Perhaps even find happiness living in Kent? Who shall return from the war on the continent possibly needing assistance? After learning the conniving Miss Bingley is being banished from her brother’s new estate can Elizabeth help her beloved Jane by seeing Miss Bingley properly settled? Amidst the familiar faces continued follies new absurdities and sometimes harsh realities of all their acuaintance the Darcys with the considerable resources at their disposal must decide when and if to intervene on behalf of those they love Can Elizabeth help those she left behind? Should she?By Charm or By Choice? is the first of two books that comprise the Pride and Prejudice Continues series It is a sweet and clean Regency romance and a full length novel of 108000 words An interesting look into every day lifeThere is no doubt that the author has spent a considerable amount of time researching regency life The story is full of little details dropped in for no apparent purpose and without additional description I found myself constantly having to stop and research many of these details eg Ashlar Pattern or Lord and Lady Melbourne’s infidelities I can’t say I minded much I rather like going down a researching rabbit hole but it does rather break up the flow story I could see a lot of people would find this feature extremely tedious especially as there is also a great deal of unnecessary minutiae and repetitionThe plot line was also an exercise in detail long and drawn out with very little feeling or drama Again I didn’t hate this story but it was the ultimate slow burn that ended in a puff of smokeThere were some points that I did find very irritating First and foremost that there were far too many Americanisms and modern words used When you consider how much effort the author put into creating an authentic sounding story this was uite jarring For example the use of the appellation Pastor there was just no excuse for it Austen used clergyman and reverend and a simple google search indicates the origin of a Pastor is American The author also used modern words such as grabbed and grinned which just strikes me as lazy writing there is such a thing as a thesaurusOverall I suspect that very few people would find much enjoyment in this story
