'Couldn't stop reading until the last page. Definitely worth your while! Fits the original story and true to the original characters.' Amazon DE Review 'This is probably the best Variation of Pride and Prejudice we have ever read (and we have read a fair few) All the characters are so true to Miss Austen's vision. We loved them. There are lot of really good variations out there but by golly gosh we enjoyed this one!' Amazon UK Review 'If I wasn't already in-love with him, I would be reduced to a puddle of drool and worship after Vol II. I L-O-V-E this Darcy...sweet, decent, principled, handsome, rich, a great older brother, a loyal friend...and so in-love with Elizabeth, that he's willing to give her up so she can be happy with another. *sigh* and **double sigh** --he's absolutely PERFECT. Simply perfect. Based on Darcy alone, Vol II would have garnered the highest recommendation.But then there's Lizzy, who is realizing that there is, indeed, a thin line between hate and love; and for our normally self-assured, spunky heroine, it's refreshing to see that Darcy --although unbeknownst to him-- has the power to absolutely confuse and befuddle her. Adorable.Vol II has everything...the hold-your-breath, heart-stopping, fall-even-more-in-love, oh-no-they-didn't moments. Bring on Vol III!!! Amazon US Review 'Be prepared for a major cliff-hanger near the end of this book. You might want to have a copy of the third volume, Desperate Measures, on hand, because you won't want to stop reading! It's so good!' So Little Time blog 'As with Volume I , Cassandra Grafton delivers on every level - humor, romance, attention to period detail, faithfulness to the original characters, etc. The dialogue is smart and witty - especially when Col. Fitzwilliam is in the scene. His interactions with Darcy are a highlight of this book - providing levity to the reader, as well as truly heartwarming loyalty and friendship when Darcy needs it most. I am very eager to see how Ms. Grafton resolves it all in the final volume, Desperate Measures, though I hate to see it all end.' Amazon US Review

The lady, meanwhile, is battling the unprecedented feelings stirred by having endured an innocent but intimate encounter with the gentleman in the aftermath of his proposal. Soon on her way to Town herself for an unanticipated stay, she is comforted by the presence of an old family friend, one Nicholas Harington - the son of a wealthy family whose position in society rivals that of the Darcys of Pemberley. Circumstance soon throws Darcy back into the company of Elizabeth, much to their mutual consternation, and also introduces him to Harington who has emerged as a potential suitor for Elizabeth's hand, a union that is viewed as a fair prospect by all - except, perhaps, Darcy himself.

Fate, however, has unfinished business with them both, and before long the lady is travelling to the West Country herself. As Darcy strives to leave the past behind, will Elizabeth realise where her heart truly lies and, if so, can she find a way of letting Darcy know her feelings have changed, or is it too late for them both?
