Thank you so much for commenting, Mary. I hope you enjoy the story too, when you get to read it.

Darcy-in-Collins-body really shines in this variation. <br /><br />I think if a book is particularly angsty, or sad, I need to have enough story after the turn of the plot for my heart rate to go back to normal, and then a little more to bask in the happy ever after :)Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-90324157922255609812016-08-09T00:17:05.743+01:002016-08-09T00:17:05.743+01:00Thank you Sheila!

It was so good to see Lizzy caught on the back foot for once, she was really quite perplexed by her cousin. <br /><br />I never thought I would find myself swooning at Mr Collins either, it was very disturbing!<br /><br />And like you say, the proposal was killer, and the usage of some recognisable lines from canon was so well done!Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-90612988288673939612016-08-09T00:13:20.632+01:002016-08-09T00:13:20.632+01:00That is very true, Claudine.

I recently listed to 'Sense & Sensibility' on audio and was reminded of one of my favouite Austen quotes - 'It isn't what we say or think that defines us, but what we do'- it's so true, and I think you could also add that our belongings don't define us either. If Mr Darcy had Mr Collins' personality there is no way that he'd be viewed as a romantic hero 200 years later!Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-69452304772400343832016-08-09T00:07:40.505+01:002016-08-09T00:07:40.505+01:00Hehe!

Gotta say the questions you posed at the start were not a million miles away from those going through my mind at the very thought of the body swap idea. Events,like you said,could have spiralled out of control worth devastating consequences!!!! So glad there's a HEA for all concerned and that you enjoyed the story.

I found myself giggling out loud and the way Lizzy changed her mind about her 'cousin' was amazing. The scene where 'Mr Collins' goes hunting got me swooning and, as I said before, hats off to Laura Hile for making it possible for anyone to swoon over someone who looks like Mr Collins :) As for 'Darcy's first proposal, OMG :D :D<br /><br />Thanks for a great book and a great review, ladies!
