About this eBook

Did you know that Mr. Darcy had an American cousin?!

In this highly original Pride and Prejudice sequel by British author Monica Fairview, Caroline Bingley is our heroine. Caroline is sincerely broken-hearted when Mr. Darcy marries Lizzy Bennet— that is, until she meets his charming and sympathetic American cousin...

Mr. Robert Darcy is as charming as Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy is proud, and he is stunned to find the beautiful Caroline weeping at his cousin's wedding. Such depth of love, he thinks, is rare and precious. For him, it's nearly love at first sight. But these British can be so haughty and off-putting. How can he let the young lady, who was understandably mortified to be discovered in such a vulnerable moment, know how much he feels for and sympathizes with her?

Ratings and reviews

This Book Is Not A variation, it takes place after Elizabeth and Darcy are married. However the characters do vary somewhat. Caroline's personality in particularly undergoes a transformation. Unfortunately everyone else's characters are intact, including mrs. Bennet and Lydia. They are as annoying to read about as in the original Pride and Prejudice. And like in P&P no one calls them to the mat everyone still allows their abhorrent Behavior which is the only thing that makes this book a tad tedious
