Featuring:
Book One: To Have His Cake (and Eat It Too): Mr. Darcy’s Tale
In this amorous, provocative, and at times tumultuous tale, Mr. Darcy is a wealthy young man of sense and education with considerable knowledge of the world. He is his own master. He enjoys his lifestyle and has no particular desire to marry at all.
That is until he renews his acquaintance with Miss Elizabeth Bennet—her circumstances greatly diminished pursuant to the sudden and tragic death of her father.
Book Two: What He Would Not Do: Mr. Darcy’s Tale Continues
Darcy has overcome all the obstacles to marrying Miss Elizabeth Bennet. Now, he must reaffirm his promise to be a man truly worthy of her affections.

Book Three: Lady Harriette: Fitzwilliam’s Heart and Soul
For years, Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam enjoyed making light of Darcy's deep affection for Miss Elizabeth Bennet in what seemed destined to be an unrequited love. After Darcy won Elizabeth's heart and made her his wife, Richard continued his wont to taunt his lovesick friend.
Now, the proverbial shoe is on the other foot. It's Darcy's turn to make light of Richard's struggles to prove himself worthy of pleasing the woman in his life. Can Richard stay true to his purpose or will the worrisome winds of ill fate intervene?

Seeing this series of three books offered as one at a reduced price led me to purchase this sooner than my original intent. These stories were on my Wish List but as so many know and say, “So little time, so many good books”.
First you must know that this 3-in-1 book does contain passages suitable only for a mature audience. It also casts Darcy and his cousin, his closest friend, as persons of salacious persuasion prior to certain ladies causing them to cast aside that behavior. If you want a man with a character of abstinence leading up to marriage you will not want to read of this version of Darcy (and/or the Colonel).
And this author also plays up the facet of Darcy, that pride in family and connections, which played such a large role in canon. He and his relatives are snobs to the nth degree. Even after marriage many pages are dedicated to discussions and lectures and misunderstandings and negotiations about one’s place in society and whether one’s family can be part of that new world for one.
So the first book not only plays up the ton’s requirements and expectations but then to make things so much more complicated Elizabeth’s family has “been cast out into the hedgerows”. Yes, the entail has come into play from the start and Collins has little, if any, mercy. Now with that step-down in society and the Matlocks and Lady Catherine having their own plans for who one highly sought after man will marry, not to mention all the young debutantes also preying upon one, what’s a man to do?
And did I mention Darcy’s salacious behavior? He has the money and he has the inclination, so as he can’t possibly marry the one to whom his heart bends, he seeks a substitute. And, oh, just wait until you read of her and the long lasting affects this liaison has on his relationship with Elizabeth. Can she now think of the past only as it gives her pleasure?
Colonel Fitzwilliam is something else in these continuing stories. How much is a second son worth? And he leans on Darcy’s benevolence many times to find his pleasures in the world. Jane, while visiting with Elizabeth, develops a flirtation with this man and earns Elizabeth’s displeasure and censure. Then when Darcy is invited into one lady’s boudoir via a letter addressed to “Fitzwilliam”, our dear Colonel is the benefactor when Darcy hands that note off. But that doesn’t come without a price. There were times when I did not like Richard! And he is usually one of my favorite characters.
As some have said the cloying sweetness with which Richard, and to a lesser extent Darcy keep proclaiming the verity and depth of their love to their ladies reminded me of the Shakespeare quote, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks". It was overdone with too much frequency.
Things become even more complicated by the third book. Annabelle shows up where no one in their wildest imagination expects to see her but is she there for our gentlemen’s secret pleasure? I thought we were past all the revelations about her role in Darcy’s and Richard’s lives. How does this play out? Lady Harriette, minx that she is, just keeps sticking her nose into it, demanding an equal role in being informed of all the concerns which gentlemen usually keep under the designation per their managing their estates and affairs and as of no concern for the womenfolk. And then she decides to take action…into the depths of debauchery in the seedy sides of London. Will she escape untouched?
Georgiana, Jane, Bingley, Kitty, Mary, Mrs. Bennet are of some significance in these tales. Lady Catherine keeps maintaining her disdain but what we don’t learn of until late in this saga is just how she plots her revenge for those who do not bend to her will. And all is not as portrayed in canon. At times, I felt deflated as I read of different relationships taking place or taking on depths other than what I know of from Pride and Prejudice. I don’t know that I ever came to be completely happy with this variation even as it kept my attention and as it presented a new way of bringing it all to a happy ending. For me changing a person’s character comes at a price – that of my complete approbation.
