Write an Elizabeth I will like!

I hated Elizabeth, she was demanding and full of herself and actually everything that she accuses Mr Darcy of being. She talks about needing to change but doesn’t but still expects him to.

Delightful

This is a sweet read that lacks all the ponderous drama of the original. We are left with delightful characters and unique solutions to the Canon dilemmas. The resolutions are every bit as enjoyable as the original.

Delightful

An excellent narration by Jannie Meisberger. Her performance is lively and exuberant, but not overdone and is very pleasing and satisfying. Oh how I love letters, especially love letters from Darcy to Elizabeth. Darcy’s gestures through his last letters before the ending make him especially romantic.

On a side note, I love this quote, “You are ending a sentence with a preposition, Mother. It is not done.” —Anne to Lady Catherine. Ha! This has always been pet peeve with me, so I had to laugh out loud. Although, perhaps JD King is making sport of picky readers like me?

Seriously underrated!

Through a series of letters, you discover the depth of Darcy affection and love for Elizabeth. I absolutely loved the challenge Elizabeth gave Darcy and the sneaky way he was able to show Elizabeth his love. Great book!

An unexpected disappointment.

Dawn King is one of my favorite authors of P&P fiction. I found this Elizabeth so disagreeable that I didn’t finish this book. I look forward to King’s other books.
