While Elizabeth is at Netherfield attending to a very ill Jane, Darcy comes across her writings and against his better judgment he reads them. Only to find out what Elizabeth truely thinks of him. With her extended stay he does try and improve her opinion of him. But this is Darcy. This is a story told from his POV.
There are some religious sections where Darcy is being tempted by two powerful 'beings', but not too much. The story also offers possible other suitors to Elizabeth, and a delightful Georgiana. So an enjoyable story.… (altro)

I felt this book should have been tagged as 'Christian' and therefore I would not have read it and because of this I found it difficult to decide what rating to give.
The tale is that Will Darcy (who I found very smug) from the present day and Fitzwilliam Darcy of Pride and Prejudice, his ancestor, swap bodies just after F.Darcy has given the letter to Elizabeth Bennet.

The anthology contains six stories all of which I enjoyed and were well-written. My favourite was Sir Walter takes a wife, a real fun story and also The Lover's Ruse about Wentworth and Anne Elliot.

In a totally new take on Pride and Prejudice, Robin Helm combines the beloved Austen story with time travel in this refreshingly sweet Christian story. Mr Darcy (Fitzwilliam) is a more pompous jerk than even his book persona implies. In the present, Mr Will Darcy (a descendant) is a nice guy but can't find his own Elizabeth.
When the two swap places after Fitzwilliam delivers his letter to Elizabeth they each must come to terms with their new situation and see if they can settle into their new lives. Since Will has been a Jane Austen fan forever, he has an advantage since he knows the story. It is harder for Fitzwilliam to adjust to modern ways.
I loved this book and would have given it another star but the ending leave the reader hanging with the need to read the next book in the series to see what happens. I hate cliffhangers but I suppose it makes the book more like a P&P miniseries and I must wait to see what happens in the next episode.
