Summary

There's only one fact that notorious rake Lord Charles Carlisle and his cousin, Fitzwilliam Darcy, can agree upon: a house party given by the Marquess of Bentham is bound to be intolerably dull. To relieve his boredom, Lord Charles accepts a bet that he can seduce his sister's pretty friend during their stay at Bentham Park. After all, it's easy money for an experienced seducer. Why should he care if his staid cousin Darcy disapproves?

But when Darcy discovers that Lord Charles' new target is none other than Elizabeth Bennet, the woman who refused Darcy's offer of marriage, he cannot stand by and watch as the woman he still loves is callously ruined. What he doesn't know is that Lord Charles has a dark secret, and that his attentions to Elizabeth may not be what they seem. After a midnight rescue, clandestine meetings, a long-lost son, conspiracies, blackmail, and an attempted elopement, everyone can agree that this house party is anything but dull.

An enjoyable variation...

...with none of the usual characters. It's interesting to read a variation without Caroline, Wickham and/or Lady C. as the villain(s), or the Bennet's and Mr Collins behaving badly. Even Jane and Bingley are absent! Instead we have a cast of new characters, without prior knowledge of how they fit into the framework of the story.

Original characters can be a double-edged sword, but they're generally well drawn and 3 dimensional, with only one verging on pantomime villain. However, they're kept sufficiently in the background for it not to matter much, as their actions are more talked about than depicted.

Of course, Darcy and Elizabeth are the heart of the story and the other events are usually shown through their perspective. The growing understanding between them is sweet and genuine. It's also clean, never exceeding some fairly steamy kissing and a bit of light petting before propriety reasserts itself.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
