I have read over 450 P and P variations and all of Ms. Hoffmeister's titles. I must confess that I rarely read variations based on the other characters in P and P, lets face it, I love Darcy and Elizabeth's story and their HEA. However, that said, I must admit that I didn't jump on this book as quickly at I have her other variations. Big mistake! I finally decided that I would give it a try and I was hooked from the beginning. Such a really great story and you just can't help loving Col. Fitzwilliam (always one of my favorite characters from the original). Their trials were so heart wrenching and, well I won't spoil the ending but I will just say that this is such a good title. Don't miss it!!

I loved this story, no one ever writes a book about Colonel Fitzwilliam and he such a wonderful guy. He funny, courageous, loyal and always there when you need him. He has no money and never gets the girl. Well this time he is still funny, handsome, has an unknown sister, and inherits a fortune and a title to boot. Things still do not go easily for him in his love life he seems to hit a road block at every turn. This book is fun and just enough angst to make a great read. I hope Emmaline keeps the Colonel and his wife and sister prominent in her future writing.

A story about the Colonel and his loves. Darcy and Elizabeth already married and a whole new villain skulking about. I enjoyed this so much I read it in an afternoon. I couldn’t put it down!

I very literally could not even try to put this book down for a moment! It is 100% captivating in every single way!

The readers are kept close to the original Austen characters while learning more about some of the ones that drifted in the background. of course we are given a happy ending but are just enough uncertain of what that will be, that we stay tied to the story. Emmaline Hoffmeister does one of the better jobs with Austen variations.

The Darcy’s are married! They are planning their first Christmas at Pemberley, but they get overrun by every relative imaginable- wanted and unwanted. Poor Elizabeth fights to deliver a beautiful holiday season rather than give up and go to Bedlam. Very fun and dramatic P&P Christmas story.

Fun for the season. Lizzy and Darcy’s first Christmas is not what they expected but many of our favs have come to call. Some invited but many just dropped in to celebrate and to cause TROUBLE (oh no!). Can ODC handle their troublesome relatives? And how will they?
And as a bonus Col. Richard (Always, Team Richard!) has a major role (for the Colonel a private joke!)

Emmaline Hoffmeister writes another well written book about the Darcy's this one being their first Christmas. Reading about Pemberley and the goings on makes you feel like you are there. It includes all the follies you would expect of the Bennett and Fitzwilliam families when joined together and of course Lady Catherine. Darcy gives Lizzy the strength she needs to overcome all the challenges she is handed and they enjoy the holidays together. It's a fun read.

I have always wanted more of Georgiana Darcy's story. Threat of Scandal provides it and in the most satisfying way.

The story wrenched my heart for Georgiana. A young girl who has suffered so much. First to be betrayed by Wickham years earlier only then to have to deal with vicious lies told about her all over London.

One thing I really loved about Threat of Scandal is how the author took a Jane Austen sequel and added the elements of the usual Regency Romance novels (Duke's and Castles) to make a unique story. I haven't read any other Jane Austen Sequels like it, and I love it.

This was a compelling story, with all the characters I love and a few new ones.

I want to smack Lady Sophia.

The Duke of Rothford is just plain yummy. He is my new book-boyfriend!

A surprising story of how everything can change overnight, and how love can be found in the most unlikely circumstances.

Entertaining and romantic!

This story focuses on Georgiana a few years after the marriage of Darcy and Elizabeth. A rumor is flying through the ton about Georgiana and the Duke of Rothford. As one rumor is squashed another, more vicious rumor is passed around. Who is behind the rumors? What will happen to Georgiana's reputation? A very enjoyable story thats hard to put down.

I enjoyed the journey for this character and how the author incorporated the pride and prejudice personalities! Very well done!

This story fills in the gaps between Elizabeth and Darcy becoming engaged and marrying. It shows how their love grew during that time and became strong and steadfast.
I really enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more books by this author in the future.

The problem with most Pride & Prejudice fanfic is that the authors just plain stink at writing, and no amount of enthusiasm or Sexy Time scenes can overshadow that for me. But this lady can write, which is a discovery I can only describe as a relief. And she writes dialogue well -- when the characters speak, you have no trouble imagining those words coming out of their mouths. My only writing quibble was the use of words like "outerwear" and "footwear" -- people of that time would have just said "cloak" or "boots." Sometimes in an effort to be old timey, contemporary writers end up sounding like a corporate legal document instead. But it really is a quibble, and didn't hinder my enjoyment in the slightest.

There are no plot twists or shocks here -- just a sweet little fantasy about the characters we love, covering the time from "Dearest, loveliest Elizabeth" to the wedding night.

This story was surprising. We're introduced to a couple not just resigned to marry but eagerly looking forward to it. The measure of restraint exhibited was admirable and added to the anticipation. Anyone looking for insight into Mr.Darcy's true feelings will certainly enjoy this story.
