My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This Pride and Prejudice variation continues and concludes. Colonel Fitzwilliam's anger has cost him his engagement with Mary Bennet. When the Colonel goes back to the war what will Mary and by association her family do.

True Love Never Fails... (True Love, #1)True Love Never Fails... by Debra-Ann Kummoung
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In this Pride & Prejudice variation, what if the Bennets are not what their friends and neighbours believe. What if it is an act to ensure that all the daughters marry amiable men, men that love them despite their family.
It begins with Netherfield Hall being occupied by Charles Bingley. Soon to be joined by the rest of his family and Mr Darcy.
Another re-read and once again I really enjoyed this story, very much. Another re-read again.

Expectations & ApologiesExpectations & Apologies by Elizabeth Squire
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Pride and Prejudice variation where Elizabeth fails to hear Darcy's insult. How will this affect her behaviour when she attends Jane at Netherfield and later events. A shame that the most interesting pairing only got a passing mention.
An entertaining story
