Honor and Integrity: A Collection of Pride and Prejudice-Inspired Short Stories [Kindle Edition]

Enid Wilson (Author), Aimée Avery (Author), June Williams (Author)

Book Description

What if Mr. Darcy’s mother was still alive? What if the Bennet sisters had suitors who were unacceptable? What if Elizabeth didn't realize Darcy's identity? And what if three authors of Jane Austen-inspired stories put their heads together and challenged each other with creating stories which contain the words ‘honor’ or ‘integrity’?

This collection of nine short stories contains sweet, romantic and intriguing stories across Regency, fantasy and modern genres.

You can find steampunk, deception, manipulation, theft, murder, love, marriage, coffee and many more themes in this volume.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Three authors of Jane Austen-inspired stories gathered together and came up with an idea to challenge each other. This collection includes nine short stories, in Regency, Fantasy and Modern genres.

The tagalong story is a fun creation, with Aimée starting it without letting June and Enid knowing her plot. Enid brought Jane Austen's favourite couple to the future which caused headaches for June. June concluded the tagalong by sending Darcy and Elizabeth to some wild places.  

This book also includes two original stories from the authors.

The rule of the game was the authors must use the words "Honor" or "Integrity" in their creation.

We hope you like these short stories.

Aimée, June and Enid

3.0 out of 5 stars A variety of Short stories with a P&P theme August 15, 2012

OK let's see! This is definitely a collection of short stories. I did feel it started out a little slow. The first story was cute and I did like the fact that we got a feel for who was Mr. Darcy's mother and it seems she is a lot like all the other Mama's trying to find the right girl for her son. I would give this SS a 3star.
The next story has Lydia marrying a different (mercenary) officer with Darcy's help and the story takes off from there. This story ws a little longer and again I would rate it 3stars.
The 3rd story was absolutlely diverting and I enjoyed it very much. It is a fantasy where Elizabeth meet Darcy in 2011 and finds out that he is able to time travel. She finds out by an extraordinary person. G.E.O.R.G.E. All 3 authors contribute to this story and I just loved it. I rated this story 4stars.
Now the next story I really am confused about because it starts and has great potential and the author stops and leaves you hanging and tells you that maybe at a later date she will finish the story!!! I have to say it earned a 2star. Maybe if the story finished I could give a better rating as it is I'm just very confused!
Lastly the 3rd section of the book is all modern P&P and I enjoyed all of these stories very much. I would rate these stories between 3-4 stars.
Overall the book was ok and it was easy to read especially because they were nice short stories that you could pick up and put down with out feeling like you left something unread. You could read a quick story and then pick up later and go on. I do have to say that the gem in the whole book was the last story and I would rate that 41/2 stars. Really enjoyed the story!

Though this was a quick read, they are so entertaining. Enid Wilson is a wonderfully inspired author who has captured the spirit and soul of Miss Bennet and Mr. Darcy. Purchase this and continue to be amazed with every story.

These stories were very enjoyable. The three authors have their own style and they complement each other very well. These is a good read for a weekend.
