After the death of his wife, the former Anne de Bourgh, Darcy knows it is his duty to marry again to provide a male heir for Pemberley.

I specialize in writing stories for readers who want a quick romantic getaway with Mr. Darcy.

I've been half in love with Mr. Darcy since I was twelve, although I'll admit, the first time I read Pride and Prejudice, I was totally taken in by Wickham. I was stunned when Mr. Darcy proposed (I guess I was reading too quickly to catch all the hints), and even more stunned when Wickham turned out to be a jerk. But by the end of the book I was completely smitten by Darcy. I am still smitten.

The best part about writing Jane Austen Variations is that I can relive those moments of discovery and watch Elizabeth fall in love with Darcy one more time.

All my books and short stories are standalone stories, each with a slightly different Darcy and Elizabeth. Some stories of my stories are shorter (novellas) and some are longer because they are more complex - similar to the difference between a television episode and a movie. I believe both can be satisfying romances.

Jane Grix is a pen name of Beverly Farr, author of clean and clever contemporary romances. She also writes fairy tale Pride and Prejudice Variations under the pen name of Cass Grix.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sad tale
Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2022
Verified Purchase
This story has sadness running through it. Elizabeth is the eldest Bennet daughter whose mother died in childbirth. Her mother was the daughter of an inn keeper which is definitely low in the rungs of society. Her father married Miss Gardiner and she was unable to provide a son to break the entail. This tale follows the classic for events but has sad twists. Darcy's first wife was Anne who died after giving him a daughter. He's hunting for a wife who can mother his daughter and decides that Caroline Bingley will do!!! Netherfield Park definitely changes his opinions of Caroline and he becomes obsessed with Miss Elizabeth Bennet. Unfortunately there is an unexpected death in the family and it seems that people can die of trifling colds.
This story has sadness, inappropriate behaviour on the part of both Mrs Bennet and Lydia who ignore the mourning rules and hunt for husbands instead. Wickhams as bad as usual, Mr Collins is as repugnant as usual and Lady Catherine is as haughty as usual!! Pemberley is as magical as usual and Darcy remains the standard that I judge every man to.

I don't think I have ever read a book by Jane Grix that I didn't love. And I think that I have read them all - at least twice. One of my all time favorite authors. This book is just one of many favorites.

3.0 out of 5 stars a good read
Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2015

I almost became impatient with Elizabeth but I felt sympathy for all she'd gone through so that didn't happen. Sometimes a variation will annoy me with how insulated and self-centered she gets while feeding us the author's narrative of her kindness.

Glad I bought this despite uncertain reviews. Enjoyed it lots.

4.0 out of 5 stars The First But Not the Only Time Jane Was Killed Off
Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2019
Verified Purchase
Lots to love in this variation, Mr Darcy proposes not twice but three times, and woos Elizabeth by just letting her get to know the real him. She doesn't fall in love easily but obviously inspires several to propose before she can feel that way.

OTOH Jane and Mr Bennet are killed off and Mrs Bennet decides to remarry even before her husband has been interred. Well, no one ever said she was in love with Mr Bennet. But there are a few editorial faux pas that lost a star for this variation.

Mr Darcy is widowed from his marriage to Miss Anne de Bourgh and father to a lovely daughter, Juliette. Elizabeth refuses his first proposal, completely surprised by it. The second refusal was less logical but she ends up accepting his offer of becoming the governess to Juliette. As she comes to know Mr Darcy, inevitably she comes to love him, but he'd never demean himself to propose a third time, right?

This is a beautiful variation because you realize how both parties grow.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clean and well-written
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2016

When I look for a P and P variation, I search very hard through the reviews to make sure that it's clean. But I also have to like the plotline and this one was really good! This is written with just the right amount of romantic tension and a very satisfying ending.

I didn't mind that a few of the main characters were killed off, and that we explored the possibilities of what might have happened. I didn't mind that it didn't follow the original story. In fact, I find variations that follow the original too closely and quote too heavily out of the book to be boring. This was anything but.

My other pet leave is when writers of regency era romances insert modern language. Ms. Grix does a fine job. None of the language pops me out of the era into present day. It's not authentic, in the way a Georgette Heyer novel is authentic, but it's consistent and that allows me to stay in her fictional world without being rudely thrown back into my own.

Keep writing, Ms. Grix!

3.0 out of 5 stars A Slightly Disappointing Darcy
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2015
Nothing very memorable. Not the Darcy I am used to since he so willingly married his cousin prior to the stories beginning, and I found that so out of his character from the original. I did not expect to see him bend to family duty and expectations as he did by marrying Anne. Be ready for the deaths of two of the central figures in the story. It was not something that I found really exciting, nothing unexpected, and nothing excitingly new. It was so easy to skip over the ideas just regurgitated from the main story. When I read what ifs and alternative, I expect deviation from the original not a few new things thrown in but the majority following the same major events in the story. I seem to enjoy more those stories that keep the characters as their personalities are in the original but have major alterations to the events in the story; i.e., no Hunsford proposal, no Lydia-Wickham elopement, etc. This just did not live up to my expectations, and I was happy when the story had ended.

So familiar, yet full of surprises. Believable storyline. It was a pleasant way to spend an evening, Visiting Longborn, Cheapside, and Pemberley still had new things to discover. Recommend.

This story is like no other in the genre. Most of the J.A. characters are there, some wearing different clothes and leading differing lives. There is no obvious plot and the story line is chaotic stretching one's credulity. Having said all that and much to my surprise, i found at that having reached the end and ungritted my teeth, I had actually enjoyed it. But let potential readers take note; you have been warned
