With This Ring: A Pride and Prejudice Variation

When the youngest Bennet daughter drags the family to the brink of ruin, Mr. Bennet finally takes decisive action to safeguard their future. Meanwhile, Mrs. Bennet is equally determined to preserve the estate—especially from falling into the hands of a distant cousin far too disagreeable to tempt any of her daughters.

This heartfelt Pride and Prejudice variation centers on the enduring love between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, whose relationship unfolds with passion, wit, and emotional depth. Though Elizabeth and Darcy are the heart of the story, readers will also glimpse the evolving lives and fortunes of all five Bennet sisters as they navigate a world of uncertainty, duty, and romance.

This version is a little spicy; readers who prefer not to delve into the intimacies of marriage may not enjoy this re-telling. The beloved couple grows more physically intimate during their brief betrothal and after marriage, though they honor the marriage vow and wait until after their wedding to consummate the relationship. The innuendo remains tasteful and modest throughout.

For fans of Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice variations

Refreshing approach to a classic story

This was my first time reading a Jane Austen variation and I was very impressed. I loved the way Michael’s reimagined both Mr. And Mrs. Bennet giving them new depth and earning them greater admiration from the reader. I look forward to more from this author.

Seeing the Relationship progress over time

This variation explores how much better things might have turned out if Mr. Bennet had simply exerted himself on behalf of his daughters. It was deeply satisfying to see him reflect on what was best for his family and then follow through. I also loved watching Elizabeth and Darcy’s love story unfold over time. When I first read Pride and Prejudice as a teen, I always wished Jane Austen had written about the marriage itself. This retelling delivers on that wish.

false advertising

this book was promoted as clean and sweet. it was not. I was really shocked by some of the things in it and I hope that reviewers will be more careful about their endorsements and descriptions

Ruined main characters needlessly

I don’t usually write reviews but I couldn’t help but say something. I get changing up the story and making it your own, but this was just silly. The Author took irritating characters and made them actually terrible people, made fun characters and made them rude and completely threw one very important character by the wayside.
The only reason I gave a rating as high as I did was because Kitty and Mary got better representation.
