Will her brother’s opinion keep her from finding true love?

The Bennet ladies are all eager anticipation. Netherfield has been let at last! And joy of all joys, it has been leased to a single young gentleman of good fortune! To Elizabeth’s delight, the new neighbor has not come alone but has brought with him a handsome friend. With any luck, if this gentleman proves to be more than just handsome, it will not only be Jane who finds a husband.

Fitzwilliam Darcy has heard many times over the past weeks about the fabled beauties of Longbourn from his friend who is leasing the estate next door. However, he is not prepared for just how unexaggerated those claims are when he meets two of the ladies from Longbourn and their brother while on a ride.

While Darcy and Elizabeth would like to get to know more about each other, Elizabeth’s brother is not as favourably inclined to the match. He knows a secret, and, unless he can learn to trust that anyone could ever be worthy of his beloved sister, his censure may just be the thing that keeps them apart forever.

Assessing Mr. Darcy is the first novel-length addition to Leenie Brown's Dash of Darcy and Companions Collection of Pride and Prejudice inspired stories. If you like well-written sweet romance featuring strong family ties and unbending devotion, then you will enjoy this story about love persevering through pain and triumphing over familial prejudice.

So, put the kettle on, grab your copy of Assessing Mr. Darcy, and slip into a world of sweet and endearing romantic indulgence today.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

This book is part of my Dash of Darcy and Companions Story Collection. These Pride and Prejudice inspired stories are quick, sweet reads designed to fit perfectly into a busy life.

Dash of Darcy titles in this collection will focus on Darcy and Elizabeth, while each Companion Story focuses on characters from Pride and Prejudice other than Darcy and Elizabeth and is a sequel to a Dash of Darcy story.

While references will be made in the Companion Stories to events which happened in the previous Dash of Darcy story, each sequel contains a complete happily ever after for the hero and heroine.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Leenie Brown's heroes, when growing up, were authors, and the worlds they painted with words were (and still are) her favourite playgrounds! Now, as an adult, she spends much time in the regency world, playing with the characters from her favourite Jane Austen novels and those of her own creation.

When she is not traipsing down a trail in an attempt to keep up with her imagination, Leenie resides in the beautiful province of Nova Scotia with her two sons and her very own Mr. Brown (a wonderful mix of all the best of Darcy, Bingley and Edmund with a healthy dose of the teasing Mr. Tilney and just a dash of the scolding Mr. Knightley).

Enjoyable Variation!

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

I love Ms. Brown's writing style, and this story was very enjoyable. To start, I think the cover of the book sets the tone for the story, and on this one I imagine cousin William to be the handsome man on the cover, which goes a long way toward being able to accept him as a good lead character in this story, instead of the overbearing, aged parson as we know him. I enjoyed having his story woven into the family history as he grew up with the Bennets. The characters are more verabally open. I loved that both Charles and Mr. Darcy set Caroline Bingley straight regarding her aspirations of becoming Mrs. Darcy. I wanted to applaud! Mr. Hurst even has his say in things and we learn him to be of a sensible mind. I enjoyed having the story centered on Jane and Elizabeth, mostly leaving out the younger daughters and Mrs. Bennet. The were only a couple of the Austenisms that we've come to know, but that was okay. It was lively, fun and great variation. I found only three proofreading errors, which helped the read move quickly.

Loved the premise of this story

I loved the premise of this story! It was a unique perspective/variation. Well done Leenie Brown! I loved that Mr Collins was raised as a family member of the Bennetts. There was no L&W elopement. A story line I'm tired of. Thank you. I really liked Jane's personality in this story. She was good with a little bit of spunk. Mrs B still had her nerves but they were not overwhelming. The right amount of angst with a HEA. I did feel the story ended a little abruptly.

Enjoyable but - ! (SPOILERS!!)

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2020

Verified Purchase

I liked the premise of Mr. Collins having been raised as a Bennett due to the early death of his father. All the usual characters are improved versions of their canon characters: Mrs. Bennett and Miss Bingley aren’t quite as obnoxious, Mr. Bennett is more involved in the family life, even Jane exhibits a firmer character. The main problem I have with this isn’t that the romances are a tad unbelievable, with all persons involved deciding they’re in love after only a couple of meetings, but that all the misunderstanding on William Bennett’s (Mr. Collins) part about Darcy could have been cleared up if he had simply asked Mr. Darcy for his side of the story. Elizabeth was the only one to do that, but did she pass on the true facts of Wickham’s lies? No. Nor did Mr. Bennett ask Darcy for the facts, even after William has challenged Darcy to a duel which, again, could have been avoided if Mr. Bennett had stepped in to request facts. Or Bingley could have, for that matter! It’s the otherwise intelligent characters behaving stupidly that caused me to downgrade this story to three stars. Luckily, this all gets resolved satisfactorily in the end or it might have been two stars.

The Bennett’s have a son!?!

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2023

This was a very sweet and enjoyable variation on Pride and Prejudice. I loved the relationship between Elizabeth and her brother, William. It was an insta-love all around, but with the discussions that took place, it was more understandable.

An interesting Collins

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2024

Verified Purchase

Collins has been with the Bennet family since orphaned at the age of 10. He grew up with the girls as a brother and protects them as such. It is he who first develops a poor opinion of Darcy from the beginning. The book follows Darcy, Elizabeth, and Collins as the relationship between them changes and develops. I particularly liked the end.

Definitely sweet but absolutely unique and entertaining

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is such a sweet book. It's low angst but not so low I was bored. There was certainly conflict but the love story is cemented pretty quickly, leaving time to explore other relationships. Caroline is redeemed a little, and Wickham certainly seems to get his due, so the "bad guys" are still there. I loved the Bennet girls finally getting the older brother they always needed.

Mr. Collins comes to live with the Bennets at age 10 when his father dies. They are his only relatives and he is the heir.

Having grown up with the sisters he takes the place of a brother. He is still intellectually challenged and a stubborn kind of fellow but since he missed out on a lot of his father’s abuse and had the love and caring of the Bennets, he has turned out well and is part of the family.

The story is original and was a fun read.

such a pleasure to read (part of the A Dash of Darcy and Companions Collection 2)

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2023

Verified Purchase

There are times when a book just wraps you into it with the warmth of what is always familiar but telling you a tale that you could never have imagined. I loved this book, and though quickly did the couples find one another, so, too, did it have some of my favorite elements and a wonderful cousin who became the protective older brother of the girls. It was such a pleasure to read!

Mmmmm ...

Reviewed in Canada on November 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

I was always taught that, if you couldn't say something nice, you didn't say anything at all. Which makes reviewing this story quite difficult; although the premise is not bad, neither the plot, characters, nor the romance came together enough to make this story work. Altogether, everything felt forced and rushed.

Great adaptation of pride and prejudice but to then take it further so as to learn more about what happened next to Mary was fantastic
