SPOILERS throughout this review:I have always liked/loved Col. Fitzwilliam so this story did appeal to me if only for that reason.  I usually do not buy books in which Elizabeth has any love interest other than Darcy.  The author did well in introducing and explaining how that romance occurred. I had many tears even from the start in the events within this story.  It does have a fast pace and also has a lot of action.  If fact I would term this not as much a love story as an action-thriller.  My opinion is that there could have been more time given to all the events...things just moved too quickly.Some things that I did not like were the consequences for all the "bad" guys.  In reading of their evil and heartless actions and the fate they would have for our lovely Lizzy, I could not accept that they *SPOILER* were totally forgiven and allowed not only to reside in the same residence upon apprehension but also to have full privileges to visiting the offspring.Darcy's and Elizabeth's romance did not develop fully for my satisfaction.  I love when there is sexual tension but, as the other review stated, this author hurried the match for her plot development.  Even with that I would have enjoyed more details about how their love, after the marriage, developed.And then there is the aspect *SPOILER* of the Colonel's spirit appearing to everyone significant to him to set them straight or to give them permission for feelings, etc.  Yes, I do believe he would have felt the sentiments he expressed.  He always has been the "good" guy but for me. However, if you don't understand your son or brother before he dies you are going to have a very difficult time all of a sudden changing your harsh opinions just because you have a "vision".  And these vile people would not even consider Lizzy's background or status in this tale, even more so than in many other tales.  The Bennets were a very nice change here - well done.  Wickham - no surprises!Darcy's accepting the children as full heirs is so touching...this is one point that brought me to tears.This tale did draw me in and I read in within one day.
