Handsome Enough to Tempt Him: A Pride and Prejudice Variation

Forces seek to keep Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy apart, but hope springs eternal.

Saved from an unwanted marriage, Darcy finds himself in Hertfordshire with his sister and former fiancée. In repayment for a debt of honor, Mr. Darcy assists Bingley in finding a wife who truly loves him by testing his potential brides. Although helpful in some ways, it ends up causing substantial confusion, especially for Elizabeth, who is upset by his peculiar behavior.

Mr. Bennet suffered a terrible injury many years previous that greatly affects him, and his family must endure his poor temperament and sharp tongue. Mrs. Bennet adeptly handles her husband and shields her daughters as best she can.

Darcy quickly finds himself enamored with a lively and lovely woman by the name of Elizabeth Bennet, and she is equally drawn to the noble and intelligent master of Pemberley. Unlike any other woman he has met, Darcy realizes that Elizabeth is, in fact, handsome enough to tempt him.

This is a sweet and clean, low angst Pride and Prejudice variation where all of the Bennet sisters have happy endings.

Refreshing take on the Bennet Parents

It’s not often Mrs Bennet is seen as sensible and the relationship she shared with her daughters, particularly Elizabeth was heart warming. Great story.

Fantastic rewrite of a beloved classic

I really appreciated the variations of characters and storyline in this book. I actually like it more than the original pride and prejudice! I definitely recommend this to any woman who likes clean romance and happy endings! Really appreciated the Christian themes weaved throughout the book.

Great read

This was a great read. This book has an awful mr Bennet. A sensible Mrs Bennet. What a difference that can make it was well written and a good story throughout. Great Jaff

Sweet Mrs. Bennett P&P Variation

I loved how the author decided to make Mrs. Bennett sweet and nurturing in this Pride and Prejudice variation
My favorite narrator; Stevie Zimmerman made this a must for annual listening again and again!

Worth a Listen

If you’re looking for a new take on P&P, this is worth a listen. I am a fan of P&P JAFF, but only when it’s a new plot. This book fit the bill perfectly.

You’ll find a totally new plot, but will be happy that our favorite two couples are true to canon.

The narration is wonderful, as always.
