This was a fast-paced story that could have been better. I love P&P; variations and I am presently working on my own but I have yet to publish it because I feel it is not good enough. That is not the case with a lot of these variations I am seeing lately. They are trying to meet the demand of us fanatics and end up missing the mark. There were a lot of editorial issues: quotations in the wrong spot, calling someone a different name, etc...I did enjoy the read and received it free with my prime so I guess I can't complain too much.SPOILER ALERT!!!!My biggest issue with the book is that the central characters, our beloved Darcy and Elizabeth lack the passionate tension that should be natural for two who claim to love each other. They profess the love their have for each other to other people but there is no overt display to each other that would give you any sense that they really felt that way.Another issue is that they are together a great deal in the book and she is living in his house, she is in on every discussion, gives him advise on his business and estate issues and yet it takes until the end for them to discuss their feelings and move past the pain of Hunsford.
