Three different scenarios when Mr. Darcy comes to Hertfordshire with his sister are presented in this collection of P&P variations. Talented writer, Kimbelle Pease presents a delightful brotherly promise to his sister and what can ensue in three separate situations.
In the original P&P, Darcy comes alone with the Bingleys and Hursts into Hertfordshire, but in this set of variations, a new element, Georgiana Darcy, is the catalyst to change so that her brother has less of a chance of destroying his own chance at happiness out of a misguided sense of duty or misunderstandings. First, she wants a friend and insists Darcy form acquaintances among the Hertfordshire locals with female relations who are Georgiana's age. Then, she insists he play nice with the local ladies for a change and not sabotage her chances at said friendship. This leads to some excellent romantic comedies when Darcy fumbles the attempt all three times and needs a rescue.
But, Darcy isn't the only one in need of a comeuppance when the various scenarios show the Bingleys and Bennets also getting a shakeup in their dovecotes, too. Wickham is still being his insidious self, Lady C is arrogant, and Mr. Collins the ... but wait, one has him going through some changes, too...
While these are light and fun, there are serious elements, as well. There are consequences for bad characters who refuse to change and there are a resort of romances and family dynamics, as a result.
All in all, these were engaging and entertaining. P&P variations lovers will have sport for choice here!

Fun
Three re-imaginings of Darcy and Elizabeth's meeting at the assembly and immediately thereafter. The major factor that changes all of these scenarios is the presence at Netherfield of Georgiana Darcy, who is given a personality and a backbone, and who is determined for her brother to find a wife who will be a sister and friend for her. In all three episodes, she gets to know the Bennett sisters and facilitates both Darcy's and Bingley's relationships with a Bennett sister.
I loved the first two vagaries for their lighthearted tone and wonderful humor. The third episode was much more melodramatic and angsty, featuring an abusive Mr and Mrs Bennett. The author offered the three tales which each ended abruptly, with a brief wrap-up episode, supposedly for all three, at the end. This is a different and original way to structure the book, but I'm not sure how effective it was. The wrap-up seemed to only apply to the final vagary. However, the book is well written and well edited. I recommend it highly.

Entertaining
An interesting and eclectic mix of variations inspired by Jane Austen’s classic novel Pride and Prejudice by Kimbelle Pease. The addition of Don Jacobson made me laugh out loud.

Georgiana makes a difference
I thoroughly enjoyed these three clever what if vagaries. Georgiana is a force to be reckoned with, and her intervention is enough to steer her brother in better directions. Even Miss Bingley gets a chance. Loved the play with names of incidental characters! Highly recommend this enjoyable read. My only real complaint is the use of wonton where clearly wanton was intended. Too amusing!

Wonderfully Humorous!
These three novellas are each wonderful stories in their own rights. Combined they become absolutely perfect. I honestly lost track of how often I found myself over- come by huge belly laughs. 5 very happy stars!

Three stories, concerning what would be the result if Georgiana Darcy arrived at Netherfield with her brother.
Enjoyable and well-written stories though no favourite pairings.

This book is three vagaries in one. I love the idea of a common beginning with three different branches of how things might turn out from that point. The common beginning is that Georgiana Darcy accompanies her brother to Hertfordshire and exacts a promise that he makes nice with Bingley’s neighbors and that he meets a woman with sisters who can become true friends to her. Darcy, in three different variations, more or less caters to his sister’s wishes.
The stories are fun, but I felt the first one could have been edited down to a shorter version. There are also some grammatical errors. I know the author makes use of beta readers (great idea), but maybe should use them in stages…perhaps first beta, then ARC readers to capture more errors. Anyway, the stories are good and worth reading, errors and all.
I love her use of fellow author, Don Jacobson, who makes a cameo appearance as a Darcy butler, former Colonel and future love interest of Lady Catherine all in one. Now, that’s quite a trio of fun!

An interesting premise
Pease writes well, though less reliance on auto spelling would be helpful. I couldn’t but laugh when Lizzy was a described as a “wonton”. The first two vagaries work well, so I thought the ending of the first one was a bit rushed. The third I felt was more forced and it became a bit melodramatic for me. I did enjoy the characters and the dialogue, Plus I like the concept of sisterhood present in all three stories.

No Evil Should be Seen, Heard, or Spoken
Hilarious and sweet loving couples! Three tales of how our dear couples meet, court, and marry.
I adored Georgiana's role in each vagary. She was pivotal in these matches occurring sooner than in canon.
This book can be read in several hours with cups of tea. I recommend these enjoyable stories.

Lovely
There is no better word for this book but lovely. I felt happy reading it and it made me smile multiple times! But really, an apothecary named Mason Jars? And Mr Darcy's valet named Carpe? Enjoy the redemptions and love! I highly recommend!

Witty banter!
The dialog had some of the best give and take I have ever read. I really appreciated that it was not mean or degrading. Spoiler: the Bennet sisters stand up for themselves. I was cheering them on. 💕

Needs better editing
Interesting mix of three stories with similar themes as we see the Bennet sisters combine forces with Georgiana, Bingley, and others to resolve problems for Elizabeth and Darcy. The first story seemed well developed and I would have rated it 4 stars, although there were several missing words and typos. Second and third stories had many more editing and proofreading errors, which I find very disconcerting when trying to follow the mood and story line.

A Fabulously Beautiful Beginning to Ending.
These three vagaries are a must read. Darcy is so very different and in more down to earth than previously portrayed. In two of them Wickham is dealt with quickly and effectively. I highly recommend this book.
It will be a permanent addition for my all time favorites collection.

Kinda cute what if scenerios. I liked the first two better than the last because I never like it when Mr. Bennet tries to force Lizzy into marrying Collins. But I do like it when the girls stand up to show their parents' weaknesses. And when lessons are learned.
