Synopsis

When love needs a helping hand — or paw.Fitzwilliam Darcy has his hands full. His cousin had his heart broken, his sister’s confidence was recently shattered, one of his closest friends has taken on more responsibility than he can possibly handle, and an overbearing social climber has decided to prove to Darcy that she is his perfect match.When all of them travel together to Netherfield Park, everything goes wrong. Darcy finds himself dancing when he would rather not, cavorting with mules, and laughing with an impertinent young miss who shows him the lighter side of life.Elizabeth Bennet’s sympathies often extend to the disadvantaged and mistreated. So, when she meets Fitzwilliam Darcy under less than flattering circumstances, her heart goes out to the unfortunate gentleman. Extending him her friendship and her humor, she tries to be content with her lot while helping her dearest sister and friend find love with their new neighbors at Netherfield Park. But the more she comes to know Mr. Darcy, the greater his danger to her heart.With the help of a troublesome Maltese puppy and the interference of a tenacious rival whose tactics backfire at every turn, Mr. Darcy discovers that to win Miss Elizabeth’s heart, he must become the gentleman she believes him to be.A Splendidly (Un)suitable Match is a light-hearted, low-angst, Regency Rom-Com inspired by Jane Austen's timeless classic, Pride and Prejudice. It is appropriate for all audiences.

Goodreads review by Sam on September 30, 2024

An absolutely adorable read, with a tiny pooch as the star of the show. Together with this author's gift for banter and various humorous scenes involving multiple animals, the story has the reader wearing a smile the whole way through. A light hearted read, with little angst or high-drama, Miss Bing......more

Goodreads review by Susannah on July 13, 2021

What a fabulous romantic romp this book is. It was sheer joy to meet a new character, a graceful white haired Duchess, whose exuberant behaviour helps bring together our favourite couple. Elizabeth meets Darcy before he has the opportunity to offend her at the Meryton ball and throughout the novel s......more

Goodreads review by Teresita on July 16, 2021

I really enjoyed the changed circumstances in which Darcy and Elizabeth meet, and the way several interventions change Darcy's usual conduct. I really enjoyed the intervention of Duchess, the way in which Caroline fails at everything she attempts, and the surrounding romances in this lovely twist. I......more
