Elizabeth Bennet falls and looses her memory while visiting Pemberly with her aunt and uncle. She has no memory of the last year of her life - including Mr. Darcy or the Bingleys. Darcy is happy to take advantage to make a better impression on Elizabeth. He courts her as he should have hoping that she never remembers what happened before.

At only 112 pages this story does not drag on. The story description tells us the basic premise in that Elizabeth falls on the stairs as she learns that Mr. Darcy is returning to Pemberley that same day, not tomorrow, from Mrs. Reynolds who is guiding their tour of the estate. The loss of memory from that head injury is limited to memories of the last year. Thus it is that Darcy has his second chance to pay attentions to Elizabeth as she recovers at his estate and perhaps change her opinion of him, even form an attachment to him.
Of course, Caroline Bingley is there and she does her best to plant memories of how ODC argued while in company at Netherfield and even how Elizabeth was pleased with Wickham while the militia was stationed at Meryton.
Yes, Elizabeth does recover her memory. The point is thus if new memories of Darcy will outweigh the more negative ones from the past.

Read like an outline
The story is thereby is missing emotion and reactions. Also too much yelling and kicking inconsistent with the era. Rewrite needed

Oh the fall!
Lizzie met Darcy in the fall. They talked in the fall, they fell in love in the fall, they courted and married in the fall. Far too many of the fall in this book. Especially when it is an American expression. There are many other Americanisms which we English never used: go to, go find, and go whatever! They really spoiled a pleasing story for me.

There is nothing offensive about this book. It’s fine. I didn’t HATE it, despite the two-star review. However, there’s also nothing particularly intriguing about this book either. I was sucked in by the initial premise, but at just over 100 pages, it doesn’t exactly dig deep. It reads like fan fiction. There are lines and phrases directly lifted from the source material that just sound like the author tried too hard to fit them in.
Again, this was fine. A nice quick read. But it’s not great either.

One of those stories that could have been better with another round of editing.
Our dear couple's courtship proceeds more amicably when Elizabeth loses her memory of the past year when touring Pemberley and she sees only the kind, attentive Darcy. Miss Bingley is bad to the bone but Bingley finds some sort of spine. When Lizzy regains her memories I thought they should have some more discussion about the past but I guess she no longer felt it mattered.
There are so many extra apostrophes in plural proper names that it's not a bug, it's a feature.

A Short & Sweet Variation
I enjoyed this change in the story line. Like every one else I want more—more clarification, more sweet nothings, more Georgianna being strong and shy, more Colonel being Wickham’s nightmare.
I HIGHLY recommend this variation-when a novel has many people asking for more —. Ifs a Good Read!
