I still can't believe this book was only .99 . I've paid so much more for less and not enjoyed it as well. When you read a P&P; variation you just become accustomed to certain events to take place as a guideline. This book was unique the surroundings were shaken up a bit. The main events from the original still took place but the romantic sparks that took shape did so in its own way. Darcy was very likeable but a little too insecure. He questioned what they had way too often. I liked him displaying jealousy and possessiveness but when he questioned a certain conversation and letter that was unbelievable(our Darcy is smarter than that). I really liked the way the author chose to keep the couple together but the secret they kept for so long was ridiculous.I just felt it should have been resolved sooner. Later as things come to a head and the villain gets his hands on Elizabeth it took no time for Darcy to find her and her abductor which was a little hard to believe. All these investigators were hired to locate Wickham and nobody could find him and I realize they weren't sure if he was in London and that made the search more difficult but none of these men could solve what Darcy and Fitzwilliam did in a few hours. There were times things bothered me like that but there were also many touching moments too. Darcy cared for Elizabeth when she fell ill and she turns Anne Okley to save him as well and the relationship during all this was different from JA's so be prepared.I did not find it disturbing the author kept her book very clean in terms of intimacy. I like to read about the intimacy, personally, but still enjoyed the book very much. Well worth the price I paid.
