TIMELESS ROMANCE FOR THE BUSY READER

TRIGGER WARNING: Chapter One has a FAILED sexual assault with no description of the attack itself. However, the emotional impacts are felt throughout the story.

Can love grow from adversity? An attempted assault leaves Miss Elizabeth Bennet seeking tender comfort from the man she had, at one time, abhorred.

Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy’s gentle compassion fosters a budding affection as the couple grows to acknowledge each other’s weaknesses and failings while recognizing their own.

From Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, we know Mr. Darcy as a man willing to make phenomenal changes for the woman he loves. Once proud and arrogant, he transforms into the gentleman women have admired for centuries.

Through Elizabeth’s eyes, we come to know him and see beyond the surface to the inner man—a man willing to give all he has for the woman he admires. As our heroine struggles with the aftermath of that life-changing event, we discover a strength of character we can admire and emulate. Not even the vile Mr. Wickham can keep Elizabeth Bennet from her happily-ever-after with the man of her dreams—Mr. Darcy.

A beautiful story of pain and tears and love. A story of healing and strength. I found the story so compelling, I couldn’t put it down and I know it is going to stay with me for a long time. And the tears it generates will leak sadness and love. Thank you, Christie.

I want to give this novel 3,5 stars because I think it is a full novel story rather than a short story. Elaborated, with more meat on the bone, it could easily have been a 5 star...

It is a difficult subject to write, starting with a failed attempt of rape. While I think the emotions are well described, it feels rushed which is hard to avoid in a short story. Darcy is lovely, though maybe a tad heavy on the sugar... Elizabeth is OOC which is natural in theese circumstances.
There are funny moments, adored the kiss scene with Georgiana as a witness.

A good read but not exceptional.

Absolutely brilliant!!!! I would give this book more than five stars if I could. Once I started reading this book, I could not put it down! SPOILERS AHEAD -- Wickham was horrendously evil....his attack on poor Elizabeth was vicious. She fought for her very life...and then struggled to cope and survive the brutality of the attack. Darcy was the ultimate hero - sensitive, loving, and caring. His tender care throughout her healing process and PTSD was sweet. This was Darcy and Lizzy story that is a must read....excellent plot development, writing is flawless and riveting, and the characters are well developed!! I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this book!!!

A lot happens in just a short amount of time. Elizabeth encounters Wickham on her morning walk. To her horror, he attempts to rape her. She grabs a rock and knocks him out depressingcan do lasting damage. Darcy and Bingley come upon her while she's still on the ground, and Darcy takes charge to protect and comfort her, and see to her recovery. Although up to this point Elizabeth hasn't liked Darcy at all, in her traumatized state she latches onto him as her savior and her safe haven, and they're pretty much inseparable from then on.

The book deals with the highly sensitive subjects of post traumatic stress, and the lasting effects of an attempted rape, very serious indeed. For this reason, the Elizabeth character here is definitely not our usual beloved saucy and fearless Lizzy, but is instead an emotional and traumatized young woman. Fortunately, our beloved Darcy shows up, and he's truly swoon worthy.

The story should not have been a novella. Everything happens way to quickly to be believable. In only a matter of days, Elizabeth goes from hating Darcy, to an emotional wreck, to Darcy's passionate beloved ready to relocate to Pemberly and be his wife. Even though I appreciate the shortness of the depressing parts, it just feels wrong in light of the shocking event that led to their quick resolution.

The writing is wonderful. However, the use of the trigger words "sandalwood and citrus" became beyond annoying. I get it that Elizabeth associated Darcy's smell with being safe and protected, but it was mentioned ad nauseum. I recommend the book, but be prepared for super serious subject matter.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sandlewood and Citrus
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2017

This is such a cute read. The subject matter is serious but it is the comfort and support Elizabeth receives from our pemberley stallion that made it cute. I do wish there was a bit more edge to it. I know your all probably gasping at my words but I like that sense of danger before our H rides on the scene.

In this one the action and battle is over physically it is the emotional state that Lizzy is left in that encompasses the story. Not to make that sound as though it's nothing being attacked in a place you've visited a 1000 times would a a scary thing. To think of how a person would remember how innocent those times were and to be brought into a world where now everything brings fear is so hard to imagine. It's like a person that's had a car accident and from then on your overly cautious even if it wasn't your fault. Now let's toss in Lizzy berating herself because she thought the man was trustworthy. You would question every decision from then on.

Darcy is a dream with his gentle embraces but confident demeanor. I just have to say I wanted to see Darcy take him on but alas the approach in this book is very mild. The author shields all of us readers from the violence only painting those brief images. But if you are like me it is those moments in books that get your heart pumping that you want. I'm not saying I want to see Elizabeth defiled but I love Brenda Webbs work she brings it to the pages and you need a warning label. Lol. I know not all of us readers crave the intensity and drama but at least one does. I still loved the emotion felt between D&E it added depth especially at one point in the book when Lizzy questions what kind of wife she'd make for Darcy. She worried she'd push him away remembering the past attack. My oh my ladies Darcy's reassuring speech is swoon worthy. It's been said before but I'll say it again they just don't make men like Darcy anymore. I really want to get some sandlewood and citrus candles to burn at my house now. Enjoy!

This story was a brief exposure into the actions, feelings, and reactions to a social predator and his victims! What I liked most is the insights the author gave me in how to overcome and conquer the betrayals by someone you trusted. I liked the way the author framed the characters and how they expressed themselves an their emotions! I get the feeling that I am seeing and hearing her! I feel connected! I was not allowed to drown in the Vegas of the terrors but focused on the power of love! I counsel all readers of books by this author to not skin or skip over any details, she does her writings well!

I first read For Pemberley via Kindle Unlimited and so enjoyed this short story that I had to buy it, as I know I'll want to read it again. It had all the right ingredients to keep me hooked from start to finish, and although there was definite angst at the beginning of the story there was none between Darcy and Elizabeth. I hope it won't be too long before there are more short stories from this author.

Narration: Ms Zimmerman was flawless as always.

Story: The length should be a great indication of the content. This is so unbelievable that it should be categorised in the science fiction section. I had read it before but couldn’t remember it and am slowly re-reading all my JAFF so I can remember which are good. This one will be going straight to the discard pile!
