My Review:
🌟🌟🌟🌟
Four Point Four Stars
Elizabeth Bennet loses her parents and is brought up by the Bartons, but unlike Cassie, Elizabeth is penniless. While Cassie likes to show off her wealth, Elizabeth still finds the joy in her life especially from her horse - Lily.
As they grow the difference between the two is of them is even more profound and Elizabeth’s only supporter becomes Noah. It was especially sweet to read the conversations between Elizabeth and Noah at this time.
Then Darcy comes to the area in search of a killer and leaving behind a depressed sister, he finds Lily and is determined to possess the horse.
The story goes on as Elizabeth loses something precious and Darcy is the reason for it. Their romance after that was really sweet and brought out well.
The small mystery coupled with the Pride-and-Prejudice variations with beautiful and rich descriptions of the period and the usual Elizabeth and Darcy romance. Lovely read.
