Three years after Mr. Darcy’s disastrous marriage proposal to Elizabeth Bennet, they meet again. Due to an unexpected twist of fate, Elizabeth finds herself a guest in the home of the Mr. Darcy’s aunt, the Dowager Lady Matlock. Long believing Elizabeth lost to him, Darcy has recently proposed marriage to an old flame, the widow of his friend. Now newly engaged Darcy encounters Elizabeth again and realizes she still owns his heart.
Although bound by honour to another, Darcy sets out to improve Elizabeth’s opinion of him. Tension mounts between Darcy and Elizabeth in that pursuit, and Darcy’s betrothed begins to see Elizabeth as a threat to her upcoming marriage. How will Darcy and Elizabeth ever reach their happily ever after?
How to Mend a Broken Heart is a non-canon variation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and is intended for mature readers.
There is so much to love about this book. When reading adaptions, it is always interesting to see how an author will take the story and throw in a spin of their own. What is even better is when this spin works out so well, you sigh and think, yup, this is good romance! That is exactly how I felt when I finished How To Mend a Broken Heart. Beginning three years after that disastrous marriage proposal we find Lizzy at yet another crossroads in her life and Darcy engaged to another!! OMG! Yes, This was very hard for me! I cannot fathom Darcy with any other than Elizabeth (unless it’s me) 🙂 So this little twist had me freaking out to the point of nausea that I could not put the book down until I was through! It was so worth the read! Well written and beautifully told, How To Mend a Broken Heart is such a unique story, a stand out original that left me in awe. It was so good! When it is meant to be, it is meant to be. ♥♥♥
