What if Mr. Bennet found Mr. Darcy’s letter after Lydia had run away with Mr. Wickham? What if he realized he could not have two daughters in a precarious situation and forced Mr. Darcy to do the right thing by marrying his second daughter? How would Elizabeth react to this imposition? And would Mr. Darcy have the strength to marry a woman whom he believes dislikes him?
In A Case of Some Urgency, Mr. Darcy finds himself in a forced engagement scenario that will once again place him in Elizabeth Bennet’s path, and I loved the strategies the author developed to take this couple to their HEA. I was captivated by this book for a variety of reasons, the plotline, the characters, the writing style, the length, it is as if all elements of the book combined perfectly

Quick and fun read, very well written. This is definitely a variation where Lydia is unequivocally awful and unredemptive, and I'm never quite sure how I feel about that. She is certainly selfish and petty in P&P but she is also a 15-16 year old girl preyed upon by a man nearly twice her age for revenge. Main love story between Elizabeth and Darcy is low angst.

Lydia's brattyness and obliviousness is a focus in this plot. Kitty soon realized how selfish Lydia is.
Mrs. Bennet soon realizes that lydia and Wickham are trash.
Mr DArcy and Elizabeth sneak off in the garden off screen to get rumpled.
