Mr. Darcy's Enchantment by Abigail Reynolds

Georgiana is sure that she will be in attendance at the wedding, otherwise why else would her brother not attend? A shy Georgiana with Miss Bingley's unwitting assistance is determined to be introduced to as many guests as possible!įinally the dam broke on Mrs. Georgiana is determined to find out who has broken her brothers heart and the only information she has is that her name is Elizabeth. I am so glad she did because the scenes between Darcy and Elizabeth at the table were lovely!!! After not meeting at Pemberley Georgiana boldly asks Darcy if she can go to Bingley's wedding as Darcy will not be attending. In the first story Intermezzo, Abigail admits she had to allow for a historical discrepancy and have a wedding breakfast that was a sit down meal, rather than the usual stand-up affair. I absolutely adore this book!! I will admit at first I thought 'short stories? Oh I am not sure, I want a book I can get my teeth into' however by the end of the first story I had soon cottoned on to the secret of short JAFF stories, Darcy and Elizabeth would be getting to their happily ever after, much sooner than I anticipated!! There's something to be said for instant gratification 'it is wonderfully satisfying!' These short stories need to be made into little pocket size books that you can slip into your handbag (or briefcase, I have not forgotten you gentlemen) ready to pull out at any given moment for instance when you need a little pick me up in times of stress or boredom (like at your desk at work, at the doctors, in an elevator or at the checkout in the supermarket) or quite simply, to bring a smile to your face.Ībigail gives you a little introduction before each story, to set the scene so to speak, like how the story came about or imparting any information that may be relevant.

Darcy seeks out Lizzy after her disappearance from the wedding breakfast and says, “Please, Miss Bennet.I am not worth your tears.” (and then the dam holding their pent up emotions breaks!) Bingley the truth about Jane Bennet, sequestered himself in London and avoided interacting with others? What if Elizabeth went to Pemberley and did not encounter Mr. I hope you will find this breakdown helpful!

In the span of thirty minutes readers witness: conflict, misunderstandings, obstacles, mounting tension, realization, understanding, declarations, and a beautiful romantic resolution! It's fast-paced and riveting! One aspect I loved about this collection of five short stories was how I felt completely fulfilled and satisfied after reading just one story. What does an author do when she has a handful of short stories that can't be fleshed out into full-length novels? Leave them to gather dust on her hard-drive? Heavens, no! She instead gathers these delightful stories together and publishes an anthology so all her diehard fans can devour them!
