”Jane Austen meets Hollywood bad boys in this hate-to-love romance.”The golden boy. Wes Spencer, aka Mr. Darcy, has it all: the face of a Greek god, millions of adoring fans, a mile-long yacht and a bored attitude. The last thing he needs is a crew member on his new film set nearly dying in his arms.The stunt girl. That’s me, Ari Demos. I just landed a coveted job as a stunt double in the new … landed a coveted job as a stunt double in the new Pride and Prejudice movie adaptation starring actor slash phenomenon Weston Spencer. Cue high dives and complicated car stunts along the narrow cliffs of Corfu -one false step and I could lose not only my job, but my life.
I wanted nothing to do with the arrogant English boy. Waking up to his kiss was something other girls dreamed of, not me. The movie star is the last person I’d expect to save my life.
Falling in love was never supposed to be part of the job. Fighting to stay alive was never supposed to be part of growing up.

I started the series with volume 2.
As soon as volume 2 SAVE ME was finished , I had to fill in my gaps : knowing the beginning of the story with volume 1 of LOSE ME (the story of Ari and Weston, but from Ari’s point of view).
And I was not disappointed !
I loved this novel with Ari’s adorable , low key, hardworking main character.
A real stark contrast to the main character of Weston in volume 2…
Ari moved me a lot in her story.
But I found some parts too confused and too complicated to read.
It was easier and more logical to read book two before book one ( the story of book one is more complete).
I don’t think there will be a book 3…
*I received an eCopy from the author for review. This does not affect my review.*
What an emotional trip! This book definitely has its highs and lows, but I ended up enjoying the story. From the start, I was drawn to Ari’s character. I loved her strong spirit and her fearlessness. Wes took longer to grow on me, but I loved his friendship with Ollie, and how he cared for Ari when she needed someone from the start. The story wasn’t so much a Pride and Prejudice retelling as a book about a character who loves classic literature. This fact threw me off for a bit, but I ended up enjoying the story enough that it didn’t matter.
The story is fairly long for a romance and is broken up into two parts. The first one was fast-paced and fun, the second more emotional but not my favorite, and the ending where some much-needed lessons are learned. I really didn’t care for the second part at all, and it almost turned me against this story. While I understand mental illness, the middle part talks about a lot of unhealthy decisions that seemed to exist just for the purpose of causing unneeded drama.
I also didn’t like the author’s paraphrasing of the Bible. I have no problem reading a book where a character finds faith, or even better God, but the Bible isn’t mean to be reworded to fit our needs. That is dangerous and even forbidden according to said Bible. (Deuteronomy 4:2) That said, I did like the quote used, but felt it took away from the original meaning and is misleading for a reader who has not read the Bible.
This is so so good and once I picked it up I could not put it down. It’s emotional and powerful and so addictive that once finished I just sat there. It’s a wonderful story of two people from two different worlds with a love hate relationship that has its ups and downs. It made me gasp, made me laugh and it made me cry and I absolutely loved it!
A charismatic tale with a hint of pride and prejudice and an up to date twist. The characters are very relatable and the storyline is engrossing. It was an emotional rollercoaster… I hated some characters at times but then fell in love with them. I cried .. I raged.. I laughed. And I couldn’t put this book down.
I received a free ARC and am posting an honest review.
