You know, I rather enjoyed this retelling. The premise of this version is that Darcy goes and apologizes to Elizabeth the day for his insult - "she is tolerable I suppose, but not handsome enough to tempt me" - at the Assembly. He sees her character early, how she challenges him and does not play th...

Esta autora sabe cautivarte con su narrativa, siempre plantea las situaciones con ingenio y acierto. Al haber tantos hombres lobos y cada uno con su historia, su parte humana, los hacen vulnerables porque interviene la parte emocional y mental. Los hay rebeldes, snobs, resentidos, chulos, con rasgo...

Cautivadora variación porque tiene varios puntos ingeniosos por los que atraviesan los protagonistas, pero no están solos, tienen ayuda extra que enriquecen más la historia.Empecemos por el principio, un Darcy pidiendo disculpas por su comentario desagradable en la reunión de Meryton, bastó para que...

I liked this way more than I expected to. Mr. Darcy turns into a werewolf... and the writing isn't completely ridiculous! Well done!

The blurb did have me thinking that someone was after werewolves and that there would be danger and so on. But there was not anything like that in this book. No, this book is about Darcy and Lizzie being in love, but Darcy never proposes. Something is wrong and Lizzie is growing restless. He obvious...

More 3.75My thoughts:Yes I am back with another variation and this one is actually one of the best ones I have read. I really fell for this story and perhaps it was because things worked out so well.This is a bit different in the aspect that Mr Darcy is looking for a bride and has settled on a fine ...

RATING: 4.5The Perfect Bride for Mr. Darcy offers a delightfully detailed background to the story and the characters of Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, as well as interesting and accurate insight into the society of the time. That makes it a highly enjoyable read and a must-read for lovers of Austen’s...

My thoughts:I do love my Jane Austen variations, and this one introduces Anne in such a new light. She is quiet, but that is mostly because of her mother. When she is with her cousins she is another woman, but still she is ill and will therefore never marry. I did like this new portrait of Anne. Geo...
