Darcy was not looking to fall in love. He thought he had it all: wealth, privilege, and ardent passion for his sport. Then he meets Miss Elizabeth Bennet, and soon thereafter he knows that she is the woman with whom he is destined to spend his life.

Having suffered a traumatic loss, Elizabeth knows the pain of heartache. She is determined to shield herself against forming strong attachments so she might never feel that way again. Then Mr. Darcy comes along, and he has a way of melting all her defenses.

Featured Reviews

A Lasting Love Affair is a clever reimagining of Pride and Prejudice. In this version, Elizabeth’s beloved sister Jane has died due to the effects of a “trifling cold.” Elizabeth eagerly leaves the sadness of Longbourn behind to live with Mr. Bennet’s estranged, wealthy older sister. In this retelling, Mr. Darcy never visited Netherfield, but instead meets Elizabeth near her aunt’s home. Elizabeth was so hurt by Jane’s death that she tries to close her heart to Darcy, but he breaks through her defenses; however, a series of misunderstandings separate them for a time. Ironically, it is Lydia’s elopement with Wickham that brings them together again.

Such as any book of Ms P O Dixon, this is such a lovely mix of the original and its variation. There were new charcaters added, who did not distract away from our couple's love story. Loved the way the story had unfolded, how true to its title the story is. This is a must read for all (esp avid fans of Pride and Prejudice)
