Mr. Darcy's Poetry of the Heart by Charlotte Weatherby ★★★★★

After a dinner at Netherfield Park, Jane Bennet becomes too unwell to leave. 
Her sister Elizabeth comes to nurse her and finds herself a reluctant guest. 

When seeking something to read, she happens upon a handwritten poem.
 
It appears that the haughty, stoic Mr Darcy, possesses the heart of a passionate poet. She is shocked when she realises that she is the subject.

Another poem and she is in some danger of losing her heart to him. But suddenly, he retreats, leaving Elizabeth hurt and confused.

When she and Jane return home, they are met with tearstained faces. Mr Bennet has become dangerously unwell and his family fear the worst.

I will not add spoilers but the story is beautifully written and the author has a lyrical turn of phrase.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
