Belle: A Pride & Prejudice Variation by Morgan Blake. ★★★☆☆

This Pride and Prejudice variation is set in alternate dimension Regency England, which has a definite Scottish flavour (bagpipes).

The cover picture is what drew me to this, a beautiful woman against a blue and gold background.

This is a novella and a short one. It is from the POV of Lord Darcy and features vignettes of his encounters with Elizabeth Bennet.

First, mysterious and fascinating.

Next, dismissed as the daughter of a nobody.

Then, object of infatuation, desire and an unexpected proposal.

After which he drinks excessively.

Of course, there is always a happy ever after.

I feel that the brevity lead to the story feeling rather superficial.

Disappointing.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
