Just to Hear 'I Love You': An Alternate Tale of Jane Austen's 'Pride & Prejudice' by Sarah Johnson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A re-read of this Pride and Prejudice variation whereby Elizabeth and Mary as the only two survivors of the Bennet family are taken in by their Gardiner relations. In an earlier tragedy Mary has been left deaf.
On a holiday with the Gardiners at Ramsgate they met Miss Darcy, but Wickham is also there. Can she be saved and how will the meeting of Darcy and Elizabeth fare. Soon they are introduced to the Fitzwilliam family. Will both Bennet ladies have their happy ending.And what of Bingley.
This is more the story of Mary and Colonel Fitzwilliam, which is why it is a favourite of mine.
An enjoyable and well-written variation with its delightful characters.

Lizzy Fitzwilliam, A Pride and Prejudice Variation by Melanie Schertz
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
In this Pride and Prejudice variation Lizzy Fitzwilliam, granddaughter of the current Earl of Matlock, is crippled in an accident that kills her sister Jane, and her parents. Consequently she spends her time at Pemberley with her relations, the Darcys.
Some of the characters are OOC but it was an enjoyable story just a pity that there was not more of the Bennet family
