The Attentions of a Most Affectionate Mother: A Pride and Prejudice Sequel

Sweet Tea Stories, Book 3

De: Maria Grace

Narrado por: Melissa Durbin

Mary goes to the library looking for escape, not love.

With three daughters married in a single year, one would think that Mrs. Bennet’s matchmaking ploys would diminish. One would be wrong. Very wrong.

To avoid her mother’s affectionate arts, Mary takes refuge at Clarke’s library. There, in the reading room, she can forget the trials of Longbourn, lost in the pages of her favorite books.

The strategy works - surprisingly well in fact - until the morning a tall, handsome stranger wants the same book she has already checked out - a text she needs to help a friend. Instead of politely waiting until she is finished with it, as a proper gentleman would, he insists she give it up to him immediately. When she rejects his demands - the audacity of it all! - he refuses to take no for answer, and appears on Longbourn’s doorstep.

Now Mama has seen him, matchmaking is not far behind.

Mary is determined to escape Mama’s machinations at all costs. But, maybe, just maybe, this time Mama is right.

Interesting about Mary.

I have never read a JAFF with another main character than Elizabeth or Darcy. But in this we meet Mary as main character. It was really nice.

Delightful!

This is a wonderful Mary centric story. I have always felt like poor Mary is the least appreciated Bennet sister, and I love when she gets the appreciation and love she deserves.

Well done!

Love this story about Mary Bennett’s romance. Mary is a caring individual and a strong woman who trusts in Providence to order her life. Author keeps to characterization in P&P and pays close attention to historical details.
