The Pleasure of Remembrance by Amanda Kai. ★★★★★
The aristocratic Fitzwilliam Darcy is rich, well connected and handsome.
On a journey to London, a washed out bridge means a diversion from the well known roads.
Proceeding slowly, down poorly maintained lanes leads Darcy and his staff into the clutches of highwaymen.
The ensuing violence robs two men of their lives. Darcy is wounded and loses his memory.
The Bennet sisters find him and he is nursed back to health in their home.
He is drawn to Elizabeth Bennet and she to him. However, Darcy does not know his own identity, so cannot move forward with any plans.
A visitor from Kent recognises him, so his identity is restored, but not his memories.
This moment of hope turns bittersweet, when he learns that he is betrothed to his cousin.
The villainous George Wickham seeks to take advantage of Darcy's vulnerability and some of Darcy's family are just as bad.
Is there any hope for Darcy and Elizabeth?
You won't want to stop reading until you know the answer!
A really enjoyable story and a clever way to strip Darcy of his pridefulness, revealing the lovely man he is.
I received a free copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review. All views expressed are my own.
