I just finished this book and, for the most part, I enjoyed it.PROS - Plot was very different with many twists and turns that at a couple of points seemed to be variations on recent variations I have read. That meant that there were many surprises along the way as well. I also enjoyed seeing quotes from Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice' in unexpected places and out of the mouths of the most unlikely people. Refreshingly different.
CONS - As an author, I've found that editing seems to be the most difficult part of writing to care for. Unfortunately, editing was a problem in a number of cases in this book: echoes, missing words, extra words, anachronisms (i.e. debrief and update are from 1940's and deja vu 1903), and misspellings. Having a dictionary and access to dates of word origins at one's elbow are musts especially with historical novels. However loath an author may be to do it, reading the manuscript out loud and getting a professional editor ensures that most errors are caught. This was a good read and could have been a great read with better editing.
I think this author has a very good imagination, and I look forward to her future writings especially about Darcy and Elizabeth.

The Corrupt Plan A Pride and Prejudice Variation edition by Linda Blanchette Richard Tremblay Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This was a different path for Darcy and Elizabeth reaching their HEA. So very many conniving against Darcy that he had no friends. The Colonel, Georgiana and Bingley? Some we always expect but this was way over the top. But through it all, Elizabeth was his rock and he knew almost instantly upon meeting her what she could be to him. I like how there was the instant attraction and hardly any angst between them.
I love the author's style of taking lines from the original P & P and assigning them to a totally different character. Very enjoyable.
A very interesting variation of the original Pride and Prejudice. After reading dozens and dozens of P and P variations, you get so that you can figure out what's coming in the storyline. In this book, so many of the roles were reversed that the reader is not able to anticipate the coming scene. Georgiana is no longer the sweet demur girl, Bingley is conniving, Hurst has found his voice, however Caroline is still Caroline, and Wickham continues to be a cheat, lier and more. This was a good read.
This is an easy read that had the book not used the familiar names could have just passed for your ordinary dramatic romance. It is the timeless characters you are familiar with and their history which you've read about time and again that engage you. This story however takes those particular one liners we've heard before and mixed them within at odd times. They are not used by the same characters but when you hear them you are instantly transported to the original occurrence.
Pride and Prejudice was not present in this retelling, in fact, the story begins with the scene by the lake. You know the one if you are a Colin Firth fan the spirit and light hearted banter paints a playful Darcy more so than the original. Lizzy is still outspoken and defends the master of Pemberely on more than one occasion. The two have a united front against a whole slue of familiar sorts who wish to do them harm for self gain. I think the hardest for me to take was Georgiana and Bingley. They were both such gentle souls but in this story Georgiana is spoiled and selfish. There is not that bond and trust between brother and sister that I love to see.
Bingley is desperate to better his current financial situation and does not care what has to be done to attain that. His personality took on his sisters. Hurst was actually the descent one instead of soused on a couch somewhere. I am happy to report though that Georgiana and Bingley grew up and became closer to their original forms. There is a lot of drama and schemes a foot but what I appreciated was the author keeping D&E locked on the same mind set together instead of confused and silent of how the other felt. There are no sex scenes but the two are mentioned more then once of their romantic escapades. This is not one of my favorite P&P retellings but it was entertaining and enjoyable for me. Enjoy!
I loved it!
Unique and captivating plot with a lot of fun and intriguing twists and turns. Especially liked the creative reuse of Austen's words in new contexts.
Highly entertaining book with a lot of twists to the original characters as well, thoroughly enjoyed some of their new traits.
There was a lot of interaction between ODC and they fall for each other early and are married, half-way through.
ODC met at Pemberley, the summer before we enter canon. Intrigued by each other, they reunite in Hertfordshire with the timeline of canon but everything that happens are original in this off canon story. Their feelings are mutual but family and friends will unite in scheming to keep them apart. Some of the villains might come as a surprise as well...
Really enjoyed the changes to Jane and Mr Collins which both had gotten some additional strengths.
Several dramatic events follow as a result of the scheme for Darcy to marry Caroline. Not to forget, the Wicham/Georgiana debacle who had a lot of additional drama.
Ends in a funny epilogue with the Darcy's children and extended family, coming together in a celebration.
Heartily recommend this book !
