Mr Darcy Forgets edition by Becky Riker Literature Fiction eBooks
A two part book where the first half was pure agony and the second half was pure delight.Part 1
Darcy had an accident on his way back to Pemberley, he had taken a blow to the head that erased the last year and a half. Having no memories since he left Hunsford, he believed his wife was the miss Elizabeth that despiced him.
That was not the only grievance Elizabeth experience though and to me at was a bit much...
The doctor advicing that they did not inform Darcy of the events that he did not remember, made Elizabeth's life rather heart-wrenching.
Part 2
Darcy had been appraised that Elizabeth was his wife and their relationships development was a joy to follow. Several other major characters also had their happily ever after and some of the twist and turns was both surprising and funny. This part of the book was a 5* worthy read to me.
I particularly adored the rendition of Darcy in this book. He was true to Austen's character, did not transform into an eloquent speaker but it was rather Elizabeth's understanding him better that made their relationship thrive.
I would have liked to have known if Darcy got all his memories back though, the story does not really tell.
Heartily recommend this book!

Mr Darcy Forgets edition by Becky Riker Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I enjoyed the storyline and the characters. The story moved along at a good pace and had some clever dialogue.
Some parts of the plot were underdeveloped but overall it held my attention. Nothing was said about what happened to Mrs Bennett. There were moments that felt rushed and some happenings did not seem very plausible but all in all I found it entertaining. Could use some editing and the formatting was pretty bad.
I have reread this book many times! I read it when it was in the first stages on a website and when i heard it was being published i wasnt surprised. It is one of my absolute favorite pride and prejuduce variations.
I did enjoy the premise of this story, and on the whole it was well worth the read. If you like happy endings (and who doesn't) then you will love this story. Everything falls into place in a most satisfactory and easy manner. Far to easy at times, eg, children are born within seconds of the mother going into labour (well, that is the way it seems) And with no complications at all, and of course give birth to the most beautiful babies ever beheld on the face of the Earth? Life is perfect for the Darcys, the Bingleys, Georgiana and Colonel Fitzwilliam, the unmarried Bennet sisters and even the bereaved Mr Bennet, who falls in love with a woman young enough to bear him twin sons, and thus make the entailment upon Longbourn moot, and Lady Catherine and Wickham get there just deserts. happily, Caroline Bingley, a horror throughout the book, has an epiphany and turns into a human being towards the end of the book, even meeting a man she actually comes to have feelings for and whom she would happily marry she actually falls for him before she finds out he has a title.
Of course, the beginning of the book is far from light and airy, but even fairy tales have their dark side. Darcy's accident and Lizzy's reaction, and her nursing her husband despite the gruff doctor's wishes, were very nicely written and evocative. Lizzy's distress and her appearance as observed by Jane when first she sees her sister following the traumatic events of Darcy's accident was just how a terrified young wife (who has just been through a very real trauma of her own) would be expected to appear and behave.
Darcy's confusion as to Elizabeth's presence and his emotional reaction to her being so near but still thinking she had no especial regard for him was truly poignant, but very frustrating the doctors orders seem cruel, but they are understandable.
Darcy's recovery is without major incident, and though he eventually gets his memories back, we never find out when it happens or if it is just a gradual process; suddenly Darcy is back to his normal self. His discovery of his married state happens quite inadvertently (he overhears his less aunt lambasting Lizzy because she has heard that her nephew has forgotten he is married to Miss Elizabeth Bennet.) But during the time after he finds out he is married, but before his memory is restored, not once does he ask Elizabeth how things progressed from their bitter pasting at Hunsford to their being happily married and that Lizzy, far from thinking him arrogant, conceited and disdainful of the rest of the world is actually very much in love with him.
But apart from the overall happy, happy, happy, there are some inconsistencies that definitely left a jarring note. The demise of Mrs Bennet, apart from a few tears shed by Lizzy and Jane upon first receiving the new is very cold and unrealistic, especially on soft-hearted and loving Jane's part..The journey to Longbourn is accomplished with no further displays of grief by the daughters and once arrived, Kitty seems very much in spirits, Mr Bennet is still in his study and does not come out to greet his daughters or their husbands, or comfort them (or they, him) and Mary is not mentioned at all. Darcy has a slight relapse and spends the whole of his stay at Longbourn in a bedroom and even misses the funeral. He does not know he is married at this stage; Lizzy's presence at Pemberley is explained away by Georgiana and her having developed a close friendship.
We are not informed of the reason for the Bennet matriarch's untimely demise had she been ill for a while, or was it sudden? Very strange indeed, especially as there are no spoken or visible regrets by any over her passing no moments of weeping or introspection by either Jane or Lizzy, Mary or Kitty (and Lydia does not bother to come to her mother's funeral). And then Lizzy, home again (for what seems only a day) receives a letter from Kitty telling her she is engaged to Thomas Lucas, and how happy she is and that she hopes her father will allow her to marry before the correct (indeed, any) period of mourning is observed. Mama is not missed by any, except Mr Bennet seems a little downcast and is perhaps missing teasing his wife. Of Mary, at this time, we have no information at all.
I am not sure if others felt as I did when we read that a new vicar had taken the living at Longbourn, but my first thought was that Mary's marriage prospects were set for fair sailing. And sure enough... The pair could have only known each other for 2 minutes. Kitty and Mary are married very, very quickly. Indeed, time seems to fly by at a rate of knots throughout this book.
Then we find out Mr Dixon has a widowed aunt who is coming to stay with him...welcome to Mrs Bennet mark 2!
All the Bennet sisters married and no hysterical Mrs Bennet to witness what would have been her greatest felicity. I am sure the remarriage of her husband would never have featured in her flights of fancy, indeed, she was always of a mind that she would be the one left after her husband's demise, to be kicked out of Longbourn by the usurper, Mr Collins.
There are quite a few letters throughout the book, but I found the final salutations in all of them very odd indeed. I know letter writing was a formal affair in Jane Austen's day, but I do not think even she would have written to her sister or her parents and signed herself, 'Jane Austen'! Lizzy writes to her father at one time and just signs herself, Elizabeth Bennet! Now that should be ...Darcy, and surely a loving daughter, at the very least would write, 'Your affectionate daughter' or even, 'affectionately, your Elizabeth'! Not one of them ever send their love, nor even affection, nor, if either of those are too feeling, your daughter (or sister as the case may be).
Even Mr Darcy's letter of explanation in the original work to Elizabeth, ends with 'I will only add, God bless you'. And yet, close family members do not even write something as generic as that to each other in this adaptation.
A pet peeve of mine (and it happens far too often in P&P adaptations and spin-offs, is mistakes made regarding travelling times. In this work, the Darcys manage to travel from London to Pemberley in a day!
You just have to read P&P to know that the trip from London to Pemberley requires one night on the road. Longbourn is further north still than London, and when the Gardiners and Lizzy were travelling home from Lambton 'as expeditiously as possible', after Lydia's elopement, they still had to spend one night on the road and arrived in time for dinner the next day.
This misinformation really, really irritates me because all one has to do is open the book to determine what sort of times are involved in travel. I am not even convinced that this author realises that Derbyshire is in the north of the country, because at one stage Lizzy is heard to say that she hopes (so and so) can come DOWN to visit them! That makes it appear that the author thinks, Hertfordshire, London, or Kent, are north of Pemberley. (I am unsure who it was Lizzy was exhorting to visit them, hence the variable points of departure for such a visit regardless, all are far south of Derbyshire.)
There were many, many mistakes with spelling, grammar and syntax, so one wonders if an editor was involved in the novel's birth or not.
A few Americanisms slipped in to the text eg, 'enjoying the cool of the Fall afternoon.' In England, (and pretty much anywhere else in the world) Fall is Autumn.
And to top all other offences, the author has spelled 'Pemberly' (Pemberley is correct)...once again, just open the original work if not sure of the spelling of names or places throughout the book A most serious offence!
Other than cringing over these pet peeves of mine (it perhaps does not bother other people) I was still able to read the book and enjoy it. Some of the dialogue was beautifully written, especially some of the banter between Lizzy and Darcy. The only sad note is poor Charlotte's lot in life if far from idyllic, but after Lady Catherine's demise (she is once again on her way to try and disrupt someone's life) perhaps Mr Collins might improve in temperament without having to toady to the great (in her own eyes anyway) woman's every desire and utterance. Ann, it seems will be a much more human patroness, and Rosings and it environs will benefit from her beneficence.
Worth the read...

I rarely do not finish a book, especially a quick read like this. Not only am I not finishing it, I'm actually returning it, a first for me. I might be more forgiving of the NUMEROUS errors throughout the book (including misspelling a character's name, not as a typo but simply because that's how she thought the name was spelled and couldn't be bothered to check before publishing) and the horrific formatting if this book was free either on a fan fiction site or through 's free lending library. But what would make me finally give up on it even if it was free, is that the main plot idea gets wrapped up within the first half of the book. I will admit that even though it is a bit of a trite sorry idea, I love this kind of plot. I don't think I would like a real book like that because it is trite but I over look things like that for fan fiction. But there is very little drama or conflict or even story that revolves around it. Darcy gets hurt, Elizabeth frets, Darcy loses his memory, Elizabeth frets, Darcy gets told/remembers mostly everything, book should end but you're only half way through. There are several things that had happened that could have expanded the book, but instead are just glossed over. Things that have happened post P&P that would have been interesting to hear about but much like Darcy, we are just told about them and then moved along in basically the space of a couple of pages. Save your money and time.
I had mixed feelings about this book! althoughI liked the general story line,. it was well written in terms of dialogue was clever, but thought it started the way it ended...abrupt!! it started with the news of Mr. Darcy's accident, briefly alluded to Elizabeths miscarriage. Darcy suffers from memory loss that his doctors says could take time to recover from and that he should not be given too much information of his past. The next thing you know he know''s of his marriage to Elizabeth is fine with it and his memory loss is hardly mentioned again.
A two part book where the first half was pure agony and the second half was pure delight.
Part 1
Darcy had an accident on his way back to Pemberley, he had taken a blow to the head that erased the last year and a half. Having no memories since he left Hunsford, he believed his wife was the miss Elizabeth that despiced him.
That was not the only grievance Elizabeth experience though and to me at was a bit much...
The doctor advicing that they did not inform Darcy of the events that he did not remember, made Elizabeth's life rather heart-wrenching.
