Can a marriage of convenience ever lead to true love? Immediately after Elizabeth Bennet refuses Mr. Darcy's proposal at Hunsford, her father dies, leaving Longbourn entailed away and little fortune to sustain his widow and daughters. Six months later, the Bennet family receives a visitor with a most unusual offer that promises to save the family from financial and social ruin. Elizabeth's sense of duty forces her to enter into an arranged marriage with a man she does not even like. Told from Elizabeth's point of view, An Arranged Marriage is a compelling twist on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Can Elizabeth overcome her feelings of anger, resentment, and suspicion toward her new husband and - the most bewildering sensation of all - a growing attraction for the last man in the world she ever wished to marry?

Again, too many pages prolonging the novel. More aggravating, I could not recognize this Elizabeth. Nor could I like her. No win.
I couldn't get passed the horrible Lizzy Bennett in chapter one. She was to ooc and I can not see any reason for Darcy to have married her because he certainly can't like her anymore. I wanted to leave one of my favorite female characters to die in the poorhouse. I really didn't like it. Heh
