Publisher Description

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 Elizabeth a new chance to understand him... or chance for even more misunderstandings.

"I'm a little bit sad that this is the last of the Abigail Reynolds Pride and Prejudice variations that are available. This was a good one, but I really disliked the characters of Georgiana and Mr. Bennet, who were the antagonists in this version. These variations are clearly not for the pure Jane Austen fans who only want to read what they imagine Jane herself would have written. However, if you are like me and are obsessed with just getting more of Elizabeth and Darcy, not caring that this is definitely NOT what Jane Austen would have written, then you should enjoy them. There is quite a lot of sex and passion in all of these books, so just be prepared for that."

    " Another silly P&P variation by Reynolds. So silly they are humorous "

    " I felt the same way about this book as I did about her last one--initially annoyed by the "miscommunications" between Darcy and Elizabeth and loving it by the ending! I really liked the rapport and strong bond between the couple as well as Darcy's unwavering devotion to Elizabeth. My minor complaint is tthat Elizabeth's insecurity and lack of confidence azt the book's beginning did not match the strong character I believe her to possess! "

    " Well, the best thing I can say about these is that they were a quick, light read. Very, very much written like a Harlequin romance novel. They have scenes of Lizzy seducing and bedding Darcy before marriage which really bothers me even thought I don't fell like I'm a complete purist, but come on! "

    " Elizabeth and Darcy end up spending time together after the proposal disaster. One of the more passionate of Reynold's variations and maybe a bit too much angst and misunderstanding to get them to the inevitable conclusion but a good variation overall. "

    " I love her Pride and Prejudice spin offs. Her writing style is fitting and characters more or less retains their nature as Austen may have intended, but with bit more approachable air, I think. "

    " This was by far the worst of Reynolds' fanfics that I've read. Didn't like Elzabeth, her family and the story. At least the others I read were somewhat entertaining... "

    " enjoyed reading this book. it was another side of the story for mr darcy and elizabeth that i enjoyed. i admit i will have to start to read the original pride and prejudice to fully understand the characters of the couple as well as the other characters. such an enjoyable read. "

    " Yep! Still love this. Hate Mr. Bennett and he is prtrayed exactly as I see him in this particular variation. Georgiana is a little more outspoken than her original character. Misunderstandings ensue though and torture me exceedingly! But our lovers happily come together as they should. "

    " I liked this book better than the Last Man because I felt like the author retained the qualities of Elizabeth and Darcy that I so loved in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, despite the scandalous behavior. "
