I finished this book in a single sitting. It was wonderful and engaging and the characters were beautifully made. It’s a perfect prequel for one of the best Pride and Prejudice Variation novels out there but definitely stands on its own.
I know I read this story, most likely pre-publication on a fan fiction site. But, I just saw it was on sale on Amazon (thank you friends for pointing this out!) and bought a copy. I remember really loving the character of Rebecca, who is Fitzwilliam Darcy's grandmother in L.L. Diamond's worlds. I am happy to now have a copy and to be able to read it again.

a charming romance
A delightful short novella retelling the romance between Darcy’s grandparents. Charming language and narrative throughout paints a picture of a couple not unlike Darcy and Elizabeth themselves.
