Rating 3,5 Stars!
To start with, it was a good book and I liked it. The plot was entertaining even if somewhat predictable for one instance. Or at least for me.
The story line it's about Darcy and Elizabeth on their wedding day, just as they want to say I do, someone barges in to stop the wedding and claiming Darcy is already promised to another, even producing a document. Of course there will be no wedding between ODC on this day. From there on begins kind of a race to prove that this document is fake and both can finally marry.
I think when a marriage was interrupted in this fashion, there would be much talk. It would have been interesting to hear IF our Heroine was victim of such rumors and if they affected the family if so.
The second point, at first Darcy was the reformed one from canon but after the middle of the book, he was growing more and more like his former self so much so that there was a point where I didn't liked him.
Another point, I personally would have wished to read Elizabeth and Lizzy as names not only her nickname (Lizzy). After a time it was too much.
About the steamy part, it was perfectly written. Not too vulgar but still good explained.
But overall a good book and I enjoyed it. Something to recommend.

Elizabeth is standing at the alter waiting her turn for the minister to finish with Jane and Mr. Bingley’s vows excited to say her own vows to her love Darcy. Elizabeth and Darcy step up prepared to say their vows the wedding is interrupted by lady Catherine. Darcy asks Elizabeth to have faith they would overcome this interruption. The story continues as Darcy stands his ground that he will not marry his cousin no matter what contracts lady Catherine shoves at him.
I liked the plot idea and knew it would be a roller coaster of a ride.
What really pulled me in was the “how” of the situation had me reading late into the night, I admit my fault because I started to read in the evening. How was Lady Catherine able to suddenly come up the signed documents.
The reaction of the Darcy’s Fitzwilliam aunt and uncle was difficult for me to stomach, however it was Darcy’s supposed fiancé Anne de Bourgh that had me wanting to pull my hair. I just couldn’t believe her response to her mother’s machinations. I think having Elizabeth’s uncle Philips as a voice of reason was brilliant. Also no Mrs Bennet was a huge bonus!
When starting the book it was stated there would be a happy ending and no cliffhanger, which kept me believing the entire debacle would resolve itself. I will say I didn’t like Lady Matlock character and a tiny part still held hard feelings against Anne de Bourgh.
It makes me appreciate the authors so much more as I had such a reaction to their story.
If you love angst caused by Lady Catherine along with happy ending you will enjoy this book.

Story begins at Darcy and Elizabeth’s wedding when Lady C objects when the clergy asks that important question. The basis is a marriage contract that was miraculously found recently that was allegedly signed by Louis deBourgh and Darcy’s father when Anne was born.
Everyone, except Lady C, believes the contract is bogus. But that is not the point of the story. The struggles that follow allow even more growth and understanding not only between Elizabeth and Darcy but others as well. Be assured there is a HEA with some steamy scenes as an additional bonus.

Review also posted on my blog
https://myjaffobsession.blogspot.com/...
Everyone always holds their breath during a wedding, when the priest declares “If any man can show just cause, why they may not lawfully be joined together, let him now speak, or else hereafter for ever hold his peace”
But rarely does anybody speak.
Except Lady Catherine de Burgh.
In so many Pride and prejudice variations, her objection usually amounts to “I want him to marry my daughter and I am accustomed to getting my own way “
In this variation, she has a signed and sealed marriage contract to wave under the priest’s nose.
This is obviously heartbreaking for Darcy and Elizabeth. He feels that his honour is offended, she worries about being abandoned.
They both head for Rosings to find answers.
Darcy’s new solicitor, Mr Patel is an interesting character, who proves useful on several fronts.
The way of solving this conundrum, is to find a worthy husband for Anne de Burgh.
The planning of a ball, to meet suitors is sound, but locating it in the assembly room of the Hunsford Inn seems a little down market for the aristocracy.
There are several “steamy” scenes which are stylistically different to the rest of the novella. I am presuming that these were written by Abbey North. I have enjoyed her books but it doesn’t fit well with the rest of the story
Not bad, worth a read.

Did not finish..
This is a 2.5 review as I did not finish the book. I could not get into it. The story did not read right. Lizzy and Darcy did not sound like themselves. Also I felt non of the emotions. At 46% in I realized that it did not read in the tone of the 1800's. The spoke very modern and sounded American. I just could not complete it.

Daddy's Wedding Day Disaster Review
Good reading character development well done in my view and of course a happily ever after for both Elizabeth and Darcy.

Elizabeth Bennet is just standing in the church to finally marry her beloved Fitzwilliam when the ceremony is interrupted. A mystery from Darcy's past needs their immediate attention and postpones the wedding. With their future at stake Darcy desperately tries to resolve the issue as fast as possible. Can Darcy find a way to balance family interests with his love for Elizabeth? Will he find a solution before it is too late or will he lose her?
The book is written by the authors Andrea David and Abbey North and it is well written.There are some parts for mature audiences in it but it is not the main part of the story and not written in a vulgar way.
The family issue that keeps Darcy and Elizabeth apart is very thrilling, sometimes I thought there will never be a way out to insure a happy ever after for them. I feel with them and I can understand their impatience, repressed feelings and desperation. And I can also understand Darcy's and Elizabeth's different ways they prefer to resolve the matter, although I was a bit disappointed about Darcy's way of thinking. He sometimes seems not to have learned anything from his first time with Elizabeth when he loved her and she detested him and he then needed to change his haughty attitude. This naturally leads to quarrels and disharmony between the couple. I sometimes wanted to shake Darcy. He has finally won Elizabeth's heart but does not value that but is about to put everything in danger only to please some members of his family. But I was glad that all was solved in the end.
I really like that in this story Elizabeth uncle Philip has a more prominent role and that he is of help for Elizabeth and Darcy. I really liked him in here, he was very sympathetic. And I also liked Lord and Lady Matlock, Darcy's aunt and uncle, very much. I liked that they have accepted Elizabeth as Darcy's bride and that they tried to help Darcy solve the family issue that postponed his wedding.
I really hated the person who caused the family issue that postponed the wedding. This person was the only villain in the story but this person will definitely walk over dead bodies. The trouble the person causes was very well written as well as the way this person was able to instrumentalise others to have his/her way.
One thing that bothered me a little was that Elizabeth was always Lizzy for everyone. I'm ok with her family calling her Lizzy. I can even very well imagine Darcy calling her Lizzy sometimes but not all the time. During the course of the book it was sometimes just a bit to much.
I give 4,5 stars rounded up to five.
The book is for mature audiences.
If you like to share the excitement of an interrupted wedding day and to untangle the issue with ODC you should definitely read this book.
I highly recommend it.

[TL;DR: Historical Accuracy: 3/10 — Regency rating: jarringly inconsistent — Yank Rating: what's up, y'all? — Darcy: Generic Hallmark Hero Who's Rich and Arrogant — Lizzy: Generic Hallmark Heroine Who's Totally Individual — Writing: FFN]
To begin with my main issue: the main plot doesn't hold up against the legalities of the time as there was legal recourse against betrothal contracts made without the explicit consent of either party.
If, however, you suspend disbelief and continue anyway in spite of the many period inaccuracies, the story awaits with an Elizabeth that is no longer witty and charming and intelligent, a Darcy who lost his decisive, steadfast manner and his clear moral compass and is instead manipulated by his relatives to tolerate a terrible wrong “to keep the peace”. ODC’s dynamic has naught to do with Pride and Prejudice and the struggles of romance ca. 1800, but now more closely resembles the inane arguments of any old American couple unable to carry out differences in ooioniin in a rational manner. And I'm very much not here for that.
The writing is sadly of poor quality and in dire need of editing (every chapter another character experiences “relief wash over them”).
Overall, this story is far too frustrating on all accounts to merit a read. 2.0 cannot recommend.

Thanks to BookSprout for a copy of this ebook and this is my freely given opinion.
This is a novella continuing the story of Darcy and Elizabeth in the Pride and Prejudice world. In this story, Darcy and Elizabeth were on their way down the aisle in a double wedding with Jane and Bingley when their plans were knocked asunder by the mechanisms of Darcy's aunt, Catherine De Bourgh who produces a viable objection to their marriage in 20 year old signed marriage contract between Darcy and her daughter Anne, signed by their dead fathers.
Darcy and Elizabeth work together to figure out a way out of Catherine's legal conundrum, but this stresses their relationship. New characters are introduced, and Anne blossoms and comes into her own when given a chance to come out from under the overprotective shadow of her mother.
This was a charming little addition to the P&P world, and while the central story of Darcy and Elizabeth was OK, I did not find the steamy bits actually did anything to add to the story, and I actually liked the aspects of Anne's growth more interesting, in her blossoming friendship with Elizabeth, increasing self confidence, finding her voice, defiance of her mother, taking charge of her own life, and finding her own romance.
3.5 stars out of 5

This story starts with the wedding of Bingley and Jane and then, after their nuptials are completed, Darcy and Elizabeth are to exchange their vows. Unfortunately, only the first wedding is completed. As the vows are being read for ODC, Lady Catherine rides in on her broom to put an end to the ceremony. The old trope of Lady C's regarding Anne and Darcy's imagined engagement puts a stop to the proceedings. She produces a marriage contract to the rector signed by George Darcy and Sir Lewis de Bourgh. Thus, her well-timed and mean-spirited interruption is successful.
Lawyers are hired by both Elizabeth and Darcy and that's where the story really starts to take off. Lady C couldn't be any more of a virago; she refuses to back down and is absolutely vicious in her quest for the marriage of her daughter and nephew.
Where does our beloved couple go from here? Both have hired an attorney, Lady C gets more and more nasty promoting her wishes and poor Anne has no idea which side to take. So, does a despicable plot prevail or does true love triumph?

Even though I knew it was a HEA, the authors still managed to keep up a level of angst and tension before getting us to a resolution. This had a fairly unique take and character development for Anne de Bourgh which I quite liked.
Lizzy was a more mature incarnation that we usually see in JAFF but still had that stubbornness, (and perhaps I'm unusual in thinking) pride that keeps her from really seeing the situation from Darcy's perspective without a tonne of assumptions and prejudice - which results in her not being able to truly reach out and communicate (or at least in a way that he can understand) her POV.
Darcy is always the one that has to unbend and meet others in their camp [it's a bit of a pet peeve of mine ;)]. Not to say that he doesn't need to unbend and see things from others' perspectives; it's just unbalanced between him and Lizzy (to be fair - the authors did a good job of having Lord & Lady Matlock fill this role of advisors/mentors for him even if they didn't fully support him - again IMO).
In any case, this was well written, well rounded and engrossing.

In this book, Lady Catherine starts out mean and nasty. She shows up to the wedding of Darcy & Elizabeth with what looks like a valid marriage contract for Darcy and Anne de Bourgh, apparently signed by Sir Louis de Bourgh and Darcy's father. Darcy is certain it is a forgery, but all the legal niceties have to be followed as he swears he will never marry anyone but Elizabeth. What follows is an interesting adventure of legalese, signature verification talks, and convincing Anne to nullify the contract. Elizabeth is genius here.
I loved the romance in the story and how Darcy and Elizabeth managed to (mostly) keep their future in mind and eventually build a stronger relationship. I liked the new character of the solicitor Mr. Patel, he is a smart dude; able to schmooze to Lady Catherine but still be a real person.

I'm a huge fan of Pride and Prejudice, so I didn't think twice when I discovered this spin-off by Abbey North and Andrea David.
I was surprised at how well written it was, with fabulous quotes (Austen fashion!), excellent development of characters we all know without straying off the original novel.
I loved the book's intake on Lizzy and Darcy's love story and how they learn that marriage is not a happily ever after, but a "to be continued". They are different, so it will be natural for them to disagree here and there. The importat point is how they will whoose to deal with such moments.
This book filled my heart with joy and I couldn't stop smilling or smirking at the dialogues.
Recommended for all lovers of historical steamy romance, happy endings and lovely characters! And, of course, for my fellow Jane Austen's fans!

The Lady Catherine maneuver.
This is a fresh and unique version looking at a very new aspect of Darcy and Elizabeth story. I never anticipated Lady Catherine to take this stance! Although a lot of the story was tied up in legal-ease, it was satisfying to watch Darcy and Elizabeth examine the situation once again through the lens of pride and prejudice. I really enjoyed watching this beloved couple really communicate – both in agreement, disagreement and even challenging each other about what they really stood for. This was a great story with a feel good HEA.

Darcy in BIG trouble!
Wedding forestalled. Mysteries arisen. Panic emerged. Travel required. People gathered to the show. And … another ball prepared. Darcy thought poetry is the food for love; Elizabeth imagine dancing the food for love; what about forgery? Darcy torn between duty and honour, has he ever changed from his haughty self?
I thought Darcy disliked assemblies, but when participating parties is the only way out? the only way to avoid parties for good? A family party seems mandatory.
This is a fun story with a very indecisive Darcy and a very determined (determined in every way…) Lizzy. Quick read with some HOT moments!!.

I enjoyed reading Darcy's Wedding Day Disaster very much. The angst starts right at the beginning with Darcy and Elizabeth's wedding being interrupted by Darcy's aunt Lady Catherine de Bourgh. The book was suspenseful and entertaining, steamy and sweet. There's a HEA of course and it is very delightful, and there were moments that I was really worried about Darcy and Lizzy not ending up together because of what Lady Catherine was putting them through!.

This tells the story of if Lady Catherine interrupting the wedding of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy, by producing a document of a formal betrothal between her daughter Anne and Mr Darcy signed by their fathers. What ensues is a circular way of reaching the denouement. In a world of very high calibre AU versions of Pride and prejudice, this story unfortunately doesn't stand out although it is reasonably well written. The plot just doesn't capture the audience. 3/5 stars.

Darcy and Elizabeth must work to prevent their marriage plans from completely falling apart. I love the idea of Anne finding a love of her own. Lady Cathrine's scheming is always entertaining. This was a throughly enjoyable read.

Darcy has finally gotten his beloved Elizabeth to the altar. Too bad Lady Catherine de Bourgh has a marriage contract that binds Darcy to his cousin Anne. Darcy's Wedding Day Disaster is a Pride and Prejudice retelling full of angst, suspense and steam that had me rooting for Darcy and Elizabeth to get their HEA.

A great idea in this JAFF that puts another twist in Jane Austen's classic tale and extends the story from it's original HEA ending.
