Poor Miss Austin must be rolling in her grave over this book. There is no Austin style as is repeatedly reported on the cover.

I have no doubt that the person I ordered this book from, was happy to get it off their shelf. They probably chuckled behind their hand, then shook their head. I had no idea what I was in for.

After attempting to read this book twice (as well as "Darcy and Elizabeth" by the same author}, I have given up. I've considered going through the book and redacting all the unnecessary words, but I fear it would leave most pages blank.

This story has nothing to do with our beloved Darcy and Elizabeth.

I found it very difficult to follow the story with all of the flashbacks within flashbacks. It was like going in circles. And the fact that Ms. Berdoll wasn't even true to the flashbacks was even more disappointing.

It's mild to medium porn with such ridiculous scenes, it made this 53 year old roll my eyes or blush (and I am by no means a prude).

I'm torn as to what I should do with my copy. It's perfect compost, or possibly fire starter. Maybe I will repost it to my shelf. Then I can chuckle behind my own hand when some poor unsuspecting reader requests it from me.

This book gets half a star from me, only because a rating is required to post this. It's not worth the half.
