For Love Apart is a collection of two previously published Pride and Prejudice novellas
Irresistibly Alone by Julie Cooper
UNTIL THE DAY of the Netherfield Ball, Elizabeth Bennet’s greatest concerns are wondering who might partner with her for a dance and the likely ruin of her shoe roses after she stands up with Mr. Collins. A death in the neighbourhood changes everything, including her belief in the benevolence of the father she has always adored. Suddenly, she alone holds the means of salvation for her family’s future. Alas, what is required of her is marriage to a man old enough to be her grandfather.
FITZWILLIAM DARCY REGRETTED insulting the lovely Elizabeth Bennet—but not enough to apologise. After all, raising the hopes of such an ineligible young lady would be improper and unkind. That night at Netherfield, however, he not only discovers Elizabeth’s future is tragically decided, but he begins to see a depth of grace and courage in her that he has never known in another.
The Wallflower by Frances Reynolds
ELIZABETH BENNET and her sister Jane have come to London in the autumn at the invitation of their uncle. Elizabeth, initially delighted by the novelty of new acquaintances and experiences in London, dislikes one proud, conceited, and unfairly handsome Mr Darcy who renders a grievous insult to her at one of their first meetings. Alas, the social downfall of this insult is rapid and severe for Elizabeth.
FITZWILLIAM DARCY regrets his intemperate words and wishes everyone would allow them to be forgot. Alas, with Charles Bingley set on winning Jane Bennet's heart and hand, and his noble uncle eager to further an acquaintance with the Gardiners, he will have to do more than merely wish. He will have to admit that a young lady left sitting without a dance partner may still be very tempting indeed.

Irresistably Alone, written by Julie Cooper
This book is everything a Pride and Prejudice variation should be. Julie Cooper, in this unputdownable novella, has written a perfect love story in the truest sense of those words. Oh my, I wish I could give it ten stars.
The Wallflower, written by Frances Reynolds
In this dual Elizabeth/Darcy POV novella-length book, Frances Reynolds cleverly lets us see just what each of them is feeling or thinking as the plot unfolds. ‘The Wallflower’ is a very satisfying read and is well written and edited. I highly recommend it.

In Wallflower by Francis Reynolds - Elizabeth stands out with her nature to try to find happiness in trying circumstances. Circumstances that were of course caused by Darcy. But as usual he realizes his error and sets out to make amends. Stevie Zimmerman as always gives a perfect performance.

It's official. I don't like bad Mr. Bennett trope variations. I far prefer his sardonic teasing and knowing glances with Elizabeth. I'm also not a fan of higher angst stories so this one had two strikes against it.
I did fully enjoy poor Mr. Darcy's character as he went out of his way to show kindness in a situation that cannot benefit himself. I liked that Elizabeth tries to gain a positive attitude about her unfortunate situation. And I loved thoughtful Mary. I feared she would make a different choice since I could argue it in both directions and have a satisfactory reason for either decision but I was ever so happy to see her choose as I wanted her to.
Even though I didn't love the trope I liked the story well enough to try another book by this author if there is something less angsty to suit me better. 3 stars
The Wallflower by Frances Reynolds
I'm a little conflicted about how I want to rate this. I enjoyed the story overall but Darcy's jerk behavior has far reaching consequences that he did little to repair. I was disappointed in him not feeling duty bound to make amends for his behavior. There is still a HEA in the end but Elizabeth did have some suffering to deal with because of Darcy. So basically, I liked the story but hated a character's behavior. 4.5 stars
I listened to the audiobook and Stevie Zimmerman's narration was fabulous as usual.
