  <default-description>In Jane Austen's classic Pride &amp; Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet never expects to see Mr. Darcy again after his disastrous proposal in Hunsford. But what if family business required him to stay at Rosings after giving her his letter? Coming face to face with Mr. Darcy only days later could give Elizabeth a new chance to understand him... or chance for even more misunderstandings.  THE PEMBERLEY VARIATIONS by Abigail Reynolds is a series of novels exploring the roads not taken in Pride &amp; Prejudice.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[I probably did this to myself reading all of these Pemberley variations one after the other, but there is a sameness to them. With the exception of _The Last Man in the World_, the &quot;variation&quot; seems to be an earlier acknowledgment of the attraction between Lizzy &amp; Darcy and more time spent...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/28049260">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm a little bit sad that this is the last of the Abigail Reynolds <em>Pride and Prejudice</em> variations that are available. This was a good one, but I really disliked the characters of Georgiana and Mr. Bennet, who were the antagonists in this version. These variations are clearly not for the pure Jane Au...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19864536">more...</a>]]></body>

I really wanted more Elizabeth &amp; Mr. Darcy... but after a few chapters I couldn't recognize them anymore as the characters I've known and loved.

    <body><![CDATA[A winner from Abigail Reynolds! I liked it even more than Impulse &amp; Initiative....in fact, this may be the best published P&amp;P fanfic I've yet read. However, Austen purists are likely to object to the bodice-ripping as too far out of character, so consider yourself warned.
