In this P&P variation, William Collins, orphan, comes to live at Longbourn as its heir and takes the name of Bennet. he becomes protective of all his cousins but especially Elizabeth.
When the Netherfield party arrive, William takes against Darcy and tries to keep him away from Elizabeth as he deems him not worthy. Why does he feel this and how can William's dislike be overcome.
An enjoyable story ( )

I won a copy of this book from the author contained in A Dash of Darcy and Companions Cottage Collection 2: 5 Pride and Prejudice Novellas and 1 Novel.

I loved this variation and how Leenie Brown wrote William Bennet in this variation. The relationship between him and Elizabeth was really fun and I enjoyed reading about them teasing one another and the sibling relationship they had developed. I also really liked the Mr. Bingley in this variation and how he stood up to Darcy and wasn't as reluctant as he is in other variations to tell Darcy when he thought he knew better. All the characters were so well written and the story was so fun. I would love to read more of this story and about what happens next and would have liked more of an epilogue about what happens next for all the characters. I look forward to reading more of Leenie Browns wonderful variations in the future. ( )
