Three Dates with Mr. Darcy: A Pride & Prejudice Variation Anthology

by Elizabeth Ann West

Jane inhaled audibly through her nose

SEERIOUSLY?? :/ HOW HARD WAS IT TO WRITE "inhaled sharply"? what's with the annoyingly little details? what the actual fuck?

At this piece of intelligence, Jane lit from the bed. “You could not, oh please tell me you did not cut him so deeply as you are capable of doing. It likely took a great deal of courage for such a shy man to share his feelings.”

Meh! I grab every opportunity ii canget to get lost in the Austenverse - RETELLINGS OR NOT - but this one, although engaging, is QUITE poorly done if we consider how much potential it held.

"Georgiana dearest, I know I look a fright. But please set that aside as I must ask of you a most urgent favor." Darcy approached the piano forte with great alacrity. "Of course, I shall do anything for you."

MEH!! they did NOT talk like this.
