The Laughter of Love: A Pride and Prejudice Variation (Her Unforgettable Laugh, #3)The Laughter of Love: A Pride and Prejudice Variation by Linda Thompson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This Pride and Prejudice trilogy concludes. How will Mrs Bennet cope with the weddings. Will there be happy endings for everyone or are some destined for unhappines.
Enjoyed because my favourite pairing happened, just a pity there was not more of this interesting pairing. A re-read.

Laughter Through Trials: A Pride and Prejudice Variation (Her Unforgettable Laugh, #2)Laughter Through Trials: A Pride and Prejudice Variation by Linda Thompson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This Pide and Prejudice trilogy continues as Elizabeth Bennet is now in town to face the ton. Soon she is joined by Jane and Mary. Elizabeth continues to be irritatingly perfect which distracts from the story. A bit of a sweet story though there is Lady Marjorie and Caroline Bingley with of course George Wickham to add some needed sourness. Liked the start of a possible romance for Mary.
An entertaining story, a re-read.

Her Unforgettable Laugh: A Pride and Prejudice Variation (Her Unforgettable Laugh, #1)Her Unforgettable Laugh: A Pride and Prejudice Variation by Linda Thompson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In this Pride and Prejudice variation 15 year old Elizabeth Bennet is visiting the Gardiners. While walking in Hyde Park she foils a kidnap attempt by Wickham on Georgiana Darcy. All Darcy can remember is Elizabeth's curls and her laugh. Until at the Meryton Assembly he hears the same laugh.... Unfortunately I found Elizabeth to be irritatingly near perfect.
An enjoyable variation, a re-read.
