Of Uncertainty and Understanding: A Pride and Prejuice Variation
In this sweet, clean, low-angst novella of 30,000 words, Darcy and Elizabeth do not react with anger following the Hunsford proposal. As they deal with their own and each other’s expectations, a group of conspirators work to aid them to their happily ever after.
Excerpt:
“Mr. Darcy, you are a handsome and wealthy gentleman with much to offer your future wife. But, sir, that was not a proper way to offer your hand. You mentioned your struggle to resist my ‘enticing presence.’ You expressed your need to marry well and to a lady of fortune and nobility, but you didn’t speak of why you would actually want to be married to me. In fact, you simply explained that you were failing to fulfill your duty by choosing someone so far below you. This will not do.” Her light laugh was so gentle that it didn’t offend him.

Too calm
All the story was everyone talking calmly with others, Lizzie telling Darcy all his faults and he working on correcting them. No angst, no passion, no real unexpected twists.

Cute story, but not very memorable. I’ve also read multiple similar stories.

Cute story
I greatly enjoyed both the story plot and execution. I have found that this author gets better with each book. There are still a number of punctuation and other errors. (Pronoun errors are common with is author). Further editing is needed.
I do recommend this book.

Light and Sweet
I liked Darcy and Elizabeth's characters. No angst or silliness from Mrs. Bennett or Lydia. No Collins. Wickham mentioned. Caroline made a cameo appearance.

In this story, Elizabeth asks Darcy about Bingley before he can propose and he shows her the letter he wrote to Bingley afterwards. This way she gets an inkling about his feelings for her but he still mentions the disparity of their situations when he proposes so it's equally unsuccessful even if less rancorous than the canonical proposal scene. He goes on court her quietly in London and in Hertfordshire, vowing to show her that he can overcome his distaste of her relations.
This had several cute moments as well as a few minor editing misses.
Steam level: Several references to time spent in the bedroom but this reader is unaware of further details and it's possible they used the time to hone their chess skills.
Judging a book by the cover, I would not be impressed by the typo. Pride and Prejuice? really?
