Kept at Netherfield by an un-persuadable Charles Bingley, and surprised by an impromptu visit from his cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam, Mr. Darcy looks set for a Christmas that is anything but restful. Throw in an uncanny ability to offend the one young lady his heart stubbornly refuses to ignore and the complicated machinations and missteps of those around him and the festive season could prove rather more eventful than anyone anticipated...
Join Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty and Lydia as they celebrate a very unexpected Christmas season. A festive variation of Jane Austen's beloved Pride and Prejudice .

This was another really fun Pride and Prejudice Variation set around Christmastime by Meg Osborne. I enjoyed seeing how the book changed what perspective things were being seen by periodically throughout the book allowing the reader to better connect with several characters including Kitty and Mary both of whom were written well in this story. I would have enjoyed a bit more of an epilogue at the end for a bit later on but it ended on a good note and I look forward to reading more by Meg Osborne in the future.
Bravo to Meg Osborne for highlighting the dreams of the forgotten sisters, Mary and Kitty Bennet, in this Christmas novella. Ms. Osborne stays true to Austen’s characters, while revealing the doubts that newly discovered love creates. This tale ends on Christmas Eve, but delightfully leaves the reader asking, “What happens next?”. A Twelfth Night sequel, perhaps?
This is a very sweet book, wherein each character is given what they deserve of a foliday evening. It treats quite compassionately with all my favorite characters, without exaggerating the worst characters beyond their canonical actions. Though there were some typographical errors, they ultimately did not detract from the pleasant feelings produced by the narrative, and I recommend this to readers of Pride and Prejudice variations of all kinds.
A sweet variation on Pride and Prejudice that brings Kitty and Mary more into the foreground. It is an easy read that would have garnered 5 stars but for the egregious spelling errors.
I was hoping that there would be more about Mary Bennett in this story. She's certainly my favorite Bennett sister and I wanted her to have a HEA with a desert gentleman. This book was a disappointment and Elizabeth was annoying.
