My Dear Friend by Heather Moll. ★★★★★

After Mr Bingley abandons Jane Bennet, following the Netherfield ball, she is heartbroken. Even worse her mother won't stop complaining about Bingley's loss, while implying Jane was to blame.

 

Jane and Elizabeth Bennet are relieved to escape to their relatives in Cheapside.

In an effort to show Jane that there are other fish in the sea, Elizabeth signs up to a matchmaking agency.

As "L" she chooses to correspond with "F" and finds a man she thinks she could come to love.

Fitzwilliam Darcy left Netherfield determined to forget Elizabeth Bennet. Despite being in love with her, she is not suitable to be Mrs Darcy.

To distract himself he is persuaded to join the matchmaking agency. As his cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam opines, Darcy is much more eloquent on paper than in person. 

You can guess what is going to happen!

However, when he and Bingley cross paths with Jane and Elizabeth, Darcy is crestfallen to realise how much Elizabeth dislikes him.

They have a long road with many assumptions and misunderstandings (they are both in need of a good shake).

Heather Moll's latest book doesn't disappoint!
