In this Pride and Prejudice variation nineteen year old Kitty Bennet i worried about an unwanted possible arranged marriage' so she decides to flee to Scotland. How will this impact on her future and the other unmarried Bennet daughters.
An enjoyable story

Decisions, decisions, oh what to do ……

This is an interesting sequel to Romance in Brighton that includes the other sisters and Georgiana as very minor secondary characters. That was rather disappointing since each is unique and different from the others. The final two chapters gave hints about their future possibilities as well as that of the Bennet parents, but left this reader asking what happens next. That lack earned the one star deduction. An epilogue is definitely needed.

Editing errors also were also disruptive at times. There many instances of situations where it appeared the author rewrote a sentence but did not cleanly remove the original sentence.

Despite the issues identified above, this is a very good story about Kitty’s growth and dilemma choosing between two suitors. Recommended as a gentle way to enjoy a lazy afternoon.

A Romance in Brighton sequel

Kitty is the center of the story. Kitty trying to figure out if she was going to marry a future Duke or one of the richest business owners was just to far fetched. But the side stories rescued the book. Mary has an interesting arc, the Bennet parents have an interesting arc. There is setup more potential stories for other characters also. I imagine there will be another sequel or maybe more than one.

If there are more stories to come for the Bennet daughters, they and their husbands may rule Britannia.

Another brilliant book by this author

I only have to see this author as written another book and I have to buy it . His Characters are great and do not alter from each book. This as it says is about Kitty/Late as she grows up to be an elegant young lady and it shows her development and marrage.
