'The stunning conclusion to Grafton's trilogy delivers on all of the promises from the first two volumes, and was well worth the wait! I have loved reading this series and can't recommend it enough to anyone who ever wonders "what if?" Inspired by Austen blog

Inspired by Pride & Prejudice, A Fair Prospect is an introspective, character-driven re-imagining of Jane Austen's classic.

Desperate Measures is the concluding part to the trilogy.

Reeling from the news of Elizabeth's engagement to Harington, and desperate to avoid any possible further encounter, as much for the lady's sake as his own, Darcy seeks distraction, removing to the West Country with his sister and cousin where they prepare to embark on a journey to Dublin.

Elizabeth, meanwhile, is struggling with an inexplicable lowness of spirit following the gentleman's removal from Town. Fate, however, has unfinished business with them both, and before long the lady is travelling to the West Country herself.

As Darcy strives to leave the past behind, will Elizabeth realise where her heart truly lies and, if so, can she find a way of letting Darcy know her feelings have changed, or is it too late for them both?

What are readers saying?

'For those of you who enjoy the Austen variations of Pride and Prejudice, Cassandra Grafton represents one of the most substantial authors I have read and the 3 volume A Fair Prospect collection she has created is a remarkably well written and crafted novel series that I would encourage you to delight in. As the work extends across the 3 books, this allows Ms Grafton the opportunity to develop the plot and characters with depth and breadth and in a voice that is very much Jane Austen. I thoroughly enjoyed the precious and pleasurable reading experience she provided and hope that her vivid imagination is inspired to provide more.' Amazon CA Review

'This trilogy was one of the best stories of Lizzy and Darcy! I fell completely in love with the story, it's perfect! The story-line is very good, the characters remains faithful to themselves, the dialogues are great, the scenes created are believable and adoring. Darcy and Elizabeth gradually fall in love and we fall in love with this story. It's passionate, intriguing well written, magic, romantic, well..I could go on, but I think you got the point. One of the best P&P variations I've ever read!' From Pemberley to Milton blog

'Volume III lives up to its predecessors and is every bit as good as Volume I and II. The story built to a very rewarding finish. The author stays consistent in her writing of beautiful Regency language. She never falters. Her original characters stay true to their nature throughout the trilogy and her new characters are charming and well written. All three books are exceptional and I highly recommend them.'
