At the end of each review I will post a
rating scale of 1-5 using the cute and original (lol) Playing Cards.
Rating scale will be as follows:
5 of Hearts- You must read this book NOW!!
4 of Hearts- A great read, put it on your TBR list.
3 of Hearts- Happy that I read it...a good read.
2 of Hearts- Just O.K but nothing to write home about.
Joker Card - Don't bother (why did I?)
Mr. Darcy has a secret and Elizabeth is torn about wanting to know the truth and pretending that nothing is amiss. This story line captured me from the very first page and kept me turning the pages excited to find out what Darcy was hiding from Lizzy. I felt as if the author had the spirit of Jane Austen residing within her because the language, tempo, flavor, and the actions of the characters so closely resembled Austen's. I also really enjoyed the inclusion of Georgiana's own love story and how it made Darcy really stop and wonder if his pride was something of the past or not. This book felt very cohesive and put me right into the spirit of Pemberley and what "may" have happened after Darcy and Elizabeth married. This book will make any Austen fan happy and I feel that it takes the variations of P&P to a new level.

ReplyDeleteSounds like another fun derivative to look for!
ReplyDeleteLove the premise of the story, and who doesn't want more Darcy? Looks like another book has to be added to my TBR pile! :)
ReplyDeleteI have returned to 'borrowing' your idea. I find it is very helpful for graphic novels and comics because you want to say you like them, but you don't want to give a lot away. So that is what I did today. :)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds AWESOME Staci! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
ReplyDeleteSometimes there's nothing like a good Austen-themed novel! This seems like a good one.
ReplyDeleteI've heard that this this novel is good and better than a lot out there. I always wonder which one to start with. I may have to try this author.
ReplyDeleteSo, what was the secret? Just kidding, I have to read it to find out right?
ReplyDeleteSounds good. Will add it to my wish list.
ReplyDeleteHigh praise for such an Austin lover as you. I sometimes wonder if authors actually can channel other authors when they write a book that captures the essences of the original story.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds interesting! Great review :)
ReplyDeleteI like your 6 sentence reviews! Glad you liked this one!
ReplyDeleteReally? Cool beans then. I will add this to the list. You know how picky I am about my P&P follow-ups. Great review as always :)
