    This is a most commendable first novel by the author, and a remarkable one. This is angst-filled: firstly, between our beloved couple Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet; secondly, between Elizabeth Bennet and green-eyed monsters; and finally, when the safety and security of the Darcy ladies are jeopardized.

    This is fast-paced, well-worded, and the author does not waste words or chapters on what are given or understood, in contrast to many other variations that merely rehash.

    This reader loves the way the author focuses on and highlights the relationship between Darcy and Elizabeth, starting from animosity and hostility, to civil understanding, friendship and eventually love and romance. The author takes time and unabashedly allows the lead characters to be who she wishes them to be: more passionate and affected characters, volatile when it comes to each other and unafraid to express their emotions when warranted. This variation emphasizes on the predispositions of Elizabeth Bennet (as appropriately titled): her feelings, prejudices and strong emotions mainly towards the gentleman who she previously declared as the “last man she could ever be prevailed upon to marry” during his failed first attempt at a marriage proposal in Kent. This is a more sensitive, emotional and dramatic Elizabeth to what most readers would be used to; and this reader loves how she is here-more realistic, passionate and animated. Although there are moments of impropriety, when/where no genteel lady would dare venture, Elizabeth’s seemingly inappropriate actions are justified and explainable.

    The twist in the end is predictable (this reader was actually waiting when it’ll happen), but it is still worth reading and delving into, and the way the author hurriedly depicted the happenings make the event exhilarating and suspenseful.

    There are so many layers and sceneries, as well as attached emotions, to this variation, many of which are memorable and which make this remarkable and worthwhile the read.

    The romantic declarations between the beloved couple may be cliche but still swoon-worthy and heart-tugging. This reader loves this variation so much that this will be included in her personal collection of Pride & Prejudice variations.

    There are natures so dogmatically stubborn that, if worlds were smashing together, and could be saved by their yielding a point, they would let them smash. ~ James Lendall Basford

    This is a book that required a thesaurus: adamant, dogged, inflexible, relentless, single-minded, cantankerous, intractable, mulish, bullheaded, pigheaded, and hardheaded!

    I could go on but you get the idea: Elizabeth Bennet is one unbending wench throughout most of this book. I always dislike such a stupid Elizabeth!

    Stubbornly persist, and you will find that the limits of your stubbornness go well beyond the stubbornness of your limits. ~ Robert Brault

    To be fair, Elizabeth does not have the benefit she enjoyed in canon P&P: Darcy does not wait long enough to meet her the morning after the disastrous proposal. He burns his letter and Elizabeth knows nothing about his motivations with either Bingley or Wickham.

    After Lydia Bennet elopes with Wickham, Elizabeth travels to London with her father to help with the search. With no clues in sight, her father falls ill and Elizabeth slips away from Gracechurch Street to ask Darcy for help in finding Wickham. She finds Darcy unkempt and drunk, as he had been for the months since his rejection. I always dislike a Darcy who descends to over-imbibing.

    Again, the reader must believe that a country girl who realizes she should not walk alone in a London park during the day would travel across town alone twice (once late at night) to accost a single man in his home. But, if you can buy this premise, there is a good story here.

    Even after Lydia’s situation settles, Elizabeth continues in her belief that Darcy is responsible for Wickham’s degeneracy. If Darcy had only allowed Wickham to become a clergyman … yada, yada, yada!

    Can Lydia see the truth about her love?
    Will Mrs. Bennet ever chastise her favorite?
    How many times can a couple quarrel and try again?
    What will it take for Elizabeth to see the truth about those two men?

    The book is well-written and edited. I would have liked a bit more at the end but I recommend this to anyone who enjoys JAFF.

    Many are stubborn in pursuit of the path they have chosen, few in pursuit of the goal. ~ Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 24, 2021
    There are a few inconsistencies. I did enjoy it but Lydia wouldn't have been accepted back in to society. All the Bennet's would have been shamed. It also ends on angst with out seeing a happily ever after so it feels unresolved.

    First of all...I love this type of "trope" a Hero Darcy saving his Elizabeth. The language used between our couple in the story is sometimes "modernized" but I'm not complaining. Thank you Hunter Quinn

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Debut
    Reviewed in Canada on April 15, 2021
    Still predisposed in thinking the worst of him, Elizabeth visits Darcy to request his help to find Lydia after she and Wickham elope. Darcy never delivered his letter in Hunsford, so she still blames him for Wickham’s reduced circumstances, and Jane’s separation from Bingley. The conversation that unfolds in his study is quite dramatic and refreshingly different than what is frequently depicted in variations. Even though they argue, Darcy agrees to help, and even when Lydia’s situation is dealt with, she still finds fault with him. What will it take to overcome her temper and predisposition towards him? Someone finally gives her a reality check.

    This is a very well-written debut novel. The writing style is very pleasing and the dialogue was especially good. The plot is interesting and enjoyable, with a bit of angst, and a touch of romantic spice. I place this book in my mildly mature category. There were a few minor proofreading misses.

    I really enjoyed and recommend this book. I definitely look forward to more from this author. Well done!

    Trigger warnings: there is some descriptive violence.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes less is more
    Reviewed in Germany on April 16, 2021
    Too much of everything: too much plot (e.g. kidnapping and attempted rape at the very end of the story), too much modernity (a faked carriage accident with a resurrection of our villain - yeah, sure, and a Lydia that can manage to first elope with and then call off her wedding to Wickham without any consequences for her or her family's reputation - yeah, sure), too much resentment and prejudice on Elizabeth's side and also too many inconsistencies (a Caroline Bingley first being publicly cut by Darcy but later still being invited to and attending a Darcy family dinner - yeah, sure). Sorry, I did not particularly like Elizabeth's self-righteous and irrational stubborness in disliking Darcy and unwillingness to see Wickham's true character (which was also over the top). And a Darcy that loves her so much, he puts up with all her vitriol - yeah, sure.
    On the positive side, it was well written, no glaring typos or grammar mistakes. And if you like plot-driven stories and are willing to ignore some of the above, you might have an enjoyable read.
