My thoughts:
What happens when you take a famous scene from an incredibly popular novel and change it up? Abigail Reynolds does just that in this Pride and Prejudice variation novel. This is the story of what would have happened had Lizzy said 'yes' when Mr. Darcy proposed the first time.
There where times that I wanted to shake Lizzy for being so stubborn & Darcy for being so tactless. They do not lead a happily ever after from the beginning, but then did you ever expect that of them? They play games, there are misunderstandings and it was fun to see the relationship develop. There is one steamy scene included (which of course I happened to be reading on my train ride home from work) so just be forewarned! Abigail's love of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice shines through. This was an easy, fun read that I would suggest to all P&P fans.
