This is my first read by Ms. Helm.
I appreciated her take on the well known story of Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy. She added in some ideas as to how they might've grown closer and developed their relationship.
It's always fun to read another author's take on Jane Austen's creation.
There was some slight rearranging of scenes and timelines, but I allowed for the creative liberties as they let the story unfold the way the author intended.
If you like reading Jane Austen retellings or spinoffs, then this one is worth the read.
Do you like Jane Austen retellings or spinoffs? Let me know in the comments.
Mr. Darcy is tempted beyond what he can endure when Elizabeth Bennet leaves her private journal entries in the parlour of Netherfield. Upon reading her writing, he is appalled to find that she overheard his unflattering remarks at the Meryton Assembly and despises him for his thoughtless comments. He wishes with all his heart that he could undo the damage.
During a restless sleep, he dreams of two powerful beings who can give him his heart's desire - Elizabeth's admiration, respect, and love.
Will he take the offer to change the past so that he never makes the offensive statement? Will he make a deal with the Devil, or is the price too dear?
What would you do to get exactly what you want? How much would you be willing to pay?
