Mr. Darcy was an enigma, until he spoke. Then, he was the enemy. Miss Elizabeth Bennet’s eyes are instantly drawn towards a handsome, mysterious guest who arrives at the Meryton Assembly with the Bingley party. The gentleman destroys her illusions by delivering an insult that turns him from Mr. Divinely Attractive to the Abominable Mr. Darcy. While Elizabeth sets in motion her strategy for retaliation, Darcy plans to win the campaign being waged in the genteel drawing rooms of Hertfordshire. As more players from Jane Austen’s beloved cast of characters enter the fray, complications arise – some with irreversible consequences. Can a truce be called before their hearts become casualties as well? How many times can two people go from enemies to friends and back again before it’s too late? A Regency romance from best-selling author, J. Dawn King, inspired by Pride and Prejudice.
Don’t miss this wonderful book. I loved it. This book was a wonderful read. It took some different turns but was clever enough to pull you along and to enjoy each new idea. The two of them working things out and then having another difference worked well too. I loved what happened to Miss Lucas as she is one of my most favorite characters. Do not miss this wonderful read. You will enjoy every minute of it.
So enjoyable!! With lots of ups and downs, and lots of adjectives too, this story keeps you reading even when you have some other things to do. And in this case, the good Colonel is widely present in a romance of his own.You really have to read this one. ❤
Chess references, king, queen, pawn I loved this story. There were times I laughed out loud or giggled like a little girl. J. Dawn King was sneaky with her humor. She created humorous scenes that caught you completely off guard. I nearly snorted my morning coffee through my nose. It was totally unexpected.
