Different twist on Austin cute stories one brought characters from different books together interesting
Love all Jane Austen books. Always love the descriptions of characters , clothes and homes.
Great predictable stories all a bit different using the characters from Pride and Prejudice.
This is a cute book. A compilation of multiple books with the same characters. All stories end with the same ending basically. Interesting reads though, Christmas settings. Enjoyable reads.
A fun quick read
Cute Christmas story.
This was a very unique series of stories. Putting very different perspectives on the same person. Good read
Liked the different takes on the characters…very interesting read….
I enjoyed all the stories. I don’t like the cover much; Elizabeth would never wear that much makeup.
Twists on the Pride and Prejudice story with Darcy proposing at Christmas and oher Austen characters popping in. Four short stories, some better than others.
Fun and entertaining
Love all Pride and Prejudice variations…this one was good too.
I love to read about Darcy and Elizabeth. Again, a little drawn out
Nice twists to a beloved historical romance
I enjoyed the first book, the rest were not memorable. I have read all Jane Austen’s books, some as set works at school and university so the genre is very appealing to me.
