Overall very enjoyable and well written. I especially liked the first half of the book where the story is set up. I felt, however, that Elizabeth and Darcy's falling in love was very rushed and could have done with another 100 pages of fleshing out.

Wickham has a small role in this. like an off-screen mention in a letter. Lady Catherine got violent with Elizabeth. 
No happy ending for Caroline. 
Mary Marries Collins. I think this is the first time I read a story with this outcome.

Read to just over half way,then it became a Mary and Collins pairings - which for me is totally unacceptable and so I lost interest.

Still enjoy this one!

I needed something quick and easy, and this was just the thing. It was cute the second time around, too.

Fun story! I really enjoyed the method used to compromise Elizabeth and was amused that it included Jane, too, since that's not typical. I liked seeing Elizabeth and Darcy get to know one another, and their courtship was pleasant and believable. My only real complaint is that the story was far too short, because there was potential to do a lot more with this setup.
