A Convenient Marriage
All Six Books in A Convenient Marriage, A Pride and Prejudice Variation Series.
Longbourn's Lark
Mary Bennet is used to being the overlooked Bennet sister, but when Colonel Fitzwilliam accidentally enters her life, everything changes.
As cousin to Mr Darcy, Colonel Fitzwilliam knows what it's like to feel invisible. His experiences at war have left him with one goal in to marry, set up home and live in peace. When he witnesses the interaction between his cousin and Mary's sister, Elizabeth, he is determined his own happiness will not be the only end in mind.
Three Weeks in Kent
If her sister can marry well, and she can avoid Mr Collins, that is all the happiness Elizabeth Bennet can ask for. The first seems certain, with Mary and Colonel Fitzwilliam's wedding on the horizon. Alas, her own future is not yet close to settled, and she must endure three weeks in the company of Lady Catherine de Bourgh, who takes an immediate dislike to the elder of the two Bennet sisters.
Fitzwilliam Darcy is happy to accompany his cousin's party to Rosings, although he tires of his aunt's scheming within hours. He determines on a solution that might offer both he and Elizabeth an escape from the machinations of their families, but can he convince her of its wisdom?
Suitably Wed
Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet have decided to marry for the most pragmatic of so that they might each avoid being forced into less amiable matches. Darcy has succeeded in utterly alienating Lady Catherine de Bourgh. His cousins rally to his defence, but the marriage is beset by challenge, and once it becomes apparent that at least one party feels rather more strongly than they admitted, the practicality of the match is called into question.
Lizzy's happy future with Mr Darcy is blighted only by the realisation that her sister, Jane, is miserable. Mr Bingley has suddenly departed Hertfordshire for London, and the match that seemed the most natural is all but abandoned.
A Visit to Scotland
News that his cousin, Anne de Bourgh, has eloped to Scotland puts Mr Darcy in hot pursuit, leaving behind his wife in London and determined, at last, to confront George Wickham for his selfish actions.
Elizabeth blames herself for what has happened and feels sure her husband blames her too. With Colonel Fitzwilliam too ill to escort her she is desperately considering following her husband northwards alone, until she crosses paths with Mr and Miss Bingley who will not be prevented from accompanying her.
The Consequence of Haste
Fitzwilliam Darcy is willing to accommodate the couple at Pemberley for Anne's sake if not for her husband's, for he puts little faith in Wickham's promised intentions to change.
With Georgiana temporarily displaced by the new arrivals, Elizabeth embarks on the running of Pemberley whilst keeping her new family together. How will the new Mr and Mrs Darcy fare in trying to do what is best for their family and friends, as well as preserving their own happiness?
A Surprise Engagement
Jane Bennet has been swept up in a courtship nobody expected with a new arrival to Hertfordshire. Elizabeth Darcy can do nothing but witness this surprising turn of events from a distance, and quiz her other sisters for information.
Fitzwilliam Darcy is determined to support Charles Bingley through his perceived disappointment, but when his friend's spirits lift in a growing friendship with Georgiana, will Darcy encourage

Longbourn's Lark: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
I loved this story so far and how all the characters were written. Mary and Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam's story was so well done in this book and I enjoyed seeing how the other couples interacted as well. I look forward to seeing what happens next in the next book in the series.
Three Weeks in Kent: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
This book continues were Longbourn's Lark left off but the focus shifts from being centered on Mary & Richard to having a stronger focus on Elizabeth and Darcy. While the romantic focus in this story has shifted Mary and Richard still have a very large role in this story and I enjoyed seeing more of them. This book also starts to set up a story for Anne de Bourgh as well. I look forward to reading more of this story.
Suitably Wed: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
This volume takes place mostly in London and revolves mostly around Elizabeth and Darcy's short engagement and beginning of their marriage alongside Mary and Colonel Fitzwilliam. Darcy and Elizabeth's relationship deepens throughout this book and they admit their feelings before the end of this book only to come across a new problem in the form of Anne de Bourgh running off to elope. I look forward to finding out what happens in the next book and how the story continues since the end of this one left me hanging a bit.
A Visit to Scotland: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
This book continues were the last book in this series left off and has a lot of focus on Anne & Wickham as well as Wickham's relationship with Darcy. There are signs that he may be able to reform with Anne and actually care about her but it is too soon to say for sure, hopefully we will see some improvement to him in the next book in this series.
The Consequence of Haste: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
I am really enjoying this series and how all the characters are evolving as well as seeing the different relationships present and developing. This book continues with Wickham's character improving himself and trying to become better for Anne. We also get to see more of Georgiana in this book and I look forward to reading more about her in the next book in this series.
A Surprise Engagement: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
I really enjoyed this series as a whole and how all the characters were written. It was fun seeing how all their stories and romances came together and I enjoyed seeing some of the rarer pairings found in this series that I would not have expected to enjoy but they were written so well here that they worked. It would have been nice to have had an epilogue at the end of this but it left off on such a happy note that I can't really complain and left the story smiling. I look forward to reading more by this author in the future.

Poorly constructed and poorly edited and with many proofreading errors.
Much of the story was either contrived (Col Fitzwilliam and Mary instantly fall in love and become engaged within days of meeting) or contradictory (Bennet consents for Collins to marry Elizabeth with no explanation for why and no conversations with Elizabeth, but she is his favorite?)
I could not get past these weird story mistakes. Beyond Bennet’s willingness to give Elizabeth to Collins, there are plot points like the colonel’s parents are dead, but his older brother is not the earl? And then the colonel is an only child, except he has a brother. So confusing.
For a book that I had to buy, as it’s not in KU, I expect better quality. I made it to the 50% mark, and then I was faced with a romance and elopement between Anne de Bourgh and … Wickham!
Enough. This is time and money I’ll never recover. Best to move on to something better, and there are a lot of books to choose from KU and even stories that are free on fan fiction sites.
