Some of my favorite JAFF stories are those where Darcy and Elizabeth get over their challenges early enough in the book that we readers get to enjoy a bit of time of them being together. This book fits that genre nicely. There's enough angst in the early chapters to be interesting, but they realize how much they love each other early enough in the book that we get to enjoy them over coming challenges together (instead of overcoming the challenge of being together). One of the things I like best about this Darcy is how early on he gets over himself and how much time we get to see him intentionally courting Lizzy. It's an endearing and lovely read.

Nice read. Enjoyed the reading and the characters and story was well balanced.

2022 Audio book upped this a star. The ending seemed a little superfluous, but over all enjoyable

I enjoy variations but this was just too much. Anne is completely different from the original and the new "enemy" is no just no. I only read it again because while reviewing my account to my kindle content I couldn't remember this one and looked interesting. Okay at first but again no just no.

In this P&P variation Bingley and Darcy have arrived without Caroline Bingley and the Hursts but they soon arrive as uninvited guests. Jane is soon to be ill while at Netherfield and Elizabeth attends her. What of the relationship between Jane and Bingley, though Darcy and Elizabeth become close, but of course their relationship never runs smoothly. Thankfully there is some intrigue and mystery in this story to make it interesting.
A well-written story.
