A sweet spin on the story with wonderful characters
Very enjoyable read.
A sweet and romantic tale with low angst and an abundance of delightful interaction between ODC.
What sets this book apart from many other are the lack of villains. Caroline were her usual unpalatable self but not vicious and neither was Wickham. Although Wickham were not completely without mischief…
Set almost entirely in Meryton, during the Bingley party’s visit, it had the feel of Jane Austen’s characters but many events were altered.
Most significantly, Darcy’s secret talent as a poet which happened to be Elizabeth’s favourite.
Heartily recommend this book!
“To fall in love with someone’s thoughts – the most intimate, splendid romance.” –Sanober Khan
I read the review from Rita at ‘From Pemberley to Milton’ and knew I had to read this… like right now… so I grabbed it immediately. That was such a lovely, touching review. Her description held all the elements that I was looking for in a love story. When I started, I CNPID [could-not-put-it-down] and read it in one sitting. I stopped only long enough to cook dinner [I had to eat]. I also needed to fold a load of laundry. I would have left that but as I was out of underw—well, never mind.

Here is my checklist for a good love story:
A good H&h: check: that’s a given. I mean we’re talking Darcy and Elizabeth here… come on!!
A mystery: check: who was the illustrious poet Mr. Walter Wyndham?
A shocking reveal/surprise: OMG! There were clues but it was… OMG! It hit like a 2×4 up-side-the-head.
Irritating characters: check: Caroline Bingley filled that role perfectly. There was also that chick at the beginning of the story… Oh-what’s-her-name.
Lovely scenes: check: you know the ones… makes your knees weak and your heartbeat quicken.
HEA: check: Oh, yeah!! That’s a given.
This was so much fun watching Darcy and Elizabeth interacting with each other while they were at Netherfield during Jane’s illness. And then, our author added a dash of Wickham to spice things up a bit. Wait… What??? Yeah, our resident bad guy Wickham was a bit different [toned down] in this variation. He wasn’t the SBRB [scum-bag-rat-bastard] that we usually encounter. However, he was well on his way if something drastic didn’t happen to prevent it. I guess you could say he filled in for our dear Colonel who was away and didn’t appear in this story. The Colonel usually made up for Darcy’s reticence and taciturn behavior. But then, in Wickham’s case, he had an agenda that we didn’t discover until later. His need for money took him on a whole new venture [underhanded, of course]. His end was hilarious.
This story had flavors of ‘Roxanne’ [with the h being moved by the written word] and ‘You’ve Got Mail’ with that famous line and reveal at the end of the movie.
