The Garden of Roses: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
Proud… Not proud… Proud…
Elizabeth Bennet is visiting her friend Charlotte—now Mrs. Collins—at Hunsford when they are invited to Rosings Park, the luxurious estate of Mr. Collins’ matron, Lady Catherine de Bourgh. To her surprise, she meets a former acquaintance there, one she never would have expected to see again—Mr. Darcy!
It turns out that Mr. Darcy is the nephew of Lady Catherine, and is now visiting his aunt with his younger sister, Georgiana. Elizabeth becomes quick friends with the spirited young girl, who is not at all as proud as a certain Mr. Wickham once described. There is however a person at Rosings Park who treats her with uttermost arrogance—but it isn’t Mr. Darcy. In fact, it is Mr. Darcy whose company provides an easy respite from the suffocating atmosphere of Rosings Park.
Slowly, Elizabeth starts to see a different side to the man whom she had once considered proud and arrogant.
But is this the true Mr. Darcy after all?
The Garden of Roses is a sweet, clean romance novella suitable for all lovers of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.

This was a fun and short Pride and Prejudice Variation that takes place at Rosings Park. In this version Georgiana is also visiting with Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam and becomes friends with Elizabeth very quickly. While this Georgiana is a fun , she seems a bit too outgoing to be true to the Georgiana we normally see who needs to be drawn out of her shell. I enjoyed this story overall and it has a nice ending.

Darcy is a condescending ass in this one -- boasting a flawless, distinguished visage, ebony eyes and thick, wavy dark hair; the very one whose tall and muscular form was adorned this day in a black double-breasted jacket, matching pantaloons and a crisp ivory cravat, -- but an ass nonetheless.
There are also a lot of very detailed descriptions.

Started Off Badly, but
Yes, the very first sentence had one of the numerous editorial errors, but it was an interesting variation despite. Thankfully it is available from KU because, while I was happy to read it once, I would never re-read it.
