So Material a Change by Amy D'Orazio ★★★★★

When Caroline Bingley’s desperation for the money and status of Mr Darcy, leads her to attempt a compromise, he is equally desperate to avoid marrying her.

So desperate, that he lies to his friend, Charles Bingley, claiming he is betrothed to Elizabeth Bennet, who happens to be visiting the house.

She has never liked Mr Darcy and refuses his officious proposal – “I find it necessary that we should marry!”

However, on returning to her home, she discovers that both of her parents are determined that she marry her cousin, Mr Collins.
He is the heir to her family’s estate, stupid and physically repellent. Elizabeth's only escape is to tell her father that she has accepted Mr Darcy.

From this beginning of an engagement to the least, worst option, Elizabeth and Darcy must try to carve out a happy future.

This is wonderful book with angst, passion, misunderstandings, love and acceptance. I heartily recommend you read it.
