A PRINCESS FOR PEMBERLEY

by Elizabeth Watkins

Miss Elizabeth Bennet had no idea what awaited her as she and the Gardiners went into Derbyshire and visited Lambton, the small village that had been her Aunt Madeline’s girlhood home.

not to bad

I really enjoyed this book it's not very well written, but her character development makes up for the poor writing. The issue was the dialogue is poorly done the story telling itself is actually really good just not written very well. Love the idea
