Book Synopsis
Dear Reader, have you ever wondered what happened after Pemberley?
Playing Miss Bennet by Rebecca Anderson
Twenty-year-old Kitty Bennet, visiting London for a season as a companion to Mrs. Gordon, is simultaneously attracted and repelled by a flirty rake. How would a girl like Kitty respond to his roughish behavior? Impossible to tell when she doesn't even understand herself. She must use their time together to practice being someone else. She's sure when she decides which of her sisters' personalities is the best fit, she'll know both who she is and what she wants. Of course, what she wants couldn't possibly be Augustus Haverford. Not with that wicked smile and that tendency to say scandalous things. Can Kitty convince herself he's all wrong for her? Or does fate have something altogether more romantic in mind?
Sisters and Second Chances by Samantha Hastings
Sixteen years since her own elopement, widow Lydia Wickham saves a young woman from running away with a scoundrel. In gratitude the father, Viscount Kingston, offers Lydia a position as chaperone. Childless and estranged from her sisters, Lydia eagerly accepts. Little did Lord Kingston or his daughter the honorable Chloe know how Lydia would shake up their dull, scholarly existence and turn their trio into a family.
The Colonel's Conviction by Sarah L. McConkie
Shrouded by his military facade and careful in love as the younger son of an Earl, Colonel Fitzwilliam has yet to find his soul-mate. When he's tasked to watch over Georgiana Darcy and her new companion—a striking young widow named Clara—he's instantly drawn in, even if he did make a muck of their first meeting. But Clara has a difficult past and a complicated future, and it will be up to the Colonel to show her that no matter how insurmountable the obstacles, hearts can open...if she's willing to take a chance on him.

My Review
Timeless Collections are some of my favorites, and I was excited to read this Regency Collection of stories about the characters from Pride and Prejudice.
Now that Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth are happily married, this collection explores the lives of some minor characters, giving them their own stories to tell.
The first story, Playing Miss Bennet by Rebecca Anderson, follows Kitty as she leaves home to be a companion to Mrs. Gordon. Kitty struggles to find her true self and tries to imitate her sisters. Humor runs with her trying out each sister's personality while getting to know Augustus Haverford. In the end, she learns that being herself is the best way to catch the man she desires.
The second story, Sisters and Second Chances by Samantha Hastings, centers on Lydia Bennet Wickham, now older and wiser after becoming a widow. She ends up saving a young girl from making the same mistakes she once made. This act surprises Lydia and brings love into her life in a way she never expected.
The third story, The Colonel's Conviction by Sarah L. McConkie, features Mr. Darcy's younger sister, Georgiana, her friend Widow Clara, and Colonel Benjamin Fitzwilliam. Secrets and surprises unfold as Clara and Benjamin grow closer. It was nice to see more of the Colonel’s search for happiness.
This collection offers charming, romantic stories that fans of Pride and Prejudice will enjoy. It broadens the world of the Bennet family in a fun and sweet way.

Sarah L. McConkie started her writing career in the second grade with a thirteen-page magnum opus about dinosaurs. Although the plotline and penmanship lacked polish, Sarah learned she loved retiring to bed thinking of stories. On a good night, she still does the same thing. She took up the pen several years later after tucking her own little dreamer into bed and now combines modern-life experiences, a robust knowledge of historical hallmarks, and a passion for all things old-fashioned and proper to craft her historical romances. She co-stars with her own Mr. Right in the real-life romantic comedy she calls life as they raise their five darling children. Sarah believes creating thought-provoking and moral stories promotes literacy in a world that needs more readers. Sarah is a best-selling author and her work has earned both the Swoony Award and the LDSPMA Praiseworthy Award.
