Timing can make all the difference! The Militia and the Netherfield party arrived at the same time in Meryton. As events unfold, Jane first meets Mr. Wickham, while Lizzy encounters Mr. Bingley. Introductions to new acquaintances can lead to attachments that become complicated. Mr. Bingley is interested in Lizzy, but that is before he has a chance to spend time with her older sister. Wickham is enchanted and seriously pursuing the lovely Jane. And Darcy finds himself increasingly drawn to a woman he is adamant he will never marry, which an unlikely source has much to say about in Complicated Attachments, A Pride and Prejudice Variation by Denise O'Hara.

This was a quick and very angst-free read (which may not be everyone's cup of tea...it's definitely not mine, but this was a sweet story nonetheless). The most tension I think is felt by the reader when these strange pairings happen.As it turns out, due to some coincidences that make those of us familiar with the original story fan ourselves, Jane meets Wickham first and Lizzy meets Bingley first and thus the sparks fly from those two couples. Sort of. Of course it couldn't have lasted long as Jane had to meet Bingley and all had to be righted in the P&P world. I found the circumstances of Jane and Bingley getting to know each other interesting, since as the story goes, it's Lizzy who ends up ill at Netherfield and Jane tending to her.
And in the middle of all this Darcy quickly develops feelings for Lizzy and actually spends time reading to her in her convalescence. Since at this point Lizzy was never disparaged as "tolerable" and was never really in Wickham's company, it's easy for her to see through Wickham's lies while sweet, naive Jane tries to defend him until she can't anymore.
One thing I was wrong about in my predictions was thinking Wickham would provide more conflict and tension but the biggest conflict was Darcys running internal monologue about how wrong Lizzy is for him. And when we think they will finally live happily ever after, he STILL makes that horrible proposal. But thanks to spunky and sassy Georgiana, that didn't last long and they do live happy ever after.
It's a sweet and quick story if you like zero angst. :)

Complicated Attachments A Pride and Prejudice Variation edition by Denise O'Hara A Lady Caleb Padron Betty Campbell Madden Romance eBooks Reviews
Never disappointed. This book kept me captivated until the end. She keeps the characters just as interesting to read about as in the original. You fall in love with some and still hate others. Might be reading again because I enjoyed it so much.
This book has such a bad cover I almost didn't buy it but the book is wonderful. Lizzy is so bright and fun and it has a bit of a mix up from the original but it works well and Jane is all that is sweet and lovely and they made Mrs. Bennet a little less bad as well as Lidia and Kitty. But that was okay too. To have Wickham going after Jane and her falling for him is a bit tough and you and I know what a cad he is. But it all works out and is so well done. Do not miss this book.
Nice alternative story
This was a delightful P&P story. It left me wanting more of Denise O'Hara's versions. It was a very satisfying read.
There are many excellent reviews out there that have gone into more detail than I need to. There is no need for me to restate the obvious. Yes, there are errors and too many that should have been caught by an additional proof before it was sent to publication. But, I will overlook that, for the moment and talk about the writing and the story.
In any time-travel book or movie, they always caution the characters to never change anything. If you change one thing, you could change it all and you don’t know what affect it will have on the future. So in this variation we have a juxtaposition of characters and they set in motion many changes that redirects what we remember from canon and takes our story on a very different route.
Bingley meets Elizabeth and is intrigued by her wit and good humor. Wickham meets Jane and is enamored with her beauty, innocence and genuine goodness. He is so convincing with his gentlemanly manners that she is enchanted by him. He has never met anyone like her and asks if he may call on her in order for them to become better acquainted.
At the Assembly Ball, Darcy noticed that Wickham had come to the area. Later, after his true character was revealed, Wickham was referred to as, ‘a wolf in sheep’s clothing.’ Elizabeth danced with an officer with the sniffles and the stage was set for the illness that overtook her when she was invited by the Bingley sisters to Netherfield. Jane came to Netherfield to nurse her sister and became better acquainted with the sisters, Mr. Darcy and finally Mr. Bingley.
After Bingley’s Netherfield Ball, Darcy deserted the area without a by-your-leave and Elizabeth was left crushed and desolate. After Bingley’s engagement to Jane, he notified Darcy that the Bennet women were traveling to London for wedding clothes, Darcy headed to Pemberley to avoid meeting them.
The author was most excellent in giving backstory and explanations either in dialogue or in discussions. I was intrigued with the way the author chose to deliver vital information. The transition from one scene to another was smooth, flowed well and was not disjointed. The language was delightful in spite of the errors. I love the interaction between ODC, at times the language enflamed Elizabeth’s anger and other times she nearly swooned from his passionate words. ODC still had to travel the distance into their HEA as they did in canon. However, their love story ran vastly different than the Jane and Bingley love story. But then, the trip was worth it.
This was a very different Darcy. There was a comment regarding him…that he ‘approached all matters in a cold and analytical way’…that aptly described our hero. This was the master of Pemberley, head of all the Darcy estates, houses, and properties. He was no one to mess with in a board room, meeting or negotiations. And yet, he could not understand or discount his feelings for Elizabeth Bennet. His struggle was the one we had to traverse, whereas Elizabeth acknowledged her feelings way before he did. It was worth it. Georgiana was charming and very different…she was awesome. Her relationship with Caroline was nothing like in canon. I almost didn’t recognize them.
The Epilogue was delightful and completed several loose threads, but what happened to Caroline? Just a thought.
This was a quick and very angst-free read (which may not be everyone's cup of tea...it's definitely not mine, but this was a sweet story nonetheless). The most tension I think is felt by the reader when these strange pairings happen.
As it turns out, due to some coincidences that make those of us familiar with the original story fan ourselves, Jane meets Wickham first and Lizzy meets Bingley first and thus the sparks fly from those two couples. Sort of. Of course it couldn't have lasted long as Jane had to meet Bingley and all had to be righted in the P&P world.
