The Predisposition of Elizabeth Bennet
An insulting proposal without an explanatory letter…how can they possibly reconcile? When her sister Lydia elopes without a trace, Elizabeth Bennet must put aside her predisposition against Mr. Darcy—the man whose hand she refused months earlier—and plead for his assistance in locating the wayward couple. As a result, they face daunting hurdles with help from well-loved friends and interference from old rivals. Will their struggles result in permanent estrangement or a love match? The Predisposition of Miss Elizabeth Bennet is delightful, suspenseful and overall a completely enjoyable Pride and Prejudice variation. I was happy to read Hunter Quinn’s debut novel. I found the story to be varied enough from the original but…

I have no notion who I am meant to be. In 1789, a terrible crime is committed, plunging one family into grief as another rejoices at the gift of an unexpected son. Two decades later, a chance meeting leads to the discovery of the lost heir of Pemberley and the man who knew himself as Mr William Lucas is restored to his birthright as Fitzwilliam Darcy of Pemberley.

Northfanger
Are you looking for a book you can really sink your teeth into? -ok, I couldn’t resist a cheesy pun. How long has it been since the Twilight crazy? I remember year ago when I was pregnant with my son, I grabbed the first book at the grocery store on day on a whim. I was hooked from the first book. Something about the fantasy would of vampires just sucked me in. Well. the Jane Austen Fan Fiction world never disappoints. Northanger Abbey is one of my top Austen novels… so why would I NOT take the chance to read Northanger Abbey… Vampire style. Jayne Bamber is really creating some…

The Unread Letters
Hello fellow readers! As I am writing this blog review, I am gazing longingly outdoors wanting to go on a Lizzie Bennet long walk. Alas, the skies are gloomy and a walk is not meant to be. So instead, dear friends, I will write this letter to you about a book I just read. The title of the book is The Unread Letter by Kara Pleasants. I must admit at first I found this to be quite a peculiar name. Which letter was unread? Who was it written by? I couldn’t imagine a Pride & Prejudice world without each and every letter. My friends, I knew I had to read…

Fearful Symmetry
Longbourn is on fire! Hello fellow reader. Welcome to a review of Fearful Symmetry. This book does not treat the poor Bennet’s kindly. As a family, they endure so much grief. Be prepared to read a Pride & Prejudice variation that vividly walks you through both physical and emotional loss, rips your heart apart, and then puts it back together. I have to say, that I truly enjoyed this Darcy. He really captures the true spirit of Austen’s Mr Darcy. Along the way, there are some fun twists on Austen’s quotes which brought a smile to my face. The characters are lively and quite enjoyable. This is a great variation!…

Sons of Pemberley by Elizabeth Adams
Welcome my fellow reading friends! How do you feel about reimagining a favorite story? I must admit, while I am reading more Austen fan fiction, I don’t think I had read a reimaging at this level -until Sons of Pemberley. Now, that I have read one I am in full support of more. First, let me start out by saying that every book I have read by Elizabeth Adams has been pure creative genius. This book is no exception! I hardly know what I expected going into it but I soon realized I was on a completely different pace -much to my delight. I’ve been racking my brain since I…

Nine Ladies by Heather Moll
It should come as no surprise at this point that today we are talking about another Pride & Prejudice variation. I basically survived 2020 by hanging out with Mr. Darcy a few times a week. (it might have only been in my dreams but it was enough to make the year go by faster.) But, what might surprise you is that there is time travel this time. Yep! We are getting all Back to the Future over here. I’m so happy to welcome my good friend, Heather Moll, to the blog today to introduce her newest book Nine Ladies. I’m handing it over to you, Heather… Thanks for welcoming me…

Lovers’ Meeting
Welcome fellow readers! Today I have another wonderful Jane Austen fan fiction to review for you. First off let us have a moment with this cover, shall we? I love the subtle touch of their hands. It really captures the spirit of this book. It is a truth universally acknowledged that the disastrous first meeting of Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet at the Meryton Assembly provided each with a ready-made set of prejudices to apply to the other. But when a horrific rural accident reveals Darcy to be a man of active, intelligent benevolence, and Elizabeth, in the absence of her appalling family, to be an extraordinary lady of courage…

Fallen by Jessie Lewis
I was positively giddy when I saw Jessie Lewis had a new release coming out early in 2021. I discovered Jessie late last year when I read her book, Speechless. If you haven’t read it yet, I can’t recommend it enough. When the chance came to be able to read Fallen and interview Jessie, I squealed with delight! Fallen is unique in that it follows cannon pretty closely for the first quarter-ish of the book… and then it’s hang on to your hats! It is a wild curricle ride of emotions. What makes this book set apart from others is its ability to make you second-guess the characters you have…
