Darcy, Knight Errant: A Pride and Prejudice Variation
How would Elizabeth and Darcy’s love story be changed if Elizabeth met Georgianna first?
While offering her support to her aunt in London, Elizabeth Bennet stumbles upon a timid young lady at the charity she volunteers at. With a smile and a few kind words, Elizabeth plants the seeds of a marvelous friendship. Despite the blossoming connection between them, Elizabeth's departure is inevitable as her duties back at Longbourn call her home. Nevertheless, they promise to keep in contact.
Georgianna finding a friend boosts Darcy's confidence in her progress, despite his initial uneasiness. Her buoyed spirt gives Darcy the confidence he needs to accompany his friend to Netherfield. Only soon after he arrives, he finds himself at an assembly he has no desire to be part of. Darcy instinctively reverts to his typical behavior around unfamiliar faces and things seem to be going well enough. That is until he receives a letter from his little sister, leading him to ponder on his own character and the person he aspires to become. Although an apology helps reconcile Elizabeth and Darcy, neither is prepared for the challenges that lie ahead.
As Mr. Collins makes his entrance, the situation becomes critical. Elizabeth bravely seeks aid, while Darcy confronts the challenge of becoming the person he has always strived to be.
Author’s Darcy, Knight Errant is the first in a new series of books. This sweet romance explores the repercussions of shouldering too many obligations and the challenging quest to relinquish burdens that aren't yours to bear. If you're into sweet tales of love that delve into the process of healing from familial expectations and the complicated dynamics of falling in love with your sister’s best friend, then this story could be your cup of tea.

I dislike misogynistic tropes where authors seek their revenge on (mostly) female characters by humiliation, punishment, or even phisical abuse. In this case Lizzy relishes the cruel treatment of both her parents, under the pretext of them being neglectful. Lizzy celebrating sending Mr. Bennet to prison, or throwing Mrs. Bennet out of Longbourn is cringey and it reveals a strange revenge fetish by the author…

More to the story than I thought.
There is a darker aspect to this story than I had anticipated. If Elizabeth hadn't been 20, I'd have called it child abuse.
It was a gripping story, starting out sweet, but once Collins arrived at Longbourn it turned icky. The parents weren't great up to then, but they also got worse with the whole icky Collins debacle.
Darcy, is the knight and saves the day day, Elizabeth, her sisters... Etc.
I liked the writing, but personally I don't think the cover reflected the story at all. I was sure, it'd be much more lighthearted based on the cover art.
Also, I was left wishing for a little more detailed backstory on Bennet. Not just knowing about his being compromised and death of baby boy. Especially considering he didn't, start out that way.

Please get an editor!!
Elizabeth meets Georgiana Darcy first during a stay in London, and volunteering at a charity. Elizabeth attempts to cheer up and befriend the quiet and sad girl, and they quickly become fast friends. Darcy is happy for the improvement in Georgiana, and knows that it's due to her new friendship. He goes to Hertfordshire with the Bingleys, and delivers the infamous insult at the assembly, not realizing that he's insulting Georgiana's new best friend. Luckily, Elizabeth knows a bit about Georgiana's brother from conversations with her, so Elizabeth is much more forgiving and understanding. Darcy and Elizabeth soon strike up a friendship.
This is an evil Mr and Mrs Bennett version, but also an evil Mr Collins. Elizabeth is somewhat of a wonder woman, who runs the family estate in the absence of a decent father. The nice twist is that her other sisters are more or less forced into being more responsible and caring for each other, in the absence of a decent mother and father. Elizabeth bears the weight of the world, and finds out when Mr Collins comes that she's being utterly used. That's when Darcy, "knight errant," comes in.
This is a nice story, with some very bad villains, and some very good comeuppances for them. However, there are so very many errors throughout the book that the flow of the story is constantly being interrupted. Punctuation is bad. There are many missing words and extra words, and sentences that don't make sense. There's a lot of wrong word usage, such as "parish" instead of "perish." Once, Netherfield was called Longbourn. It goes on and on, and kind of ruins a good thing.
Although the book desperately needs cleaning up, it's a sweet story, with some nice romance. I recommend it.

A very powerful story for this genre.
I really love this author’s work, she’s a great storyteller. As per her notes at the end of the book she has struggled with dyslexia all her life and given that, it’s understandable that some editing mistakes leak through. I know that this will bother many readers. If you can get past this issue you’re going to love this Darcy, and this Elizabeth, and this Georgiana.
As in other stories of hers, the Bennets are over the top horrible, one or the other, in this case both. Elizabeth is so badly treated she is forced to run away to avoid being wed to Mr Collins. And he is scary cruel in this book. Luckily he is dealt with and pays for his actions. I wish we would have found out what happened to him in the end.
Ultimately it is Darcy that facilitates Elizabeth’s rescue and thus he becomes her Knight. But it is her friendship with Georgiana from the beginning of the story that enables Elizabeth to safely go into hiding when she comes up with the idea for Elizabeth to live with her and Mrs Annesley in her establishment in London. With naturally her brothers visiting often. Ooo yes! It’s a very sweet and slow building romance for Our Dear Couple.
I liked the Matlocks in this book. And Bingley is such a good guy here too.
The main theme of the book is Elizabeth’s recovery from not only physical pain but the emotional trauma of being betrayed by those she worked for, her parents, to keep Longborn healthy and cared for. The ledgers, the tenants, the crops that kept all of them going. What was it all for? Mrs Annesley has a lot of wisdom to share with her ‘charges.’ Jane did her part but could not take everything over when Elizabeth left. Jane suffered most from not having her sister there for her. Jane grew in this story too. And Lizzy’s younger sisters weren’t as silly as they were reported to be.
I did really love this story, and I hope it will get some polishing up so that the JAFF community as a whole will see what great potential this author has. Recommended for JAFF readers.

3.5 stars
This interesting story reads well until some 50% in, when you realize Elizabeth, unlike her namesake, has no imperfections. She doesn’t misjudge Darcy, she doesn’t believe Wickham; she does nothing wrong. In fact, she does everything too right, including running Longbourn and caring for her sisters, her tenants, and Netherfield’s tenants. Little wonder that she says (regarding a big change in her life), straight faced, “It will be something to get used to, not having the weight of the world on my shoulders.”
The Big Road Trip occurs about 50% in, and absolutely no drama ensues. I would think a person wanting to hide their location would avoid going out in public, but apparently not. Caroline is in the wings in this book, but you would think she could inflict major damage on Lizzie’s situation.
Minus drama, we have numerous trips to the modiste and Hatchard’s, and to the theatre.
The proposal occurs, and Elizabeth’s acceptance, oddly, has the cool detachment of Mr Collins’ proposal: “Do you need to understand why I feel comfortable committing myself to you? First of all, your diligent stewardship of your estate is clear in how you tirelessly assist those who require aid. Even from a distance, you are constantly busy seeing that everyone and everything is cared for.”
The Gardiners are underutilized.
The reader needs to look out for the occasional typo, like this: “He had learned things through his investigators that would put him in a postilion of power.”
A book with those elements would usually bore me, but Ms Lang somehow makes it interesting and well-paced. For that I will round up to four stars instead of rounding down to three.

Compelling story; needs some editing
I gave this story 3 1/2 stars, rounded down to 3 for lack of a good editor. The story itself was very compelling, although heartbreaking in spots. I loved this version of Elizabeth and Darcy and their highly developed sense of responsibility for the lives of others. I ached for Elizabeth suffering at the hands of her parents. With a good editor, this book could be a 4 1/2 to 5 star read.

Sweet story
Sweet story of a strong second daughter raising and caring for her sisters while withstanding abuse from her parents. My only complaint about this story is Jane. Granted, she is never my favorite character. Her only redeeming quality is “She’s not so beautiful for nothing” and she sees the world through rose tinted lenses. She has no accomplishments except being nice and embroidery. In this telling she’s even less. Poor Jane is just wilting because Elizabeth decides to protect herself and leave home instead of just ignoring the abuse and staying with her for the next 6 months. The entire time Elizabeth is gone from Longbourn Jane is wan and distressed. She refuses to marry unless Elizabeth is there regardless of the fact that her parents would have control over her if she returned before her majority. I actually liked this version of Bingley. He stood his ground and continued to court Jane. I was surprised that he still wanted to marry her especially when Darcy and Elizabeth had to wait for Jane to leave on her wedding trip to confront her parents so as not to upset her.
Sorry for the Jane rant. I recommend this book. It does need editing. Not so bad to make me stop reading but somewhere in the beginning of the book Darcy referred to Elizabeth as Miss Elizabeth Darcy. LOL. Lots of little things like that.

Cinder-Lizzy story
Interesting plot, almost a Cinderella -trope, with a wonderful Lizzy who does not have much self-confidence. Strong Georgiana, good Darcy, dreadful Bennet parents, and lovely sisters. Really needed better proofreading and editing and it could have had 5 stars.

An absolutely adorable story, and I honestly loved it. My only complaint is that I wish the author would have an editor take a look through as there were a distracting number of grammatical errors. I would still recommend it overall, though.

Charming story
This Pride and Prejudice variation has the right amount of angst and comeuppance, but is seriously marred by innumerable typographical errors.

I loved it!
It was so enticing that I couldn’t put it down, this book grabbed my interest from the very first page. I couldn’t put it down, I had to know what happened next. The story is well written with a very good storyline. You will see the most beloved characters in a whole new way. This is a Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice variation. This is the first in a new series of books. This sweet romance explores the repercussions of shouldering too many obligations and the challenging quest to relinquish burdens that aren't yours to bear. If you're into sweet tales of love that delve into the process of healing from familial expectations and the complicated dynamics of falling in love with your sister’s best friend, then this story could be your cup of tea. How would Elizabeth and Darcy’s love story be changed if Elizabeth met Georgianna first? While offering her support to her aunt in London, Elizabeth Bennet stumbles upon a timid young lady at the charity she volunteers at. With a smile and a few kind words, Elizabeth plants the seeds of a marvelous friendship. Despite the blossoming connection between them, Elizabeth's departure is inevitable as her duties back at Longbourn call her home; nevertheless, they promise to keep in contact. Georgianna finding a friend boosts Darcy's confidence in her progress, despite his initial uneasiness. Her buoyed spirt gives Darcy the confidence he needs to accompany his friend to Netherfield. Only soon after he arrives, he finds himself at an assembly he has no desire to be part of and Darcy instinctively reverts to his typical behavior around unfamiliar faces and things seem to be going well enough. That is until he receives a letter from his little sister, leading him to ponder on his own character and the person he aspires to become. Although an apology helps reconcile Elizabeth and Darcy, neither is prepared for the challenges that lie ahead. As Mr. Collins makes his entrance, the situation becomes critical as Elizabeth bravely seeks aid, while Darcy confronts the challenge of becoming the person he has always strived to be. So with all that and more this story pulls you in and holds you tight. It’s a must read. I highly recommend to everyone.

4.5 stars rounded up to 5
This is a lovely story that is just as the author promised in the description — the growth of Darcy and Elizabeth individually and their journey to each other. Georgiana, Mary and Lydia are delightful young ladies who are ignored by other authors. The Bennet parents’ selfishness is clearly displayed. The usual villains are present but mostly just in passing.
One issue and one disappointment resulted in the 4.5 of 5 stars rating. The disappointment is the rather abrupt ending. Every character has an ending description but no detail or hint of their futures beyond the final confrontation. Too many unanswered questions! The issue is that of the amount of editing errors from missing words to totally incorrect words within some sentences.
Despite the problems, this is recommended for readers who enjoy a thoughtful story with low angst.

Darcy, Knight Errant offers a delightful twist on the beloved Austen classic by letting Elizabeth meet Georgianna first and the result is charming, emotional, and wonderfully engaging. Jaime Marie Lang beautifully explores healing, family expectations, and the tender complexities of falling for your sister’s closest friend. The bond between Elizabeth and Georgianna adds new depth, while Darcy’s journey toward becoming a better man is both touching and satisfying. Fans of sweet, character-driven romance will adore this thoughtful re-imagining. Highly recommended for readers who love gentle storytelling with heartfelt growth and a fresh spin on Pride and Prejudice.
Read
November 15, 2024In this version, Lizzy meets Georgiana first, and they become fast friends before Darcy travels to Hertfordshire with his friend, Bingley. Lizzy's pre-existing relationship with Georgiana takes out some of the sting of Darcy's insult at the assembly, and they eventually realise they care for one another.
This version of Pride and Prejudice features an abusive Mr and Mrs Bennet, and a vicious Mr Collins. Lizzy and her sisters love each other and try to make the best of things, but Lizzy is forced to flee when her parents refuse to accept her refusal of Mr Collins' proposal.

It was boring and too dark. I kind of understand where it wanted to go, but the characters were too much of a single characteristic—either too perfect, too cruel, too misogynistic, too childish, or too dumb. It got tiring. The friendship with the sister felt like a plot device since there weren’t even two pages before they were suddenly perfect best friends. Lizzi was Saint Maria, and Darcy was a fool manipulated by the plot. And the parents? I don’t know, didn’t care. It wasn’t gripping or engaging for me.
February 8, 2025
This variation is well written. Elizabeth is saintly (too saintly? I think so). Darcy reforms his character very quickly and acts as Elizabeth's knight in shining armour, as the title suggests. Wickham and Lady Catherine do not feature in this book but are talked of. Like all the villains they are dealt with in a satisfactory way, the nasty ones (Collins and Mr & Mrs Bennet) in particular. This variation did not keep my interest until the end. I kind of lost interest in the romance. This is still worth a read though and much better than a lot of variations on offer.

Great set downs
I was hoping to find a book where the bad guys get what they deserve and I did ! Caroline gets a Lon set down from Mr. Darcy and perhaps worse than she deserves in life. As for the Bennet parents, Mr. Bennet really gets it and Mrs. Bennet wasn't far behind.
If there's been an epilogue I would have given 5 stars. The story was wrapped up nicely but could have been more. That being said, I would recommend this book. I was thoroughly engrossed in the story from beginning to end.

Perfect!!
All of the lows were sad and hurtful but thankfully not heavily dwelled on. All of the highs were wonderful and empowering. The villains were all dealt with in very fitting ways, and there's no long extra chapter giving details of everyone's 'happily-ever-after' to slog through. Instead the ending is a short but perfect bit of very fitting humor.
There are a huge number of typos though!

Entertaining variation. I enjoyed the interesting storyline. The Bennet parents are a piece of work. Mt only complaint is there are numerous typos -- from misspelled words to repeat wording. Ms Lang, please take the time to read it aloud or better yet write in Word with spell check and grammar check turned on so this isn't a continuing problem with you books. I really enjoyed the story, so please don't let your readers down!

Well written
Sorry I could not finish it had to stop at the 50% beware Collins is horrible and Mrs Bennett is even worse. As well as Mr Bennet . loved the first half. Miss Darcy is very well written as is Catch and Bingley. Usually don't care for his character at all. As I've said its a good story just too much for me to handle right now my anxiety is bothering me right now.

Awful Bennet Parents, Amazing Bennet Sisters
Even with the awful parents (a trope I personally enjoy), I found this to be a fun read. Darcy and Elizabeth finding love with each other so much easier than in canon, and I just wanted to eat them up. And after the climax, the author didn't drag out the end. I appreciate that so much.

Good story
I enjoyed this. I would have enjoyed it more if it had been properly proofed by a human. "Staid" is not "stayed". There were a few typos, which I was able to overlook. However, the wrong word, spelled correctly, in a sentence I cannot.

Yes, yes, yes!
What a wonderful variation of P&P. I loved how the characters responded to the situations involved in the plot. I will definitely read more from this author!

charities
In this variation, Elizabeth and Georgiana meet at a charity where they are teaching other ladies. They begin a friendship that Darcy is not so sure of until he meets Elizabeth for himself.
