Or How I learned to stop worrying and learned to like this book.
I only liked the first book in this series A Constant Love; so it would have taken a lot to make me love the sequel and I didn't. This is a book that is OK. If you love detail; and obscure bits of business you might like this book. But I felt bogged down by unnecessary detail.
But what I found most unappealing was the book within in a book disguised as 'Dream sequences' The dreams were revealed chronologically, in extreme detail and with chapter numbers. There are two dream sequences; the first is Georgie's and is interspersed through the first half of the book while the second part is shoehorned in amid Lizzy's child birth sequence. Were I the editor I would have killed the entire dream sequences perhaps shortening Georgiana's to a paragraph 'Georgiana awoke and saw her husband Matthew sleeping in the lamp light. Her recurrent nightmare of being married to Wickham had been just that. She wasn't a prisoner, her brother was safe and Wickham was Lydia Bennet's problem. It seemed the dreams came when she ate a heavy dinner. '
Another pet Peeve the author refers to the times where women take to their beds to give birth as Jane's birth and Lizzy's birth. Which of course it isn't, it is Jane's confinement or the birth of Jane's child.
If you love angst this book is chock full of it. Actually it is chock full of almost angst. Several times almost bad things happen but phew all is well after all. And that was what really made me lose interest in the book. When almost bad things happen but never really do you start to know that nothing really bad is going to happen so when a crisis or danger crops up you shrug and say it will resolve well. Kind of like the way you know that anyone who has their name above the title in a movie isn't going to die in the opening scene; well except for Drew Barrymore in Scream. A minor character does pass away, how minor? Well when the news is announced I was struggling to recall who it was and why anyone would care and who Lord so and so was.
I was tempted to give up many many many times. But I persevered and I am so glad I did because the last 20% of the book was mostly interesting. A bunch of characters just rocked it; and Lady Catherine gets a set down that makes Lizzy's in P&P look both kind and sweet. Lizzy finally returns to herself who was mostly missing for both the first and most of this book in the series.

Powerful Arc
This second installment in Ms Turner's "Constant Love" series brings all of the stories to their happy conclusion. "Change of Legacies" continues to strong underlying character development for the central and (barely) secondary characters. The dream sequences can seem to be a discontinuity...But they are revealing insights into the manner in which the mind bends reality. They also act as a vehicle to provide a plausible alternative narrative. I am not certain, though, about how well the main plot was served by the two parallel if different dream lines. Yes, Matthew does appear in Georgianna's dream to save her, and Lizzy saves Darcy (in a way) in hers...Reflective of their roles in life...But is that enough to include these lengthy, multi-chapter sequences? That is the author's creative decision. I urge readers to place these well-written and, I am sure, well-intentioned devices in context and read them through. They will enrich the experience. 4.5 stars

This was not a stand-a-lone book. It followed Turner’s ‘A Constant Love’ and continued the story lines and character adventures already established in the first book. You will need to read the other book first.
Like a carpenter fitly joins two boards together with a dove-tail connection, Turner seamlessly joined our story lines together and continued the journey of our favorite P&P characters.
Story lines: There was a bunch of them: mostly centered around music of some sort.
Georgiana [Lady Stanton] and Captain Sir Matthew Stanton
Kitty [Catherine] Bennet and Andrew Ramsey
Brief reference to Lydia and minimal page time with Wickham
Jane and Bingley, always there offering comfort and counsel when needed
Miss Mary Bennet and Mr. David Stanton
Lord Anglesey and Lady Tonbridge [I love these people]
Colonel Fitzwilliam, his parents Lord and Lady Ellen Brandon, and Marguerite Durand
Comic relief [somewhat] The Bakers [wow…that was interesting]
Characters galore who were introduced, used and then moved on
Historical events and their aftermaths
Regency era pregnancy information: I went to: elenagreene [dot] com [backward slash /] regencycb [dot] html or http://www.elenagreene.com/regencycb....
I was a bit worried about Elizabeth getting up and about too soon. I knew there were conditions for the confinement after birth; however, the above site said it was usually left up to the patient to decide the conditions they would tolerate after birth.
Villains:
First, foremost, and always… Wickham [the bastard] whatever he touched he destroyed. Always looking for a monetary angle, he left a wake of destruction in his path.
Mr. Stanton [a Mr. Brocklehurst type], evil horrid man.
Lady Catherine made her august presence known a few times. As much as we love that scene in P&P between her and E in the little wilderness at Longbourn, Turner gave us another that I believe is even better. It was between Lady C and Marguerite Durand. OMG!! It was awesome.
This story continues the everyday life and times of Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy. They are the hub of this series of stories with offshoots of other stories branching out in all directions. However, like all roads leading to Rome, all roads lead back to our dear couple. They are the center of the story with the spot light occasionally featuring one or the other of the couples.
What I didn’t like: I know literature and movies use dream sequence as a… symbol, flashback, flash-forward, fantasy, vision, dream, daydream, way to set apart a brief interlude from the main story or some other element. [Wikipedia] However, it shouldn’t take up chapters. After the first nightmare [I will not even call it a dream], I couldn’t handle it. I finally speed read or skipped over them. There were just too many. As I continued with the story, there were several references back to those dreams, but I didn’t feel the void by not having read them. The dreams weren’t exactly foretelling; however, they did affect the story. I just didn’t want to spend my time reading something that was not real. That sounds funny as the story isn’t real. I mean… real to the story. And besides, some of it was a freaking nightmare. The angst was awful.
What I did like: ‘Love Is in the Air’… hey, that should be a song. Wait, it is a song [1977 disco song sung by John Paul Young, written by George Young and Harry Vanda]. It seemed that everyone was in love, or wanted to be in love, was finding out they were in love, planning a wedding, was in a wedding, wanted to get married, was getting married, had just gotten married, wanted a baby, was having a baby, had a baby, and on and on it went. This unfolded like the calendar of events in the lives of our characters. It was a slow gentle read, minimal angst [if you can get past the nightmares], no explicit sex and the marriage bed was handled beautifully. There were a few fearful moments that grabbed your attention, but nothing too difficult. And then it ended. And there were enough threads left to carry over into another book.
There was a really interesting Author’s Notes at the end that gave references and explained how and what motivated the author.

This is the second of what the author states at the end of this book is to be a seven book series.
All of the Bennet sisters are featured as well as Georgiana.
This book is written almost as two parallel stories. We have dreams/nightmares told in detail by Georgiana and Elizabeth. And it is not just one from each. Both are presented in a way that at first you may believe you are reading reality. Some are angst filled and it is not difficult to imagine how the possessor of those particular dreams may find it hard to come back to reality upon awakening.
Georgiana and her new husband are on their wedding journey in Paris as we begin. There they discover that Wickham is not dead, they meet and become involved with the widow of a French ship's captain and draw the Colonel into helping her regain the property lost to her during the political turmoil in that country. This particular widow will gain your applause as she sets Lady Catherine in her place later in the story.
After the Stantons' return to England and informing the Bennets of Wickham's being alive (which has many repercussions) we continue to read about the other Bennet sisters and their own romances. We also read about continuing pregnancies for our two married ladies and how one such condition ends tragically due to a shock. The other pregnancy has a new slant but at the end of the book the author does explain her research so you know she is not just making up a scene to create drama in this story.
Georgiana is separated from her husband by his duties and thus the drama in their marriage is greater due to that condition of being apart. As with Persuasion there is discussion about wives traveling with their husbands who are captains of ships. We also have Mary reflecting about her trait of moralizing about others' behaviors as the object of her romantic interests makes some comments to her. Jane's and Bingley's first-born is a force with which to be reckoned. (The Bingleys are residing at Pemberley until their home is ready.) Little Bess has everyone dancing to her tune as only piano music seems to calm her down and her tantrums are not in any way those of a normal infant.
This book started slowly for me and I had put it down and then returned and reread the first part all over again. The story does pick up with some drama and romance for more than one as the tale develops. I did enjoy this book and look forward to reading the next.

I was disappointed with the too-lengthy dream scenes. I like the plot generally but it moved so SLOWLY. Not at all like the quick paced original Austen version. I think i would have liked it better if it was a little quicker pace and less dreams. Also, why was there no mid-wife available. Surely, there would have been one in the village for the town-folk. But i digress. It was well written, but just not fast paced enough for me.

Loved it
This book was very interesting many strange happenings. Loved Darcy and Lizzies marriage and how the thought about raising their children. .Will read it again also the companion book A Constant Love. Liked the ending.

April 17, 2016As I make plans for all of the books in this series, I've come to realize that they'll each have their own slightly different personality, which makes sense, as each is a complete book in its own right (this one comes in at 442 printed pages). So I'd like to introduce readers to A Change of Legacies. This WILL contain some spoilers for A Constant Love.
This book, while longer than A Constant Love, actually takes place over a shorter period of time. This is in part because it has two stories-within-the-story, and also because it has more subplots. As a result, there are fewer historical events featured, but historical accuracy was something that was still very important to me. Part of the reason the edits for it took so long was because much about pregnancy and childbirth needed to be updated when I found a new, more accurate source on these topics, and wanted to work in what I had learned.
The danger of childbirth (about one in five women died from it, during this time) is a key theme throughout. It's not something we think about as much, in the first world today, but poor Darcy faces an event that could have a happy outcome -- or could result in the death of his wife. It's difficult to say more without spoiling, but this leads to some of the most poignant moments between the two of them thus far in the series.
Some themes ended up feeling more relevant today than I had expected. At the end of A Constant Love, we finally saw a potential love interest for Mary, in Captain Stanton's clergyman brother, David. In the course of this book, he shows Mary a more tolerant, forgiving Christianity, versus the more judgmental one practiced by his father. That father does make an appearance, and let's just say that a Stanton family reunion is never a good idea. Back to Mary, though -- she was very fun to write as a romantic heroine because she's rather non-traditional for such a role, a little prudish and surprised at the idea that she might actually be in love. Part of the reason a series grew from the first book was because I wanted to write her romance, and I really enjoyed doing so.
Another theme is youthful mistakes, and there is an exploration of how Georgiana's might have changed things for everyone. In A Constant Love, Elizabeth's growing relationship with her new sister was a key part of the book, and while this is still there in Legacies, this time it's Darcy's relationship with his sister that is explored in more depth. He has been like a father to her for many years, but following her wedding to Captain Stanton, he must return to the role of brother, something he struggles with. Georgiana, meanwhile, has married the man she loves, but comes to see that there are some downsides to marrying the dashing naval captain -- he's not particularly domesticated.
The last theme I will mention is that of weak love vs. strong love. In this book there are several widows and widowers, and it's one of the widows who best articulates this. Along the lines of this theme, one character I have not yet mentioned is Colonel Fitzwilliam, who lost his arm at Waterloo and must face a life beyond the army, a life that may well include the weak love of an arranged marriage.
As in A Constant Love, where there were actually multiple constant loves, there are numerous changes of legacies within this one. I hope readers will find each of the plotlines interesting, and enjoy this second installment of the series. Now I must get back to work on the third!

5++++++
Have you ever read a book where you felt you had just come home? I did with this one. I was moved to tears, laughter and back again throughout. It was a seamless flow from Book 1 'A Constant Love' and it was wonderful to catch up with everyone.
Ms. Turner has given further depth to each of our favourite characters. To see the growth of Georgiana in her marriage to Matthew was wonderful. Having to learn to compromise and think of another without hurting their feelings. There were some wonderful scenes and some very upsetting ones. How they both handled them gave you such hope for their future. Georgiana maturing into more of an adult and relying on herself is more pronounced in this book.
Elizabeth and Darcy are also experiencing their own trials and tribulations as she carries their child and possibly heir. The struggles of giving birth and surviving during this time in history was so well woven into the story. How each handle their fears was realistic and at times heartbreaking. At one point, everyone is terrified of what is to come and my suspicions turned out to be correct.
Jane and Bingley's little daughter, Bess, was a force to be reckoned with! How they dealt with her was a delight. Mary too helped and here we get to see her blossom and grow, especially regarding her inner self awareness. Funny how true love does that... I would have to say that I truly enjoyed Catherine Bennet's journey. I think I find her overall maturity and 'joie de vivre' inspiring.
There is a dream twist to this story that I thought was brilliant. I could continue on and on with all that I loved about this book. I just don't think I could do it justice. I highly recommend this book and of course, Book 1 'A Constant Love'.

This review was first posted on Babblings of a Bookworm: http://babblingsofabookworm.blogspot....
This is book 2 in the ‘Constant Love’ series. The first book in the series, ‘A Constant Love’, is a sequel to Jane Austen’s ‘Pride & Prejudice’ and ‘A Change of Legacies’ picks up not long after the end of the previous book. Since this book is a sequel, there may be some spoilers for the first book of the series, but I have tried to keep things as spoiler free as possible.
In book 1 we saw more of Kitty and Georgiana, as those two ladies were launched into society by the new Mrs Darcy. I was particularly keen to catch up with Kitty, because she was just lovely. I was less fond of Georgiana and the first part of ‘A Change of Legacies’ particularly focuses on her. Since this is a family saga-type story, I was expecting to follow the various characters through the next stages of their lives and instead this book took a different turn. Instead of presenting just the events we get some speculation on what could have happened if past events had unfolded differently. Georgiana is happy in her life, but she has begun to have dreams featuring George Wickham; specifically, she has recurring nightmares that instead of confessing her elopement plan to her brother while she was at Ramsgate, instead she allowed Wickham to convince her to elope. We all know from ‘Pride & Prejudice' that Wickham’s chief object was unquestionably Georgiana’s fortune and so, once the knot is tied he would have no need to be kind to her - in Georgiana’s dreams, he is not kind to her at all – she is merely a captive, held while Wickham tries to negotiate for her dowry. This alternate dream storyline provides an interesting reminder of the rights of women in the period (i.e. very limited). Personally, I think that if Wickham had succeeded in eloping with Georgiana he’d have been careful to keep the charm up, show her off in public and try and force Darcy to accept him through gritted teeth as a brother and an equal, but this is Georgiana’s subconscious at play, not mine!
Although this is generally a saga-style story and therefore not filled with overly-dramatic events, the dream events are quite dramatic and these, coupled with another circumstance (I’m trying not to spoil anything here, hence the vagueness!) led me to be concerned enough about the fate of one of the characters that I had to peep ahead to check that the book wouldn’t be taking a sinister turn! Georgiana confides in Elizabeth of the dreams, resulting in Elizabeth having dreams of her own where she imagines the difference a successful elopement for Georgiana might have had on her past with Darcy.
By this time, Georgiana has joined the family at Pemberley. The Bingleys are staying with the Darcys while the former’s new manor house is being constructed. It’s quite a fair size house party, often including further sisters, which gives us a chance to catch up with them, and see how far they have come. Unfortunately, we don’t get a great deal of Kitty time (or Catherine, as she now prefers to be known). However, we get to see Mary, and how she is changing. Through the influence of a family connection of Georgiana’s, Mary comes to see herself afresh, and it’s a somewhat painful experience:
“His idea of being a Christian is in thinking himself more pious than anyone else, and entirely without sin. There is no kindness and no generosity in his Christianity, and certainly no forgiveness; he shall cast the first stone, every time.”
His words cut through Mary painfully, for she recognised in them the way she had thought of herself all these years.
Poor Mary! But although it’s unpleasant to look at yourself and find something wanting, realising that is an important step in changing and Mary continues to become a more pleasant companion. It’s good to see her come into flower.
My favourite characters are always Darcy and Elizabeth, and we get some time with them here. There are some lovely interchanges between them:
“Fitzwilliam Darcy, sometimes I regret that I taught you to teaze so well,” she said.
“You could not help it, even if you tried. Someone who is by nature so good at teasing must necessarily teach those close to her, so long as they are receptive to the teaching.”
If you like a saga-style story and enjoyed the first book in the series I should think you’d enjoy this read too. At the end of the previous book there were some story threads which hadn’t been resolved, but this is not the case with this book so there aren’t many leads on where the story will head in the next instalment, but when the time comes I’ll be interested to see where Sophie Turner will take her characters next. I’d rate this as a 4 star read.
*I was provided with an e-book of this story by the author for my honest review.
This is book 2 in the ‘Constant Love’ series. The first book in the series, ‘A Constant Love’, is a sequel to Jane Austen’s ‘Pride & Prejudice’ and ‘A Change of Legacies’ picks up not long after the end of the previous book. Since this book is a sequel, there may be some spoilers for the first book of the series, but I have tried to keep things as spoiler free as possible.
In book 1 we saw more of Kitty and Georgiana, as those two ladies were launched into society by the new Mrs Darcy. I was particularly keen to catch up with Kitty, because she was just lovely. I was less fond of Georgiana and the first part of ‘A Change of Legacies’ particularly focuses on her. Since this is a family saga-type story, I was expecting to follow the various characters through the next stages of their lives and instead this book took a different turn. Instead of presenting just the events we get some speculation on what could have happened if past events had unfolded differently. Georgiana is happy in her life, but she has begun to have dreams featuring George Wickham; specifically, she has recurring nightmares that instead of confessing her elopement plan to her brother while she was at Ramsgate, instead she allowed Wickham to convince her to elope. We all know from ‘Pride & Prejudice' that Wickham’s chief object was unquestionably Georgiana’s fortune and so, once the knot is tied he would have no need to be kind to her - in Georgiana’s dreams, he is not kind to her at all – she is merely a captive, held while Wickham tries to negotiate for her dowry. This alternate dream storyline provides an interesting reminder of the rights of women in the period (i.e. very limited). Personally, I think that if Wickham had succeeded in eloping with Georgiana he’d have been careful to keep the charm up, show her off in public and try and force Darcy to accept him through gritted teeth as a brother and an equal, but this is Georgiana’s subconscious at play, not mine!
Although this is generally a saga-style story and therefore not filled with overly-dramatic events, the dream events are quite dramatic and these, coupled with another circumstance (I’m trying not to spoil anything here, hence the vagueness!) led me to be concerned enough about the fate of one of the characters that I had to peep ahead to check that the book wouldn’t be taking a sinister turn! Georgiana confides in Elizabeth of the dreams, resulting in Elizabeth having dreams of her own where she imagines the difference a successful elopement for Georgiana might have had on her past with Darcy.
By this time, Georgiana has joined the family at Pemberley. The Bingleys are staying with the Darcys while the former’s new manor house is being constructed. It’s quite a fair size house party, often including further sisters, which gives us a chance to catch up with them, and see how far they have come. Unfortunately, we don’t get a great deal of Kitty time (or Catherine, as she now prefers to be known). However, we get to see Mary, and how she is changing. Through the influence of a family connection of Georgiana’s, Mary comes to see herself afresh, and it’s a somewhat painful experience:

Pleasant sequel
I thought this was a really good story, well told.
Two things I didn’t like.
I know this has been mentioned by other reviewers but I disliked the dream sequences a lot. And you couldn’t just bypass them because sometimes you didn’t know when they started and stopped.
I can’t believe Wickham wasn’t disposed of by Georgiana’s husband. Knowing her past , concerning Wickham, and walking in on Wickham with his knife to Georgiana’s neck, i would have eliminated him permanently. There was no guarantee he would not find them and kidnap her or one of their children or worse sometime in the future.
I barely recommend this book.

I loved this second novel in the Constant Love series. This book focuses more on Georgiana and her marriage but still on Elizabeth and Darcy as well as they prepare for the birth of their first child. We also get to see Mary, the unmarried sister, perhaps start to fall in love, too--or at least she's interested in the younger brother of Georgiana's naval husband. There is so much wonderful development of the characters we know and love--and some intriguing angst, too--that this series remains one of my favorites. I don't want to say too much and give away spoilers, so I'll stop here. I'm so glad that Sophie Turner published her books so that I can re-read them over and over!! They are utterly delightful!!

Constant love
This is the second in a "Pride and Prejudice" vagary. This story continues in the lives of all of our fav characters. We see how each find love and heartache and come out happy in the end. There are some sadness that propels two of our main characters, Georgianna and Lizzy to alternative roads they could of traveled. This is done through their dreams. It was like getting to read three stories in one novel. It was done seamlessly and I enjoyed the sub plots immensely.
Totally enjoyed this read and highly recommend!

I loved the way this story was written between the character's dreams and the reality of what really happened in their lives. The characters were well developed and love was all around the family for each other in their time of need.
Children were born, marriages happened, sadness occurred and problems resolved somehow. There were twists and turns and even the Colonel found love after helping a French widow.
The plot was well thought out and fell into place following the novel, "A Constant Love." I did think the characters blended well and the reader felt like they were witnessing what was really happening in the novel.
I thought the part of the story where little Lizzy was crying and then calling for "pa" and everyone thought she was calling for Charles was a great addition to the plot.
In also enjoyed learning about how they made a piano that came apart especially for Georgiana to take with her on the ship so she could play it.
Looking forward to another great novel with the depth this one had from our author. An exceptional read.

A Reverent and Heart-Rending Continuation
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Source: Review Copy from Author
(Note: Potential readers should be made aware that this is the second volume in the Constant Love series. While it does stand alone, I think it would be a more enjoyable experience to read volume one, A Constant Love, first.)
What first arrested my attention about Sophie Turner’s newest installment of her Constant Love series was that the story focused on two major storylines – one following Darcy and Elizabeth and one that followed the newly married Georgiana and her husband, Matthew Stanton. I love dual storylines! Georgiana’s story takes us to Paris as she and her new husband adjust to being married and find their footing as a couple learning to compromise and communicate. Unlike the newlyweds, Elizabeth and Darcy remain at Pemberley for the majority of this tale as Elizabeth is expecting and the Bingleys are living with them temporarily while they wait for their new home to be built. The obstacles the Darcys face have to do with Elizabeth and the dangers of childbirth.
Besides the dual storylines and lovely character development for the Darcys, the Stantons, Mary Bennet, and Colonel Fitzwilliam, I think my favorite aspect of this story was the dream sequences. I don’t think it would be a spoiler for me to say that these dreams are sequential scenes that explore a variation of Pride and Prejudice. Yes, that’s right. There is a variation within a dream in this sequel. I loved the ‘what if’ question the dream sequence asked as it is one you don’t often see in Pride and Prejudice variations. The dreams are beautifully poignant and encompass sinister schemes, dangerous villains, harsh realities, and tender romances tinged with sorrow. I love how the dreams powerfully and emotionally effected me and the characters of the story. I also thought it was very clever how Ms. Turner tied the reason for the dreams to the present-day events. Very well done!
One of Ms. Turner’s strong points as a writer is her ability to paint vivid backdrops of the Regency period and infuse her story with actual historical events, people, and themes relevant to the era. While this story doesn’t consist of as many big battles and landmark events as A Constant Love did, this story centered more on the practices and realities of daily life such as childbirth, marriages, fox-hunting, entertaining neighbors, and planning for the next generation. The events of this story have such a strong feeling of authenticity to them and that feeling is compounded after reading the Author’s Notes at the end where Ms. Turner canvasses in detail her inspiration, her resources, and her decisions regarding this work of fiction. These notes and the amount of research and meticulous attention Ms. Turner puts into her stories is impressive and very much appreciated!
Like with A Constant Love, there were a couple of points in this story (mostly in the beginning) where I felt the pacing was a little slow. But other than that my only other quibbles would be that I thought it a little unlikely and inappropriate for Colonel Fitzwilliam to discuss mistresses with Georgiana and the very heavy focus on heirs. It sometimes didn’t sit right with me that there was so much immediate concern and discussion about heirs and inheritances (even before a couple was married or expecting!). But this may in fact have been the reality of life for this time period and maybe was something that truly never was far away from parents’ minds.
This sequel is truly all-encompassing! I greatly admire Ms. Turner’s style and applaud how she seamlessly can weave together a tale that includes so many characters, historical details, and underlying themes. The end result is a stimulating, compelling, and moving continuation that I will definitely read again and again! I cannot wait for more!

This series was great, I really enjoyed it. I loved that we got to see a bit of most of the Bennett sisters. I had read reviews that stated the dream sequences were off putting to them. I enjoyed Georgiana's dreams, maybe enjoyed isn't the right word. I understood the reason for them. I loved/hated how they ended. It was great to see the difference between the dream world and reality, yes there were parts that you could have done a reaction to the dream and not shown the whole dream, but at the end of the it you really needed to see the depravity of the dream.
Elizabeth's dream was not as understanding to be in it. I enjoyed her dream sequence and how her dream was a continuation of Georgiana's dream, but fixed some of the issues, even though it created others. I loved all the cutting from lives that happens in this book and love even more how fickle Aunt Catherine was about who she cut and uncut from her life.
This book was very enjoyable.
I read this book through audible and I do have to complain because there were a couple parts where the narrator reread the same part twice, it was very distracting.

The second volum to the book "a constant love" is a lovely, low angst read. Continue to follow ODC and Georgiana with a HEA for the colonel, Cathrine and Mary. Would recommend that you read "a constant love " first since this is a continuation.
The story shifts between ODC and Georgiana until their stories reunite.
Contains a lengthy, nightmarish dream section of what could have happened if events had unfolded differently.
ODC'S first child was born and I loved how the author executed it. Firstly because she described it, as it is always one of my favourite parts, secondly that she didn't make it into a screaming session...
Wickham and Lady C makes short but unpleasant appearances, we are also introduced to a new unpleasant acquaintance by the reverent, Mr Staunton.
This is not a story with one major, significant event but a collection of both joyful and sad events. Love how the author is able to write an interesting and engaging book where a lot of the actions are of a happy nature. So very few authors do that in the JAFF genre which make me assume it must be particularly difficult and all the more happy when I come across one...
Heartily recommend!

This as very confusing. I didn't know what was a dream and what was the story. Two parts even confused me more.

3.75 Stars because the dream sequences annoyed me and seemed to be filler

This book was a continuation of A Constant Love and followed the same characters through the next several months of their lives. Elizabeth and Darcy saw the birth of there heir. giorgiana hand Matthew had yet more trials with injuries and being together. Catherine and Andrew saw their marriage finally. Edward although no longer whole had a very good storyline. the thing I like the least was while Georgiana and Elizabeth slept they had very detailed dreams that seemed quite unnecessary to the plot of the story. I did like that not everything came completely easily to our main characters. the emotions evoked by this author where once again very intense. I found whenever I stopped reading for a while that I would have strong emotions more appropriate for the characters in the story than myself going about my day. overall I very much enjoyed this book and will definitely read the next one in the series when it comes out.
August 7, 2019
I was not happy with this one as the first. I found it excruciatingly long with dreams that two of the characters had after a trauma that did not need to be in there and did not serve a purpose other than talking of a variation of what could have happened...., those are books themselves a whole area of P&P variation stories. There did not need to be a mini variation story within this story. I feel the author's stories are drawn out in this book for each character. The book could have been shorter or more things could have taken place.
Bottom line: extremely slow and extremely long.

A suspenseful and Engaging Read
This is the second book in the series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Sophie Turner is quickly becoming one of my favorites. While both Georgiana and Elizabeth respectively wait, a parallel world is happening with very different occurrences. This book is extremely suspenseful. Mary plays a bigger role in this book and we see her character change and grow in a very satisfying way. I highly recommend this book and will read the third book in the series next.

It’s not that I’m non enjoying reading this, but I just have to say - the HEAVY reliance on dream sequence to move the plot along is a very unaustenesque literary device.
It’s been fun to explore some possibilities of the events that follow P&P but if you are looking for something in the style of Austen’s writing, with her characteristic sarcasm, wit, and social commentary, this series really isn’t it.

Boring
I’ve been reading this series in reverse order and the best I can say about this book is that it is slow and uneventful. Marguerite standing up to Lady Catherine may be the only highlight of the 400+ pages. I simply do not like variations in which Jane marries Bingley. Her personality is so blah (if she never spoke, she might be more interesting) and he is so spineless and devoid of a personality that together they are sickeningly boring.

I was feeling Austen-y (probably due to reading English history at the moment), and I liked the first one of the series fairly well, so I figured I'd go with the second, but it just didn't work for me. I wasn't into the alternate universe dreams, and the book was kind of lacking in anything resembling a plot.
Not really a bad book, just not for me.

2.5 stars. The alternate reality dream sequences were overly contrived. The plotlines were rather too wrapped up neatly in a bow, but hey this is JAFF at the end of the day-- the OTP was given their due, and the secondary characters and OCs each had their spotlight.

One word - Boring!!!
I thought the first one was bad but this one I really wish I never even read!! What was with “the dreams”? It may have put more pages in but it was stupid and dull.

The story of the Darcy and Bennet family continues. How will Georgina and the Bennet daughter cope and responseto their different situations.
A very enjoyable well-written story. I suppose my only complaint and it is a very small one is that I might have wished a slightly different story for Mary

Still much better written than most P&P variations I've read but weaker than the first book for me because I don't generally like "plot-within-plot" structures and there were too many happy coincidences for my taste.

Excellent
Definitely a continuation of the previous book in this series and easier to read if the first one has been completed. All our favorite characters and several more and all having plenty of adventures and romance. Thoroughly enjoyable.

So much love!!!
At first I did not like this story until I started to understand wheat was going on. Then I could not stop reading it. This story is intriguing and different from all others. A good read.
