A Lasting Love Affair: Darcy and Elizabeth: A Pride and Prejudice Variation (A Darcy and Elizabeth Love Affair Book 1) Kindle Edition

by P. O. Dixon (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.9 out of 5 stars (325)

"When a man meets the woman with whom he is destined to share his life, he knows."


● Ranked #1 Best Seller in Amazon's Historical Regency Fiction ●

Praise for A Lasting Love Affair

"A Lasting Love Affair is a light and quick escapist read that kept me company at a time when I needed a little Darcy pick-me-up, and I'm looking forward to reading more by this author." - Diary of an Eccentric

"The writing in the story was very good. While the story was very fast moving, it flowed well and the language was very appropriate to the time, very much in the style of Jane Austen. This was a fun, quick, easy read, not without its angst, but also with touches of humour and romance." - Laughing with Lizzie

"Such as any book of Ms P O Dixon, this is such a lovely mix of the original and its variation." - NetGalley



Mr. Darcy was not looking to fall in love. He thought he had it all: wealth, privilege, and ardent passion for his sport. Then he meets Miss Elizabeth Bennet, and soon thereafter he knows that she is the woman with whom he is destined to spend his life.

Having suffered a traumatic loss, Elizabeth knows the pain of heartache. She is determined to shield herself against forming strong attachments so she might never feel that way again. Then Mr. Darcy comes along, and he has a way of melting all her defenses.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Lasting Love Affair: Darcy and Elizabeth
    Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2014
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    It is love at first site for Darcy in this novel. He shows jealousy and Elizabeth suspects something else. Lizzy witnesses a serious accident and relives memories of something tragic in her life and Darcy suspects that as well. Darcy as well as Lord Holland vie for Elizabeth's attentions.
    In this novel, Darcy is interested in racing horses, as in other novels he has a great love and knowledge of horses.
    Aunt Catherine in up to no good as well as Caroline Bingley causing trouble. Also no novel is without Lydia's elopement with Wickham and naturally Darcy to the rescue again.
    This novel takes place in Bosley where Mr. Bennet's wealthy sister lives and is a widow and Lizzy goes there to help bridge the gap of the family separation by trying to reunite her father with his sister.
    All in all, it is a well written story with a few twists and turns and love does happen between Darcy and Elizabeth and that is the way it should be!!!
    A well written novel that was interesting however it could have been a full length story involving more of the sisters and even perhaps marriage of the sisters. Who knows, even a few babies born.

    The story twist was easy to figure out from other reviews. I felt Elizabeth was correct in her emotions and stance with Darcy. He was not so slow to change but he did not need so many changes.
    Yes I wanted more details. However the Darcy and Elizabeth time was enjoyable. I am glad there were no extra villains. I feel Darcy and Elizabeth are stubborn enough to have enough heartache.
    I do recommend this sweet and clean variation to all.

    3.0 out of 5 stars A teasing story: needed more
    Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2014
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I read this twice. This novella had starts and stops, in my opinion. I, like other reviewers, wished for more development in places. Much of the prose was very enjoyable; it did keep my attention. In this story, at least, Darcy falls in love and never wavers about what he wants. But some events seemed confusing. The whole scene when Darcy is to leave to go to Kent...with Darcy and Lizzie and then with Lord Andrew didn't seem clear. Why would they, each, not know that there was more to the story and ask questions/explain himself: Why was he going to Kent? Who does he know there? What's this about a previous engagement? Lizzie was impulsive in just seeing this as a loss and giving up, Lord Andrew was two-faced and what kind of friend is he? And Darcy did not explain himself very well. I am sure that is probably what the author wanted but it seemed incongruous. Maybe there was not enough thought processes laid out for us, the readers. Jane dying off was such a shock at the beginning and I didn't hear of anyone's reactions to that other than Elizabeth's. After all, Mrs. Bennett stated that no one dies of a trifling cold in the original. I would have appreciated some comments about Bingley's reactions. In P&P, when Jane was to visit his sisters and have dinner he seemed already smitten and yet I don't hear anything further from him. I wanted to read about Lord Andrew, Lucy and Bingley going on in life and finding love or, at least, the former two marrying each other. And Elizabeth inherits from her aunt as well as marries this guy with all the money: how did she put some of that money to good use? I would have given this 3 and a 1/2 stars if allowed.

    A favourite quote from this wonderful book is '..and now I must forever imagine myself comparing every man I meet to Mr Darcy and finding the otherwise worthy gentleman wanting' brilliant!!

    In the tradition of Jane Austin, this is a delightful extension of the story. I love the way it is written and remains true to the style of Jane Austin while adding information about the main characters. If you are an Austin fan, this is a book for you. The story of Elizabeth and Darcy could go on forever and ever and this is just a way to make it last a bit longer. It is well written, well developed, and charming. I had a difficult time putting the story down to do other things. It transported me to the story and I was there.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Ganz nette Geschichte, in der Darcy den Willoughy in sich entdeckt
    Reviewed in Germany on January 6, 2017
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Es war eine kurzweilige Geschichte mit circa 140 Seiten Länge. Im Gegensatz zu manchen anderen Geschichten habe ich hier wenige Fehler entdeckt, was schon mal ein Pluspunkt ist.

    Zum Inhalt:
    Elizabeth zieht bei ihrer reichen Tante ein, deren Erbin sie werden soll, wenn diese mit ihr zufrieden ist. Außerdem wünscht sich ihre Tante, dass Elizabeth einen geliebten Neffen der Tante heiraten möge. Das wird nicht direkt angesprochen, aber zumindest so angedeutet, dass man es als Leser sehr wohl versteht. Elizabeth kriegt das anscheinend gar nicht mit. Ihre neuen Erlebnisse hält Elizabeth in der Form von Briefen an Jane fest. Durch vorangegangene Ereignisse, wurde Lizzie traumatisiert und sie hat sich geschworen, ihr Herz nie zu verschenken, um nie mehr so eine Trauer zu erfinden wie vor 2 Jahren. So viel zum Anfang der Geschichte. Bald trifft sie auf Mr. Darcy, der am Anfang unsympathisch über ein paar Seiten eingeführt wird, sich aber dann bald wie Mr. Willoughby aus Sense and Sensibility aufführt. Von dem her hat die Geschichte leider nicht mehr viel mit Stolz und Vorurteil gemein. Das meiste Drama spielt sich eigentlich in Lizzies Kopf ab, da sie Darcy immer das Schlimmste unterstellt. Wirkliche Probleme gibt es in der Beziehung eigentlich nicht, denn Darcy scheint sich immer sicher zu sein, dass er Lizzie heiraten will. Als Darcy erfährt, dass der Rest von Lizzies Verwandten nicht so nobel wie ihre reiche Tante ist, glaubt man, Jett kommt Drama auf und er muss sich erst überwinden, es wird auch ein wenig in die Richtung angedeutet, dann aber nie wirklich thematisiert. Lizzie glaubt zwar, er zieht sich zurück, er tut es aber eigentlich nicht? Da hätte man es etwas besser ausbauen können.

    Inhaltlich also nicht so aufregend, aber wenn man etwas entspannendes lesen will, das einen nicht aufregt, ist es ganz nett. Ich habe schon schlechtere Geschichten gelesen. Mit Stolz und Vorurteil hat die Geschichte allerdings bis auf die Charaktere nichts mehr zu tun.

    A Lasting Love Affair by P. O. Dixon

    The premise of this story was... brave! The idea of having her most beloved sister die (sorry if you consider that a spoiler, but you find it out pretty quickly when you start reading anyway!) was a very interesting path to go down as well as being very shocking and surprising, and original for I haven’t read one before where Jane dies. The way in which she dies is actually very clever, however I will not give that away!  

    Darcy and Lizzy were as cute as ever in this tale. Unlike what we are used to, they become good friends very quickly, and they are really sweet.  Lizzy finds in him someone to confide as Darcy is much more agreeable. It was a nice change to have her already considering Darcy a friend rather than being so prejudiced against him. As the friendship grows to something more, there are some very sweet and romantic moments.
     
    Lizzy is quite altered in this variation, understandably, due to her loss. To help her deal with her heartache she writes letters to her deceased sister, which is a very sensible idea and one I can relate to, for writing down your feelings often makes pain easier. As well as writing to her sister, Darcy comes along and seems to be able to help her through her sadness and break the wall she has built around her heart, trying to protect herself from further heartache. But do not fear, for although Lizzy is suffering the pain of loss, it hasn't quite dampened all her spirit and there are still some wonderfully witty comments and conversations!
     
    An interesting side we get to see to Darcy in this variation was jealousy! The addition of the dashing Lord Holland made for some competition, which was fun to read. Even though he was jealous, it was nice to see Darcy so sure of his affection and willing to go against his family straight away. 

    A few fun additional characters were, as already mentioned, Lord Hollond and also the lovely Miss Lancaster, who become a good friend to Lizzy. The conversations between the four of them were fun, even if Holland isn't at all pleased with the attentions Darcy is showing Lizzy! 
     
    Another character was Lizzy's estranged Aunt, Lady Vanessa. She reminded me a little of Lady Catherine, but luckily she is much nicer than Lady Catherine! As we know, it was Aunt Gardiner who was the means of uniting Darcy and Lizzy, but it was fun to have a different aunt responsible for the being the means of uniting Darcy and Lizzy. 
     
    The writing in the story was very good. While the story was very fast moving, it flowed well and the language was very appropriate to the time, very much in the style of Jane Austen.  This was a fun, quick, easy read, not without its angst, but also with touches of humour and romance.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 12, 2018

    I liked this story. I can't remember any significant fault except some american phraseology, always jarring the flow. The other matter that I remember is the obtuseness of the main characters at significant points in the development of the storyline this however being true of many of the attempts to extend the J.A. original.
    On reading again, I was reminded of a number of bad grammatical errors, don't they employ proof readers any more, or are they incompetent ? it may be that they have been corrected in a later edition. Mine has a cover that differs from the current one.
