Mr. Darcy has a second chance to court Miss Elizabeth Bennet after his disastrous marriage proposal, thanks largely to Mrs. Collins's timely intervention. As a result of an incident at Rosings, Darcy and Elizabeth find themselves suddenly engaged to each other. Elizabeth respects Mr. Darcy. She likes him very much. But, what if she fears she is not indeed in love with the gentleman? What if Elizabeth is persuaded she does not really know what love is? Darcy’s heart belongs to Elizabeth. What must he do to convince her that her heart belongs to him?
I’m not really sure how I feel about this one. Pride and Prejudice has been one of my favorite books since I was about 20 years old so I’m a bit love or hate on any variations. I think this one had potential, but there were some parts I just didn’t care for. I think I’m going to give her another try on another variation to see how it might sway my opinion.

This is a nice Pride and Prejudice variation although I found the characters a little too different for me you really enjoy this book. Also, the language and syntax were too modern and kept bringing me out of the story.

This is one of my favorite authors. She always knows how to build her stories and put a different spin on the storyline to make it a new story.

This was an entertaining afternoon beach read. It was fast paced and I would have preferred more of a slow burn, but overall it was enjoyable.
Many thanks to Regents and Cotswald Book Group and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

It was wonderful to read a "behind the scenes" version of one of my all time favorite books.
As far as I am concerned, Fitzwilliam Darcy is one of the most romantic, yet clueless, characters in literary history.
I highly recommend this adaptation. Excellent read!!
Thank you P.O. Dixon, Regents and Cotswold Book Group and NetGalley for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest feedback.

The story started when EB was visiting Charlotte in Kent, then the disastrous proposal and rejection. Charlotte was very instruental in their reconciliation. Charlotte asked for him to seek her out before leaving Hunsford, thus their chance to talk after the letter was delivered. FD tried to amend all the wrongs he did (reconciling CB and JB).
Of course there was a HEA for our couple.
Love the way the story unfolded. It was realistic and I love very much Charlotte has more participation in this variation. Love the strength in Jane's character in the story. I highly recommend it to all P & P fans. As always Ms. Dixon had delivered another engaging variation (this one is patterned to canon)
