Loving this.  A sweet Darcy, feeling at home with the Bennets.  An improved Elizabeth, smart and witty but softened by wisdom. A reformed Mr Bennet, who turns his life and that of his family, after friends from University stage an intervention. So good to see Caroline being put in her place (repeatedly) Add in an evil Uncle and a venal Viscount. Watch the sparks fly!

Elizabeth Bennet is visiting Mr & Mrs Collins at the Hunsford Parsonage. The odious Mr Darcy and his cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam are also in Hunsford, at Rosings, home of Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Elizabeth has a very poor opinion of Darcy and while he admires her, he struggles with the inferiority of her status and family. Overhearing a conversation between Darcy and the Colonel, resolves a great many misunderstandings. Can a little Divine intervention help them overcome their pride and prejudice? Does true felicity await them? A good novella and the Christian element is not overdone. I received a free copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A Pride and Prejudice variation, where a Bennet heir was born!  Thomas Bennet married his childhood sweetheart Elizabeth Nelson. Soon they welcome their heir, Jonathan.  After eighteen years of happy marriage, Mrs Elizabeth Bennet dies some months after the birth of her daughter, Elizabeth. When Jonathan returns from school, he finds a new Mrs Bennet at Longbourn and it soon becomes obvious that Thomas despises his new wife.  Fanny Bennet is a young vulgar fortune hunter who makes a sorry stepmother to the Bennet offspring. When Jonathan inherits Longbourn, Fanny is determined not to give up her position of Mistress of Longbourn, even when he brings a wife home.  Fanny leaves Longbourn but retains a burning resentment for her step children and a determination to get her position back at any cost.  I really enjoyed this variation. Jonathan is presented as a steadfast older brother and worthy Master of Longbourn.  Having Darcy as Jonathan's acquaintance and s...

At the Meryton Assembly, Elizabeth Bennet is shocked to meet Fitzwilliam Darcy (again) four years after he broke her heart. A few hours later, they elope! By the beginning of Chapter two, they are on their way to Scotland. A flashback shows Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam meeting in Derbyshire, falling in love and becoming betrothed. Surely, her father will approve such a good match? Unfortunately, this Mr Bennet is secretive, devious and thoroughly unreasonable.  This book contains a labyrinthine plot,  betrayal, threat of kidnapping, love and passion. It keeps you on the edge of your seat to the end.  Excellent! I received a free copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review. All views expressed are my own.
