The Trouble With Friends by Kelly Miller. ★★★★☆
Charles Bingley, Simon Lockhart and Fitzwilliam Darcy are soon making themselves known to the neighbourhood.
Bingley and Lockhart are handsome and amiable, whilst Darcy projects haughtiness.
Simon meets Elizabeth Bennet when he gets a concussion, falling off his horse. She rescues him and earns his undying regard.
Unfortunately, the return of the beautiful Jane Bennet, turns his head and Bingley’s.
Elizabeth is quite happy to settle for friendship. However, Darcy is horrified at such inconstancy (whilst becoming increasingly smitten).
It takes quite a while for the twisting tendrils of attraction and love to be untangled.
Delightful additions include the presence of Georgiana Darcy at Netherfield, Mary Bennet’s growing confidence in her own appearance and the delightful Robbie, the Cocker spaniel.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. All views expressed are my own.
