What if Emma Woodhouse, Jane Austen’s most tenacious character, arrives in Meryton to visit her Bingley cousins and determines to perform a little match making? Emma has a fortnight to meet her promise ~ three matches for her three friends, Elizabeth, Jane, and Charlotte. What could possibly go wrong? What could possibly go right? Take a full cup of humor; add a sprinkling of angst and stir. Bake for a fortnight, and presto three happy endings, or maybe even four? This is a full length Darcy and Elizabeth Regency novel. I hope you enjoy it! I love to hear from my readers. Please contact me at one of the many links at the end of this book. Reviews are very, very much appreciated. Thank you for your wonderful comments on my slightly comedic take on Jane Austen’s classics. I like to think Jane would have enjoyed them.

This is a story I could not pass up with it containing Emma and Mr Knightly. I have to say that when I first read that Emma was a cousin to the Bingleys I was skeptical, knowing Emma's love of the distinction of classes and the Bingleys being from trade. But I have to say it was an enjoyable mash-up seeing that Emma is a good adversary to Caroline, and is in equal spirits as Elizabeth.Emma is on a vacation to vivisection the Bingleys at Netherfield, this occurs shortly after Miss Taylor becomes Mrs Weston. I just love how straight forward and observing Emma truly is, for instance at the first meal she reads Mr Darcy's stiff posture correctly and puts him at ease with a general statement to the whole group that she does not foresee marriage in her future and is happy in her station at home with her father. Therefore, Mr Darcy starts to relax around her not feeling that she is a huntress like Caroline.
I love that Emma befriends Elizabeth, Jane, and Charlotte and vows to help them meet their future husbands. The story was a great idea and well thought out, though I do believe that things were a bit rushed at the end. I also was left to wonder what happened to Caroline and Wickham (separately).
I do have to say that Elizabeth is not my full favorite Elizabeth I've read before, the main reason being how absolutely fickle she is. She can be in a conversation with Darcy and go from admiring him to hating him, and back again within the same conversation. Case in point her thoughts on Darcy during and after his proposal. Same with Wickham, she can go from admiration to questioning what he says, to complete agreement all within the same conversation.
I would have no difficulty with recommending this story to any JAFFer.

Darcy Lizzy and Emma A Pride and Prejudice Regency Variation Barbara Silkstone 9780997792676 Books Reviews
I liked bringing the characters of Hartfield and Hertfordshire together like this. It was entertaining.
A fresh, clever Pride & Prejudice variation. Emma insertion into the Meryton universe added humor and intrigue. Well done.
Great book, great author. Will never be able to say enough good things about her books. They are funny and capture the personality of each each character perfectly.
As with all of Silkstone's books, I could not put this one down. I found myself in the parlor, on horseback, and in the garden with Lizzy and Emma. Silkstone always delivers her characters right into my imagination. She doesn't miss a detail. This read cleverly adds Emma as a cousin AND matchmaker making me wish for her services. A refreshing, delightful read that elicits all the emotions but ends with a smile. Thank you.
There are more love matches than just Lizzy and Darcy in this tale of Emma who fancies herself a Matchmaker. She has her sights set on 3 in a fortnight!! Yet another fun read involving the Bennet sisters, the unlikely cousin, Mr Collins and some surprises along the way!! Maybe more matches than planned?? Enjoy!!!!
I read a lot of JAFF, and after a while, it seems like it's all been done plotwise. I was wrong about that. This plot is totally unique from what I've read. Take a bumbling matchmaker from another Austen classic and mix her in with the P&P cast who bumble their own matches and you get a totally diverting story that I thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend it.
Definitely a book worthy of five stars! There was something for every reader in this book...romance, comedy, drama. The interweaving of characters from Pride and Prejudice and Emma was ingenious. Thank you Ms. Silverstone for total original, diverting plot!
