heavy and you get to see Darcy and Elizabeth together for a good portion of the book which I love. I also love that ODC continue to support each other through rumors, issues, and family. I will definitely listen to this again. This book is so well written by Jessie Lewis. It kicked off a run of listening to more books by this author. And please, Arthur Rowan, narrate more Pride and Prejudice variations.

One of my favorites..

Wow. The narrator was perfect. No silly voices that annoy you. The storyline was different as Jane was horrible to Lizzy because of jealousy. It made for a great book. I always wanted a story with a bad Jane and this was great. Not to worry Jane returns to herself after she realizes it’s her fault and not Lizzy’s. Darcy is a strong caring husband with a wicked sense of humor that Elizabeth appreciates.

A great audio book

This was a wonderful book!It kept my attention from start to finish.Mr Darcy is married to Lizzy,which is the crux of everything in the book. Arthur Rowan was the perfect narrator.His voices,even for the ladies,were spot on! Highly recommended.

other reviews said it was witty and sweet and generally an enticing story, and they were 100% right. this is the only book on audible I've bought outright and not with a credit and I do not regret it all.

absolutely fantastic!

hilarious, endearing, and insightful

I have mixed feelings about this book. I really hated Jane in this book. Shocked is more like it. Not at all like her character. Shocked to see Caroline being the sound and wise person even more so. I didn't understand the grudge Lady Catherine held on for so long and why it took until the end to change.
This isn't a book I immediately want to listen to again, there are only a few I do that with, but maybe in a year or so.
I didn't understand why people would think ODC were not happy together. Most in society would know Darcy wouldn't offer for a woman if not....well a woman with low connection and very little dowry.
That had to move the story so all in all very well written.

Very well written

By far my favorite story. I’ve read it and listened to several times. The narration is just perfect. The pace is fantastic throughout and the plot is engaging, even after several readings. This last reading was through audible on a long road trip and even my husband was chuckling and wondering what would happen next. Highly recommend!

One you come back to over and over again

I keep coming back to this variation for the witty dialogue of Darcy and Elizabeth, the farcical humor, and the unique exploration of an egregiously malleable Mr. Bingley who is wildly uncomprehending and decision averse to the point of self destruction; so, when I realized there was an audiobook I couldn't wait to listen! I am happy to say that Arthur Rowan exceeded my expectations. His ability to give each character a distinct voice that perfectly matches their personality is astounding. The book, which is already immensely engaging, became even more so when told with the skill and versatility of Mr. Rowan.

Witty, Farcical, and Engaging
