    About this ebook

    In this Pride and Prejudice Novella Variation, Elizabeth Bennet is introduced to Fitzwilliam Darcy through her sister, Mary, who is friends with Darcy's sister. They make an immediate connection and a courtship follows. When Darcy proposes, Elizabeth is eager to accept him.

    Darcy escorts his betrothed to her home estate of Longbourn, which happens to be next door to Darcy's friend's leased home of Netherfield. Two people from Darcy's life—his aunt and his former friend—appear in the area, determined to step between the couple, but Darcy puts them in their places and they go on their way.

    One of those people, however, is out for revenge, and plans to use Elizabeth to hurt Darcy. When she goes missing, Darcy tears the county apart looking for her. Will he find her in time, or will she be lost to him forever?

      A swift and pain-free romance with a little debacle but not a particularly angsty one.
      Perfect when you are in the mood for fast-paced fluff.

      Mary was staying in London with her aunt when she ran into miss Darcy and they became friends. The two sisters starts scheming a bit to marry off their siblings...
      After the engagement was a fact Elizabeth was kidnapped. The villain met with a very satisfying fait towards the end though. Love when the perpetrator gets his comeuppance.
      Additionally, there was a fabulous setdown of Mrs Bennet. (Snickering wickedly).

      As a fast-paced, quick read it naturally did not plunge into to any depth and was perhaps a little overly explained but I know other readers prefer when you are left guessing but little...
