Elizabeth's London Love

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

By: Grace Belton

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A forbidden flower. An unexpected rescue. A second chance at love.


Elizabeth Bennet's innocent trespass at Kew Gardens throws her into the path of the one man she thought she'd never see again—Mr. Darcy. As spring blooms around them and London society watches with jealous eyes, Elizabeth must decide whether she will trust her first impressions or allow herself to see Mr. Darcy in an entirely new light.

A sweet and charming Pride and Prejudice variation where a chance encounter in a botanical garden leads to walks in Hyde Park, intimate conversations, and a love story that blooms against all expectations.

Kernel of a good story but in desperate need of editing.

There is the potential of an engaging and lighthearted story, but I couldn’t get past the first few chapters because it was obvious the author had thought about the story from two different directions and the timeline inconsistencies drove me crazy. It’s written as if it occurs just a month or so after Rosings but there are continuing references to touring Pemberley and to the Gardiners having met Mr. Darcy and Georgianna the previous summer. It was so distracting I had to turn it off.
