The Lake House at Ramsgate: A Darcy and Elizabeth Pride and Prejudice Variation by MJ Stratton ★★★★★

In 1812, Jane Bingley is having a difficult time with her first pregnancy. Her besotted husband Charles, leases Lake House in Ramsgate, in the hopes that the sea air will be a remedy.

They are accompanied by Jane's beloved sister Elizabeth, who steps in to run the house when Jane deteriorates.

Part of that role, includes dealing with Charles' correspondence as he has illegible handwriting!

A letter intended for a solicitor, is redirected to the owner. The response is rather shocking!

Fitzwilliam Darcy claims he would never lease Lake House and makes several rude accusations. He also asks why she has dated her letter as 1812, when it is currently only 1810?

Never being one to be intimidated, Elizabeth replies, rather strongly.

A regular correspondence arises, as they realise somehow their letters are crossing time. Friendship turns to love, but how can they cross that gap?

I was looking forward to reading this, as the synopsis sounded intriguing. 

I started reading as soon as the book was released and couldn't put it down. 

I loved it and can't recommend it strongly enough!
