CEK ，

Spies and flowers and romancePlenty of adventure， a few non-canon characters， low angst， a little mystery， and lots of romantic possibilities in an alternate universe。 I loved the sweetness， the witty dialogue， and a well-written story。

Christie Serrano ，

Carol ，

This version gave a unique twist to Mr。 Wickham， Unfortunately his image as a scoundrel has been the trademark of the other variations 。 it was entertaining however
