About the author
Melanie Schertz
47 books62 followersI am a retired crime lab/crime scene technician, having worked for a local police department for 15 years. Since then, I have become disabled. Forgot to get the extended warranty on the body. In my spare time, I make jewelry, am a photographer, and a full time mom and grandma.
My daughter by birth is Catie, and she is the dearest part of my life. Through her, I have 2 daughters by heart, Heather and Kristina. Through Heather and her awesome man, Stan, I have 4 amazing grandchildren, Purgi, Penne, Myles, and Persephene.
Besides my human family, I have a canine son, who is my service dog, Darcy. I also have 4 feline daughters (Salem, Lizzy, Dagonet, and Freya ). I now have 5 grandpuppies, 2 grandkitties.
Two days after I received my first ever royalty check, I adopted Darcy and Lizzy. Fitting names, I thought. And they resemble the characters. Lizzy is mischievous, yet loving, climbing up high as if she were in a tree. Darcy is extremely protective and loving. He has his shy side, which is clear when around some people, until he comes to know he can trust them.

One thing you can say for this author is that she certainly has a wild imagination. It seems that several of Darcy's relatives are just plain mad. The colonel suffers from PTSD while Lady Catherine goes off when her wishes are not seen to. Then there is that cousin to the Bennets, Mr. Collins. Is he mad, evil or being used?
Elizabeth is knocked unconscious while on a walk during her visit to Charlotte at Hunsford. The rest of the story deals mainly with a search for her and with reasons, real or supposed, as to why she disappeared. Lady Catherine has her reasons and it is all to do with gaining control of Darcy's sister and his estate.
I read most of this story as a WIP but could not remember the ending so when it was released on KU I read it again. As you can see by my rating...it's OK but not much else.

In this Pride and Prejudice variation, everything is at extremes but focused on two topics 1) recovering Elizabeth who has been kidnapped and 2) the insanity that is Lady Catherine and Colonel Fitzwilliam.
The story has a lot of people trapped, tied up, death, and people pretending to be what they are not. Our dear couple only spends a few moments in each others company during the course of the story but somehow finds their happily ever after.

An interesting variation
This book has a different twist to the visit to Hunsford. There are multiple villains including Lady Catherine De Bourgh, and surprisingly Colonel Fitzwilliam. Things happen in a couple of fronts with both Darcy and Elizabeth being the victims. The book is intriguing and as happens in Melanie Schertz's novels the villains are truly evil. I did enjoy this one and loved the epilogue which wrapped everything up nicely.

I would have enjoyed this book more if it had undergone some good editing. Typos galore, not misspellings, but incorrect words used. Overuse of the ‘arts and allurements’ phrase was distracting. Unimaginative repetition of adverse events involving staircases. The plotline was different and interesting.

To Find Elizabeth Bennet
This story was filled with family backstabbers filled with jealousy and greed. Evil people who are not who they say they are - deceivers. Elizabeth Bennet goes missing and Darcy is determined to find her, but the colonel turns against him and he’s locked in his room. Escaping out the window and down the tree, Darcy finds many villagers ready and willing to help him. In disguise, Darcy continues to search for Elizabeth. After Mr. Bennet and Jane arrive, the search is intensified with the help of three neighbors. Went Darcy is found to be gone, Lady Catherine, Colonel, Fitzwilliam, and Collins rush to London in hopes of finding Georgiana and to confront Darcy’s solicitors. He was two steps ahead of the thieves. While there, the colonel hits his father and kills a servant. Lady Catherine loses her mind and has to be subdued. Steps are made to send the colonel to Australia and Lady Catherine to an institution. Collins was sent back to Hunsford before all of this happened so doesn’t know what has happened, and he is still was searching for Charlotte. Possible clues are followed by the men searching for Elizabeth, and they finally locate her whereabouts. Anne’s companion and her scandalous son are handled very appropriately, Charlotte saved from her fake husband, Jane and Bingley are reunited, Elizabeth and Darcy fall in love, and Anne free from her mother married her solicitor, had three children, and finally turns Risings into a happy home. Both ODCs marry and have their HEA. The villagers that helped find Elizabeth Bennet were rewarded for their contributions by Anne. Great story. Authors - most editing software do not catch homonyms. Please check your work carefully.

Greed, lying, trouble!!
Elizabeth is kidnapped, but no one is repeat looking for her with the exception of one. Darcy is hero in this one. Colonel Fitzwilliam, Lady Catherine, and Mr Collins are villians. A few people are hiding true identities from others. Trigger alert for abuse, not bad but could.

Good simple read
It's a good story and quick read if you are looking for a book that you either won't be able to put down for a couple hours or a book that you'll be able to come back to again and again and not forget where you left off in the story. A good simple read...I loved it!

Only 3 stars
This is not up to the author's usual standard. It is far to contrived, There is no build up to make the actions of well known characters believable, & 3 out of 4 villains die in the same way though not the same time or place.

To Find Elizabeth Bennet
Another wonderful p&p variation. The characters are somewhat surprisingly different from cannon and make this story sing. Poor Lizzy; she has been beaten up in the last 3 stories I read by Melanie Schertz, but always for a good cause... the story!

Intriguing and lovely
The whole of Rosings and Hunsford are in an uproar, and some of the characters do shocking things, but it is a very interesting premise.
