My thoughts:

It's time for another Jane Austen variation. This one was different because there was more passion and there was a whole new side to Mr Darcy.

In this one Mr Darcy is falling for Elizabeth, and when Wickham shows up he decides to tell her the truth about things. This leads to Elizabeth seeing him in a whole new light. There is courting and there is passion, yes that is the thing that makes this book stand out. Mr Darcy is really in lust with Lizzy, and she is starting to feel passiona...more

This novel starts off with a very funny prologue that immediately captured my interest much like Elizabeth captured Darcy's. Watching Darcy convince Elizabeth of the depth of his emotions was sweet and enjoyable. However, the novel takes a dark turn with Wickham and never quite recaptures the blissful and erotic nature found at the beginning of the story, leaving me more sad than satisfied at the outcome of the supporting characters. The author is quite adept in her description of Elizabeth and...more

I don’t like to think of Darcy as enduring life rather than living it prior to Elizabeth. I don’t think Elizabeth consumed his life but enhanced it. I think Darcy and Caroline Bingley were friends. He might even have thought her pretty. They talked, spent quite a lot of time together and even schemed against Bingley together. I don’t think Darcy was shy, but rather above the small talk of the local gentry. When Colonel Fitzwilliam said Darcy didn’t take the time to learn to be easy in company, I...more

The best way to describe how I felt about this book: it was a guilty pleasure. Another great way to describe it, if you'll forgive me, is that it is a Jane Austen porno. Basically, it starts where Elizabeth meets Wickham in the original Austen novel. It quickly changes course when Mr. Darcy gets over himself in a hurry and lets Elizabeth know what kind of guy Wickham is. An interesting premise, yes. But not really consistent with Mr. Darcy as Austen created him. Which becomes rather immaterial,...more

Beh, la versione si Susan Adriani ha soddisfatto la mia curiosità e mi ha regalato ore di piacevole lettura.
La storia parte subito da quel particolare momento, quando Darcy e Bingley incontrano le sorelle Bennet insieme a Wickham.. e da qui la storia prende nuove ed avvincenti direzioni!

Ho notato fin da subito come, in questa versione, i caratteri dei personaggi principali di O&P siano molto enfatizzati, quasi come se la scrittrice avesse voluto depurare la storia da tutti quei modi e quelle maniere che rappresentavano solo la facciata dell'epoca per puntare dritto sulla realtà.
Wickham, ad esempio, si rivela subito per quello che è, un rozzo e volgare approfittatore, e Caroline Bingley molto più acida e maligna (i suoi commenti hanno scandalizzato anche me!!).
E Darcy? Sicuramente è meno orgoglioso, ma molto più insicuro, troppo oserei dire. Certi comportamenti, non proprio usuali per un gentleman, non si addicono alla sua figura e forse questa è l'unica pecca del romanzo.

Un aspetto che invece ho molto apprezzato è la passione che traspare dall'amore tra Darcy ed Elizabeth. è un aspetto nuovo che Jane Austen non avrebbe mai potuto inserire nei suoi romanzi a causa di ciò che era considerato appropriato all'epoca e anche, forse, all'idea di romanticismo, ma che secondo me rappresenta appieno la realtà del periodo.
Ho infine apprezzato la maturazione del personaggio di Lydia, nonché della altre sorelle Bennet, che troppo spesso cadono nel dimenticatoio..

Lo stile della scrittrice, infine, mi è molto piaciuto. Il linguaggio utilizzato è inerente all'epoca in cui è ambientato, i dialoghi non mi sono sembrati forzati o troppo formali, con quel giusto tocco di ironia che mi ha fatto più volte sorridere.

Il giudizio finale su questa variante di orgoglio è pregiudizio è molto positivo!

Buona lettura(less)

I read it in a day and the only thing that kept me reading was the steamy sex scenes, certainly not the plot where little to nothing happens. Any little problem that comes up is basically solved by Mr. Darcy's money. No need to have propriety, and the hypocrisy of Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam is appalling. How can you anticipate your wedding vows, get married early because you want to screw like rabbits, and THEN admonish your younger sisters for trying to follow in your illustrious footsteps?

I've read many sequels to P&P, and for me, this was one of the most enjoyable. It's a reimagining of the original novel based on the premise that Darcy makes one choice differently - he tells everyone about Wickham right from the start. I liked the concept and the direction that the author took with the characters from that one moment. I do agree the Darcys come across as hypocritical at times, but I nonetheless enjoyed the story. There are some rather romance-novel-esque sex scenes, which w...more

What if Mr. Darcy apologized to Elizabeth for his cruel words at the Merryfield Assembly?
What if George Wickham was less a rake and more a rapist?
What if Darcy & Lizzy were overtly sexual with each other?
What if Elizabeth and Darcy had premaritial sex?
What if Darcy was a real horn dog?

There are parts of this book that are very good and rather enjoyable. Then there are the “romance sections”, which leave nothing to the imagination. They are very affectionate at Netherfield, in the yard at Longbourne, at a ball, on the piano forte, at the opera, etc. Which brings about my biggest issue with the book; Darcy can’t keep his hands off of Elizabeth despite his cousin Fitzwilliam, her father Mr. Bennett and his uncle the Lord warning him off, both before and after their marriage.
Darcy as a gentleman would have known the danger and damage to Miss Bennett’s reputation to carry on thus in public. He who was so concerned about his sister’s reputation and her potential damage at the hands of Wickham; yet he cannot hold back his carnal needs for the woman he wants to marry?
In this retelling Lydia again runs off with Wickham but in this version she isn’t forced to marry instead Wickham turns her to prostitution. Throughout the book Wickham’s behavior isn’t merely a slight against Darcy but a slight against society but the only answer is “dueling is illegal”, ignoring that had Darcy, Bingley and the Bennett’s cut Wickham the rest of Merryton society would have joined in.

Mr. Collins is transformed from an oaf to an ogre. Jane is minimized to a minor supporting character. The “romance” is so over blown that after Elizabeth delivers their first child I was worried that Darcy was again going to be “unable to restrain himself” and honestly there was a place where I was slightly nervous that something odd was about to happen with Bingley and Darcy.

What I do like about the version is the development of Georgiana from simpering shy child to a sensible young lady. Mr. Bennett is fleshed out and given a bit of a back bone. An explanation of Lady Catherine’s bitterness is explained and makes her somewhat sympathetic or at least understandable.
What’s good about the book is it is a nice long read, even if you skip over the numerous sex scenes.

"The Truth About Mr. Darcy" by Susan Adriani

I really liked this "what if" version of P&P. Very spicy so purists may not appreciate it.
Although Darcy & Elizabeth come together fairly quickly in the story the author does a great job of developing the rest of story of their courtship & marriage. They face obstacles and difficulties but she doesn't resort to any "big misunderstandings" & long separations (which I hate).
It really kept my interest. I would be interested in reading any...more

*The Gush*
I've read several Jane Austen Printed Fan Fictions (as I call them) and love the different looks the various authors take of one of their favorite books. That's whats so great about fan fiction, it's the highest form of flattery that someone puts the time and effort into envisioning your characters after 'The End' or in 'What Ifs?'.
Pride and Prejudice one are some of my favorites and there are so many to choose from. This one falls just about in the middle of what I've read. I love the 'What Ifs' more than perhaps I should and this one is one I've even thought of, but one problem with modern fan fiction is it all too often devolves into actions that would have been unthinkable at the time and place. Do we want to see Darcy and Lizzy run away with their passions? Of course, but it wouldn't have happened. But more about that latter.

Characters:
Other than the above mentioned actions, most of the characters are surprisingly in character, even reacting to situations that would never have arisen and situations being so changed. Wickham is ten times the blackguard from the original story, though I believe this stems from the fact that he is called out on his perfidy earlier and so shows his true colors sooner rather than changing his character. Too, Austen is not here mentioning things delicately rather than explaining things, so I feel we get a truer picture of his character in this book. Lydia's character is quite amazing in this and her part alone warrants a read through of this book. (And I'm saying that as someone who can not stand her and does not like to read in depth stuff about her.) Darcy in particular and the people around him are seen much more, for both good and ill.

Plot:
The 'What If' centers around 1) Darcy caring enough to warn Lizzy away from Wickham and 2) Bingley calling Darcy out before the ball on choosing duty over happiness. These two events lead to...lots of new griefs, but lots of happiness as well.

Writing:
The dialogue sounds close to the time and some of the rest rings true as well. While not perfect, I've read far worse.

*The Rant*
My main problem is that the story centers around the idea that Darcy and Elizabeth would be run away with their passions and be unable to await their marriage vows. This simply would not occur. I can perhaps overlook kisses before but engaging in relations under his friend's roof would be unpardonable.
THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN. NEVER. EVER.
While it does lead to interesting situations, I was never able to divorce myself entirely from the fact that the original action was completely unrealistic. To go so far and do so well with a time period you are not intimately acquainted with only to ruin it with such a plot point easily dropped this story a star or two for me. It is the Achilles' heel of most fan fiction and pastiches in many series (Sherlock Holmes, for example).

*Conclusion*
While there are definite flaws with this story, there are redeeming elements that make this book well worth at least one read through by any P&P fan.(less)

There was a nice twist from Lydia's story, as well as Wickham's - but this novel was all about Darcy and Elizabeth and finding themselves after a "what if" scenario: what if Darcy told Elizabeth, upon that fateful ride into Meryton, just who George Wickham really was?

I’ve come to the realization that Pride and Prejudice “what if’s” are my favorite sub-genre to read in the world of Jane Austen fan fiction (JAFF).

They give us the opportunity to cut and mold the storyline of Austen’s work in a fresh new way, and to explore all the different avenues in the plot that are previously undiscovered. It’s fascinating that by changing one line of dialogue or one person’s action, you get an entirely different story that gives the reader an opportunity to discover something new about their favorite characters.

Susan Adriani does just this in The Truth About Mr. Darcy (originally self-published as Affinity and Affection). She poses the question, “what if upon first seeing the interaction between Elizabeth and Wickham, Darcy chooses right then and there to tell his history of his dealings with Wickham to Elizabeth?” Instead of allowing Wickham the opportunity to spread viscous rumors about his character to the residents of Meryton, Darcy opens his heart up to the woman whose “fine eyes” have captured his heart. Upon hearing of Darcy’s past with Wickham, Elizabeth realizes that her first impressions of people are totally off, as she thought Wickham was a true gentlemen and Darcy was a proud, pretentious man. She offers an olive branch to Darcy, and tries to begin a friendship that winds up being very pleasing to both parties. Wickham sees all of this, and realizes that Elizabeth means more to Darcy than she knows and tries to find some way to use this knowledge to his advantage. Will his plan work? Or will Darcy and Elizabeth realize how powerful and potent the feelings they have for each other truly are?

This book was awesome! Having read tons of JAFF I always love it when I read a book that stands out, that chooses to differentiate itself from the hoard of fan fiction that’s out there. Adriani has done this most specifically with her Lydia Bennet storyline. Since Elizabeth knew who Wickham really was, she and Darcy were able to save Lydia from the fretful life she was plagued with in Austen’s original Pride and Prejudice. I give Adriani a lot of credit for perusing the Lydia storyline as most other JAFF authors choose to leave her as the same, immature, hard wretch that she’s originally described as. In The Truth About Mr. Darcy, we get to see what Lydia Bennet could have become had she had proper care, attention, and discipline. And I have to admit, with a little TLC, I found myself liking her greatly.

I must warn readers that there are many mature scenes in this book! They are, however, done in a tasteful, sensual way that advances the plot in a way that does not deter from the overall feel of the novel. The intimacy that we see between Elizabeth and Darcy progresses their relationship and forms a strong bond between them. As readers, we see what a truly remarkable man Darcy is, and how deep his love for Elizabeth is. My only disappointment in the novel was with Darcy’s sister Georgiana’s very rushed ending. I can only hope that the author expands her storyline in another novel.

Adriani is a fantastic storyteller and I look forward to reading her future endeavors as they are published. Truly remarkable, creative, and brilliantly written, The Trouble With Mr. Darcy is one “what if” variation you will surely not want to miss.

One of the more enjoyable P&P variations I've read recently, although the author's Mr. Darcy doesn't behave much like my Mr. Darcy. Getting into a fight with Wickham in the middle of Meryton's streets? Albeit, it was to protect Elizabeth's honor, but still... that is not Darcy. And this is in the first few pages of the books. Many more character discrepancies come, and yet, it didn't really bother me, in part because it was so different and I enjoyed the voyage.
