It was an interesting twist to P&P which I enjoyed. I was glad to get Calder's point of view. The only thing about the story was that it seemed to go on a little to long. They way the story did a kind of dog leg turn at the end....drug it out. I do realize there is another book and we will be vis...
This is a modern day retelling of Pride & Prejudice. Cassie is a marine biologist with a past and Calder is part of a rich political family with secrets. Cassie makes for a great Lizzie Bennet with a quick wit and a teasing nature aware of her own independence and not reliant on a man to make her...
As you can see my P&P fix is still in full swing and by the looks of things I don't think it's going to stop anytime soon...I just got another book along the same lines for my Kindle...I blame Amazon...Don't tell my husband. Shhh!I have mixed feelings about this story. Although I enjoyed the char...
I do agree with other posters who say that Darcy and Elizabeth 'anticipating' their marriage vows is very uncharacteristic of both of them. And, in the case of this variation, it seems cheesy and amateurish, below the standards that I expect from Abigail Reynolds, whose variations I normally enj...
In Jane Austen's classic Pride & Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet never expects to see Mr. Darcy again after his disastrous proposal in Hunsford. But what if family business required him to stay at Rosings after giving her his letter? Coming face to face with Mr. Darcy only days later could give Eliza...
"I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry." Elizabeth Bennet's furious response to Mr. Darcy's marriage proposal in Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice has resonated for generations of readers. But what if she never h...
It had been a different sort of smile from the arch one she had worn so many times before. No, this had been a genuine—dare he say affectionate?—smile, something Darcy had despaired of ever seeing. It was only four months since Elizabeth had emphatically rejected his proposal of marriage. She had...
Darcy's Refuge: A Pride & Prejudice Variation Chapter 12 On Elizabeth’s return from one of her walks, she spotted a figure in uniform approaching Longbourn on horseback. At first she thought it was one of the officers who had returned for some reason, but as he drew closer, she realized h...
Bingley was a daily visitor at Longbourn by this time, coming frequently before breakfast, and always remaining till after supper, but Darcy, having gracefully, if not entirely happily, accepted Elizabeth’s hint that she would prefer that he not be in such constant attendance, restricted himself ...
and Mrs. Gardiner, with their four children, appeared at Longbourn. They were to stay there only one night, and set off the next morning. The children, two girls of six and eight years old, and two younger boys, were to be left under the care of their cousins; although Jane was the general favour...
She grieved for Erin and the derailment of her career, but she couldn't blame Calder, or even Scott, for that. Erin had done that herself with her own fears. Calder's assumption that she was his for the asking still rankled, but she turned the same bitter anger on herself when she thought of how ...
Huddling together had been warmer, but it would be better to freeze than to have a repeat of what had just occurred. What had come over her? Simply being close to a handsome gentleman was no excuse for kissing him. It was not as if they were even getting along particularly well. For every convers...
