Wits & Wagers: A Pride and Prejudice Variation by Any D'Orazio. ★★★★★
Initially, he was angry. How dare someone inferior to him refuse?
And there of course was the problem. His Darcy pride, had blasted his hopes.
When he realises this he berates himself and sinks into despair.
In this frame of mind, he decides to ride to Kent to propose to his cousin Anne De Bourgh.
His male cousins Colonel Fitzwilliam and Viscount Saye, decide to stage an intervention.
When the Colonel announces that he will pursue Elizabeth Bennet, Darcy is horrified and is spurred into action.
A private gentleman's bet on the outcome, gets rapidly out of hand and includes many of the Ton.
One can predict Elizabeth Bennet's response to being the object of a bet!
An excellent story. Darcy is lovely, the Colonel is deliberately both charming and irritating. Viscount Saye is his own inimitable self and gets all the best lines!.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
