I can not believe it! Colonel Fitzwilliam, you are NOT a gentleman! I never knew this day would come, but Sir, I challenge you to a duel!

So that was a whirlwind. As for the rest, Darcy, I mean damn it, just TALK to her. Most of this book was him being sad because she had jilted him. Sad sad sad Darcy. Angry Darcy. Just man up! Talk yo her, ask her! I want to slap you too for being such a sad idiot.

And then there was the Colonel who was all Lizzy is evil, stay away from her. I wanted to slap him so bad.

Lydia was an idiot. Wickham, yes bad, but there were a few moments where I saw a soul

Still, my least fav in the series, because it was too long and Darcy was too sad

Is not the very meaning of love that it surpasses every objection against it? Jilted. Never did Mr. Darcy imagine it could happen to him.

But it has, and by Elizabeth Bennet, the woman who first hated and rejected him but then came to love him—he believed—and agree to be his wife. Alas, it is a short-lived, ill-fated romance that ends nearly as soon as it has begun. No reason is given.

More than a year since he last saw her—a year of anger, confusion, and despair—he receives an invitation from the Bingleys to a house party at Netherfield. Darcy is first tempted to refuse, but with the understanding that Elizabeth will not attend, he decides to accept.

When a letter arrives, confirming Elizabeth’s intention to join them, Darcy resolves to meet her with indifference. He is determined that he will not demand answers to the questions that plague him. Elizabeth is also resolved to remain silent and hold fast to the secret behind her refusal. Once they are together, however, it proves difficult to deny the intense passion that still exists. Fury, grief, and profound love prove to be a combustible mixture. But will the secrets between them be their undoing?
