The Seventh Proposal: A Pride and Prejudice VariationThe Seventh Proposal: A Pride and Prejudice Variation by Cathleen Earle
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A Pride and Prejudice variation where Elizabeth is constantly overly cheerful and Darcy much too romantic. Very little angst. Rushed through to see when the Colonel would met Mary. That romance was very disappointing written - just one sentence
Overall an enjoyable story
