Mistletoe & Misunderstandings

A Sweet "Pride & Prejudice" Variation

On the night of the Netherfield ball, Mr. Darcy seems like he will propose until a misunderstanding has him leaving the area and taking the Bingleys with him. That leaves Lizzy and Jane heartbroken, but since Lizzy’s burgeoning romance was a secret, she can’t show her pain.

When news reaches them that the Bingleys are returning to Netherfield for Christmastide, Lizzy wonders if Darcy will return as well. If he does, can she forgive his abandonment, or is all hope of happiness with the man truly lost?

The timeline of their romance is compressed slightly in this short holiday story. While Abbey sometimes writes sensual JAFF, this is strictly sweet.

Good but not great

I have read quite a few stories from this author and this was not as good as her other books. A bit too short and abrupt.
