Mr. Darcy's Passion at Pemberley: A Steamy Pride and Prejudice Variation (Seasons of A Steamy Pride and Prejudice Variation)

Loved this adaptation of Elizabeth and Darcy's story, it is well written and a different telling of a much loved story.

When Elizabeth and her aunt and uncle meet Mr and Miss Darcy at a village festival, they never expected to find themselves caught up in intrigue involving Mr Wickham. A beautifully written Pride and Prejudice variation that will captivate and engage you from the beginning.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This novella is almost an alternative reality Pride and prejudice, with the action occurring predominantly in Derbyshire. Fitzwilliam Darcy lives at Pemberley with his sister, Georgiana and his late father's godson, George Wickham.Despite his reservations regarding some of Wickham's behaviour, Darcy fulfills his father's dying wish by providing a home and financial support for Wickham.Elizabeth Bennet is touring the Peak District with her aunt and uncle.At a village festival she meets Fitzwilliam Darcy. Although he exhibits some of his "Master of Pemberley" persona, he and Elizabeth share an instant and volcanic attraction to each other.The plot is not unpleasing, though as expected. The descriptions of their early amorous encounters become rather repetitive. Too many scorching looks, searing kisses and being crushed against his musky scented body.This is most definitely steamy, pride and prejudice. The explicit sections hold nothing back.I have rated other books by Maria Dashwood as 4 out of 5, but I'm afraid this is a 3.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
