5) It's a Wonderful Latte by Jessica Grey: end at 79%
This was a mash-up of It's a Wonderful Life meets Mansfield Park. Instead of the angel Clarence [sent to help George Bailey], we have Jane Austen being sent on assignment to help our heroine with a life issue of her own.

6) Pride & Presents by Kinberly Truesdale: ends at 98%
This was the P&P variation with a few ethnic changes that made for a delightful story. The basic threads were there, with characters keeping with their canon behaviors and intents. Collins and Wickham were evil and Darcy had to come to the rescue.

4) With Love, From Emma: by Cecilia Gray: ends at 63%
This modern Emma was delightful. We have Emma making a West & Taylor match and she turns her sights on Elton and Harriet. However, their interests are somewhere else and she misses it completely. I love the Mr. Knightley character. The changes from canon does not hurt the story.

3) A Tale of Three Christmases by Rebecca M. Fleming
A modern take on Sense & Sensibility. The usual cast of characters on fast forward as pace and scenes fly by. It is from the POV of the youngest Dashwood sister and, as the title states, over three Christmases.

I really like the character of Catherine Morland and Henry Tilney. The villains are consistent with canon, Isabella and John Thorpe, and General Tilney... who went to a conference of retired Naval personnel. Navy doesn't have a rank of general. Their equivalent would be admiral.

1) The work of an instant: Jennifer Becton
Modern JAFF reference to Persuasion. All the character names that we know and love are present. We have Wentworth returning after eight years to see Anne again and renew their love. It is a cute, clean, Christmas miracle type of story with a Santa that just might possess magical powers?
