Download or read book Darcy S Dire Dilemma written by John Hazard Forbes and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2018-06-21 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They never dreamt the danger of Jane Austen! Initially, the residents of Longbourn, Netherfield, and Pemberly had no reason to be wary. Miss Austen seemed merely a mild spinster who attended parties and asked benign questions about this cousin or that aunt. No one suspected her devious purpose: the creation of novels based upon persons of her acquaintance. It was much too late for poor George Wickham when Pride and Prejudice became all the rage. Of course, he was nothing like his odious fictional counterpart, which is what he hopes to clarify in this retelling of the events as they truly occurred. Miss Austen obviously warped reality, resulting in three hundred-odd pages of absolute rot. Whereas Wickham has never aspired to sainthood, he contends that the authoress greatly exaggerated his shortcomings. He now attempts to reconstruct the true love story so poorly delineated in that dreadful Pride and Prejudice. Four decades may have passed, but Wickham remembers all and now pays tribute to those so smeared by that awful Miss Austen.

'Couldn't stop reading until the last page. Definitely worth your while! Fits the original story and true to the original characters.' Amazon DE Review 'This is probably the best Variation of Pride and Prejudice we have ever read (and we have read a fair few) All the characters are so true to Miss Austen's vision. We loved them. There are lot of really good variations out there but by golly gosh we enjoyed this one!' Amazon UK Review 'If I wasn't already in-love with him, I would be reduced to a puddle of drool and worship after Vol II. I L-O-V-E this Darcy...sweet, decent, principled, handsome, rich, a great older brother, a loyal friend...and so in-love with Elizabeth, that he's willing to give her up so she can be happy with another. *sigh* and **double sigh** --he's absolutely PERFECT. Simply perfect. Based on Darcy alone, Vol II would have garnered the highest recommendation.But then there's Lizzy, who is realizing that there is, indeed, a thin line between hate and love; and for our normally self-assured, spunky heroine, it's refreshing to see that Darcy --although unbeknownst to him-- has the power to absolutely confuse and befuddle her. Adorable.Vol II has everything...the hold-your-breath, heart-stopping, fall-even-more-in-love, oh-no-they-didn't moments. Bring on Vol III!!! Amazon US Review 'Be prepared for a major cliff-hanger near the end of this book. You might want to have a copy of the third volume, Desperate Measures, on hand, because you won't want to stop reading! It's so good!' So Little Time blog 'As with Volume I , Cassandra Grafton delivers on every level - humor, romance, attention to period detail, faithfulness to the original characters, etc. The dialogue is smart and witty - especially when Col. Fitzwilliam is in the scene. His interactions with Darcy are a highlight of this book - providing levity to the reader, as well as truly heartwarming loyalty and friendship when Darcy needs it most. I am very eager to see how Ms. Grafton resolves it all in the final volume, Desperate Measures, though I hate to see it all end.' Amazon US Review
