A Case of Some Urgency: A Novella Length Variation by Mary Smythe. ★★★★★
When Elizabeth Bennet visits Pemberley, it seems that she and Fitzwilliam Darcy will finally understand each other.
A much hoped for second chance at love is blasted by the news of her sister Lydia’s elopement with Darcy’s enemy, George Wickham.
On the rushed journey back to Longbourn, Elizabeth rereads Darcy’s letter, her only comfort. At one point, she needs to hide it from others in the coach and thus it becomes stuffed between cushions in her uncle Gardiner’s carriage.
Mr Bennet finds the letter, when he is searching for Lydia.
Having failed to parent Lydia, he decides to go overboard in protecting Elizabeth. Mr Bennet demands that Darcy do the honourable thing and propose to Elizabeth. Fortunately, both are keen on the idea!
The next twist in the tale is the arrival of the new Mr & Mrs Wickham. Lydia expects to be the centre of attention and is vexed to find that Elizabeth and Darcy are the focus.
Lydia and Wickham will go to some shocking lengths in response to the perceived slights. They are truly vile and frankly, deserve each other.
Really good story with romance and some edge of the seat moments!.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
