A gentleman in love cannot survive without his best friend... Fitzwilliam Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam couldn't be more different, and that goes for the way each one woos and pursues the woman of his dreams. Darcy is quiet and reserved, careful and dutiful, and his qualms and hesitations are going to torpedo his courtship of Elizabeth.

I enjoyed the half with Darcy and then skipped through the Fitzwilliam half, reading only when Darcy or ...
Not one of my favourite Jane Austen spin-offs. The first half of the book is interesting, but the second half bombs with a contrived Mary-Sue plot. Blech! Only for the die-hard Austen fans. Otherwise, not one I'd recommend. For the longer review, please go here:http://www.epinions.com/review/Karen_V...
