I received this ARC book. I really enjoyed the twist in this version of Pride & Prejudice. It was wonderful to read that Darcy’s father was included in this story, and that Bingley had more of a backbone in this version. There was still a lot of tension within the characters and the rift Caroline caused, which I also enjoyed. I especially enjoyed Anne and how she was able to make a stand in front of her mother. The ultimatums both Elizabeth and Darcy were given by their father had me worried, however I was so happy with the outcome. I also have to say that I thoroughly love that Georgiana played a bigger part in this story than in the original. All in all I have to say that I loved his book. I would highly recommend this book and I will be rereading it in the future many times.
I’m a sucker for Jane Austin look-alike’s. This is close and lovely with few slip-ups. A great read.
The women are great in this story.
Loved it –
Nice twist on characters that you already have a history with.
I love Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, so anything that spins off that merits my time. This was a nice little story-variation. Don’t know that Jane would have approved… too much modern cross-over
not Jane Austen but entertaining non the less.
It was okay but not my favorite of other Pride and Prejudice variations I’ve read.
I loved how the author took very well-known characters and kept them genuine. This was a great twist on one of my favorite tales.
Fun take on an old tale!
Another good rendition to the original. Clean romance.
Highly Recommend. Keeps your attention.
I loved the characters & the storyline.
Good addition to the original.
Another good look at possibilities for the life of “Mr Darcy” with good plot twists, and realistic characters.
I enjoy a good P&P variation and this one had a good “what if”. What if Mr. Darcy still lived and threatened to disown Darcy if he doesn’t marry and start producing grandchildren. And what if Jane and Elizabeth were given one season in London but if they come back without an engagement… then Collins…. Ewww. Terrible ultimatum.
I wasn’t always sure that characters would react the way they were written but in some cases I was happy to see the changes. Jane gets a backbone and actually feels negative when the situation merits it. Anne de Bourgh refuses a proposal and stands up to her mother!
It was also interesting to see into characters that don’t get much in the real P&P. Mr. Darcy was way more outgoing and boisterous than I would have thought and the description of Mrs. Darcy is a lot more haughty than I tend to think of her. Perhaps the author’s ideas are more accurate. It doesn’t really matter though. I can accept this view for this book.
There is a bit of violence in the end cuz, well, Wickham. But it really isn’t the main part of the story. The story is light, fun and interesting. And clean.
