Description

Sarah Johnson is a freelance writer and longtime lover of the written word. Her love of the classics began early, with Jane Austen becoming a clear favorite by her early teen years. When the world of fan fiction was introduced to her, she was happy to find so many wonderful stories based on the dearly loved characters. It was a few years before a new writers challenge, posted at one of the Jane Austen Fan Fiction forums, drew her to put pen to paper and begin creating the stories that have always unfolded in her mind. What began as a picture has become a muse that will not stop forming ideas for more stories. After fifteen years of military life, she and her husband, along with their six children, have now settled in Texas, where she continues to write of an era gone by and of characters that will forever live in the hearts of Jane Austen's admirers.

Features & Highlights

  • The Bennet family changed dramatically when Mr Bennet nearly lost his life. The rekindled love between him and his wife encouraged a unifying bond amongst their five daughters. Their story unfolds as each eligible young lady walks down the aisle, taking her husband’s hand and forever leaving the name of Bennet behind.Elizabeth Bennet was known for her great knowledge of the land surrounding her home of Longbourn, but when she finds herself on unfamiliar ground far from her usual haunts, it is a tall, dark haired stranger who points her in the right direction, leaving her mind in curious reflection of the gentleman and who he could be. Something about him is so very familiar, and yet mysterious. Will the instant connection Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy both feel for each other be able to weather the storms that come when a secret past connection is revealed?

I am sure this book is perfect for the truly romantic among us. However, for my taste the plot has virtually no tension among the characters (with the exception of Miss Bingley and Mrs. Bennett's sister Phillips). The characters are either too good to be true or too sinister to be free of a mental institution. Everyone seems to fall in love at first sight or think well of everyone or they are very gullible (Mary). The most unbelievable situation put forward by the author is the Viscount Primrose (Darcy's cousin) falls in love with Mary Bennett.Again almost love at first sight. Even Lydia is level-headed and Mrs. Bennett's nerves improve. This is volume I so there may be a volume for each Bennett sister until they are all married.
