To Marry for Love: A Pride and Prejudice Variation by MJ Stratton. ★★★★★

Elizabeth Bennet rejects the proposal of her ridiculous cousin, William Collins, heir to her family's entailed estate, Longbourn.

Mrs Bennet is outraged at her least favourite daughter's refusal to secure a home for her family, when her father dies.

You see, Elizabeth and Jane Bennet have vowed to marry for only the deepest love.

Friend, Charlotte Lucas leads Collins away to give Elizabeth some respite (also hoping Mr Collins might offer for her)

After entertaining Collins for two days, the Lucas family expect an imminent betrothal.

However, Collins discovers information that might allow him to have the beautiful, Jane as his wife.

Charlotte is immediately forgotten.

Circumstances lead Jane to marry a man that she does not love. She does however, marry for the love of her family.

So very early in the book, Jane is married to a fool, Charlotte is even more firmly on the shelf and Elizabeth is distressed and confused.

The ladies' path to security and love is long and sometimes bitter but makes this book thoroughly compelling.

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