Perfect for fans of Janice Hadlows The Other Bennet Sisterand Gill Hornbys Miss Austen, this sweet, character-driven Pride and Prejudice continuation gives one of Jane Austens most pragmatic heroines her own heartwarming tale of self-discovery, emotional growth, and unexpected romance. She survived a loveless marriage to the Reverend Mr. Collins, but gaining her independence is only the beginning. Newly widowed Charlotte Collins wants nothing more than a quiet, secure life in a cozy Kent cottage, far from the tedious sermonizing of her late husband. As she steps back into society to chaperone her flighty younger sister, Maria, Charlotte vows to keep her sensible head and guard her hard-won freedom. But her practical world is turned upside down by the arrival of Mr. Benjamin Basford, a refreshingly brash American who challenges every English social convention she holds dear. When the calculating Mr. Lewis Edgington steals an embroidered glove and threatens a devastating scandal, Charlotte faces an agonizing choice between public ruin and her own self-respect. With Lady Catherine de Bourgh vowing eviction and vicious gossip consuming Westerham, Charlotte's hard-won sanctuary begins to crumble. To protect her family and reclaim her future, Charlotte must decide whether to retreat into safe isolation or risk opening her heart to an unexpected second chance at real love. Charlotte may discover that some rules of propriety are meant to be broken.©2010 Jennifer Becton (P)2013 Jennifer Becton Fiction Historical Historical Fiction Regency Regency Romance Romance Marriage

I really enjoyed this well written original interpretation of how Charlotte's story might continue and it was admirably read by the narrator.
My only caveat is that in a story about England why did the author decide to employ American words and grammar like Drape for curtain, Sidewalk for pavement, Fall for autumn and to 'look out the window' In Britain we look out OF the window.
The sense of period was good so why not make it perfect. Presumably American readers can cope with Jane Austen English.
A small point really but it grates every time.

A very good story but...

Having read many Pride and Prejudice variations, this one is one of the best so far. The characters are believable ,although they can be recognised as being similar to characters in the original. That being said I thoroughly enjoyed Charlotte Collins and I know I will listen again

Perfect listening for cold winter days

I read the Caroline Bingley book first, and then moved on to this one. I'm really enjoying these stories about Pride and Prejudice characters.

Excellent book
