Lacy Williams takes us back to Calvin, Wyoming. We again have new characters, Nathan Bingley and the Bennett family and re-introduction of characters from previous books, particularly Rob Darcy from Marrying Miss Marshall. Rob is best friends with Nathan and brother to Marshall O’Grady. This is a farce of misunderstandings and misdirection. It was really fun to read
Great reading!
This is a lovely, fun and sweet western romance.. I loved it! The characters are cute, funny and lovable..
I voluntarily received a copy of this book for an honest review.
I enjoyed the retelling of Pride and Prejudice from a different perspective, the western frontier of Wyoming. Lacy Williams did a nice job recreating characters of this well-loved story of Jane Austen’s.
Many of the characters were characterized just as in the original story. Janie and Liza’s mom, Mrs. Bennett, was just as gauche and scheming as she was in Pride and Prejudice. I wanted to cringe every time she spoke and would hope for the girls’ sake that she would not be present. This is the exact feeling that I get when read the original story. There were also some variances that made the story unique, such Mr. Collins and his wife, Charlotte, who had a much larger part to play in Liza’s life. If you are a fan of Jane Austen, then you will enjoy this rendition of misunderstandings, forgiveness, and love.
Thank you to the author for a copy of the book. I have reviewed this voluntarily; all opinions are my own.
Sweet adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Loved the Western version of the classic Austen novel.

I purchased a copy of the clean historical western romance Cowboy Pride: Wild Wyoming Hearts{Wind River Hearts book 3} by Lacy Williams and this review was given freely.
This nod to Pride and Prejudice takes place two years after Marrying Miss Marshal and contains many of the names of the characters from the popular novel but some relationships and character roles are different. The unfiltered mother Bennett is set to marry off her four daughters and doesn’t care who hears her plans. Janie and Bingley as well as Liza and Darcy are attracted to each other but the perils of the old west and broken relationships add twists, turns and interest to this version.
I loved this rendition of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice! It was a great read with original characters while still being a good version of the original
I wasn’t expecting to like this book, but I was curious since it was the Big Library Read for this month. And I do like Jane Austen adaptations. It was very cute. Much more fast paced than Austen, such is contemporary vs. classic fiction, but a fun read. I liked the way Darcy and Bingley were written – Austen only let us in on what the women were thinking and it’s helpful to glimpse the motivations of the men rather than only seeing their pride. I also appreciated that Collins was already married (he is by far my least favorite part of Pride and Prejudice). While we all knew how this would end, the changes were amusing, particularly how everyone needed to be nursed back to health at some point in the story (not just Jane) and the intriguing backstories for each character.
