Silver Buckles: A Pride & Prejudice VariationSilver Buckles: A Pride & Prejudice Variation by Grace Gibson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In this Pride & Prejudice variation Darcy insults Elizabeth at the Meryton Assembly, but her response intrigues him enough to ask for a dance. The resulting conversation changes their response to each other. But can this result in happy ending for anyone.
An entertaining well-written variation with likeable pairings, just a pity there was not more of other pairings.
