The Royals of Longbourn: A Pride & Prejudice Variation
Mr and Mrs Bennet hide a royal secret about their family and Elizabeth is at the centre of it all.
Mr Darcy is curious about the Bennets from day one, and after a tormenting fight with his conscience, he decides he must know which leads him to a decision he will bitterly regret.
Elizabeth is asked to forgive and forget, which she struggles with; and we learn that once our heroine's good opinion is lost, it may be lost forever.
For a change, we see Darcy as the less distinguished of the two, and Bingley not able to deal with rejection.
This is an exciting and fast-paced story that includes most of our beloved characters and a few new ones.
It is low angst and clean.

Interesting
I did like this story. It does move fast and is low angst. I also love (spoiler) bad Bingley. I do not know how I feel about ODC. It feels like Darcy is hot and cold and changes his mind too fast. A few characters seem to have this issue. I did like ODC together but the waffling was frustrating. The story is fun and pretty original though. A fun quick read with better Bennets!

FABULOUS VARIATION
With Spanish royalty descent, Elizabeth and her brother, Henry, are raised as Bennets at Longbourn. As time passes, the regular characters of our favorites come to life with the exception of a very wonderful father, Thomas Bennet. This was an enticing and enchanting read with everyone getting what they deserved!

Seemed muddled
To this reader, the book read like something AI generated. Language seemed quite modern, and there were many events and quotations from videos as well as other books in addition to P&P. After the first 2 or so 3 chapters I almost stopped because the descriptions were so flowery and lengthy but skimmed the rest just to determine if the plot made it worthwhile to finish. The variation of the Elizabeth is not a Bennet trope was interesting but the execution was disjointed and disappointing.
Not recommended.

I must say that I found this variation to be very entertaining, even if a little far fetched! If you enjoy variations that are light and fun and wish to read a completely different story from the original, I believe you will enjoy it.

Damn Good!
I greatly enjoyed this book, it has a huge number of typing errors, but it's a good story. I love that we never see Mr Collins, or Lady Catherine de Bourgh. I especially like the fact that we only see Mr Wickham for a short time before he is dealt with.
