When Mary visits Charlotte at Hunsford, she meets Major Carleton Quartermaine, a brash relation to Lady Catherine de Bourgh. "Carley" sees a side of Mary she's always kept hidden, and he utterly disarms her when they sing a duet together.
The attention is unexpected and thrilling, but can prim Mary give her heart to a man she cannot trust?

This was a relatively short story and surprisingly sweet. It is written from Mary's perspective and gives little attention to those mainstays of JAFF - Lizzy and Darcy. The storyline is somewhat altered from the original Pride and Prejudice, although given it's focus on Mary and what she sees and knows only, it is not clear exactly what has changed. From what little we saw of them, Austen's characters are essentially true to themselves. There were no obvious historical inaccuracies that I noticed (although I am no expert) and I did not notice any typos. The prose itself flowed easily and was a pleasure to read. There wasn't any substantial angst either; it is a happily-ever-after ending with only a few mishaps along the way.I happily recommend this to any JAFF enthusiasts, with the caution that Mary really is the center of this story. Everyone else except her beau is background; Mary's thoughts, feelings and growth is what it is all about. I found it very refreshing and will be eagerly watching for the author's next book!

The Wager A Pride and Prejudice Vagary Accomplished Ladies Book 1 edition by Kate Bedlow Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
You don't get much out of the story it's short and sweet to the point of the end of the tail and you can see it coming a mile away. But if you need your a good Mary Bennett fix this is your story. But don't put too much faith in it. if you want something deeper.
I am enjoying Ms. Rigel's series on the minor characters of Pride and Prejudice. This novella on Mary Bennet's romance is delightful. I love the new character in the Major and how Ms. Rigel presents a fully fleshed out funny, but human hero. Looking forward to more of her stories.
I wasn't sure if I would care for this retelling, but it was worth reading. I do wish the writing was a bit clearer. Some sentences needed to be read more than once for me to make sense of them.
This is another delightful take inspired by Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. All of your favorite characters are present, only seen through the eyes of Mary Bennett. I highly recommend it.
I'm a Mary Bennet fan and what can I say, I love it when Mary comes out on top for a change. I've always felt there was so much more to her than Jane Austen had time to develop. She just needed the right atmosphere in which to shine. Rosings Park was that atmosphere (with lost shoe roses) and the presence of Major Charlton Quartermire was just the force that brought out the real Mary. This is a very special novella that will warm your heart and bring a smile to your face. It is fast paced, well developed with just enough of P&P to tie it all together but new enough to satisfy all of us "non classic" JAFF fans. This is my first book by Ms Bedlow but not my last. Great read Kate, thanks for sharing it with us.
For some reason I love reading about Mary Bennett. Most of the ones I have found were good. Her character in this variation is realistic and enjoyable.
This was a clean read, moved quickly and was off canon. Our POV was from Mary. We are in her head as she appraised, evaluated, and had an opinion on everything that was happening at Longbourn with her parents and her sisters. She watched and listened and then considered what motivated their actions. She saw the inner person and had feelings and emotions of her own. She judged a bit harshly only to later realize perhaps Jane and Lizzy were correct in their opinions in the first place.
“In finding love, I think it’s important to be patient. In being in a relationship, I think it’s important to be honest, to communicate, to respect and trust, and to strive to give more than you take.” Kina Grannis
It was she that went to Hunsford to visit Charlotte, and it was at Rosings Park that she met Major Carleton Quartermaine. I don’t think she was the same after that meeting. I remembered him from another book by Bedlow, Darcy and Elizabeth Fair Trade. Major Carleton Quartermaine was the son of Sir Lewis de Bourgh’s sister. That made him another nephew [by marriage] to Lady Catherine and cousin [through marriage] to Darcy and Georgiana, Richard and Anne. Let’s just say that after Darcy and our dear Colonel Fitzwilliam… Major Quartermaine is next in line for hotness. I love this guy. Talk about the air leaving the room when these three guys walk in. OMG!!
I do have to say that the disjointed feeling never left the story. I was constantly questioning… what??? There were scenes where I wasn’t clear how we got there, what the characters were doing and what was going on. I was a little put off as Mary overheard the conversation that was so upsetting to her. We were in the dark with her as well. This was a serious trust issue between Mary and the Major. What was the actual wager all about? We were completely left out of that scene. Later, there was an attempt at an explanation, but I was still confused.
The darkness or shadow, the maudlin thoughts of our Mary at the first of the story, soon blew away and the rest of the book was lighter in tone as we followed events that lead to Mary’s HEA. I loved the scenes between Mary and the Major, his choice of words and how he attempted to romance her. When he sang with her… swoon worthy. OMG! I loved the part where he sang to… oh, sorry, that would be a spoiler.
This book is a stand-a-lone so there was no cliff hanger. It is followed by Not Romantic which is the story of Charlotte.
This book was a free offer on and is an honest review.
