This was a very interesting story with lots of drama and plot twists involved. As a whole I enjoyed the story as well as many of the characters, obviously excluding Lady Catherine and Mr. Collins. I also enjoyed reading how things worked out for Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth, Charlotte, and Dr. Trent in the final chapter that took place 3 months later but I would have liked more of a ending for Colonel Fitzwilliam, Mr. Bingley, Jane, and the rest of the Bennet family.

I normally don't like "what if" stories or Fan Fiction, but there is always an exception that proves the rule. This was it. Catherine Bilson did a wonderful job. I enjoyed this book greatly. ( )

This is certainly an interesting 'What if' tale of Jane Austen's original tale. The antagonists here are Mr. Collins, who is Elizabeth's cousin and Catherine, Darcy's aunt. Mr. Collins, who is also the husband of Elizabeth's dear friend, Charlotte, turns out to be a bad example for a clergyman. He tries to forcefully impose himself on the cousin who rejected him some time ago. Elizabeth manages to flee but slips over a bank, hurts her head, and passes out. As days pass on, she recovers while the others investigate the situation. Just few minutes ago the horrifying incident took place, Darcy had written Elizabeth a letter clearing things out, which he later regrets assuming his actions to be the result of her passing out. Things start unfolding and feelings start changing among the characters. ( )
